Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts, so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth is becoming deserts all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth.

    Some places on the earth don't get much rain. But they still don't become deserts. This is because some green plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very helpful to dry places. Plants don't let the hot sun make the earth even drier. Plants don't let the wind blow the earth away. When a little bit of rain falls, the plants hold the water. Without the plants, the land can become a desert much more easily.

    The book I read is A Picture to Remember by Sarah Scott-Malden. It's 1 a girl called Christina. One day, when she was waiting at the traffic lights, she 2 two men with a gun in a car next to her. They were bank robbers (抢劫者) and she saw 3 faces. They didn't want her to tell the police, so they planned to kill her.

    At first, one of the robbers attacked Christina near the park, but 4 she only got her arm hurt slightly. After she called in her friend, Philippe, for help, they were 5 in the street when the robbers drove their car into them. Philippe was 6 to go to hospital. When Christina visited Philippe and left the 7, the robbers followed her. Christina saw that they had a gun and understood 8 they wanted to do. She was scared, but she kept calm. The robbers were close behind her, but they were driving 9 fast that they couldn't stop the car and it turned over, so the police caught 10 the robbers. That' s the end of the story.
