Leonardo da Vinci（莱奥纳多·达·芬奇）was a famous artist who was born in Italy. He was also a great inventor. Many of his inventions have become important in modern life. Although Leonardo hated war，he invented many different machines used for war. His most special invention was the machine gun，which was produced and used in war. Besides，Leonardo spent days thinking about how to save time. He developed ideas for something like cutting machines.

Leonardo was a strange man. He never ate meat. That was very unusual in those times（时代）. He never published（发表）scientific discoveries. He usually used mirror writing，which looks like usual writing in a mirror，starting from the right side of the page and moving to the left side.

Only a few of his paintings are left today. Many paintings were not finished because he thought they were not perfect.

Leonardo was talented and creative. He was regarded as one of the most intelligent men in the world.

Some US scientists say it is because there were not enough male（雄性的）dinosaurs. They got this idea after researching crocodiles（鳄鱼）.

Mother crocodiles lay eggs and later baby crocodiles come out. The local temperature decides the sex（性别）of the baby crocodile. When the eggs are at a temperature of 26 ℃ to 30 ℃，the babies are all girls；when the temperature is 30℃ to 34℃，there are both boys and girls；when it is 34Cto36℃，only boys are born.

Dinosaurs' babies also came from eggs. So scientists have given us a new picture: millions of years ago，it suddenly became very cold. Almost all dinosaur babies were girls. There were fewer and fewer male dinosaurs. Mother dinosaurs could not give birth to more babies. Finally，these powerful animals disappeared.

任务2：阅读短文（B），根据英文释义及首字母提示拼写单词。

【1】e_________ as many or as much as necessary

【2】l ___________ to produce eggs from the bodies of birds，insects and so on

【5】____________________________

Are the baby crocodiles only boys when it's 35℃？

Plogging，a new way to exercise，began in Sweden（瑞典）. The name “plogging” comes from two words-the Swedish（瑞典的）word "plocka”，which means" to pick up（捡起）”，and the word “jogging”，which means" “to run slowly”. A Swedish man called Erik started the movement. He saw rubbish here and there when riding to work each day. He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to go to work by bike any more. Instead，he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish at the same time.

To his joy，more and more people followed him and soon plogging became popular.

Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the earth. Sometimes rubbish is difficult to collect because it may scatter all around. But if the runners pick up the rubbish on the way，it is quite different. After all，many hands make light work. Another reason is that plogging burns more calories（卡路里）. According to a research，plogging for 10minutes burns 48 calories，while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.

Everyone on the earth should play a part in cleaning it up！It's time for us to take action together. So ready？Let's plog tomorrow！
