2. Dinosaurs were a type of lizards. They lived from about 230 million to about 65 million
years ago. In 1842, Sir Richard Owen created the word dinosaur. It came from Greek words
deinos, meaning “terrible” and sauros, meaning “lizard”. Dinosaurs lived on earth for about
140 million years.
During the dinosaurian era, the days were short. The sun was not as hot as it is today. On
earth there was only one big continent and one big ocean. The name of the continent was
pangea (all lands) and the name of the ocean was panthallassa (all seas).
There were many kinds of dinosaurs. Some of them were very big and some others were
small. Some dinosaurs ate leaves and some others ate meat. Some dinosaurs could fly.

B. some dinosaurs could fly in the sky

Gold is found in many places, but in a small supply. It is often found on the surface of
the earth. Since gold is a heavy substance, it is sometimes found loose on bottom of rivers.
The gold is found together with sand and rocks, and must be separated from them. It is
simple to search for this type of gold.
It is not usually necessary to drill for gold, but when a layer of gold is located deep
below the surface of the earth, it is possible to drill a hole into the ground. Engineers have
developed modern process for removing gold from rocks.
Since gold is not very hard, it is sometimes melted and added to other substances for
making rings, coins, and art objects. It will be priced forever because it is beautiful, rare,
and useful.

When a caterpillar is full sized, it goes into another stage called chrysalis. Caterpillars attach
themselves to something solid before becoming a chrysalis. The caterpillar inside the chrysalis
changes into a butterfly. Some butterflies make the change in one week. Some others take years
to change.
When the change is complete, the adult butterfly splits the chrysalis. The insect unfolds its wings
and pumps blood and air into then. It spreads out the wings until they become dry and harder.
The beautiful butterfly then flies to get nectar from flowers. Most butterflies live only for one or
two weeks.
