A VISIT TO THE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
Last Saturday afternoon,
Wei Hua and her class mates were visiting the Museum of Natural History.
They were very interested in dinosaurs.
Can we see dinosaurs here?"Wei Huaasked Miss Li,their guide.
"Yes,of course.there is an underground Dinosaur World.
There you can see the fossils of may kinds of dinosaurs.
Shall we go to visit the dinosaurs first?"
"Yes!Let's go!"All the students cheered. Then they went to the Dinosaur World.
"Oh,look!These must be dinosaur eggs.They are so big!"Lucy shouted.
"Yes,These eggs were found in the Gebi Desert by group of scientists in the 1920s."Miss Li said.
"so there eggs were lad long long ago by dinosaurs!" Lily said.
Miss Li smiled,"There eggs were laid about 95 million years age."
"95 million years ago?
That means dinosaurs lived long before human beings appeared!
But we can't see any dinosaurs today.That's a pity!"said Lin Tao.
"Yes.Dinosaurs lived on the earth for more than 150 million years,
and then disappeared about 65 million years ago.
Scientists try to explain their disappearance ,n
but they've got more questions than answers,"said Miss Li.
"and now there is a very special dinosaur on display.It was discoveered in Liaoning Province.
I say it is special because the dinosaur was covered with feathers!"
"With feathers?Like birds?"The students could not believe their ears.
"Look !"Miss Li showed them a picture of the feathered dinosaur,"you see,it looks like a abig bird.
Some scientists believe that dinosaurs have not disappeared,but they have become birds."
"That's very interesting.
I want to be a scientist in the future and study dinosaurs!"said Song Dan.
"good.Then we can see many dinosaurs discovered by you in the museum,"
said Miss Li,and all the students laughed.
