Mona Island is an amazing place to take a vacation. Some of the animals living there can’t be found anywhere else in the world. There are beautiful beaches and caves to explore. The sea around the island has colorful fishes. Why is Mona Island unusual? Mona Island is very small. The government of Puerto Rico takes care of the island and has made it a natural reserve. That means the island’s animals and plants are protected from being harmed by people. Mona Island is different from most places because people are not allowed to live there. Only a few park rangers（公園管理員）are able to stay. The park rangers’ job is to keep Mona Island safe and beautiful. They insist that rules are followed. One rule is that only 100 people at a time can visit the island. That way, the park rangers can make sure the land and animals remain safe. What is there to See on Mona Island? One thing that most people enjoy is getting to see the Mona Island iguana(美洲熱帶大蜥蜴). This type of reptile(爬行動物) lives only on Mona Island. Almost 2,000 of these iguanas live on Mona Island. People also come to the island to get a close-up view of many kinds of fish and other sea life. They can swim far below the surface. They use special equipment to be able to breathe underwater. The water is almost transparent. Through the clear water, divers can see the bright colors of the fish. Visitors can also explore caves. Some of the caves even have paintings and drawings on the walls. This artwork was made by the Arawak and Taíno Indians who lived on the island hundreds of years ago. After a full day of fun activities, visitors can settle in, listen to the night sounds, and view the stars in the huge sky.

China successfully launched its new heavy-lift carrier rocket（重型運載火箭） Long March V at 8:43 p.m. Beijing time, on Nov. 3, 2016. It is the second launch from the Wenchang Launch Center. The rocket, which looked much “fatter” than other Long March rockets, was launched from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in south China's Hainan Province. About 30 minutes later, it was successfully sent into an orbit（軌道）about 2,000 km above the earth. The major purposes of the task are to check the design and performance of the new rocket and test the rocket's flight program. The successful launch has made China from a major player in space to a major power in space. The successful launch shows that China has become a real space power in the world. The Long March V is a large, two-stage（二級的）rocket and one of China's largest carrier rockets. Its carrying capacity is about 2.5 times that of the present Long March rockets, which is up to 25 tons. The rocket is about 57 metres long. It has eight liquid oxygen rocket engines in four boosters（助推器）, two liquid oxygen engines in the first stage and two small liquid oxygen engines in the second stage.

If you want to see a thing well, touching can help you to “see” it better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass ball is. When you learn all these about the ball, you really see it well. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the differences between two different coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music？They must like to feel the sounds of music. All children soon learn what “Don't touch！” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things that we might buy. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or hard floor. All feel different under your feet.

Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch！” There you can feel everything on show. There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body and the air on your skin. If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!
