We take food, clothing, a knife, and things for cooking and eating. We take things to keep us away from insect（昆虫) and the sun. Then we put everything into the car and we drive to the woods. We look for a place for campers（露营者）and we look for a good place for our tent(帐篷). The place should have a lot of moving air. This will keep some insects away. High land with water on both sides of it is good. Then we put up our tent. We put everything into the tent, and we are ready for fun. We can swim in the lake, walk in the woods,climb a mountain, row a boat, or go fishing.In the evening we come back to the tent. We build a big fire because it can keep the insects away. We sit around the fire and talk. We may tell interesting stories or we may sing songs.At night we lie down on the grass. We can look up at the stars. It is a busy day, so we try to go to sleep early.Everything is dark. Everything is quiet. We hope we won’t hear music from the radio in the next tent. We hope it won’t rain.( ) 1.

Animals need it, too. Most of the salt in our country comes from the sea. People dig(挖) very big pools and let sea water in. When the sun dries up the water, people can get salt from the ground. The salt is white, clean and beautiful.There are a lot of salt wells (井) in Sichuan. A salt well is much like a water well. People bring the water up to the ground and then dry it in big jars over fire. In this way, they get salt.We can also get salt from salt mines（矿）. A salt mine may be found under the ground. Some years ago, people in Jiangxi found a big mine and opened it. People there don’t need salt from other places. In the northwest of our country there are many salt lakes. Some of them are very big. The salt even in a big lake will be enough for our people for centuries(世纪).( ) 6.
