Niagara Falls is one of the most famous waterfalls in the world. It lies on the border between the United States and Canada, made up of three main parts: the American Falls, the Bridal Veil Falls, and the Horseshoe Falls. The Horseshoe Falls is the largest and most spectacular, with water falling from a height of about 56 metres.
Every minute, millions of litres of water rush down the falls, making a loud noise that can be heard from far away. When the sun shines, beautiful rainbows often appear over the mist, creating a magical scene. In winter, the falls may partly freeze, turning into an icy wonderland with huge ice pillars.

Ⅵ.阅读短文,选择正确答案。
The Amazon Rainforest, known as "the lungs of the earth", is the largest tropical rainforest in the world. It is located in northern South America. It covers eight countries, including Brazil, Peru, and Colombia, forming a vast ecological network across the continent. This forest is home to millions of plant and animal species, including colourful macaws, playful monkeys, and mysterious jaguars. Trees here, like the giant kapok, can grow over 50 metres tall.
The Amazon also plays a key role in our planet's health. It produces about 20% of the world's oxygen through photosynthesis and stores huge amounts of carbon dioxide, helping to fight climate change. The Amazon River, flowing through the forest, is the world's largest river by water volume, nourishing countless lives along its banks.
However, the rainforest is facing serious threats. Deforestation for farming and logging has destroyed large areas, and wildfires often break out in the dry season. Protecting the Amazon is not just about saving trees and animals—it's about preserving our only home. Every action, like reducing paper waste or supporting sustainable products, can make a difference.
