（见艺术）恐龙在人类出现之前，恐龙已在地球上生活了六千多万年。他们遍布在地球的每个角落。有些恐龙和鸡一样小，有些则有十头象那么大。有一些甚至会飞。许多恐龙以植物为食。然而，有些恐龙喜欢吃肉。恐龙在地球上生存了超过了15千万年。然后，突然间，它们都灭绝了。没有人知道是为什么。然而，我们可以通过它们的化石来了解它们。（见地球的历史）Dinosaurs恐龙DinosaurslivedonEarthmorethan60millionyearsbeforehumanbeings.在人类出现之前，恐龙已在地球上生活了六千多万年。TheylivedeverywhereonEarth.他们遍布在地球的每个角落。Somedinosaurswereassmallaschickens.Otherswereasbigastenelephants.Somecouldevenfly.有些恐龙和鸡一样小，有些则有十头象那么大。有一些甚至会飞。Manydinosaursateplants.However,somedinosaurslikedtoeatmeat.许多恐龙以植物为食。然而，有些恐龙喜欢吃肉。DinosaurslivedonEarthformorethan150millionyears.恐龙在地球上生存了超过了15千万年。Then,suddenly,theyalldiedout.Nobodyknowswhy.然后，突然间，它们都灭绝了。没有人知道是为什么。However,wecanlearnaboutthemfromtheirfossils.(SeeEarthhistory)然而，我们可以通过它们的化石来了解它们。（见地球的历史）Lookitup!来查查书！Herearetwoarticlesfromanencyclopaedia.这里有两篇摘选自百科全书的文章。DaVinci,Leona
