Features: "Grub" is a premium offering jointly brought to by the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press and Oxford University Press. In English, "Grub" is quite an adorable image. Imagine such a "Grub" completely immersed in books, tirelessly chewing on letters. Now, this "Grub" has crossed the seas and landed gently in the hands of Chinese English learners. "Grub" will first give you a letter, even if you currently only have a few hundred words, you can easily read world-class works. "Grub" will also remind you constantly with its delicate chirping: to persevere in reading, to read widely and richly. By the time you finish the last book in the series, you might suddenly realize: you have transformed like a caterpillar into a butterfly, ready to take flight!
The sun is a huge, burning ball of fire. Without the light and heat from the sun, we cannot survive on this planet Earth. Around this planet is the ozone layer, which protects us from the harm of the sun's fire. But what would happen if the ozone layer broke? There are already small holes in the ozone layer, and some say those holes will continue to grow—until one day there is nothing between us and the fire of the sun.
The event takes place in the year 2222. Earthlings created the AOL—Artificial Ozone Layer. The beautiful Earth gained another 1,000 years of life. Trees began to sprout, it rained, and rivers filled with water. But now it is the year 2522, and the artificial ozone layer has broken. The young forests began to wither, and the rivers gradually dried up. Kai and Rila saw this dangerous situation from their spaceship, but what could they do? Their friends lived in the tribe under the moon, but the journey was too far, and the Earth leader, Gao, refused to listen to their command.
