中国的国旗是五星红旗,上面有5颗金色的星星。Look at the national flag of the US.
How many stars are there on it? One, two... oh, fifty stars all together.
Do you know this beautiful bird? Its name is bald eagle.
也就是美国秃鹰。其实它一点儿也不秃,只不过头顶长了白毛而已。所以,人们又叫它白头海雕。It is the national bird of the US. 美国国徽上还有它的身影呢!尽管贵为国鸟,秃鹰却差点绝种,是不是很荒唐啊!
