Many countries around the world have no caves This is not because there are no hills or mountains in those places Some of the world's biggest mountains have no caves because they are not made of the right sort of stone But the low, limestone hills of the north of England and the south of France are full of interesting caves
For hundreds of years, people have enjoyed finding caves and going inside them This sport is called "caving", and the people who do it are called "cavers Cave exploration began in Europe and even today most cavers come from there That is why we know so much about European caves But in many other parts of the world there are hundreds of caves which few people have ever visited For example, there are many caves in Russia and Afganistan, in Albania and China, but not many cavers in those countries and it is often very difficult for foreign cavers to get permission to visit

Maybe you recycle cans, glass, paper and metal Did you know that nature recycles, too? One of the things nature recycles is water Water goes from the ocean, lakes and rivers into the air Water falls from the air as rain or snow Rain and snow eventually find their way back to the ocean Nature’s recycling process for water is called the water cycle The water cycle has four stages: storage, evaporation, precipitation and run-off Water on Earth gets stored in oceans, lakes, rivers, ice and even underground Water goes from storage into the atmosphere by a process called evaporation When water
evaporates, it changes from a liquid into a gas, called water vapor Water vapor goes up into the atmosphere Water returns toEarth as precipitation in rain or snow by changing into drops of water when the air gets cold enough Clouds are collections
of water droplets Most precipitation falls into the oceans and goes right back into storage
Water that falls on land always flows from higher places to lower ones - This flow is called run-off Water from land flows into streams Streams join together to make rivers and eventually the water flows into storage in the ocean, then the water cycle starts all over again

Early in the 18th century, sailors from the Bristish navy came across this exotic sauce on voyages to Malaysia and Singapore and brought samples of it back to England on return voyages English chefs tried to recreate the sauce but were unable to do exactly because key ingredients were unknown or unavailable in England; chefs ended up substituting ingredients such as mushrooms and walnuts in an attempt to recreate the special taste of the original Asian sauce Variations of this sauce became quite the rage in the 18th century England, appearing in a number of recipe books and features as an exotic addition
to menus from the period
The English version did not contain tomatoes, and it was not until the end of the 18th century that tomatoes became a main ingredients in the ketchup of the United States It is quite notable that tomatoes were added to the sauce and that tomatoes had previously been considered quite dangerous to health That tomato had been cultivated by the Aztecs, who had called it
Trang 14tomalt; however, early botanists had recognized that tomato was a member of the Solanecaea family, wich does include a number of poisonous plant The leaves of the tomato plant are poisonous, though of course the fruit is not
Thomas Jefferson, who cultivated the tomato in his gardens at Monticello and served dishes containing tomatoes at lavish feasts, often receive credit for changing the reputation of the tomato Soon after Jefferso had introduced the tomato to
American society, recipes combining the new fashinonabe tomato with the equally fashionable and exotic sauce known as ketchap began to appear By the middle of the 19th century, both of the tomato and tomato ketchup were stables of the American kitchen
Tomato ketchup,popular though it was,was quite time-consuming to prepare In 1876,the first mass-produced tomato
ketchup, a product of German-American Henry Heizn,went on sale and achieved immediate success From tomato ketchup, Heizn branched out into a number of other products, including various sauces, pickles, and relishes
