An Environmental Engineer
Stephen martinez is an environmental engineer.
He works in many places, both inside and outside. He
works for companies and the government. Today he is
looking for dangerous gas and other toxic subtances.
Sometimes they have no taste or smell, but they can
poison people, animals, or plants. He is testing the
dirt, air and water near a large factory. He is digging
a hole. He is using special tools to collect samples.
Many countries need environmental engineers. In the
modern world, more governments are paying for
cleaner environment. They do not want factories to
pollute the earth, air or the water. They also want
factories to store toxic substances in a safe way.

Now Stephen Martinez is covering the


holes and finishing the tests. He is

The Polynesians
The Polynesians were probably the best explorers in
the history of the world. They traveled thousands of
kilometers across the Pacific Ocean in large double
canoes. They could look at the stars and know which
way to go. They also understood the wind and ocean
currents. They made maps of the stars and ocean
currents. They made these maps out of sticks and
shells.
About four thousand years ago a group of people
lived in Southern China. They were a mixture of
white, black, and Mongol people. When the Chinese
moved farther and farther into the South, these
people needed to find safer homes.
The Polynesians
Slowly these Polynesians left China in their double
canoes and started toward the southeast. They took
animals and plants with them. A group of people
might arrive at an island and stay there until they
have children, grandchildren, and great
grandchildren. Then a few families might start
traveling again. Some canoes went one way and
some another. It took hundreds of years for them to
reach all of the islands in Polynesia.
The Polynesian double canoe is one of the greatest
inventions in history. The Polynesians were among
the greatest sailors in history. They understood how
to sail by the stars, wind, and ocean currents. This
made them great explorers.

A Giraffe in Central Asia
Tamerlane (1336-1405) was a very strong Mongol
leader. He and his soldiers fought until Tamerlane
became the ruler of all Central Asia. Other countries
wanted to make friend with Tamerlane. It was safer
to be friends than enemies.
Ambassadors from other countries took gifts to
Tamerlane. They took beautiful cloth, jewelry, gold
(Au), and silver (Ag). They often took something
unusual for gift too.
In 1404, near the end of Tamerlane's life, an
Egyptian ambassador arrived in Samarkand. This
was here where Tamerlane lived. The ambassador
and his men traveled on horses and camels. They
brought a giraffe from Africa as a gift.
A Giraffe in Central Asia
Egyptian horses and camels were
used to walking in the desert. They did it
all the time. A giraffe is not used to the
desert. But, this giraffe walked 5,000
kilometers from Cairo to Samarkand.
We know about ambassador's gift
because several people wrote about it.
No one wrote that Tamerlane liked it.
However, we suppose that he was very
pleased to have this starnge African
animal in Central Asia.

The European Raja of
Sarawak

1. Where is Sarawak?
2. Is Sarawak near Europe?
3. What do they call the leader of Sarawak?
The European Raja of Sarawak
James Brooke (1803-1868) was born in India.
However, he was British, not Indian. India was a
British colony at that time, and James' father was an
official in the colonial government.
James attended school in England, and then he went
into the army. He was injured in a war in Burma, so
he left the army. He bought a boat and explored the
islands off the coast of Asia.
Sarawak is on one of these islands. The name of the
island is Kalimantan. Today most of Kalimantan
belongs to Indonesia. While Mr. Brooke was
travelling in Asia, there were problems in Sarawak.
Some of the people did not like their leader, the raja,
so they started against him. The fighting continued
and the raja couldn't stopped. Finally he asked Mr.
Brooke to help.
Mr. Brooke asked the British navy to help him. They
soon defeated the raja's enemy. When the war was
over, the raja asked Mr. Brooke to become the ruler of
Sarawak. He bacame the raja. It was very unusual to
have a European raja in Asia.
He was a good ruler. He organized a strong
government, and there was no more fighting. Some of
the people in the jungle were head hunters. They
killed people and kept their heads. He made them
stop. After Jame Brooke's dead, his son became raja.
Today Sarawak is part of Malaysia. Malaysia is an
independent country instead of a British colony.
Sarawak has a governor, but he is not British. There
are no more British rulers in Sarawak or Malaysia.
