　　例句：

　　常识补充：
　　Hot air balloons can reach amazing heights - the world record is over 21,000 metres! At such height, it's difficult to breathe, so oxygen tanks and masks are needed by anyone travelling above 5,000 metres. Of course anyone ballooning at so high will also need to wrap up warm!
　　热气球能飞得很高很高，世界纪录是超过21000米！在这么高的高度，人要呼吸是很困难的，所以超过5000米的高度， 在热气球上的人就需要氧气瓶和氧气面罩了。当然在高空行驶，一定要注意保暖哦！
