Copernicus was an astronomer(天文学家). He studied the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(planets/weather) and the stars. He found out that the earth {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (walks/goes) around the sun. He put his thought into a book, but he hid the book. Nobody could read it {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (before/after) Copernicus died.

    Many years later, Galileo {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (read/watched) the book and believed that thought. Galileo said that the earth was moving around the sun. This made lots of people {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (happy/angry) because they thought the earth must be the center of the universe. Galileo got into trouble and he had to say that he was {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(brave/wrong), but Galileo knew he was right.

    Galileo watched the moon carefully through his telescope(望远镜). He {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(invented/saw) some hills there. He also saw {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (millions/millions of) stars in the universe. In 1673 his eyes became weak, and then he couldn't see {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(anything/nothing) through his telescope.

   Galileo died in 1642 and the world lost a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (funny/great) man. But in the same year, another great scientist Newton was born in England.

    Most people would get a doll or a toy from their parents when they were young. Sometimes they might like it {#blank#}1{#/blank#} much that they wanted more of it. Then they were in their way to become a real collector. Many collectors, young and old, start out in the same way: Their parents give them a toy, and another one, and another one, until the shelf is full {#blank#}2{#/blank#} all kinds of toys. Other collectors begin collecting when their parents or grandparents pass down {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (they) own collections. However they start, collectors are people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} take their interests to a whole new level.

    Here are some reasons why collecting is so cool. One of many benefits you can get from collecting things {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) just having as much fun with it as possible. Nothing can be more exciting than seeing your collection arranged {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (careful) on a shelf or in albums, ready for the world {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (see). There is also that excitement from waiting for a new toy or book. Another good thing about {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (collect) is that you get to learn so much as well. Many collectors learn a lot about the things they collect and become experts. An even cooler thing about having your own collection is that it can {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (sell) at a high price after a few years if it's a very special one.

    Collecting items is not only {#blank#}10{#/blank#} fun pastime but also a way to earn money. If you do not know how to begin your collection, ask your mum or dad for help, or visit a museum to find something that may interest you.
