You can certainly see sunrise and sunset from the moon surface,  1  you can't see them as  2  as you do from the earth.

Here on  3  earth, our planet's rotation(自转) carries us  4 daylight to darkness. That's true on the moon as well. But the moon's spin(旋转) is  5  slower than the earth's. An earth day lasts twenty-four  6  . A lunar day lasts about one earth month. That means  7 about two weeks between each sunrise and sunset on the moon.

    On the earth, when you watch sunset, you can see colored light for a while after the sun disappears. But if you watch sunset on the moon, you'll find it's  8  as midnight as soon as the sun  9 , because the moon doesn't have an atmosphere(大气层). And  10  , sunrise on the moon will come just as suddenly.

    Today, I am very happy to have a meeting with you. At the meeting we will talk about the 1 we have these days. We all know the problems of 2 and the objects falling from windows are getting worse. We have received lots of letters about such problems. So   3 is time for possible ways to work out these problems.

    Some dog owners don't take care of their dogs well enough, and they let their dogs make mess on the roads and in gardens. This makes the environment 4. I would like to tell the dog owners that their behavior is too b ad, and at the same time they are making people 5 unhappy. We should keep the environment 6.

    It is reported that some people 7 rubbish out of the windows. It is dangerous because falling objects 8 hurt others. It is against the law. We should put up a notice to teach people not to do so. If it is found, we will record the names and address of those people who throw objects. Then, a warning will be given and 9 will be punished by law.

    A safe and comfortable living environment is important to us. 10 we try our best to care for our community, it will be a good place to live in. Thank you for your coming.

    The lion is one of the most fierce (凶猛的) animals in the world. Lions can be1 in Africa and India. Lions in Africa can live without water for about one month. Lions are also popular animals in the2 . Almost every zoo around the world has a few lions. It is very3 for people to tell male and female lions from each other. You can judge (判断) simply by their appearance. A male lion has mane while female lions do not have. Male lions are 4than female lions. A male lion usually weighs about 200 kilograms which is always heavier than a female lion. Both male and female lions have very 5 teeth. They can break the backs of other animals 6 Lions feed on other animals and one lion usually kills between ten and twenty large animals each year for 7it's unusual for lions to kill people. However, in 1898 two lions 8and ate over one hundred people in Kenya before they were shot by a British man named Patterson. This 9 became the subject(主题) of a 1996 Hollywood movie called The Ghost and the Darkness. Now the Indian lions are endangered. It's really necessary for us to 10 the animals, or we won't see them again. Animals are our friends. It is our obligation to protect them.

    It's March 12^th. Li Li and Lin Tao are digging on a hill nor far from their school. In China, people across the country plant trees1on this day.

    The idea of planting trees was first put forward in 1911 by Sun Zhongshan, the great2 in China's history. He said more trees were needed as a3against flood(洪水)and drought. In 1915, April 5^th was named as Tree Planting Day. Then, in 1979, the day4to March 12^th, to 5the date on which Sun Zhongshan died.

    "Everyone has heard of the Great Wall of China," says Li Li. "But have you heard of the Green Wall of China? That's the biggest tree planting 6 of all. "The Gobi Desert in the north of China was 7every year. So in 1978, a tree planting project was started to 8 Gobi spreading. The government and local farmers have been planting millions of trees to build a great green "wall" along the edge of the desert.

    "Tree planting has become a tradition in China now," says Lin Tao. "Almost everyone does it on March 12th. Many people also plant a tree on a 9 day. My parents planted a tree when started school. And my cousin planted 10 on his wedding (婚礼) day. We do it for the environment and for ourselves."

    Researcher Robert Engelman from Population Action International says by the year 2025 about 3000 million people may lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have serious water problems. The need for water keeps increasing.

    Mr Engelman says the population in these countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world. The report says lack of water in the future may result in(导致)several problems. It may even increase1problems. Lack of water often means drinking water isn't safe. Mr Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, Lack of water may also2more international con flint(冲突), Countries may have to compete for water in the future. Some countries, such as Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. And the report says lack of water would affect(影响)the ability of developing to improve their economies. This is3new industries(工业)offer need a large amount of water when they are beginning.

    The Population Action International study gives several solutions4the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose.5way is to teach people to be careful and not to waste water. A third way is to use less water of agriculture, The6also says long-term(长期的)ways of dealing with the water problem must include controls on population growth.
