    In the universe, as we know, there is the sun, the moon, the earth and a good many stars. Through our geography lessons, we know the earth goes round the sun, and the moon goes round the earth. We have day and night because the earth keeps turning all the time. When our part of the earth turns to the sun, it is day. When our part of the earth turns away from the sun, it is night.

    Just because the moon is closer to the earth than the sun, it looks much bigger than the sun. Big things will look smaller when they are farther, and small things also look bigger when they are nearer.

    The sun is bright enough to give out very strong light. The moon can't give any light at all, but it looks quite bright, too. Why? In fact, the light from the moon comes from the sun. The moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars. But actually(事实上)the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon. They look smaller than the moon also because they are farther away from the earth.

    There are still many other planets in the universe.

    But of all these planets, only on the earth there are living things and people can only live on the earth, too. But at 9:00 am on October 15th, 2003, Chinese pilot Yang Liwei was sent up to space. He stayed there for 21 hours. It was the first time for Chinese to get into space.

(1)、When our part of the earth turns away from the sun, the other part of the earth is             .
A、night B、day C、evening D、Sunday
(2)、When did the pilot from our country return to the earth?
A、On November 15th, 2002. B、On October 16th, 2003. C、On May 15th, 2004. D、On October 15th, 2003.
(3)、Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A、The moon goes round the earth, and it can't give out any light at all. B、The moon goes round the sun, and its light is from the sun. C、The earth moves round the moon, and people can live only on the earth. D、Of all the planets, only the earth moves round the sun.

    Maybe a lot of thin people will be worried about their health if the inside fat matters.

    Some doctors now think that the inside fat around important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the outside fat which can be noticed more easily.

    "Being thin doesn't surely mean you are not fat," said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have tested nearly 800 people with MRI to create "fat maps" showing where people store fat.

    According to the result, people who keep their weight through the food they usually eat rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits (堆积物) of inside fat, even if they are thin.

   Even people with normal Body Mass Index (体重指数) scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 per cent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of inside fat. Men were nearly 60 per cent.

    According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the stomach first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.

    Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of inside fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes (糖尿病). They want to prove that inside fat does harm to the body's communication systems.

    The good news is that inside fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your eating habits. "If you want to be healthy, there is no other way. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle," Bell said.

Imagine (想象) walking into a movie theater without being greeted by the smell of popcorn. It's hard to believe, isn't it? For many people, popcorn goes hand in hand with movies. They can't have one without the other. But 1  did this happen?

The 2  between the two is younger than you may think. In the mid-1800s, popcorn was already a popular snack in America. Vendors sold it on the 3  . People, especially kids, loved this street food. In the early 1900s, vendors started to sell popcorn 4  movie theaters.

However, theater owners didn't like popcorn. They believed it would make the experience of watching a movie 5  enjoyable. Eating it would make too much noise during the silent movies.

Later, when movies added sound, the 6  noise problem went away. More and more people went to the movies. Some of them even secretly(秘密地) took popcorn into the theaters. Later, more movie theaters 7  . Some of them agreed people to eat popcorn while they were watching movies.

In the 1930s, the theater owners found that people didn't need to buy popcorn from street vendors. Because popcorn was 8  to make, they could make and sell it themselves. They did that and the smell of popcorn drew more people to their theaters. The 9  made a lot of money, and people enjoyed themselves at the movies.

Today, popcorn is still an important part of the movie-going experience. Roles, a man who once ate three bags of popcorn, said, "People come to theaters sometimes just for the 10 . They don't even care what is playing!"

What a cold winter! How wonderful it would be if there were a fire! Fire keeps us warm. But fire is also very dangerous, and can kill us. November 9th is National Fire Safety Day. It's a time for us to learn a lot more about fire, especially what to do if we are caught in a fire. 

Call 119.

Never try to put out a fire by yourself, even if it is a very small one. Get help from your parents or call 119. Tell 119 where you are and what is on fire. Listen to 119's instructions. 

Keep down close to the floor. 

If there is a lot of smoke in your room, remember to keep down close to the floor. There is less smoke down there, so it's easier to breathe (呼吸) and see where you are going. If you don't, the smoke may kill you before the fire does. 

Don't use the elevator (电梯).

Never use the elevator during a fire. Always use the stairs (楼梯). An elevator may stop at the floor where the fire is burning. It may also go wrong and keep you inside. 

Don't go back.

Never go back into a burning building. Even if you have left your pet or favorite toy inside, do not go back for it. Don't worry about your pets. Animals have a very good sense (感觉) of smell. They often get out of the building before people.

Green Energy for Today and Tomorrow

Did you know that most of the energy we use comes from the sun? For example, the sun helps plants to grow. Plants that grew millions of years ago turned into coal, oil, and natural gas(天然气). We call these fossil fuels(化石燃料).

However, fossil fuels cause pollution. This is bad for the Earth. Fossil fuels are also nonrenewable. Some day they will be gone. So, scientists want people to use green energy.

Why is green energy important? First, it is clean. It doesn't hurt the Earth. Next, it is renewable. It won't run out. Green energy gives us almost 25% of the electricity we use today.

What are the main sources(来源) of green energy?

Water Power

Water power uses moving water in rivers and dams(堤坝). Moving water has energy. Water power makes 

16.6% of the electricity we use.

Wind Power

Is wind power new? No, it isn't. People used wind power many years ago. Wind power makes 4% of the electricity we use.

Solar Power

Solar power comes from sunlight. The sun shines on solar panels(太阳能电池板), and electricity is made. Solar power is now as cheap as some fossil fuels. It makes 

1.5% of the electricity we use.

Biomass energy(生物质能)

Biomass energy is energy that we get from plants around us. For example, dead wood or grass is burned in power stations. This makes electricity. Biomass energy is green energy because we plant new trees or crops(庄稼) after we use it. Biomass energy makes 2% of the electricity we use.

New Green Energy

The ocean rises and falls each day. This moving water can make electricity. We call it tide power. There is also heat under the Earth's surface. Scientists can use this heat for energy, which is called heat power. We may find other sources of green energy in the future.

Some day, green energy could make 100% of the electricity we use. That's good news for the Earth!
