When we talked about the space,we know the universe means the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars and so on in space. Many of the stars are so far away that we can’t see them.
Through our geography lessons, we know the earth (1)goes around the sun, and the moon goes around the earth.
We have day and night because the earth keeps moving all the time. Just because the moon is closer to the earth than the sun, it looks much bigger than the sun.(2)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.(3)But in fact the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon.
(4)在宇宙中仍然有许多其他的行星。But of all these planets, only on the earth there are living things. People on the earth have studied the space all the time. They’ve sent many spaceships into the space many times. On November 3 and 14, 2011, Chinese scientists let Shenzhou Ⅷ successfully dock with(对接) the Tiangong Ⅰ twice. This is one of the greatest events in the history of China’s space.

Humans have always been interested in the moon. About 2, 000 years ago, scientists had already known that the moon moves around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. In old times, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully at night.
When scientists could use telescopes (望远镜) to study the moon more closely, they found the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that was caught in the earth’s gravity millions of years ago.
In 1969, moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again, new ideas were needed for this new study.
After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of the earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 million years ago, something that was about the size of Mars hit the earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.
Humans’ steps of exploring the moon will never stop. In the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we’ll still show an interest in it.

When humans began to search the skies, they saw a lot of things. In the universe, the earth seemed to be like a small bit of dust (尘埃). It is only a small planet, and travels around the sun. The sun, together with its planets, travels in the Milky Way, our Galaxy. The Milky Way has over one hundred billion stars like the sun, and is one of about a hundred billion galaxies in the universe. Because the space is so great, it is difficult to work out how far away a star is. Instead of kilometres, we have light years. A light year means the distance light travels in one year. Our nearest neighbour Galaxy is more than 2,500,000 light years away from the earth.

【推荐3】Hey! The people of the earth. Can you hear this radio message? Do not be afraid! We come in peace from another planet— and why not? We are your cousins. We are men, as you are. We have been here before.
You will see a huge spaceship, a few hours from now. We are flying towards the solar system (太阳系) almost as fast as this radio message. Your sun is already in sight. Our ancestors (祖先) and yours shared the sun ten million years ago. I’m sure you have forgotten your history while we have remembered ours.
Our ancestors lived on the Earth when dinosaurs were dying. Sadly, they could hardly save the beasts. Your planet was very warm then. Our ancestors believed it would make a nice home for them.
They were wrong. Though we were masters of space, we knew so little about the Earth.
For millions of summers — there were no winters in those ancient days — the Earth had rapid (飞速的) development. It took about thirty years to fly from one planet to another, so our ancestors seldom travelled in space. But they never felt lonely. They kept in touch with their relatives and friends on other planets. Three or four times every century, starships would call and bring them space news.
But two million years ago, the Earth began to change. The temperatures fell quickly. The ground was covered with snow and ice. At that time, however, our ancestors knew little about that. Those who had called the Earth their home believed there was just a strange disease spreading on the earth. The disease wouldn’t cause death to them, but it would bring much pain and do harm to men’s health.

Have you ever thought about how many different things you like? You may like pets, parties, presents, foods, and even superheroes! Our world is full of so many things to like!
Do you ever wonder (琢磨) why you like certain animals or why you like to do certain things? You may not think about it often, but you may learn something about yourself if you think twice. Our personality (性格) helps form what we like and dislike. Sometimes the things we like just come naturally to us. For example, who’s your favorite superhero? You probably like that character (人物) for reasons that are all your own. You may, not have even thought about why you like that superhero...you just do.
As you learn more and do more, you may find out that there are more and more things you like. That’s a good thing!
Do your friends like the same things that you do? Maybe you and your friends like different things. But it’s OK.

Have you ever compared your handwriting with your friends’ to see how different it is? Like fingerprints, no two people share the same handwriting. Your handwriting can actually say a lot about what kind of person you are. Try writing out a sentence: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Then see what your handwriting says about you.
Size of your handwriting
Did you know that the size of your handwriting can represent the level of your self-respect and self-awareness(自我意识)? Large handwriting may show that you’re easy to get along with and you want to be noticed by others. On the other hand, small handwriting may mean that you’re shy and careful, and always pay attention to details. Medium-sized handwriting shows that you can get used to a new environment easily.
Spacing between words
Do you leave a large space between your words when you write? According to a study, the distance between two words can show how close or how far you feel towards others. If you write with wide spacing between your words, it may mean that you enjoy your freedom. On the other hand, people leaving narrow spacing between words may like staying with others.
Slant(倾斜) of the words
Did you know that the slant in your handwriting can tell how you treat people and things around you? Slanting to the right means you welcome or accept new ideas easily. And you consider your friends and family are more important than anything else. While slanting to the left may show that you think deeply about your own thoughts, feelings or behaviors. And you like to work behind the scenes better. If you write without slanting at all, you may be practical.
Although the handwriting analyses(分析) are not always true, we can read them for fun. What matters most is you should write carefully.

【推荐3】Earth Day has been marked on 22 April every year since its beginning in 1970. This year, organizers are calling for three days of climate action, from 20 to 22 April, but expect the whole week running up to Earth Day-sometimes called Earth week-to be a time when environmental problems take centre stage.
Earth Day is an annual (每年的) event designed to pay attention to the serious environmental problems we’re facing, from the climate problems to air pollution and forest cutting. Earth Day is celebrated to call for people around the world to protect the environment.
The first Earth Day was in 1970, which highlighted (强调) the importance of clean air and clean water. And it became an international movement in 1990.
This year’s theme is Protect Our Earth. It focuses not only on the need to reduce our influence on the planet as we recover from the effects of Covid-19, but also how we can play a role in repairing the damage we’ve done. We should look at natural processes, green technologies, and creative thinking that can make a lasting influence to protect our earth.
How can you take part in the Earth Day activities? Organizers help to organize activities around the world each year. You can plant a tree, reduce our carbon footprint, use less plastic, use less water and electricity or even eat less meat. We can all work together to make our world a little greener.
The future of our planet depends on our efforts. What we should do is to make every day Earth Day.

I remember the first time I suggested screen-free days in our school to some of our student leaders. Jokingly, I said to the group, “What do you think if we go a week without using our laptops or smartphones?”
They laughed, and one of them said, “No way, Mr. White. They would be too much.” According to a survey we did, most students in our school spend about six hours a day on screens. 3. Many of my students start their day by checking their smartphones. I often see them looking at their phones when getting off the bus or at parents’ drop-off, they can’t use their own “screens” at school. They usually work on computers at school for at least two hours during the day.
It’s clear that our students spend a lot of time on screens. We do see the benefits of technology. However, we teachers also want to make sure that students have balanced learning and social experiences away from their screens. That’s why we have come up with the idea of screen-free days.
During the course of the year, we have built in several screen-free days that require us to make different plans for our students about how they will communicate with one another and the world around them without “screens”. For some teachers, this means bringing back a valuable lesson plan that has been put off for some time because it is “out of date”. Others have designed something completely new. In these activities, students socialize without smartphones and have face-to-face communication without checking on “likes” they’ve got online.
After our first screen-free day, students mentioned that they were surprised they enjoyed it. Finding ways to help our students connect with one another is important. 4. While technology is already part of our world, it shouldn’t play such an important role in a learner’s life.

Everyone needs a break, and holidays are a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book. Summer vacation is coming so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English literature to take on a long train journey while you’re hanging out with the family.
If you’re at the beginner level, there are two choices: reading a children’s book or reading a book that you’ve read in Chinese translation. This will help you understand better, since you’ve already known the story. If you’re at the middle level, popular books like novels and mysteries are good choices, as they are attractive enough to increase the possibility of your understanding of the book. For top readers, science books, classical books or prize winners, such as Nobel, Pulitzer are good choices.
The most important thing is to pick a book that you’re really interested in. When I pick up a new book in Chinese, the first few pages are always really hard to get through, as I have to get used to the way the writer uses the language. But after that, things get a lot easier, especially if I like the story.
Another great way to help you read in the holiday is to find a friend who’s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve and talk about the book with each other by QQ or e-mail. I’m doing that with my friend Laura. We’ve done this since we were classmates in Chinese at college.
Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; and if you like horror, Stephen King’s novels are always unusual and fun. But really you should just find a topic or writer that you’re interested in, and the rest will go from there. Happy reading!
