We have always been interested in the moon. 2000 years ago people already knew it moved around the
earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the moon
was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.
When scientists could use telescopes to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They
could see 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 had been caught in the earth"s
gravity (引力) millions of years earlier.
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 information.
After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of Earth. They believe very
early in its history, maybe 4 million years ago, something about the size of Mars hit Earth. This sent billions
of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the
moon. In the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it. |

In a classroom in any countries, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she teaches
something behind-the culture (文化) of the country.
In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and
they pay much attention to personal ideas, Teachers try to make each student special. Students to do not have
to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves, There is often discussion
in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages personal
thought (思想). The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer and not only to get the correct answer.
In most Asian countries, people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason. The
education there pays more attention to group goals than personal ideas; Children in China and Japan often work
together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the ways of teaching are often very traditional.
The teacher says, and the students listen, There is not much discussion. Instead, the students repeat (重复)
rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind.
In many ways these differences come form different educational ideas. In Western countries teachers are
taught to help students to learn. They make is easier for the students to learn by themselves. In some Asian
countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students. |

Do you know kind words and light music (轻音乐) have something to do with plants?
Many people talk to their plants. Many people play music to their plants. And many people try very hard
to protect (保护) their plants from loud noises, strong lights, and unpleasant (讨厌的) smells (气味).
That"s not all. Some people are very careful (小心的) about what they say or do in front of plants. They
won"t talk about unpleasant things. They won"t beat (拍打) a fly (苍蝇) near their plants.

Can you hurt a plant"s feelings? Do plants have feelings? Professor Backster thinks so. Many pupils think
so. Even a few scientists think that plants have feelings.

angry, loving or frightened (害怕). They don"t believe that a plant"s feeling can be hurt.
Who is right? Then along came the experiments (实验) of professor Backster. From his experiments,
Backster decided that plants have feelings. He said that, like people, plants need love and kindness (亲切).
They can feel worried and happy.

Robots seem very new to most people. But they have a long history. The first one was made by a Greek
inventor. You may see robots in some films. The robots in these films are stronger, faster and cleverer than
people. In real life, most robots are used in factories. They are used to do many dangerous, difficult or boring
jobs. Some people can"t look after themselves and robots are used to help them. For example, some people
can"t see, many of these people use a dog to help themselves move around. This dog is called a guide dog.
Scientists are making a robot to help them. In the future, robot dogs might take the place of these guide dogs.
Robots are also used in American hospitals. At one hospital, a robot takes meals from the kitchen to the
sick people"s rooms. It never loses its way because it has a map of the hospital in its computer system.
In the future, robots will work in space. But robots will never take the place of human help. They can,

Many people think the 1 time is spent, the more work will be done. So students have to spend the whole
2 doing school work except the three meals.
Modern students have many 3 . They love sports, computers and music. A 4 holiday can get them
away from too much school work, and they can do what they like. But still teachers do not think about it.
Because they have too much homework, they have no time to 5 themselves. Students are really tired of their
weekend homework. So they don"t do it 6 Sunday night. And there is not enough time to finish the homework
carefully. The poor weekend homework usually makes teachers 7 .
Things always get 8 without right ideas. Too much school work makes students lose interests in learning.
It is also bad for their health.
A house runs faster after a 9 . But for students only rest isn"t enough. So such a condition (状况) should
be 10 to give students both pleasure and knowledge. |
