| 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.
