How much do you know about the universe? In the huge universe, there is the Galaxy and many other galaxies. In the Galaxy, there is the Solar System and lots of other stars. In the Solar System, there is the sun, the earth and seven other planets. As we know, the eight planets go around their star -----the sun. In our Earth-moon System, the moon goes around the earth. And because our earth keeps turning around the sun all the time, we have day and night. 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. The sun is big enough to give out very strong light. The moon itself can’t give any light at all, but it looks quite bright, too. In fact, the light from the moon comes from the sun. Although , the moon looks much bigger and brighter than the sun and other stars, in fact, all the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon. They look smaller than the moon also because they are farther away from us. It’s clear that big things will look smaller when they are farther , and small things look bigger when they are nearer.

So far, we have traveled to many other planets in the universe. But scientists haven’t discovered any living things on any other planets. Scientists haven’t discovered any other planets with a good environment. They aren’t sure if there is any water and air for living things to live on other planets. People always ask the question: Is there anyone out space? Our scientists haven’t got a clear answer either. Some people think it will be a secret for a long time. But we believe we can solve* the problem some day.

Exploring our Solar System and the universe is a great national project to some countries. Our Chinese scientists are also trying to send spaceships with astronauts to those planets and even the universe. At 9:00 a.m. on October 15th, 2003, a Chinese astronaut called Yang Liwei was sent up to space. He stayed there for hours and got back to the earth at 6:00 a.m. the next day. It was the first time for Chinese to have a space travel.

【1】When our part of the earth turns to , it’s day.

A. the moon B. the stars C. the universe D. the sun

【2】Why does the moon look bigger than the stars?

A. Because in fact the moon is bigger than the stars.

B. Because the moon is father from the earth than the stars.

C. Because the stars is nearer our earth than the moon.

D. Because we are closer to the moon than the stars.

【3】In Para.4, what does the underlined word it refer* to ?

A. the people’s question B. the scientists’ answe

C. the universe D. the environment

【4】According to the passage, we can infer that .

A. not all the planets go around the star in the Solar System

(E)

“ USA? England? Australia? Which country is better to study in?” As China opens its door, many Chinese students want to learn about the world. It's true that studying abroad(国外的) can help students develop themselves. Students' language skills will be improved and it may be easier for them to find a job.
But there are problems that should be considered(考虑). Language is the first. Students must use a lot of time to learn another language and to get used to a different culture.
Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of things. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for the students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担)to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth(值得)it?
We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example.
