　　Why is a full moon, yellower and bigger when it is coming up than when it is higher in the sky?

　　That's a good question about something that we all can see. Let's talk about the moon's color first.

　　We see the moon only because of the sunlight that falls on it and is reflected. Actually, the moon is not a very good reflector, because its surface is all rocks and dirt. We see it in almost its true color when it is high in the sky.

　　When the moon first comes up, its light reaches our eyes after an extra-long path through the atmosphere(大气). There are lots of particles(微粒)scattering(分散)light in that long path. Blue light is scattered more than other colors, which means that it doesn't reach your eyes. The light that is left over looks yellow to your eye.

　　Now about the other questionwhy the moon seems to change in size. That's more complicated. It's not an effect of the atmosphere, the way color is; it's not caused by something fooling your eyes. It seems, instead, to be caused by something that fools your brainan illusion(错觉).

　　Here's a drawing that creates an illusion. The two cones are really the same size. But the rest of the drawing makes the right-hand cone seem farther away. Your brain knows that faraway objects are really larger than they look. It decided that the right-hand cone must be larger because it seems to be farther away.

　　Similarly, when you see the moon just come up over a line of trees or house-or whatever makes the horizon(地平线) it may be that your brain decided that the moon must be larger because it seems to be farther away.

1．The moon doesn't reflect the sunlight very well because ________.

[　　]

2．Which statement is not true according to the passage?

[　　]

A．The moon is farther away from us when it rises than it is high in the sky.

B．The moonlight is yellow when it comes up.

C．In the course of the moon's rising, the moonlight first looks blue and then yellow.

D．In the atmosphere, many small particles make the moonlight lose its blue color.

3．Which statement is true according to the passage?

[　　]

A．In the course of its rising, the moon is getting smaller and smaller.

B．The size of the moon is more complicated than its color.

C．The atmosphere has the same effect on the moon's size as on its color.

D．The change in the moon's size is caused by an illusion while that in its color is caused by the atmosphere.

4．After reading this passage, you can possibly answer one of the following questions Which one? ________.

[　　]

A．Why does the sun look bigger when it rises over the horizon?

B．Why is the sun bigger when it rises over the horizon?

C．Why does the sun look golden?

D．Why does the sun rise in the east?

People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb，you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms(体育馆). Here，people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.
　　How do people climb the wall? To climb，you need special shoes and a harness(保护带)around your chest to hold you. There are ropes(绳索)tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high，and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult part is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall，the harness and the ropes hold you，and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.
　　Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body，especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb，both your mind and your body can become stronger.
