阅读下面材料,根据其内容完成后面各项任务。

    Thousands of years ago,people didn’t know why sometimes the moon is full and sometimes it is crescent(弯曲)shaped,and even sometimes it can’t be seen at all.The moon was a great mystery(谜)to them.They made up stories about the great light in the night sky.They thought there was a god up there who was in charge of(掌管)the moon。They called the god,“Moon God”.

      In fact the moon is the Earth’s satellite(卫星).Many planets have a satellite,and some have many.Our moon travels around the Earth once a month.It’s much smaller than the Earth and gravity(引力)pulls it.

    In most nights the moon is the brightest thing in the sky.This is because it reflects(反射)light from the sun.It doesn’t shine itself.

    What we see of the moon changes from night to night.Its changing shapes are called phases(盈亏).The pictures of the moon’s phases show the shapes of the shining part of the moon that people see in its different phases.

    When the moon is between the sun and the Earth,we can’t see the moon at all.This is called a“new moon”.

    When the moon is behind the Earth and the sun shines on it,there is a“full moon”.

    Thanks to space travel,people now know more about the moon.Humans have even visited it.They know that there is no air,no water or life there.But there is much sunlight and natural resources(资源).These can be very useful to usSome scientists saywith the help of modem technologymore and more people will be able to go to the mooneven live on itMaybe it will be some people’s second home in the future.
