Have you ever seen the man in the moon? If you look at the moon on some night, you can see the face of the man in the moon. Some people say that they can see an old man carrying a stick. Others see a girl reading a book. These pictures are made by the mountains and plains of the moon .
Long ago, people in England used to tell their children that the moon was made of green cheese（干酪）, Everyone knows that this is not true. The moon is a large round rock. It is completely bare: there are no trees or plants on the moon. There are no rivers or seas. There are no living things. It never rains on the moon, and everything is covered with dry, white dust. Not even a sound can be heard on the moon.
Where the sun shines on it, the moon is very hot. In the shade, however, it is as cold as ice. The moon is much smaller than the earth. It does not weigh as much as the earth. If you went to the moon, you would weigh six times less than you do now. Even a fat man would be able to jump high off the ground. 51. There is (are) _______ on the moon.

Smoking, which may be a pleasure for some people, is a serious reason of discomfort for their fellows. Medical scientists have expressed their concern (关心) about the effect of smoking on the health not only
2
of those who smoke, but also of those who do not. In fact, nonsmokers who take in the air polluted by tobacco smoke suffer more than the smokers themselves.
A great number of students have joined in an effort to persuade the university to forbid smoking in
classrooms. I believe they are completely right in their aim . however, I think it more important to achieve (使…成功)this by calling on the smokers to use good judgement and to show concern for others.

Every morning when he left home, he was dressed in a fine black suit. Then he changed into the overalls (工作服)and spent next eight hours as a dustman (清洁工). Before returning home, he took a shower (淋浴)and changed back into his suit. He did so for two years, and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. His wife
