anywhere on the surface of Earth if you know when to look The Moon is the Earth’s only natural satellite, and has never been given any other specific name The Moon is about 384,403 kilometers from Earth, and has an approximate diameter of 3,476 km The Moon is actually believed to be slowly moving farther away from Earth, at a rate of about cm per year! The Moon makes one full orbit around the Earth every 29,5 days During this period the Moon enters a series of phrases, which changes the amount of light reflected off its surface and its visible shape to the naked eye from Earth The Moon differs from most natural satellites of other planets in that its orbit is close to the plane of the ecliptic and not in the Earth’s equatorial plane Exploration of the Moon began in 1959 when the unanimanned Luna landed on its surface Luna was closely followed by Luna in late 1959, which obtained the first images of the occluded far side of the Moon, and the first people to land on the Moon came aboard Apollo 11 on that historic night in 1969 36 When can the Moon be seen? - On clear days or nights 37 Is the diameter of the Moon correctly 3,476 km? - No, it isn’t 38 How many days does the Moon orbit around the Earth? - 29,5 days 39 Why is the Moon unlike most natural satellites of other planets? - Because its orbit is close to the plane of the ecliptic and not in the Earth’s equatorial plane 40 When did the people land on the Moon? II - In 1969 Bill Prince-Smith Bill Prince-Smith was a farmer and a teacher and a dentist before he became a writer of children's books at the age of 60 Now, thirteen years later, he has written more than 80 books Every day, he goes into his office and writes In the evening, he gives the work to his wife to read 'She tells me when she doesn't like something,' says Bill 'My ten grandchildren don't live near here but they also read my stories and say if they are good or bad.' And so Bill has learned what young children want to read Bill writes about the life in his village and on the farms near it His fifth book is his favourite: The Sheepdog is about a farmer and the dog that helps him “I have always liked animals,' says Bill, 'and dogs are so clever, they learn very quickly.' Last year, the book was made into a film with real animals and actors The film-makers used the latest computer technology to make people think that the animals are speaking Bill was very pleased with the film 'Sometimes film makers change books, but they didn't change mine and I love the film.' 36 When did Bill Prince-Smith become a writer? - At the age of 60 37 How many books has Bill written since he started writing? 38 What does Bill often write about in his books? 39 Was The Sheepdog Bill’s first book? - More than 80 books - The life in his village and on the farms near it - No, It wasn’t It was the fifth one 40 Why was Bill very pleased with the film made from his book The Sheepdog? - Because the film was interesting III The Peninsula of Southeast Asia lies directly below India and China, between the Pacific and Indian Oceans It is made up of Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos Over thousands of the years, this region has a diverse mix of culture and religions Much of land here is mountainous, with half a region covered in forest Most people live in coastal or lowland regions where they can grow crops such as rice, raise cattles, and catch fish In recent years, the electric industry has also become an important part of Southeast Asian economics, especially in Thailand and Vietnam Most people in Southeast Asia live in rural areas rather than cities, and farming is the most common occupation The steep mountainous regions are often unsuitable for growing crops or raising cattles, however, and many farming communities are based in the fertile river valleys and deltas Rice is the most important crop in the Southeast Asia It grows well in wet lowland areas, such as the Mekong river delta in Viet Nam where the plants can be grown in paddy fields Most rice is planted and harvested by women 36 Which countries does Southeast Asia include? - Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos 37 Is the forest occupy about ¼ total lands in the Southeast Asia? - No, it isn’t It is a half 38 Where people in Southeast Asia live?

A cat is closely related to such animals as the lion, tiger, and leopard, and in its own way it behaves like them For instance, cats lie in wait for their victims, and then spring on their back, just the way a lion might kill an enemy It has 18 claws on its feet that it can pull out and draw back again What make a cat able to see in the dark? It has eyes that can adjust themselves to different amounts of light When there is a bright light, the pupil of the eyes become narrow slits When it is dark, the pupils become wide, almost the size of the entire eye This does not mean that a cat can see in the absolute darkness, but it needs much less light than most animals Because a cat eyes round out from the head, it collects light from a wide angle When a cat’s eyes reflect all this light, it seems to glow Cats may live to be 19 or 20 years old of age, but the average age is 14 years 36 Why is the cat one of the strangest creatures on earth? - Because it always seems to be just one step removed from the jungle 37 Which animals does a cat have close relationship with? Why? - A cat always behaves like the lion, tiger, and leopard, so it is closely related to such animals 38 Why can a cat see in the dark? Because a cat eyes round out from the head, it collects light from a wide angle 39 Which is the difference of a cat’s eyes to different lights? - When it is light, the pupil of the eyes become narrow slits When it is dark, the pupils become wide 40 Is the normal age of a cat 19.5 years? V - No, it isn’t The average age of a cat is 14 years CANADA GEESE Canada Geese are large blue and white birds When autumn arrives, they have to fly south where the weather is warmer The winters are so cold in Canada that the birds die if they stay there Last spring, Bill Lishman found sixteen young Canada Geese on his farm They had lost their parents Bill thought, “These young birds won't know what to in the autumn” Bill had a small plane and he decided ·to teach the birds to follow him All through the summer, he went on short trips in his plane and the young geese flew after him When the cold weather arrived in autumn, Bill flew to Virginia in the United States, 600 miles south of his home in Canada The geese followed him all the way Bill left the geese in Virginia and he returned home This spring, Bill was waiting for the birds to come back They didn't arrive, so Bill flew to Virginia to get them He looked for them for two weeks but he couldn't find them When he arrived back home, Bill found the geese waiting for him They had found their way home without him! 36 What Canada Geese often when autumn arrives? - They have to fly south where the weather is warmer 37 How many young Canada Geese did Bill Lishman find on his farm last spring? - Sixteen 38 Why did Bill go on short trips in his plane all through the summer? - He wanted to teach the birds to fly 39 Did Bill want the geese to stay at his home for the winter? - No, he didn’t He left the geese in Virginia in the United States 40 Why didn’t Bill find the geese in Virginia?

VII - On May 17 1993 - She is well known today and she has more money Will technology replace school? Some people believe that soon schools will no longer be necessary These people say that because of the internet and other new technology, there is no longer any need for school buildings, formal classes, or teachers Perhaps, this will be true one day, but it is hard for me to imagine a world without schools In fact we need to look at how we can use new technology to make schools better not to eliminate them We should invent a new kind of school that is linked to libraries, museums, science centres, laboratories, and even companies Experts could give talks on video or over the internet TV networks and local stations could develop programming about things students are actually studying in school 36 Do many people believe that soon schools will no longer be necessary? - No, there are some people only 37 Why they think that there is no longer any need for school buildings, formal classes, or teachers? - Because the internet and other new technology are developing quickly 38 What kind of school should we invent? - The school that is linked to libraries, museums, science centres, laboratories, and even companies 39 What could experts do? - They could give talks on video or over the internet 40 Do you think that schools are necessary for us?
