2. 月儿弯弯，像只小船在天边， 伴着星星，，眨着眼睛向我看。 The Moon Our nearest neighbour is the moon. It goes around the Earth about every 27 days.

3. The moon does not make its own light. It reflects light from the sun. So we can see it. The moon is very different from the Earth. It is very hot during the day but very cold at night. On the moon there are craters and mountains. But there is no air. So nothing can live there. When the moon’s gravitational force pulls on water on the Earth, it makes tides—the rise and fall of sea levels. This is important for ships. Did you know? We always see the same side of the moon. The moon always keeps the same side pointing towards us so we can never see the back of the moon from the Earth!

13. Culture 愚人节的起源 16世纪中期，法国国王查理九世决定采用新的纪年法——格里高利历(即目前通用的阳历)，以1月1日为一年的开始，改变了过去以4月1日为新年开端的习俗。但一些守旧派反对这种改革，依然按照旧的历法在4月1日这天送新年礼、庆祝新年。主张改革的人便大加嘲弄守旧派的做法，在4月1日给他们送假礼物，邀请他们参加假的聚会。从此，4月1日捉弄人的事便流传开来，成为欢乐的“愚人节”。
