　　Mid-Autumn Festival is an important day for the Chinese people. It falls on August 15 of Chinese lunar calendar. We eat mooncakes on that day. A mooncake is a round 1 . It looks like the 2 . But what do you know about the moon?

　　The moon is a 3 like the earth. The earth is 4 than the sun. The moon is smaller than 5 . So it is the smallest of the 6 . A man is 7 on the moon than on the earth. Walking 8 the moon is harder than 9 on the earth. It's like jumping and flying. I think it is very interesting. I want to 10 the moon some day. What about you? Do you want to go to the moon?

　　Jack was a rich young man. One day, he was 1 very happily down a street. Suddenly from his car came a terrible sound. He felt 2 , so he stopped his car and looked around. He saw a child standing nearby with a few small stones（石子）in his hand. He jumped 3 the car and found a dent（凹痕）in the door. He was so 4 that he caught the boy and shouted at him, “Who are you? 　　5 did you throw a stone at my new car?”

　　“Please, sir, please... I'm sorry! But I didn't know what else to do!” said the child. “I threw the stone 6 I wanted to get you to notice me. I need your 7 !”

　　Tears（眼泪）were running down the child's face. He said, “My brother 8 out of his wheelchair（轮椅）and was almost under it. He is hurt and too 9 for me. Could you give me 10 to get him back into his 11 ?”

　　After hearing this, Jack was moved（感动）and 12 to help him. He lifted the child's brother 13 back into his wheelchair. He looked over the boy carefully to make sure that he was OK. Then he watched the child 14 his brother towards their home. Suddenly the child 15 and bowed（鞠躬）to him. Jack looked at the dent in his car and smiled.

People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the church and have made up their minds to    15   the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest（抗议） against heavy trucks which run    16   through the narrow High Street.“They not only make it    17   to sleep at night, but they are doing damage（损害） to our houses and shops of historical   18  ,”
said John Norris, one of the protesters.
“ 19  we must have these noisy trucks on the roads,” said Jean Lacey, a biology student, “why don’t they build a new road that goes round the town? Burlington isn’t much more than a  20    village. Its streets were never meant for heavy traffic”.
　　Harry Fields also studying    21    said they wanted to make as much noise as possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody was having to stand. “Most of them don’t live here anyway,” he said, “they come in for meetings and the Town Hall is soundproof（隔音的）, so they probably don’t    22   . It’s high time they realized the problem.” The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were mostly on their side, and even if they weren’t they soon would be.
　　I asked if they were    23    that the police might come to stop them.
　　“Not really,” she said, “actually we are suitable bellringers. I mean we are assistant bellringers for the church. There is no    24    against practising.”
I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.
