    We have always been interested in the moon．2000 years ago people a1ready knew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year．At that time，everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky．

    When scientists could use telescopes(望远镜)to study the moon more closely，their ideas began to change．They could see the moon was made of rocks．Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth．This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet(行星)that had been caught in the earth’s gravity(引力)millions of years earlier

    In 1969 moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied．Much to their surprise，scientists found that，except for water，the moon and the earth were made of the same thing．Once again new ideas were needed for this new information．

    After years of study，most scientists now think that the moon was once part of Earth．They believe very early in its history，maybe 4 million years ago，something about the size of Mars(火星)hit Earth．This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet．These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon．

    In the future，even though our ideas about the moon may change again，we will still be interested in it．

1．Now，we’re sure       

    A．Moon rocks are quite different from those on Earth．

    B．Moon was once a part of Earth．

    C．Moon moves around Earth and it's the only satellite of Earth．

D．Moon was once a planet caught in Earth’s gravity．

2．In 1969 there is a big event，that is       ．

    A．humans found no water in Moon rocks

    B．scientists made out a modern spaceship

    C．scientists invented an advanced telescope

D，humans left their footprints on Moon

3．What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?

    A．Why people are interested in the moon．

    B．How ideas about the moon have changed over time．

    C．Where the moon came from in the past．

    D．That people have finally learned the truth about the moon．

4．Before l 969 most scientists thought the moon was        ．

    A．part of the earth billions of years earlier

    B．older than the earth

    C．a planet caught by the earth’s gravity

    D．made of the same things as the earth

5．From this passage we can learn that          ．

    A．scientists in the past were not clever

    B．the earth was once part of the moon

    C．new information brings new ideas

    D．we now know everything about the moon

“No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life became empty and sad. We all need friends.
For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.
There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence  People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best-seller. It was later put into 28 languages.
Dale Carnegie’s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book.
1. Be friendly and polite. Always greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me” or “would you please”, when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.
2. Go out of your way to be nice. Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbor may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better.
3. Remember names. They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name.
4. Be open-minded. Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.
5. Listen patiently. When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.
