　　Men have traveled ever since they first appeared on the earth. In primitive times they did not travel for pleasure, but to find new places where their herds could feed, or to escape unfriendly neighbours, or to find more favorable climate. They traveled on foot. Their journeys were long, tiring and often dangerous. They protected themselves with simple weapons, such as wooden or stone sticks, and by lighting fires at night and, above all, by keeping together.

　　Being intelligent and creative, they soon discovered easier ways of traveling. They rode on the backs of their animals; they hollowed out tree trunks and, by using bits of wood as paddles, were able to travel across water.

　　Men have traveled ever since they first appeared on the earth.

　　Later they travelled, not for necessity, but for the job and excitement of seeing and experience new things. This is still the main reason why we travel today.

For thousands of millions of years the moon has been going round the earth. At that time, the moon was the 　36 satellite(卫星)of the earth. Today, 　37 , the earth has many other satellites. All of them are 38 by man. These man-made satellites are very much smaller than the moon. However, some of them will still be going 39 the earth thousands of years from now.

Man-made satellites don’t 40 because they are going too fast to do so. As they speed along, they 41 to go straight off into space. They 42 out of the earth, or its gravity, which 43 them from doing this. As a result, they travel in an orbit(轨道)round the earth.

Men have 49 spaceships to the moon and to the two 50 planets Mars(火星) and Venus(金星). By putting a camera on 51 the spaceship to the moon, men have been able to 52 photographs of the other side of the moon. This side is always 53 from us as the moon 54 the earth. The 55 were later transmitted by radio to the earth. They showed that the other side of the moon is very much the same as the side that turns towards us.
