When man began to search the skies, he saw a lot of things. In the universe, the earth seemed
to be just a small bit of dust. It is only a small planet, and travels around the sun. The sun
together with its planets, travels in the Milky Way（银河）, our galaxy（星系）. The Milky way
has about thirty billion stars like our sun, and is one of about a hundred million galaxies in
the universe. Because the space is so great, it is difficult to work out how far away a star is.
Instead of kilometers, we have light years. A light year means the distance light travels in one
year. Our nearest neighbour galaxy is more than 9,000,000 light years away from the earth.

Americans love cars. They go everywhere in them. 85% of people in the US go to and form work
by car. And most adults have driving licenses. Why does this car culture exist?

America’s love of cars started after the war when soldiers returned home from World War Π
to rebuild their lives. They borrowed money from the government to buy houses and cars which became

Making of roads
During the war, President Eisenhower noticed what good roads Germany had. He decided to build
new four-lane（四车道）roads in America. He said is something happened suddenly, the two-lane
roads wouldn’t be able to carry all the cars that would suddenly leave the cities. Car and oil
companies liked his idea and building started.
Car lovers
Not just teenagers are crazy about cars. Some Americans love their cars so much that they
paint their cars beautifully. These are called Art Cars. Every April there is an activity in Houston,
Texas, where they show their cars.Pollution
Cars have polluted the environment. American President Bush refused a worldwide law that is
against pollution. Many countries were angry about it. Bush said he had to think of the American
economy（经济）and all the American people that make money from cars. Factories say they want

What is your favourite cartoon? It may be difficult for you to decide. But for pianist Lang
Lang, Tom and Jerry is the best one.
When Lang was two years old, he saw Tom playing the piano. This was his first time to enjoy

His talent at the keyboard has taken him from Shenyang to the world.
Lang became a good piano student at three. Ever since, the boy has been doing better and better.
In 1997, the 15-year-old boy studied at a famous American music college.

Have you ever thought of living on Mars? Our Earth is becoming more and more c 71 .
And at the same time there’s terrible p 72 here. If we move to Mars, things will probably
change. However, it may be d 73 for people to have a conversation there, because sound
doesn’t travel very f 74 on Mars. The low pressure(气压) makes it so. For example, a
s 75 by a human scream on Earth can travel a little over a kilometre. But on Mars, the
sound from that same scream will only move 15 metres at m 76 . Besides, the atmosphere
on Mars is also much t 77 than that on Earth. On Earth, our atmosphere is about 3 km t
78 , while it is very thin on Mars. Also Earth has a much higher t 79 than Mars. The
