The turning of the earth makes us 7 as if the sun were moving across the sky. We cant see that the earth is moving because everything 8 on the earth is turning with us. As the earth turns around every twenty-four hours, first one half 9 the sun and then the other half. When our half of the earth is facing the sun, we say it is day. When our half is 10 from the sun, we say it is night. It is the turning of the earth that tells us when to go to bed and when to get up.6) Once upon a time，there was a child ready to be bornSo 1 he asked God，”they tell me you are sending me to 2 ，but being SO small and helpless， 3 am I going to live there?” “4 the many angels(天使)，I chose one for youShe will be waiting for you and will take care of you”God replied But here in Heaven(天堂)，I do 5 else but sing and smile!

Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another. In Britain, you mustnt lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid（液体）food. But its different in China. And in Japan you even neednt worry about making noises when you have it. It shows that you are enjoying it. But it is regarded as bad manners（礼貌；方式）in Britain. If you are a visitor in Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud “burp”（打嗝）after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like the food. In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when youre having a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal. But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustnt eat with your left hand. Arabs consider it very bad manners eating with left hands. So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country? Well, just do in Rome as the Romans do. You can ask the native（本土的）people to help you or just watch carefully and follow them. ( ) 1.
