How high is it? What colour is it? What birds can live above it? These questions are difficult to answer, arent they?In fact, the sky has no colour. Then why does the sky look blue?We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes cant fly very high. That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher. The same will happen to us if we go high enough. If we go up about 1, 200 kilometres from the earth, well find no air there. Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane, but they cannot fly or live without air.Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue. The colour would be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun.Sometimes the sky doesnt look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colours in the sky. Such are the most beautiful moments of the day.Who can see the colours of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts(宇航员)! They can see those beautiful colours of the sky from outer space. However, before flying into outer space, they sit in a spaceship high above the earth, and there is no air at all. The sky would be that dark and its colour would be black.Now you may understand that we see colours because the air scatters(使散射) the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no light or colours.(1)Planes cant fly as high as possible because _.A.the sky is blueB.the air becomes thinnerC.the sky has no colourD.the wings are heavier(2)When you stand on the top of a high mountain, you will see _.A.more airB.bluer skiesC.more coloursD.more clouds(3)We might see many colours in the sky at _ during the day.A.6:00 a.m.B.9:00 a.m.C.1:00 p.m.D.3:00 p.m.(4)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The sky itself has the blue colour.B.There is no air when we are about 1, 200 metres from the earth.C.The astronauts can fly into outer space in a spaceship with no air at all.D.We can see colours because the air scatters the sunlight.C巩固练习微课视频I was in line waiting to pay.

However, the cashier(收银员) told him he was $ 8.00shortafter counting his money.It was clear that the boy had already used all the money. The lady in front of me said, “Well, I could pay half of that.” I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We dug into our handbags. However, both of us only had ten-dollar bills (纸币). Other shoppers began digging into their pockets to find some change. It was amazing and touching as all these strangers seemed to react (反应) with the same mind. All wanted to be of help.

When things happen so fast, maybe you cant understand clearly what you are doing or learning, so it is important to stop yourself to think about what you have been doing or learning.Self-reflection (反省) means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind. Some people like to do self-reflection only in their mind. Others keep a diary. Whats more, taking notes is also OK. Each method (方法) works. You can follow the steps to do self-reflection.First, choose the proper (合适的) time to do it. School textbooks are divided into (被分成) units of study. This makes it easier to begin self-reflection. Look for time when you finish a unit of study. Sometimes you know its the time because there is some kind of test. Use these natural breaks to stop and do self-reflection.Then, find a quiet place and take out your reflection diary. Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit.Finally, think about things that you are not sure of. Maybe you learned a new way to work out a maths problem, but youre not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic.Successful students always know self-reflection is important. If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.(1)_(2)_(3)_(4)_(5)_五、词汇60After the car accident, he had to lie in bed, _(able) to move.61Can you tell me something about one of the _ (Europe) countries ?62He seems even _(tiny) than we thought.63The palaces in old Beijing used to be those _(ruler).64The _(形势) in South China Sea makes every Chinese angry.65The man standing _(靠) the wall is my English teacher.66Some of my_(亲戚) live in the country because they like the fresh air.67He has much _(经验) in climbing mountains and travelling alone.六、动词填空68Daniel _(tie) his books with a rope when I came into his room.69Would you please _(not turn) off the computer?70The White family _(leave) for the airport in the early morning.71The shop has so many nice things that he couldnt stop _(buy) a lot.72You _ (drive).
