Through our geography lessons, we know the Earth goes around the Sun, and the Moon goes around the Earth. We have day and night because the Earth keeps turning all the time. When our part of the Earth turns to the Sun, it is day. When our part of the Earth turns away from the Sun, it is night.Just because the Moon is closer to the Earth than the Sun, it looks much bigger than the Sun. Big things will look smaller when they are further, and small things also look bigger when they are nearer.The Sun is big enough to give out very strong light. The Moon cant give out any light at all, but it looks quite bright, too. Why? In fact, the light from the Moon comes from the Sun. The Moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars. But actually the stars are much bigger and brighter than the Moon. They look smaller than the Moon also because they are farther away from the Earth.There are many other planets in the universe. But of all the planets, only on the Earth there are living things and people can only live on the Earth, too. But at 9: 00 a. m. on October 15th, 2003, Chinese pilot Yang Liwei was sent up to space.

Some sports historians believe that the game of soccer began in England in the third century, however. They say that early English warriors（武士） kicked around the head of a killed enemy. This may or may not be true, but it is certain that soccer is an ancient sport.Without doubt, the English played soccer during the times of King Edward I in the 1300s. In fact, the king passed a law against playing it. The law said, There is great noise . caused by kicking large balls from which many ghosts may appear.

The objects that had been the companions(伙伴) of millions of readers for hundreds of years were about to die out. Soon, wed all be reading on little electronic screens and laughing at the memory of places called libraries and bookshops.But it seems not true about the idea of the death of the physical books. At least in the UK, as The Guardian noted, sales of e-books are falling while sales of paper books are rising. More surprisingly, its young people who are buying the most physical books. More than 60 percent of 16-to-24-year-olds preferred print books to e-books. The most popular reason given was: I like to hold the product.Books become very personal objects to lovers of reading. It often starts with the way they get them. Many buyers of books like to write down their name on the inside cover when theyve bought one. And we carry books around with us everywhere. If theres a mark made on the pages from coffee or food, it doesnt matter. These accidents make the book our book even more personal. Its as if readers of physical books make friends with them. Of course, some could say that the devices on which people read e-books, like Kindles and iPads are also objects that we like. But it isnt quite the same. A Kindle, can hold as many pieces of writing as a whole library. But a story we remember from our time turning its pages in our favourite armchair enters our memory forever. Physical books are as valuable to some readers as items of jewelry or photographs of family members. This friendship people develop with books isnt just about feelings. Research has shown that readers remember more information read from physical books than electronic ones.However, theres no doubt e-books are here to stay. They arent simply a here today, gone tomorrow thing.
