Through our geography lessons, we know the earth goes round the sun, and the moon goes round 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 farther, and small things also look bigger when they are nearer.The sun is bright enough to give out very strong light. The moon can’t give 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(事实上) 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 still many other planets in the universe. But of all these 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 October15th 2003, Chinese pilot Yang Liwei was sent up to space.

There are no other children in the family for the child to talk or play with. An only child is not able to get along well with children of his age. Some parents regretted（后悔）making the decisions to have only one child.But the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in many parts of the world. In the US, for example, more than 14 percent of women between 18 and 34 plan to have just one child. The same can be seen in the UK. In Japan, the average number of children born per family had gone down to 1.42 by 1996.For some single child parents, especially who are busy working every day, time and energy seem to be overwhelming（势不可挡的）They don't have enough time and energy to share with more children. For other people, money is their first consideration（考虑）. Many couples in Japan choose not to have large families because the cost of supporting a child up to the age of 18 reaches around US $ 160,000.4. According to the passage, why is a single child likely to be lonely?A. Because his parents don't love him.B. Because he doesn't have holidays.C.

Many couples in Japan love to have large families. C. All parents feel confident about having a second child. D. Less than 14% of women in the UK plan to have just one child.7. The main idea of the passage is . A. the cost of supporting a child is so high.B. parents can't share their time and energy with more children.C. some parents regretted making the decisions to have only one child.D. the reasons for parents not to have a second child.CA very important world problem is the growing population on the earth. The population of the world today is more than 7,400,000,000. That is a great number and we know it quite well. The important thing is not how large the population of the world is now, but the rate of the growth. It is about 1.63 percent every year. Every second,4.2 babies are born in the world. Another baby! Another baby! Another baby! You can not speak quickly enough to keep up with the birth rate. The population is growing faster and faster. In one day, people have to find food for over 350,000 months. The rapid growth of population will make a big problem by the year 2025. There will be as many as 8.1 billion people on the earth! So this is one of the biggest problems that you are going to see in your life.8. From the passage, we know there are about new babies to be born in one minute in the world.A. 4B. 350C. 14,400D. 2509.

It is a universal language thatis understood by all, regardless of age, gender, or culture. The simple act of smiling can convey happiness, friendliness, and even affection. In today’s fast-paced world, weoften get caught up in our daily routines and forget to smile at others. However, the impact of a smile can be transformative.A study conducted by researchers found that smiling not only makes us feel happier butalso releases endorphins, the “feel-good” hormones in our body. These hormones help reduce stress and anxiety, making us more relaxed and positive. Additionally, smiling can create a positive atmosphere around us, encouraging others to smile as well. Moreover, smiling is contagious. When we smile at someone, it often triggers a reciprocal smile from them. This reciprocal smile can then spread to others, creating a chain reaction of positivity. This phenomenon has been observed in various social settings, from schools and offices to public spaces like buses and supermarkets.The benefits of smiling are numerous. It can improve our mood, enhance our social interactions, and even boost our physical health. Therefore, it is important to remember to smile more often, not only to make ourselves happier but also to spread happiness to others.Questions:1.What is the main idea of the passage?
