If you want to get the most out of the study of a language, you must also read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, and so on. And in reading books of this kind thething is to get on with the reading, to try to grasp(领会)the writer is going to tell you in the book as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think over theof every single word which happens to be unfamiliar. You cannot enjoy a story if you stop lots of times on every page forwords in the dictionary. You may even prevent yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this.
In the universe, as we all know, there is the sun, the moon, the earth and a good many stars. 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 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 further 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. He stayed there for 21 hours. It was the first time for Chinese to get into space.
California is burning! Wildfires have spread(扩散) across the US since October 23rd and smoke has filled its skies.
The fires have got lots of people's life into trouble. Take the Kincade Fire in northern California for example. It forced 200,000 people to move away within one week. The state's largest power company(电力公司) cut power to about 206,000 homes in order to stop more fires from breaking out, Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) News reported.
California has seen man wildfires in recent years. Nine of the ten biggest fires have happened since 2000, including five since 2010, according to The New York Times.
Why is this? California has the perfect wildfire conditions, Park Williams, a US climate expert, told The New York Times. It has dry air and high temperatures from spring through late fall. At the same time, seasonal winds blow across the state every year, causing the wildfires to spread quickly and last for weeks.
Global (全球的) warming has also made the fires worse in recent years. It has dried out the state's trees and other plant life, causing them to burn more easily.
__________ Burning campfires and cigarette butts ( 烟头 ) or other human activities can all easily cause wildfires. For example, one fire started last year when a car got an accident. The car's oil tank was hit broken, starting a fire.
Lightning strikes (雷击) and volcanic eruptions (火山爆发) can also cause wildfires. However, humans have caused 90 percent of California's wildfires, according to the US National Park Service.
