When you look at the sky at night, the moon looks bigger than the stars. Actually, the moon is much smaller than the stars and the sun. It's much smaller than the earth. But the moon is much closer to us than any star. That is why it looks so big. If you hold a coin close to your eye, it looks big. If you look at it across the moon, it looks small.

The moon moves around the earth. It makes one trip in about four weeks. The moon looks flat to us. But it is a round ball, like the earth.

People once thought the moon had fire on it. They thought the fire made it bright. Now we know the moon is like a mirror. It gets its light from the sun.

Our sunlight comes from the sun, too. What is the sun? The sun is a star. The stars we can see have their own light. There are many big stars we cannot see. Their light had burned out. Others are still bright, but they are so far away that we cannot see them. The sun looks bigger and much brighter than other stars because it is the nearest of all stars. The sun and the other stars we see are very hot, but the air around us saves us from the heat of the sun.

  The sun gives us light and warmth. It makes plants grow and turns leaves green. It makes life possible on our earth. It is a life giving star.

Anger is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.

Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe（呼吸）faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit(打) someone, but sometimes, you hide(隐藏) your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.

In fact, it’s not good to hide your anger, and it’s normal for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.

When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It’s helpful to talk about your anger with an adult, such as parents, a teacher, etc. When you talk about anger, those bad feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug(拥抱); go for a bike ride; think about good things, etc.

Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse. Don’t let your anger control you.

Teeth are very important for our health. They will be our lifelong friends. So we should learn to protect them at a very young age. Here are some tips:

First, we should eat right.

* Don't eat too much candy or drink too much cola, or our teeth will go bad easily.

* Have more cheese, milk and yogurt to make teeth strong.

* Eat more vegetables and fruits to help clean teeth.

Second, we should keep these numbers in mind.

* 2/Day    Brash yore teeth at least twice a day: in the morning and before bedtime.

* 2-3Minutes Brush for at least two to three minutes every time.

* 3 Months Get a new toothbrush every three months.

* 6 Months Go to the dentist every six months for a check-up.

Do you have meals regularly? If the answer is “yes”, it would be great. However, many people are not doing as great as you. According to a new survey, half of British people say that they are too busy to have meals on time.

The survey shows that 50% of British people don’t have meals on time. About 40% of them eat breakfast in less than 10 minutes. One fifth say that they don’t have breakfast or lunch. Instead, they choose to eat snacks to stop themselves from being hungry. About 47% say that they are so busy that they just have a sandwich at their desks. Many people eat snacks to get through the day. As a result, making people eat healthily is not an easy task. It seems that the traditional lunch hour is becoming a thing of the past.

As we all know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But so many people don’t have breakfast every day. Even worse, nearly one in three people combine breakfast and lunch together.

Many people have dinner very late in the evening. About 16% of people say that they often have dinner after 8 pm. That is time for the digestive system(消化系统) to slow down and get ready to sleep! Some people even eat snacks late at night!

Everyday work is very important, of course. But health is much more important.

As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger.

Scientists have found out that radiation(辐射) is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The damage done by radiation won’t be discovered until their children or even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but there’s no really helpful medicine.

Space junk is also thought a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there are 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are man-made satellites(卫星),10% are spaceships, and the rest are space junk. An explosion(爆炸) in 1996 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments(碎片),each at least 4 mm in size, and even a small piece of these knocked against a spaceship window and did some damage. Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working on helpful ways to do with space junk.

Although space is really dangerous, it interests everyone on the earth. In the near future, it may become usual for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space for a few years. So we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment.
