C Fun Facts about Our Moon Have you ever noticed the ways the moon changes? The moon can be bright or dull. Sometimes, we dont see the moon in the sky at all!
24、Other times, the moon shows up even when the sun is out. When the moon looks bright, its partly because of the sun. The moon has no light of its own. It only reflects the suns light. But how? Think about daytime. The sun makes everything around you bright with light. During daytime, sunlight hits Ea
25、rths surface and makes it bright. During nighttime, the sun is near another part of Earths surface, making that part bright, so you see 初二英语初二英语 第第 7 页（共页（共 14 页）页） darkness. At night, you also see the moon. In the same way that sunlight shines on Earths surface and makes it bright, sunlight shines
26、on the moons surface and makes that bright. Even though you cant see the sun at night, sunlight reaches the moons surface. The sun acts like a giant flashlight in the sky thats pointed at the moon. Other things can make the moon look brighter or duller, too. Sometimes, the moon looks brighter becaus
27、e its closer to Earth. Fog and clouds in the sky can make the moon look dimmer. The moon is always in the sky, but we dont usually see it during daytime. One reason for this is that the sun is so powerful that it makes the sky very bright. The brightness makes the moon hard to see. Imagine turning o
28、n a flashlight in a darkroom and aiming it at a wall. You would see the flashlights bright light clearly. Now, imagine turning on a flashlight in a room that already has all the lights on. You would hardly see the light from the flashlight because the other lights are more powerful. The moon becomes
29、 difficult to see in daytime for the same reason. The next time you see the big, bright moon in the sky, think of the sun shining its light onto it. 27.

32、er the summer months. It is called the “summer slide.” This may sound like a ride at a water park. But its not. Summer slide is the children forget much of what they learned during the latest school year. To fight the effects of summer slide, some parents send children to camp or find other activiti
33、es to keep them learning. As the new school year begins, most children are soon very busy with new classes and school-related activities. However, experts say keeping children busy all the time is not good for them. What should parents do instead? Nothing. Lea Waters is a psychologist, who has been
34、working on helping children succeed for over 20 years. Waters says slowing down actually helps children become the best they can be. “Its a little bit like, if you have too many programs running on your computer, your computer starts to slow down. And when you shut down those programs, your computer
35、 runs faster. Its very much like that for a childs brain.” Machines need to be reset, while kids need to goof off. “What I mean by goofing off is really allowing kids to have some downtime. They dont need to do a specific task. They can do something that they choose to do like shooting baskets, or d
36、oing a creative project, cooking. Its a project theyre interested in doing that they can do. ” She adds that goofing off does not mean the brain isnt working. “It uses that time to make a kind of decision about what information I should keep and put into my memory, what information I do not need and
37、 I get rid of. Its also an essential 初二英语初二英语 第第 9 页（共页（共 14 页）页） network for helping us to remember better, to develop emotional intelligence and a sense of identity. ” Lea Waters says she hopes parents will accept the fact that children dont have to be busy all the time. Children and adults need t

A. take rides at a water park B. take part in the summer camp C. learn some of the information in summer D. forget some of what they learned last term 31.

42、r childhood. Bill Gates thanked his high school maths teacher, Fred Wright, saying, “There wouldnt be a Microsoft without him doing what he did.” Fred asked him to push himself just a little bit harder. Maybe thats why Gates sometimes slept under Freds desk in the office instead of going home to rel
43、ax after work. For some children, teachers are the only positively influential people in their lives. Antwone Fisher, a best-selling writer, grew up in foster homes. And he didnt have many adults that he could trust. But a primary school teacher, Mrs Profitt, was the first adult he ever trusted. “Sh
44、e spoke to all of us the same way with respect. No one spoke to me that way before. I think that being with her for three years made all the difference,” Fisher said. There are thousands more stories like this, from famous people and ordinary people all across the world. Thats why UNESCO celebrates World Teachers Day on October 5th every year. UNESCO wants us to remember that education is a basic human right and every child should have free education. UNESCO hopes to train 69 million new teachers by 2030 so that everyone can go to school, because, sadly, 264 million chi
