  Once there was a piano player in a bar.People came just to hear him play.But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.

  "I don't sing, " said the man.

  But the lady told the waiter, "I'm tired of listening to the piano.I want the player to sing!

  The waiter shouted across the room, "Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song! '

  So he did.He had never sung in public before.Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!

  He had talent he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar.But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US.His name was Nat King Cole.

  Dear Sir or Madam,

  Last Thursday,I traveled on the 8:00 a.m.train from Glasgow to London

King’s Cross and I was quite angry with the service of your company.

  The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow.

A man at the station said sorry to us,but he didn’t give us any reasons for the delay(误点).We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes.As a result,I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.

  What’s more,the service on the train was also very poor.The trip took more than five hours.Unluckily,we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train.Worst of all,something was wrong with the air conditioning(空调系统) and it got hotter and hotter in the train.Before we reached King’s Cross,the temperature was over 40℃.

  Because of your poor service,I feel you should pay me compensation(赔偿).

  I am looking forward to hearing from you.

                                    Yours faithfully,

                                     David Robertson

     We know that there is air around the earth. We will find there is less air or no air if we go far enough away from the earth. But when    planes fly they need air to lift their wings (机翼). But planes can't fly very high because the air gets thinner and thinner when    they go higher and higher. Perhaps we can answer some of the questions now. What is the sky? Nothing, where is it? It is all    around the earth. The sky is space (空间). In this space there is nothing but the sun, the moon, the earth and all the stars.
