When you look up into the sky at night, have you ever felt that your eyes are playing tricks on (捉弄) you? It seems that the stars are moving all the time.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with your eyes. This twinkling effect is called scintillation (交光). Scintillation happens because of air movements in the earth’s atmosphere (大气). Light is “bent (弯曲的)” when it travels through different parts of the earth’s atmosphere. As the air in the earth’s atmosphere is moving all the time, the light from the stars looks as if it is moving too.
The same thing also happens to things on the ground. On a very hot and shiny day, if you look at the road, the image in the distance is not clear and things move slightly. You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. The rock appears a little unclear under the moving water.
This twinkling effect causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文学家) since they cannot observe the stars clearly. A telescope (望远镜) was sent into space so that the air movements in the atmosphere could be avoided (避免). It took a long time to build the space telescope but finally in 1990, a huge space telescope called the Hubble Space Telescope was successfully sent into space. Since then, astronomers have many important observations that have helped people understand space better.

Why do we come to school? Most of us may say we come to school to study. But to study needs a right way, or you either waste the time or the money. The following are the ways for studying.
The best time for reading is morning. In the morning the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason we can get good results.
In studying we must have patience(耐心). If we have not known a text well, we must read it again. We should not read the next one until we have learned the first one well.
When we are studying, we must put our hearts into the books, or we can get nothing from the books while we are reading.
We must always ask “whys”. If it is not well understood, write it down and ask our teachers or our parents, brothers or friends. In any possible way, we must know it completely and what we have learned can be used well and made better.
Though there are many ways for studying, yet what I have said above will be enough if we can keep them in heart and do so.

Have you ever rubbed your hands together when they get cold? Why do we do that? We do that for friction. Friction happens when two things that aren’t very smooth rub together to make heat energy. The faster you rub two things together, the more friction ( and heat) you can make. Let’s discover friction!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

·Soap ·Water·Your hands!

WHAT TO DO

Make sure your hands are dirty.

Rub your hands together until you feel the heat of your hands.

Now, use soap and water to get your hands very slippery(滑的).

Try to make friction happen while your hands are slippery.

Please write down what has happened.

LET’S TALK!

Friction is an energy that happens when two things rub together. When friction happens, it makes heat! When your hands are slippery, they won’t make very much friction and your hands won’t get so hot.

DID YOU KNOW?

Friction happens when you stop your fast running bike.

Ancient people made fire by rubbing two pieces of wood together. Friction happened though they didn’t know it.

____?___

Friction is everywhere. Have you ever noticed situations where friction is happening? If not, ask your parents to take you out in a car. If it is not hot, touch the tires(轮胎) of the car before and after a short drive to see how much warmer they get from friction.

1. This text is most probably________________________.

3.___________ is not an example of friction.

When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck!” from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?

In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.

Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star”? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn’t happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so if you make a wish, it will come true.

Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit’s foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes, “Depend on the rabbit’s foot if you will, but remember it didn’t work for the rabbit!”

People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following year—they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole of good luck!

1.______ is mentioned in the oldest good luck tradition.

A. A rabbit’s foot                      B. A falling leaf

C. A cheerful wish from friends         D. A shooting star

2.From Paragraph 3, we know that ______.

A. shooting stars can often be seen

B. people can see a shooting star on a rainy night

C. your wish may come true if you see a shooting star

D. people believe that it’s unlucky to see a shooting star

3.British people try to catch 12 falling leaves because ______.

A. the leaves fall in autumn

B. there are so many leaves to catch

C. the leaves can bring them a lucky month

D. they want to have a whole year of good luck

4.In Paragraph 5, the underlined word “them” refers to(指)______.

A. trees            B. people               C. leaves               D. years

5.The passage is mainly about ______.

A. how to wish upon a star              B. things that bring good luck 

C. British people love leaves           D. which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckiest
