Our reporter asked people what they were doing on July 20th, 1969 when man first walked

on the Moon. Here is what they said:

Kate Jones, waitress: I remember that day very well. I was fifteen years old. It was a hot day and I was with my family in the mountains. We were having a picnic. We didn’t see the Moon landing when it happened, but we were thinking about it. We saw it later on the TV news.

John Bates, postman: I was eighteen years old. It was a very exciting day. I was watching TV at home when the astronaut walked on the Moon. His name was Neil Armstrong. I remember he could jump really high because people aren’t so heavy on the Moon. When he returned, he became a national hero in America, and famous all over the world.

Paul Robinson, doctor: I was twelve. I remember the day, but I don’t remember what I was doing. I remember I wanted to go to the Moon, too. My dream was to become an astronaut and fly in a rocket (火箭). I wanted to see the Earth from the Moon. The astronauts on the Moon said that the Earth looked very beautiful from there.

Linda Brown, driver: I was working that day. I was twenty then. I didn’t see the man land on the Moon because I was busy. Of course I knew about it. I read about it in the newspaper the next day. I thought it was amazing. Maybe one day people will travel to the Moon for vacations!

Scientists think that there has been life on the Earth for hundreds of millions of years.

However, we have not found life on any other planet yet.

The Earth is a planet and it goes around the Sun. Seven other planets also go around the Sun. None of them has an environment like that of the Earth, so scientists think there may be no life on them. The Sun and its planets are called the solar system (太阳系), and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets, called the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There are many, many stars in the Galaxy, and our Sun is only one of them.

Scientists have also discovered many other galaxies in the universe (宇宙). They are very

far away and their light has to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is impossible to imagine.

Scientists have sent spaceships to the planet Mars to take photos. They have even sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enough to reach other stars in our Galaxy.

Scientists have always asked the questions: with so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out there in space? Have there been visitors to the Earth from other planets? Why has no one communicated with us? We do not know the answers yet.

Questions

Have you ever seen a person in the Moon? If you look closely at the Moon on some nights, you can see the face of a man in the Moon. Some people say that they can see an old man carrying sticks. Others see a girl reading a book. These pictures are made by the mountains and plains of the Moon.

Long ago people in England used to tell their children that the Moon was made of green cheese. Everyone knows that this is not true. The Moon is a large round rock. There is nothing on it. There are no trees or plants on the Moon. There are no rivers or seas. There are no living things. There is no air. It never rains on the Moon and everything is covered with dry, white dust. Not even a sound can be heard on the Moon.

The Moon is very hot when the Sun shines on it. But in the shade (背阴处) it is as cold as ice.

The Moon is much smaller than the Earth. It does not weigh as much as the Earth. If you went to the Moon, you would weigh six times less than you do now. Even a fat man would be able to jump high off the ground.
