Before we left，Li Yanping explained to me that the force of gravity would change three times on our journey and the first change would be the most powerful．Then we were off．As the rocket rose into the air，we were pushed back into our seats because we were trying to escape from the pull of the earth's gravity．It was so hard that we could not say anything to each other．Gradually the weight lessen and I was able to talk to him．"Why is the spaceship not falling back to the earth？On the earth if I fall from a tree I will fall to the ground．"I asked．"We are so far from the earth now to feel its pull，"he explained，"so we feel as if there is no gravity at all．When we get closer to the moon，we shall feel its gravity pull us，but it will not be as strong a pull than the earth's．"I cheered up immediately and floated weightless around in our spaceship cabin watching the earth become smaller and the moon larger．
When we got there，I wanted to explore immediately．But when I tried to step forward，I found myself carrying twice as far as on the earth and fell over．"Oh dear，"I cried，"walking does needs a bit of practice in that gravity has changed．"After a while I got the hang of it and we began to enjoy ourselves．

2．Are you too old for fairy tales？If you think so，Copenhagen is sure to change your mind．
Copenhagen is a city on a human scale．You don't have to hurry to walk the city's center in less than an hour．Exploring it will take much longer．But that's easy．Copenhagen was the first city to declare a street for pedestrians only．The city has less traffic noise and pollution than any other European capital．
Stroll away from the harbor along the riverbanks，and you'll see the modest Amalienborg Palace first．Completed in the mid-18th century，it still houses the royal family．The Danish Royal Guard is on duty．At noon，you'll watch the changing of the guard．The guards are not just for show，however．Danes will always remember their heroism on April 9，1940．When the Nazis invaded Denmark，the guards aimed their guns and fired．Soldiers fell on both sides．The guards would all have been killed if the king hadn't ordered them to surrender．
Churches and castles are almost all that remain of the original city．Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in 1445．During the late 16th century，trade grew，and so did the city．But fire in 1728 and 1795 destroyed the old wooden structures．Much of what we see today dates from the 19th and early 20th centuries．
Keep going，to the Christiansborg Palace．The town of Copenhagen began here．Stop and visit medieval castle．Parliament and the Royal Reception Chambers are open，too．
You'll usually see them dressed casually，though they are among Europe's rich people．Danes are taught not to stand out in a crowd．But they do know how to party，especially during holidays．
To see them having fun，and to have some fun yourself，cross Andersens Boulevard and enter Tivoli Gardens．You won't be alone．More than five million people a year come here．They come to dance，dine，take in outdoor and indoor concerts，see ballets and laugh at the comedy．One tip：Bring a lot of money．About 20 restaurants are among the city's most expensive．Even without money，you can still enjoy the proud old trees，the colored night lights and the beautiful gardens．You might feel as if you are in a fairy tale．

19．Abbie Conant，a musician living in Italy，was looking to move on from playing the trombone（长号） for the Royal Opera of Turin．She wrote a lot of letters，but only got one reply．It was from the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra（慕尼黑爱乐乐团）．
The audition（试音） in June 1980 took place in a museum，since the orchestra's cultural center was unavailable．There were over 30 players and each one played their piece behind a screen，meaning the selection committee（评选委员会） could only hear them play．Conant played Ferdinand David's Konzertino for Trombone，a standard piece for auditions．Being a perfectionist，Conant was angry with herself for missing a note in the piece，and was seen packing the trombone away soon after the audition in preparation to leave．
But the selection committee knew immediately that Conant was the best of all the people they'd heard that day．They asked the other players to leave，and someone went to find Conant and told her the good news．
However，events took an unexpected turn：the selection committee were waiting，sure they were going to be introduced to Mr．Conant，when in walked a woman!The whole idea of a woman-lead trombonist went against tradition．
But Conant passed the other two auditions．She joined the orchestra and played her first year successfully．But then she found out that she would be playing second trombone，basically because she was a woman．
Conant took the orchestra to court（法庭）．Though the orchestra said that Abbie Conant was not strong enough to play first trombone，she won．It took her years to prove herself in the eyes of the law，but she did it．
The orchestra then refused to pay Conant the same as men players，so she took them to court again．She knew she would win，and the result？She did．
29．Abbie Conant wrote those letters toB．

B．find a better job

6．Alone But Not Lonely
    In today's fast-paced society，we've become uncomfortable with silence．We try to find different types of activities that can help us escape feelings of laziness or boredom．（36）DSolitude（独处）does not have to be uncomfortable or lonely．In fact，solitude and loneliness are very different things．
    The death of a loved one or the inability to find people who understand you can leave you feeling lonely．Even if you are surrounded by other people，it's natural to experience an emptiness while longing for love or acceptance．（37）AGeoffrey F．Fisher once said，"In cities，no one is quiet but many are lonely．（38）E"
    We often fill loneliness with all types of unsatisfying activities．Young people would rather spend a Friday night out with strangers than spend the night alone．They're looking for a way to kill time while they await true friendship．Then there are young adults in gangs where they don't really like their companions．（39）BWhy does being alone scare us？
    Do not be afraid of silence．（40）FIt teaches you how to truly listen．It teaches you to pay attention to what's going on inside of you．Only when we are alone can we have the space and peace we need to think without being outwardly influenced．It therefore becomes easier to make important decisions as well as to reflect on how we are feeling．

A．Loneliness is therefore a feeling that can be experienced whether or not one is physically alone．
B．They would rather feel accepted on a shallow level than risk feeling alone．
C．The problem of loneliness can be easily solved in a modern world．
D．But，when doing so，the main thing we are trying to avoid is loneliness．
E．In the country，people are quiet but few are lonely．
F．It can provide you with amazing benefits．
G．It guides you through hardships．

3．Though we stopped their fight，they still stood there， each other．（　　）
