The Mid-autumn Festival of this year falls on Tuesday, August 28(the 15th day of the eighth lunar(农历)month).It is one of the three big traditional(传统的)Chinese festivals.The other two are the Spring Festival and the Dragon-Boat Festival(龙舟节).
In China, there are many beautiful stories about the moon.What is the moon like in the eyes of the Westerners(西方人)? Please read the following:
Have you ever seen the man in the moon? If you look at the moon on some nights, you can see the face of the man in the moon.Some people say that they can see an old man carrying a stick.Others see a girl reading a book.These pictures are made by the mountains and plains(平原)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(岩石).There are no trees or plants on the moon.There are no rivers or seas.There are no living things.It never rains on the moon, and everything is covered with dry, white dust(灰尘).Not even can a sound be heard on it.
When the sun shines on it, the moon is very hot.In the shade(阴影), however, it is as cold as ice.The moon is much smaller than the earth.If you went to the moon, you would weigh(称重)six times less than now.Even a fat man would be able to jump high off the ground.
