Not long ago, there was a story in Russia about ZHUOYA and SHULA. They were sister and brother. They were in 1 same class of a middle school. They studied hard. They were　 2　 strict 　3 themselves. Their homework was given the day before. SHULA was clever. He had done his homework earlier. But ZHUOYA hadn’t yet. The next afternoon she went on doing hers.

SHULA thought his sister maybe couldn’t finish some of the exercises. So he put his exercise-book with answers on his sister’s desk before ZHUOYA came in the classroom, and went out quietly to play. A few minutes later, ZHUOYA came in and saw her brother’s exercise-book on her desk. But she had never looked at it all. She sat on her seat, thinking and thinking. Five minutes, ten minutes, half an hour had 4 . An hour and a half 5 , she worked out all problems at last and handed it in on time that afternoon. How happy she was!

“Why not copy my key down in 6 , sister?” asked SHULA with a smile. “No, I didn’t. I must use my head and try my 　7 to 　8 all by myself. I’m sure, I can 9 a way. I don’t like to be lazy in 10 homework,” answered ZHUOYA.

When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.

Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.

25. You can see the book because__________.

A. your eyes are close to it　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. your eyesight can get to it

C. it has light of its own　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. it reflects some of the sunlight

A. visible（可见的）　 B. all colors　　　　　　　 C. giving off light　　　　 D. sunlight

27. Which of the following is true?　

A. All the things you can see give off light.

B. Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.

C. Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.

D. The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.
