What is the sky？ Where is it？ How bright is it？ What lies above it？ These questions are difficult to answer, aren’t they？
Is the sky blue？ The sky has no color. We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can’t fly very high because the air gets thinner when they go up higher. If we go up about 1,200 kilometers from the earth, we’ll find no air there.
When we talk about the sky, we usually mean the atmosphere around the earth. It is like a very thick “cover” over the earth and keeps it warm. Without the “cover”, the earth would be a very cold place and nothing could live on it.
Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue, but the sky would be dark blue if you go to the top of the highest mountains. And you will see fewer clouds between you and the sun.
And if you sit in a spaceship high above the earth, there is no air at all. The sky would be so dark that its color would be black.
Sometimes the sky doesn’t look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. These are the most beautiful moments of the day.
Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters (散射) the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no light and no colors.

We would like some help!
Sandy: Please help me. I am a girl from America. I can’t learn Chinese well. My Chinese teacher always speaks too fast. Many of my friends think Chinese is easy. But I don’t! I can’t get many points. Sometimes, I can’t understand what the teacher says in class. How I hope I can have a pen friend from China.
Jim: I am too short. I am only 1.6 meters tall. I like playing basketball, but they all say I can’t be a good basketball player. How can I be as tall as CBA players? Can short boys play basketball? I hope someone can teach me how to play basketball well.
Joan: I want to be a slim girl. Some of my friends say I am too fat. Is it because my parents are fat, too? Am I a pretty girl? When I see those slim girls, my eyes are green. I hope to know some ways to be slimmer.
Danny: I need friends. I am sad because I don’t have many good friends to chat with. I am not good at talking. And my face turns red when I am with many people. I want to have many friends. Can you tell me how to make friends with other children?

When we talk about how teenagers are getting worse and worse now, most young people don’t agree. Teenagers always say they are growing up. They can have part-time jobs. They can drive cars. And they can even get married when they’re a little bit older.
Their parents say, “Our children are very good. They like pop music, but they play it in their own rooms. They help with the housework at home. You know they feel bored sometimes because there’s nothing interesting in the neighborhood, no clubs and no sports. They have nothing to do.
A teacher says that he believes most young people are very kind. He thinks that it’s not bad for young people to like loud music because it can give them lots of energy and make them feel excited .Also, a lot of young people work very hard at school, and they can get good jobs later.
Lewis, a sixteen-year-old boy said, “I have passed all my examinations, but I can’t get a part-time job because older people always think I’m lazy.”
In my opinion(观点), a lot of teenagers are very kind. They belong to community work groups. They help old people, and they also volunteer in local hospitals or primary schools to help look after the sick people and younger students.
