Everyone has a name. Names are different in different countries. Chinese
usually have two, three or four Chinese words in a name. They put their family
name first and then the given name. But in England and America the last name is
the family name. To many people the meaning of the name is important. Fathers
and mothers always want to give beautiful names to girls and great names to
boys. People use Mr, Mrs, Ms or Miss before their family name. In foreign
countries children can call their father or mother’s name directly(直接地). But in China they can never do that
because it is not polite.
( )1. In China, the first
name is the family names.
( )2. Americans put their
family names first.
( )3. If your English teacher
is Sally Green, you can call your teacher Ms
Sally.
( )4. Usually, people give boys
beautiful names.
( )5. It’s impolite to call
your parents’ names in China.
B
If someone asks you, “What color is the sky?” I think the answer will be “blue”. I’m afraid that you are wrong. Because the sky has no color.
What’s in the sky? Is the sky full of air? I’m sure that you have asked these questions. We all know that there’s air all around the world. We can not live without air. Planes can’t fly very high because as they go higher, the air gets thinner. If we go far enough away from the earth, we can find that there is no air. The sky is space. In this space there is nothing but sun, the moon and the stars.
People always want to know more about other worlds in space. They have looked at them through telescopes (望远镜) and in this way they have known much. They know a lot about the moon now. But they want to know more about space. I’m sure they will go farther and farther until they know all about it.
