Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new house in Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I wanted very much to see his new place and meet his friends.
In my earliest memories my father was a tall, handsome and successful man. He loved his work and family, but was uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I was afraid of him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's in my study and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as successful as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to try hard to think up things to say to protect myself.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son's funny talks. My father's critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules were gone. He seemed so friendly and interesting to be with us.
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me many stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I'm at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I, m happy with my new friend. My dad, in this new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

Our nearest neighbor is the moon. In the sky, the moon and the sun seem to be of the same size because the moon is much nearer.
The moon makes the tides-the changes in the level of the sea. The moon and the sun together pull the sea. In some parts of the world, the difference between "the high tide"（when the sea is very near to the land) and “the low tide”（when the sea is far away from the land) is very big. This is very important to ships.
The moon is very different from the earth. Gravity on the moon is about six times weaker than that on the earth. There isn't any air. During the day, it is very, very hot but at night it is very, very cold. Nothing can live on the moon.
If the moon goes between the earth and the sun, we have an eclipse of the sun(日食）。 The moon stops the light from the sun and we have night in the day.
If the earth goes between the moon and the sun, we have an eclipse of the moon(月食）。 The moon goes into the shadow(影子） of the earth and it disappears for a few minutes.
36. When the sea is far away from the land, we call it___.
A. the high tide B. the low tide
C. shadow D. gravity
37. Gravity on the earth is about ___stronger than that on the moon.
A. five times B. six times
C. seven times D. eight times
38.When the moon goes between the earth and the sun, we have night in the day, and we call it the eclipse of___.
A. the moon B. the sun C. the stars D. the earth
39.Which of the following happens when we have an eclipse of the moon
A. The earth goes between the moon and the sun.
B. The moon goes into the shadow of the sun.
C. The moon goes into the shadow of its own.
D. The sun disappears for a few minutes.

Dear Passenger 15A,
You don't know me. I was seated in front of you during the flight from Singapore to Sydney on 12th April.

Though I bought an economy(经济)seat, you offered me a full-back massage(按摩)by repeatedly kicking(踢)the back of my chair.
I didn't pay for the in-flight entertainment package and I was worried that I might get bored. But my worry was unnecessary. You were talking so loudly, as if your friend was seated far away from you. Perhaps she's hard of hearing For the first time in my life, I wished I had a hearing problem.
Could you tell me where you bought those snacks They must be delicious because you got one open every 30minutes.Thanks for the loud chewing sounds!
At this point, I thought, "It can't get any better than this,” But soon, my nose was assaulted(使难受)by a terrible smell! It was so nice of you to take off your shoes and put your feet between my seat and the plane window.
Did you know that you have made me a more religious(虔诚的) person I said more prayers in that eight-hour flight than I had in my whole life.

录音中有一篇短文，是介绍宇宙的一段信息。听短文两遍后，请你根据表格内容提示，记录相关信息，完成表格（每空一词）。
When humans began to search the skies , they saw a lot of things . In the universe , the earth seemed to be just a small bit of dust . It is only a small planet , and travels around the sun . The sun , together with its planets , travels in the Milky Way , our Galaxy . The Milky Way has over one hundred billion stars like the sun , and is one of about a hundred billion galaxies in the universe .
Because the space is so great , it is difficult to work out how far away a star is . Instead of kilometres , we have light years . A light year means the distance light travels in one year . Our nearest neighbour galaxy is about 2,540,000 light years away from the earth .
