There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world. But only a few of them are very important. English is one of them. Many, many people use it, not only in England and the USA, but also in other parts of the world. About 200, 000, 000 people speak it as their own language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it as a foreign language. Millions of people are trying to do so. Is it easy or difficult to learn English Different people may have different answers. Have you ever noticed ads(广告) of this kind in the newspapers or magazines "Learn English in six weeks, or give your money back. . . " "Easy and funny. . . " "Our records and tapes help you master English in a month."Of course, it never happened quite like that.
The only language that seems easy to learn is the mother tongue. We should remember that we all learned our own language well when we were children. If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He tries what he hears. So it is hard to say that learning English is easy. We must do a lot of practice. And practice needs great efforts(努力) and takes much time. Good teachers, records, tapes, books, and dictionaries will be helpful, but they cannot do the student's work for him.

（3）Which language is easy to learn
A．English. B．Chinese.
C．Japanese. D．The mother tongue.
（4）If we want to learn English well, what shall we do
A．We should study it without any help.
B．We must do a lot of practice.
C．We need to get much money back.
D．We must live in England or America.

Scientists have always wanted to know more about the universe.

The moon is about 384,000 kilometres away from the Earth. A plane cannot fly to the moon, because the air reaches only 240 kilometres away from the Earth. But something can fly even when there is no air. That is the rocket.
How does a rocket fly There is gas (气体) in the rocket. When the gas is made very hot inside the rocket, it will rush out of the end of the rocket, so it can make the rocket fly up into the sky.
Rockets can fly out into the space. Rockets with men in them have been to the moon. Several satellites without men in them have flown to another planet much farther away than the moon. One day rockets may be able to go to any place in space.
