rs and planets？ Stars can give out heat and light, but planets cannot.

The sun is one of the stars.Some planets are balls of rock and some are balls of gas.We live on the planet earth.The earth spins around once every day to give us day and night.The earth goes around the sun once every year to give us different seasons.

There are eight planets moving around the sun.We call the family of the sun and its planets the solar system.Mercury is the nearest to the sun, so it is very hot.It is the smallest planet.Venus is very bright and hot.It is the nearest to the earth.Mars is covered with orange-red desi and rocks, so it looks like a red star in the sky.It has seasons like the earth.Jupiter has more than 16 moons (卫星)and it is the biggest and heaviest planet.Saturn has more than 22 moons.The other planets, such as Uranus and Neptune, are all very far from the sun and very cold.We need a telescope (望远镜) to see them.

(1)The sun can give us().

A.heat and water

B.heat and light

C.light and air

D.rock and water

(2)The Chinese meaning of "spin around" is().

A.飞行

B.Uranus is very far from the sun and very cold.

C.The revolution(公转) of the earth gives us different seasons.

flashier, its claim to fame is that, though it had been thought extinct since 1944, a lone kayaker spotted it about two years ago, flying around among the cypress trees in the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge. And that sighting may prove the death-blow to a $319m irrigation project in the Arkansas corner of the Delta.

The Grand Prairie Area Demonstration Project seemed, at first, a fine idea. The Grand Prairie is the fourth-largest rice-bowl in the world, with 363,000 acres under paddies. But it is running out of water, with farmers driving wells deeper and deeper into the underlying aquifer. The new project, dreamed up around a decade ago, would tap excess water from the White river when it floods and pumps it, at the rate of about one billion gallons a day, to storage tanks on around 1000 rice farms.

Unfortunately, it would also divert water from the region's huge, swampy wildlife refuges, home to black bears and alligators and the pallid sturgeon. Tiny swamp towns like Clarendon and Brinkley, which are heavily black and almost destitute, rely on nature tourism for the little economic activity they have. In Brinkley, the barber offers an "ivorybill" haircut that makes you look like one.

The project has some powerful local backers. They include Blanche Lincoln, the state's senior senator, who grew up on a rice farm in Helena, and Dale Bumpers, a former four-term senator and governor of Arkansas. Mr. Bumpers, long an icon of the environmental movement and prominent in the efforts to establish the refuges, now believes the water project is important for national security in food and trade, and that it will not damage the forests he has worked to protect.

Opponents worry that the project, apart from its environmental risks, will overwhelm the innovative water conservation methods that rice-farmers are already using, and give the biggest water users an unfair advantage. They also object that it means using subsidised pumps to provide subsidised water for a crop that doesn't pay. Rice is one of the most heavily assisted crops in America; rice payments cost taxpayers almost $10 billion between 1995 and 2004, and rich farmers round Stuttgart in Arkansas County (an efficient and politically shrewd group) took in $21.2m in subsidies in 2004 alone.

It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ______.

A．an ivory-billed woodpecker was shot by a lone kayaker two years ago.

B．the ivory-billed woodpecker was accustomed to living among cypress trees.

C．the irrigation project is probably broken off by the ivory-billed woodpecker.

D．the appearance of the ivory-billed woodpecker may make the irrigation project terminated.

m does not look like the food you eat. Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it. All the water is removed from the food. In the spaceship the astronaut puts the water back. He "shoots" hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun. He eats the food through a small hole in the bag.

Other foods come in bite size. The astronaut puts a whole piece in his mouth at once. There can be no crumbs. Crumbs would float around the spaceship and get in the way. Meat and cake often come in bite-sixed pieces. Astronauts can' t drink water from open cups. The water would float in drops in the air. The water is put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth. Eating in space is not easy. Astronauts must learn this way.

Some space foods are carded in ______ .

A．water guns

B．lunch boxes

C．closed bags

D．food bags

nd 10:00 a.m.our car got stuck in the sand! We spent about three hours trying to pull out the car without any progress.Finally, we decided to walk.As it was hard for an old man or a young boy to walk more than 40km in the desert, I decided to get help myself.I took a bottle of water with me and started to walk south alone.I knew the way well, but it was a long way in the sand.I walked more than four hours without stopping.When I felt so tired and thirsty, I stopped to rest.I drank all the water and slept for around two hours.

Why didn’t the three walk back together after the car got stuck in the sand？()

A、They didn’t have enough food and water.

B、The writer knew where to get a camel or a car.

C、The writer knew a Bedouin who lived nearby would give help.

D、The long desert walk was too hard for the young and the old.
