Dear Shirley,
Thank you for showing me around Wurzburg last month. I will never forget the time with you in your city. Next week, my parents will take me to Thailand. I am very excited.
We will get to the airport early on August 1. I love taking the plane because I can see the clouds clearly from the window. It will take us four hours to get to Thailand.
We plan to stay at a hotel in Pattaya (芭堤雅) on the first day. We will go to a beach, play different water sports and see a show in the evening there. I think we will have a lot of fun.
On the second day, we will go to Bangkok (曼谷). We want to take some photos in front of the temples and have a walk in the garden. We will have dinner in a restaurant by a lake.
On the last day, we will go to a shopping mall. I want to buy a T-shirt. Mom wants to buy a beautiful bag. And my father wants to buy a hat and a pair of sunglasses. In the evening we will go back home.
I hope you can take the trip with us too.
Yours,
Susan

There are many stories and poems about the Moon in Chinese history. And nowadays scientists send spaceships to the Moon. Why? Because people are always interested in the Moon and want to know more about it. Here is some information (信息) about it. Let’s see it together.
The Moon looks beautiful and bright at night. It is far away from the Earth and if you want to get to the Moon, it will take you about 6 months to get there by car at 95km per hour.
There is no gravity on the Moon, so people can enjoy floating there. If you weigh (有……重) 68kg on Earth, you will weigh only 11kg on the Moon.
There are many interesting places such as craters (陨石坑), mountains, and lava plains (熔岩平原) on the Moon. There is no air on the Moon, so people can’t breathe on it.
On Earth, the day is usually warm and the night is cool. And there are four different seasons in a year. But on the Moon, the temperature is very high during the day and very low at night. And a foil day on the Moon, from the sunrise to the next, lasts about 29.5 Earth days on average (平均).
The Moon doesn’t have its own light. It looks bright because it can reflect (反射) light from the Sun. When the Moon moves around the Earth, it gets different light from the Sun. So we find its size often changes.

A. Because it is a symbol (象征) of beauty.
B. Because people in the past loved it.
C. Because people have an interest in it and want to know more-about it.
D. Because people want to live there.
2.If you are 45kg on Earth, how much will you weigh on the Moon?
A. Less than 5kg.
B. About 7kg.
C. 9kg.
D. Over 10kg.
3.What can we know about the Moon?
A. People can go to the Moon by car now.
B. People can live on it easily.
C. There are four seasons on it.
D. If you stay on the Moon for two days, you will spend about fifty-nine days on Earth.
4.What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A. The Moon. B. The Earth.
C. The Sun. D. The light.
5.Why does the writer write the passage?
