A group of old classmates, who have succeeded in their work, got together to visit their old university professor. The conversation soon turned to complaining about the stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and many cups-china(瓷), plastic and glass, some plain(朴素的) looking, some expensive and some lovely. The professor told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “Can you notice all the nice looking expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones? While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source(根源) of your problems and stress.”
“What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you went for the best cups and were eyeing each other’s cups.”
“Now think about this: life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and do not change the quality of life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cups, we fail to enjoy the coffee. So don’t let the cups drive you, enjoy the coffee instead.” What did the group of old classmates get together for?

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（资源）， we are short of（缺乏）others, for example，fresh water（淡水）. It is reported that we will have no coal（煤or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources，what can we use in the future and where can we move？Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life，we can do many things to prevent waste from happening，for example， turn off the water taps（水龙头） when we finish washing，turn off the lights when we leave the classroom，try not to order more food than we need and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best. From the passage we know that some students often _______ in the school.
| A．eat too much | B．don‘t work hard |

Scientists are very interested in the Universe，and they always want to know more about it. Years ago they knew many things about the moon. They knew how big it is and how far away it is from the earth. But they wanted to know more about it. They thought the best way was to send men to the moon. The moon is about 384,000 kilometers away from the earth. A plane cannot fly to the moon because the air reaches only 240 kilometers away from the earth. But something can fly even when there is no air. That is a rocket(火箭)
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 space. Rockets with men in them have been to the moon. Several rockets without men in them have flown to another planet(行星) much farther away than the moon. One day, rockets may be able to go to any place in space.Scientists knew ____________ the moon is.
