Even if you are a good high-jumper, you can jump only about seven feet off the ground. You cannot jump any higher because the earth pulls you hard. The pull of the earth is called gravity.
You can easily find out the pull of the earth. If you weigh yourself, you will know how much gravity is pulling you.
Since there is gravity, water runs down hill. When you throw a ball into the air, it falls back down. Because of gravity, you do not fall off the earth as it whirls (旋转) around.
Then, can we get away from the earth and go far out into space? Now you can do it, because spaceships have been invented. Then spaceship will go so fast that it can escape (逃出) the earth’s gravity and carry you into space.The word “gravity” in the passage means “______”.
A. the pull of everything
B. the pull of the earth
C. the pull of the sunWhich of the following is not because of gravity?
A. Water runs down hill.
B. We can jump high.
C. A ball falls back down to the ground.We can get away from the earth by spaceship because_______.
A. the spaceship goes very fast

There is a Chinese proverb（谚语）, “I hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand.” Do you know it? Maybe you will say, “Sorry, I don’t.” But you will see this proverb on the walls of classroom in an American middle school. Many Americans think it is the truth of learning.
What does this proverb tell us? Practice! When you are learning a text, if you just listen to your teacher and do nothing, you will forget it quickly; if you read it several times, you will remember it; but if you preview the text before class and solve some problems yourself, you will understand it.
When we have formed good study habits, we learn things quickly and remember things easily. Do you sometimes copy other’s homework? It is not good. No matter how difficult the homework is, you must try to do it by yourself and finish it on time. If you practice again and again, nothing will be difficult.
When you are having classes, don’t forget to take notes. Every evening you must take out the notes and review what you have learned today. Before doing homework, do not forget to clean your desks. A clean desk will make you feel comfortable.

A. Learning is very important.
B. Practice is very important.
C. Previewing is very important.If we form the good study habits, we will______.
A. learn things quickly

That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.
