the explorers (探险者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground
cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people"
expressed their surprise. "Why," they asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don"t even
use your inner space?"
H. G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the
moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question
that the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously
thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some
cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The
"Chunnel", a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.Uncle Tom gave little
Vicki Black a birthday gift one week before her birthday. He told her not to open it until her birthday.
She knew her mother wouldn"t tolerate any disrespect to the kind man who helped them out after
Vicki"s father passed away. Besides, Vicki didn"t want Uncle Tom to get angry. But little Vicky didn"t
want to just hold it and guess what was in it. After all, she looked forward to his coming to show her
interesting things, like how to turn an old sock into a doll.
All the day, Vicki couldn"t stop thinking about the gift. While her teacher was giving a lecture? Vicki
sat still in her seat, drawing paper dolls inside the box. When school was done, she raced home.
Walking into the room, again, she shook the present, but she heard nothing. Holding her breath, she
opened the box and looked inside. Seconds later, she cried. When Mrs. Black saw the box, she said
angrily, "Didn"t I tell you to leave it alone?" Vicki sobbed and said, "Mommy, you don"t understand."
"Don"t cry to me. You have missed everything now, just because you couldn"t wait," Mrs. Black
accused. "What will Uncle Tom think now?"
"Uncle Tom gave me nothing," Vicki cried and handed the empty box to her mother. "He played
a trick on me."
Mrs. Black said doubtfully, "Uncle Tom is not like that. You must have dropped it."
Vicki kept crying. Only a rapid knock on the door made the house quiet. It was Uncle Tom. He
looked at the empty box. "You have already done it? I told you to wait for your birthday."
"You didn"t give me a gift." Fresh tears filled her eyes.
"I try to give you something. I know your birthday is a special day. I tell myself to give you
something valuable to last your whole life. I think hard and get the idea to give you an important lesson.
If you open it on birthday, I see you learn. Then I will make a big party to celebrate. Maybe next year
you listen and then you will understand the gift better."

One of these, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo da Vinci. In the sixteenth century he
made designs for machines that could fly. But they were never built.,
Throughout history, other less famous men have wanted to fly. An example was a man in England
800years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and
jumped into the air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. He fell to the ground and broke every
bone in his body.
The first real step took place in France in 1783. Two brothers, the Mongolfiers, made a very large
"hot air balloon". They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it? The balloon was made of
cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon.
They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a
chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted 8 minutes
and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above
Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about 8
kilometers.

1 This date was the old mid-winter festival in pre-Christmas times, around the time
of the longest night and the shortest day. Christmas in the 21st century has many traditions:
Christmas trees, cards and presents. Shops can make about 60 percent of their year"s income
in the three months before Christmas, so most shops get ready for it in October. 2 The first
time this happened was in 1867 when Macy"s famous shop in New York, stayed open until
midnight on Christmas Eve.
By mid-December, almost every shop and street has a Christmas tree. 3 In the northern
countries, winter is cold and dark and most trees are decorated with lights and colored glass
balls give people hope that spring will come.
Father Christmas is known across the world with his white hair, red coat and big bag of toys.
Young children are told that he lives in the north of Finland and makes toys for them. 4
On Christmas Day a traditional meal is eaten, usually a turkey and a rich, spicy cake. Some
people hate Christmas. 5 They love seeing family and friends; they also love the traditions.
Love it or hate it, Christmas is a time to look back over the old year and forward to the new one.
B. Believe it or not.
C. Since about 400 AD, Christmas Day has been celebrated.

after his wife Martha, and it was also in memory of the thick growth of wild vines (葡萄) on the land.
The island of Martha"s Vineyard lies south of Cape Cod off the Southern eastern coast of
Massachusetts, United States. It is nearly 20 miles long and runs from 2 to 10 miles in width. There are
wide, hard beaches on the southern side. The north is hilly, but in the south and eastern parts there are
wide areas of open land covered with wild flowers.
The island was discovered early in the 17th cen-tury. The Indians were quiet and friendly, and the
newcomers fished for a living, making a lot of money from whaling (捕鲸). With the decline (衰落) of
whaling and sailing ships, Martha"s Vineyard was almost for-gotten until about 60 years ago when people began to buy the old houses of the whaling captains and the sheds of the fishermen near the beaches. Now people go there year after year for their summer holidays.
B. the population of the island
C. the scenery of the island
D. the value of the island
B. ship building industry developed rapidly
C. most of the Vineyard lay waste
D. a lot of fishermen left the island
and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren"t in film school yet and aren"t,
strictly speaking, even adults?
They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Films Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director
might envy: Lincoln Center. Complete with "red carpet" interviews and various awards, the festival
has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the
participants: about 8 to 18.
"What"s really exciting is that it"s film for kids by kids," said Cori Gardner, managing director of
Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This
year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and
one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. "We want to make this a national event," Ms. Gardner
added.
The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B.B. King to a science fiction
adventure set in the year 3005. "A lot of the material is really mature," Ms. Gardner said, talking
about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training
group. "The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of
secondhand smoke." Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants" feelings of both belonging
and not belonging in their adopted country.
The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a
music video and full-length film whose title is Pressures.
