Why is a full moon, yellower and bigger when it is coming up than when it is higher in the sky?
That's a good question about something that we all can see. Let's talk about the moon's color first.
We see the moon only because of the sunlight that falls on it and is reflected. Actually, the moon is not a very good reflector, because its surface is all rocks and dirt. We see it in almost its true color when it is high in the sky.
When the moon first comes up, its light reaches our eyes after an extra-long path through the atmosphere (大氣). There are lots of particles (微粒) scattering (分散) light in that long path. Blue light is scattered more than other colors, which means that it doesn't reach your eyes. The light that is left over looks yellow to your eye.
Now about the other question—why the moon seems to change in size. That's more complicated. It's not an effect of the atmosphere, the way color is; it's not caused by something fooling your eyes. It seems, instead, to be caused by something that fools your brain—an illusion(錯覺).
Here's a drawing that creates an illusion. The two cones(圓錐體) are really the same size. But the rest of the drawing makes the right-hand cone seem farther away. Your brain knows that faraway objects are really larger than they look. It decides that the right-hand cone must be larger because it seems to be farther away.
Similarly, when you see the moon just come up over a line of trees or houses—or whatever makes the horizon(地平線)—it may be that your brain decides that the moon must be larger because it seems to be farther away.
【小題1】The moon doesn't reflect the sunlight very well because________________.
A.it is high in the sky | B.its surface is rough |
C.its surface is white | D.it isn't a good reflector |
A.In the course of its rising, the moon is getting smaller and smaller |
B.The size of the moon is more complicated than its color |
C.The atmosphere has the same effect on the moon's size as on its color |
D.The change in the moon's size is caused by an illusion while that in its color is caused by the atmosphere |
A.Why is the sun bigger when it rises over the horizon? |
B.Why does the sun look bigger when it rises over the horizon? |
C.Why does the sun look golden? |
D.Why does the sun rise in the east? |
A.A novelist | B.A reporter |
C.A science editor | D.An English teacher. |

The slogan “a dog is for life, not just for Christmas” has been going strong for 27 years now. Dogs and cats have been popular Christmas gifts in the gifts in the UK and Europe for many years. But some people still haven’t quite got the message.
The slogan still holds good. Some 105,000 dogs were rounded up by local government last year because they had been abandoned, many of them shortly after the festival season.
The main reason given by owners for handing their dogs over to the Dogs Trust is that the dogs need more attention than they can give; behavioral problems and moving home are also reasons given.
But Eleanor Silk, the Trust’s communications director, says, “It’s often four or five months after Christmas, in early summer, when owners find that the dog has got too big and too active, or it hasn’t been trained properly and has caused damage around the home.”
In any case, some organizations that help pets are quick to point out that if you are serious about getting a puppy(小狗) as a pet, Christmas is not the time to do it. Puppies need to get used to their new surroundings, to be introduced to a routine, and to be looked after like small children. It’s hard to meet any of these needs at Christmas. What’s more, pulling a puppy out of a Christmas stocking in itself sends the wrong message to children. It encourages children to think of the puppy as a toy, rather than a responsibility.
Appreciating what you’re taking on with a dog can be a sobering (清醒的) realization. “For life” means thinking about the effect they’ll have on your life. It also infers you will need to care for the dog for its whole life.
【小題1】What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Dogs and Cats—the Most Popular Christmas Gifts. |
B.A pet is for Life, Not just for Christmas. |
C.How to Take Care of Your Pets over Christmas. |
D.Let’s Help Those Abandoned Pets |
A.Pets spread some diseases. |
B.Pets damage some things in the house. |
C.The owners can’t take good care of the pets. |
D.The owners have to move to other places. |
A.given out as gifts |
B.thrown away |
C.gathered into one place |
D.raised to make money |
A.how to take best care of Christmas pets |
B.the right time to have a puppy as a pet |
C.the reasons why Christmas is not the time to get a pet |
D.the worries about Christmas pets from organizations that help pets |
A.Because these dogs can still cause damage. |
B.Because children will not take dogs seriously. |
C.Because children don’t like to have dogs as Christmas gifts. |
D.Because a Christmas stocking is not big enough to put a dog in. |

Laptop computers (筆記本電腦)are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff(全體員工)use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything."
1.The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to _____.
A. use for their schoolwork
