Passage 1
In 1901，H.G.Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expresd their surpri to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expresd their surpri. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even u 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 riously 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 “Channel”，a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.
But what about underground cities？Japan’s Taii Corporation is designing a net work of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome would cover the whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to u the earth’s space. The space, they say, can be ud for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G.Wells “moon people” would agree. Would you?

From far out in space, Earth looks like a blue ball. Since water covers three-fourths of the Earth’s surface, blue is the color we e most. The continents look brown, like small islands floating in the huge, blue a. White clouds cover around the Earth like a light blanket. The Earth is shaped like a sphere, or a ball. It is 25,000 miles around! It would take more than a year to walk around the whole planet. A spaceship can fly around the widest part of the sphere in only 90 minutes.
Even though spaceships have traveled to the Moon, people cannot visit the Moon without special suits. The Moon has no air or water. Plants and animals can’t live there either. Astronauts first landed on the Moon in 1969. After that, there were six more trips to the Moon. They brought back Moon rocks, which scientists are still studying. There are holes, or craters, all over the Moon’s surface. Scientists believe that meteorites（陨石）smashed into the Moon millions of years ago and formed the craters.
The Sun is the clost star to Earth. A star is a hot ball of burning gas. The Sun looks very big becau it is so clo. But the Sun is just a medium-sized star. Billions of far-awa
