The sun sends out heat and light radiation (辐射 ). Life on the earth depends on heat and light. But the sun also sends

23、 out dangerous kinds of radiation. The earths atmosphere protects us from most of them. On the moon, however, there is no atmosphere to stop the radiation. All the suns rays beat down on the surface of the moon. Because there is no atmosphere, the moons surface is either extremely hot or extremely c

24、old. As the moon circles around the earth, the side of it that is lighted up by the sun becomes very hot. The temperature there reaches more than 300 degrees Fahrenheit (华氏温度 ).

29、ildren. My aunt and uncle always come heavily loaded with enough food and wine for a whole army. My brother Sal and the gang usually show up an hour early and empty-handed. Joanns family is usually late while Richards group generally arrives on time, bearing gifts for everyone. I am in charge of get

30、ting the Christmas tree. Plenty of food is served at the dinner table, and all the hours of preparation are wolfed down in a matter of minutes. Along with the yearly repeated menu comes the yearly repeated conversation. Everyone talks about how good the food tastes. My mother then talks about all th

31、e supermarkets from which the fish was bought. This begins our period of comparison shopping. For at least 30 minutes, we show how better we are than each other at mentioning the bargains we have found. Personally, I do not feel the need to be with a crowd on Christmas Eve.

37、When eating a five-course meal-a frequent event during the holiday season-guests neednt feel frightened by the variety of knives and spoons before them.
