It moves at 300,000 kilometers a second. Light reaches us from the moon in less than a second and a half.
15、 The moon is about 382,000 kilometers away from us. Light from the sun reaches us in 8.5 minutes. The sun is about 149,640,000 kilometers from the earth. The other stars are farther away than the sun. Light from the nearest of the other stars reaches us about four years. Light from some stars takes
16、hundreds of years to reach us. So when we look at a star, we do not see its present condition. We see it as it was long ago; perhaps hundreds or thousands of years ago. The sun is in a great group of stars. There are about 100,000,000 stars in the group. We call this group the galaxy（星系；银河） . Outsid
17、e the galaxy there is empty space; but thousands of millions of kilometers away there is another galaxy. Light from other galaxy reaches us after about 2 million years. There are millions of these galaxies; and they appear to be rushing farther and farther away from us. The astronomers at Mount Palo
18、mar and Mount Wilson and other observatories（天文台，气象站） can see some of them well; but they cant see one as it is now. The light takes millions of years to arrive here.

Air is
22、in the gaseous state. It is not in the solid or liquid state. Solids are rigid (固定的 ) and have definite(确定的 ) form while air is a colourless, tasteless, invisible gas, in fact a mixture of gases, which surrounds the planet earth. It is everywhere on the planet. An “ empty”drinking glass and an “ emp
23、ty” room, to give two examples, are not really empty. Each is filled with air. When the glass is filled with water, the water pushes the air out of the glass. Air, as a gas, has no definite shape, but because it is a kind of matter which diffuses(扩散 ), it takes up space. It is easy to prove that air
24、 is something that takes up space. Stuff(填充，塞住 ) a dry handkerchief into the bottom of glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside down. Push the upside-down glass, holding straight up and down, into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken
25、out of the water, the handkerchief will be dry. The air inside the glass took up space and kept the water from coming in. 41. According to the text, we know that matter exists in _ states.

A. all the containers are filled with air B. an invisible gas is a mixture C. air fills the container D. all of the gases are taste

A. press a handkerchief tightly into the bottom of a glass B. dip a handkerchief carefully into a glass C. tie a handkerchief firmly in a glass D. blow a handkerchief quickly into the bottom of a glass 45.

29、 London. The Hindu leaders had threatened to punish him. But he went to London anyhow. Gandhi believed in fighting without weapons or force. He called his method non-violence. He would simply disobey any unfair law or policy. He was willing to be punished for his actions. Gandhi thought that the law
30、 would be changed if enough people protested(抗议，声明反对 ) in this way. It would show how strongly the people felt about his beliefs. Gandhi wanted all Indians to understand the independence movement. He walked barefoot through the villages, speaking to all people. Many people loved and understood Gandh
31、i. His movement grew. The British flag came down in 1947. The Indian people honored Gandhi with the title Mahatma(圣雄，圣贤 ), which means “ Great soul” . Gandhi was an unusual kind of leader.
