阅读理解提高训练 10 A Have you ever seen the man on the moon? If you look closely at the moon on some night, you can see the fact of the moon. Somepeople say that they can see an old man carrying stick. Others see a girl reading a book. These pictures are made by the mountains and plains of the moon. Long ago people in England used to tell their children that the moon was made of green cheese. Everyone knows that this is not true. The moon is a large round rock. It is completely bare, there are no trees or plants on the moon. There are no rivers or seas. There are no living things. It never rains on the moon, and everything is covered with dry, white dust. Not even a sound can be heard on the moon. The moon has not its own light. It shines back the light of the sun. When the sun is shining on the side of the moon that faces you, it looks like a great round ball. Sometimes you can’t see the moon because the sun is shining on the side that faces away from you. Where the sun shines on it, the moon is very hot. In the shade, however, it is as cold as ice. The moon is much smaller than the earth. If you went to the moon, it does not weigh as much as the earth. If you went to the moon, you would weigh six times less than you do now. Even a fat man would be able to jump high off the ground. From a plane you can see the fields, cities, mountains or rivers below. If you go into space, you see more and more of the earth. People and man-made satellites are sent out into space to look at the earth, the stars and the planets are around them. In a word, the moon is the nearest planet to the earth. It is smaller than the earth. Plants can ’t grow on the moon because there ’s no air or water on it. 1. We may see the pictures of the man’s face on the moon on some nights.
