25、   Paper, pencil, whiteboard, textbook are the tools you need if you want to go to school. But recently, you can add another one to the list: an iPad.

The popular Apple tablet is not only useful for searching the Internet and watching videos, it is also being used to make learning fun.

Scientists now know that we learn better when we are enjoying ourselves, so recently software developers have made iPad applications（应用程序）that look like video games, but have strong educational content. One of the best examples of this new form of teaching application is Futaba, a game in which up to four children try to recognize a spinning（旋转的）object, and then identify what it is. The game can be used to teach English, math, foreign languages, or just about anything,and students love it. Teachers can even make their own questions. The important thing is that children enjoy the game, and don’t even realize how much they are learning!

So the next time you have to choose between making your child study or letting them play games, just remember-they could do both at the same time!

26、As an old Chinese saying goes, Spring Festival comes right after Laba Festival, so get ready for a bowl of porridge while looking forward to the long-awaited family get-together.

27、We have always been interested in the moon. 2, 000 years ago, people already knew it moves around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.

When scientists could use telescopes to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on the earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth’s gravity (重力) millions of years earlier.

In 1969, moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.

After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of the earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 billion years ago, something about the size of Mars hit the earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.

In the future, though our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it.

【1】Before 1969, most scientists thought the moon was ________.

A．part of the earth billions of years earlier

B．older than the earth

D．made of the same things as the earth

【2】What do most scientists think now about the moon and the earth?

A．The earth was once part of the moon.

B．The moon used to be part of the earth.

C．Mars will hit earth in the near future.

D．Rocks will join together to become another moon.

【3】We can learn that ________ from this passage.

A．new information brings new ideas

B．scientists in the past were not clever

C．we now know everything about the moon

D．scientists are so clever that they know everything
