The word “day” has two meanings.When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours.But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset.Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time.Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night.A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋轉(zhuǎn))of the earth.At the equator(赤道)day and night are sometimes the same length(長度).They are each twelve hours long.The sun rises at 6 o'clock in the morning and sets at 6 o'clock in the evening.For six months the North Pole is tilted(傾斜)toward the sun.In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球)gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere.Days are longer than nights.South of the equator nights are longer than days.For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun.Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight.Days are longer than nights.North of the equator nights are longer than days.Winter is the season of long nights.Summer is the season of long days.

  President (總統(tǒng)) George W Bush is visiting an elementary school today and visits one of the 4th grade classes. They are in the middle of a discussion(討論) of words and their meanings.

  The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word“tragedy”. So the President asks the class for an example of a“tragedy”.

  One little boy stands up and says,“If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy.”

  “No,”says Bush,“that would be an accident.”

  A little girl puts up her hand,“If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff(懸崖), killing everyone in the bus, that would be a tragedy.”

  “I am afraid not,”explains the President.“That is what we would call a GREAT LOSS(損失).”

  The room goes quiet. No other children answer. President Bush looks around the mom.“Is not there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”

  At last, in the back of the room, a boy named Johnny puts up his hand. In a quiet voice he says,“If Air Force One, carrying you and Mrs Bush, was hit by a missile(導(dǎo)彈) and blown up to pieces, that would be a tragedy.”

  “Right,”exclaims(大叫)Bush,“that is right, and can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?”

  “Well,”little Johnny says,“because, as you just told us, it would not be an accident, and it sure as well would not be a great loss.”

1.President Bush tells the students ________.

[  ]

A.to welcome him

B.to give an example

C.to make a sentence

D.to ask some questions

2.Johnny is ________.

D.on the left

3.Air Force One is ________.

C.a(chǎn) plane
D.空軍

4.“Tragedy”means ________.

[  ]

A.交通事故
B.重大損失
C.悲劇
D.悲哀

5.What does the sentence“…and it sure as well would not be a great loss”mean?

[  ]

A.Of course, it's not a great loss, either.

B.It's OK that it would not be a great loss.
