If you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before, it might be a comet （彗星）．
A comet sometimes looks like a star．Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own．It shines from the sunlight it reflects （反射）．Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but on a much longer path （轨道） than the earth travels．
If a comet isn’t a star, what is it then?
Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock．When sunshine melts （融化） the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it．These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail．
Many people perhaps have seen a comet．However no one knows how many comets there are．There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see．
An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky．Some comets move out of our sight and never come back．Others keep coming back at regular times．A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley because he was the one who worked out when it would come back again．Maybe you have ever seen Halley’s Comets because the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986．Then people all over the world were outside at night to look at it．You will probably be able to see Halley’s Comets when it comes near the earth again．A comet is like ________．
| A．sun | B．moon | C．sunlight | D．the earth |

Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. “I got a red flower today. Could you please sign this note?” he said to mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.
Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is “OK”, but he often gets “You can do better than this.” Mum knows what it means. She tells me “You can do better than this” means “Extremely bad” in China.
In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is “Please be nicer tomorrow”. Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject.
But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spend more time on homework than I did when I was 6th grade in the US! Yet his parents and teachers didn’t think he worked hard enough.
Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.Why did Ted come home with a letter last Friday?
| A．Because the teacher wanted to visit his mother. |
| B．Because he did something wrong. |
| C．Because the teacher was happy with his progress. |
| D．Because the teacher thought he was too lazy. |
