This morning, a boy of twelve saw a small fire at one end of a ship. Tom left home very early, against the wishes of his father, to see the ships at the port. It was a good thing that he did, because there was nobody else around, and the small fire grew dangerously big very soon.
Tom stood near the ship and shouted at the top of his voice. He woke up the port workers living nearby.
The ship was one of the six big ships in port at the time and they were all carrying oil（石油）and paper.
The fire burned hundblacks of boxes of paper, so it spread very quickly. The end of the ship was black with smoke, but thanks to Tom, the fire didn't reach the oil.
Tom was also lucky, because his father was pleased rather than angry with him.

Science has told us so much about the moon that it is quite easy to form an idea of what it would be like to go there. It is certainly not a friendly place. As there is no air or water, there can be no life of any kind. Mile after mile there are only plains(平原) of dust with mountains around them. Above, the sun and stars shine in the black sky. If you step out of the mountains shadows, it will mean moving from terrible cold into great heat. The moon is also a very silent(安静的) world, for sound waves (声波)can only travel through air.
