When Bill is very young, he loves pictures. His mother often draws some for him on old pieces of paper. She is very bad at drawing, but Bill likes her pictures and always wants more.

Then, when he is a little older, Bill’s mother gives him some pencils and a drawing book, and he begins drawing pictures, too. But they are never good. When Bill is five years old, his mother gives him a small blackboard and some chalk(粉笔). He likes those very much. One day

he is trying to draw a picture of his father on the blackboard. He draws lines(线条)and rubs(擦)them out, draws more and rubs those out too for ten minutes, but when he looks at his picture, he is not happy. “Well,” he says at last(最后)to his mother, “I’ll put a tail(尾巴)on it and make it a monkey(猴子).”

If someone asks you “What color is the sky”, I think your answer will be “blue”. I’m afraid that you are wrong. Because the sky has no color.

What’s in the sky? Is the sky full of(充满)air? I’m sure that you have asked these questions. We all know that there is air around the world. We can not live without air. Planes can’t fly very high because as we go higher, the air gets thinner(更稀薄). If we go far enough away the earth, we can find that there is no air. The sky is space(太空). In the space there is nothing but the sun, the moon and the stars.

People always want to know more about other worlds in space. They have looked at them through telescopes(望远镜)and in this way they have known much. They know a lot about the moon now. but they want to know more about space. I’m sure they will go farther and farther until they know all about it.
