Unit 5 1 October 2053 Flying to the Moon I'm so happy! Tomorrow I'll be one of the first students to travel into space. The spaceship will leave the Earth at 9:00 a.m. It’ll take us to the Moon. I can’t wait! The Moon is around 380,000 kilometres from the Earth, so it’ll take us about three days to get there. The gravity in space is very weak, so we’ll all be floating around in the spaceship. And we won't sleep in beds—we’ll sleep in sleeping bags. We need to tie the sleeping bag to the wall so that we won't float away in our sleep! Because of the low gravity, our bodies may get weak, so we’ll have to do exercise every day. When we arrive, I'm going to walk on the Moon. The Moon has much weaker gravity than the Earth. A person weighs much less on the Moon, so we can jump very high. I'll have to wear a spacesuit to help me breathe because there's no air on the Moon. That also means there is no sound there, We can only hear the sounds inside our spacesuits. The Moon is a strange and mysterious place. I'm going to take as many photos as I can. I'm sure that it’ll be a wonderful trip! 2053年10月1日 飞向月球 我太高兴了!明天我将成为第一批进入太空旅行的学生之一。宇宙飞船将于上午9点离开地球。它会带我们去月球。我都等不及了! 月球距离地球大约38万公里,所以我们大约需要三天的时间才能到达月球。太空中的重力非常弱,所以我们都将在宇宙飞船中漂浮。我们不会睡在床上,我们会睡在睡袋里。我们需要把睡袋系在墙上,这样我们就不会在睡觉时漂走了!因为低重力,我们的身体可能会变得虚弱,所以我们必须每天做运动。 当我们到达月球时,我要在月球上行走。月球的引力比地球弱得多。一个人在月球上的重量要轻得多,所以我们可以跳得很高。我必须穿宇航服来帮助我呼吸,因为月球上没有空气。这也意味着那里没有声音,我们只能听到宇航服里的声音。 课文填空 Unit 5 1 0ctober 2053 Flying to the Moon I'm so happy!
