  If you have no special plans for your holidays, why not spend your time helping others?

  I'm going to help the Forest Centre build new hiking paths in the mountains. It's going to be terrific-I'll spend the whole summer living in a tent and breathing the clean mountain air. I'm going to sleep under the stars. It will be a nice sport, and I'll be able to do something good at the same time!

Jason Moore, 18

  This summer, I'm going to volunteer with Special House Program. They build good, low-cost houses and sell them to families that are not very rich. They'll teach me what to do. So I'll help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses.

Trish Anderson, 16

  I'm going to teach kids who have trouble in reading. I'll work for a program called Reading For Life. Every day, I'm going to help kids choose and read books that they like. I want to be a teacher, and I love children and reading, so this is going to be a great experience for me.

  You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year.You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly.

  Perhaps you have been told about some habits (習(xí)慣) which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.

  Do you still have any of these bad habits?Check yourself by answering“yes”or“no”to these questions.

     We know that there is air around the earth. We will find there is less air or no air if we go far enough away from the earth. But when    planes fly they need air to lift their wings (機(jī)翼). But planes can't fly very high because the air gets thinner and thinner when    they go higher and higher. Perhaps we can answer some of the questions now. What is the sky? Nothing, where is it? It is all    around the earth. The sky is space (空間). In this space there is nothing but the sun, the moon, the earth and all the stars.
