If you drop a feather and a hammer ( 鐵錘） , which do you think will hit the ground first?
On his last moon walk in 1971,Apollo 15's Commander David Scott did his final 21 for the television cameras. Scott was re-creating an experiment 22 by the astronomer Galileo in 1590.
If you guess that the 23 would hit the ground first,you' re not alone. When Galileo was a boy,everyone 24 that heavier things fell faster. A rock twice as heavy as a potato should fall twice as fast. That's what they 25 in school.

Why? Falling objects fall 31 the pull of gravity between the object and Earth. And the tremendous (巨大的) force of Earth's gravity is the same whether it's 32 on a feather or a hammer.
But wait,you say — feathers do fall more 33 than hammers. That's quite true,on Earth — but the 34 is air,not gravity. Air pushes against light feathers enough to hold them up,but it isn't 35 enough to hold up a heavy hammer. This pushing of air 36 people for a long time.
The moon has no 37 to slow a falling object. But it does have gravity. The moon's gravity is 38than Earth's,since the,moon is smaller. But it's still strong enough for dropping things.
And sure enough,when Scott let the hammer and the feather drop,they hit the ground 一 exactly 39.

learning how to see Words
Each time we see the familiar or same thing,we should see something new.
In high school,I had a teacher who made me aware of this concept,although it took many years before I appreciated it fully.
One day,Mrs. Lambert,my English teacher,brought in several baskets filled with all kinds of stuff. Each of us took something and wrote a composition about it for homework. The next day,the baskets reappeared,and we were instructed to select the same object. This time we had to write a composition about the object without repeating anything from the first one.
Over the next few days the same thing happened,with each day bringing an increasing sense of (失意) as we tried to see something new in a familiar object. I will never forget the last piece I wrote about my blue and white Delft fisher boy. After struggling to find something different to say,I got inspired to write a poem. It allowed me to see beyond the porcelain ( figure and into the 從sence (本質) of the character. Mrs. Lambert had shown me how to use my own eyes and creativity to see what I otherwise would have looked at and dismissed.
Fifty years later,as I remember Mrs. Lambert,I wonder,are schools today showing kids how to use their own eyes to see beyond the superficial and into the essence of things? This,I believe,is the most important lesson a child can take into adulthood.
True (T) or False (F) :
1. Mrs. Lambert used to give her students too much homework.()
2. It can be inferred from the text that the author is thankful to Mrs. Lambert. ()
