How’s it going? Are you busy with your study these days?

this term. First of all, we’re asked to“clear our plates”when having our meals and say

to 4 the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights

Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. You
can get some idea of this difference by watching t he start of a race. If you stand some distance
away from the starter, you can see smoke from his gun before the sound reaches your ears.
This great speed of light produces some strange facts Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to
reach us If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays left the moon
1.3 seconds before they reached you The nearest star is so far away that the light that you can
see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million
km. per minute. In some cases, the light from one of tonight's stars had started on its journey to
you before you were born.
Thus, if we want to be honest, we can't say, "The stars are shining tonight" We have to say
instead, "The stars look pretty They were shining four years ago, but their light has only just
reached the earth."
