19．　　Everyone likes living in a clean and comfortable environment. If the environment is bad, it will affect (影响) our bodies, and make us not feel well. Sometimes we may be terribly ill. At mat time we don't want to work, and we have to stay in bed and rest at home. So the environment is very important to us.
　　It's germs (微生物) that makes us ill. There are germs everywhere. They are very small and you can't find them with your own eyes, but you can see them with a microscope (显微镜). They are very small and there may be hundreds of them on a very small thing. Germs can always be found in the dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. Germs can also be found in air and dust. If you cut your finger, some of the dust from the floor may go into it, and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs will go into all of your body, and you will have pain everywhere.
　　To keep us healthy, we should try to our best to make our environment become cleaner and tidier. This needs us to act together.

20．　　We have always been interested in the moon. 2000 years ago people already knew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.
　　When scientists could use telescopes to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth's gravity (引力) millions of years earlier.
　　In 1969 moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.
　　After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of Earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 million years ago, something about the size of Mars hit Earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.
　　However, in the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it.

21．　　We each have a memory (记忆力). That's why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do the again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
　　A good memory is a great help in learning languages. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day, In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

22．Wonderful Events

23．　　My father used to work in the city and seldom stayed at home. But he would come back and help to harvest (收割) rice every year.
　　One autumn, he promised to help our neighbor, who lost his arms in a traffic accident in 1999, to harvest his rice. After father harvested our own, his little rice picker broke. What's worse, he had to return to work the next day because his partner was ill in hospital. It meant that father wouldn't be back in a few days. It now seemed impossible to help out the neighbor.
　　Father told us that he wouldn't let the neighbor's rice rot (腐烂) in the field. He decided to harvest it by hand without a machine. "If tonight's weather is clear, I think I can do it." added my father. In fact, he was rather tired after a day's harvest work.
　　After dinner, father had a short rest and made his way to the field. A full moon was glowing (发光) in the sky and the weather was cold but clear. He spent the whole night keeping his word.
　　I would never forget the image (画面): father was cutting rice in the light of the harvest moon. Behind him, row after row of rice stocks (秸秆) stood at attention, showing respect for a man who kept his word.
