13、rol a group of young people for almost 200 days a year.

With it are eight other planets (行星), fellow members of the suns family.Two of them are nearer while the ot

21、her six are farther from the sun than the earth is. The farther they are, the longer trips they make around the sun. People noticed long ago that these traveling bodies moved around in the sky in fixed paths. It is a force called gravity (重力) that holds them in their paths.We know that every little

22、bit of matter in the universe (宇宙) pulls upon every other bit of matter. Because the sun is so large, the pulls between the sun and the planets are thus great. If it were not for these pulls, the planets would fly off into space. In the same way there exists a pull between the earth and the moon, wh

23、ich keeps the moon traveling in its orbit (轨道) around our planet, the earth. Gravity holds you to the earths surface, and pulls back to it the ball which you throw into the air. Of course, the ball also pulls on the larger earth but the earth is so much larger that the pull is not noticed.Now rememb

24、er that large bodies bring to bear a greater pull on any body than smaller ones which contain less material.

D) The moon travels around the earth because its nearer to the earth than the other fellow members in the suns family. Passage 3 What makes America

28、ns spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home? The answers lie in the way Americans live today. During the first few decades of the twentieth century, canned and convenience foods freed the family cook from full-time duty at the kitchen range. Then, in the 1940s, work in the wartim

29、e plants took more women out of the home than ever before, setting the pattern of the working wife and mother. Today about half of the countrys married women are employed outside the home. But, unless family members pitch in with food preparation, women are not fully liberated from that chore. Inste

30、ad many have become, in a sense, prisoners of the completely cooked convenience meal. It is easier to pick up a bucket of fried chicken on the way from work or t take family out for pizzas, or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day. Also, the rising di

31、vorce rate means that there are more single working parents with children to feed.
