On Christmas Eve — the night before Christmas Day — children all over Britain put a stocking at the end of their beds before they go to sleep. Their parents usually tell them that Father Christmas will come during the night.
Father Christmas is very kind and warm-hearted. He gets to the top of each house and climbs down the chimney into the fireplace. He fills each of the stockings with Christmas presents.
Of course, Father Christmas isn't real. In Jim and Kate's house, "Father Christmas" is really Mr. Green. Mr. Green doesn't climb down the chimney. He waits until the children are asleep. Then he quietly goes into their bedrooms and fills their stockings with small presents. When they were very young, Mr. Green sometimes wore a red coat. But he doesn't do that now. The children are no longer young, and they know who" Father Christmas" really is. But they still put their stockings at the end of their beds.

The stars we see at night are really huge like our sun, but they are much farther away in space. Some of them have planets(行星)like our earth travelling around them.
The stars are so hot that they give off great light and heat--more than the hottest, brightest fire you can imagine(想象). As we all know, light travels at the speed of 300, 000 kilometres per second. But the stars are so far away that their lights still take years to reach us. The light we see coming from some far-off stars started for the earth more than a hundred years ago.
The moon is a ball of cold rock. It is smaller than the earth. It circles round(环绕)the earth as the earth circles round the sun. The whole journey(旅程)of the moon round the earth takes twenty-eight days. We see it changing from new moon to half to full and back to new moon every twenty-eight days. Our word "month" comes from the word "moon".
