    ①为了募捐,学校准备排练一部叫《圣诞前夜》的短话剧。告示一贴出,妹妹便热情万丈地去应征当演员。定角色那天,妹妹到家后一脸冰霜,嘴唇紧闭。

    ②“你被选上了吗?”我们小心翼翼地问她。

    ③“是。”她丢给我们一个字。

    ④“那你为什么不开心?”我壮着胆子问。

    ⑤“因为我的角色!”

     ⑥《圣诞前夜》只有4个人物:父亲、母亲、女儿和儿子。“你的角色是什么?”

     ⑦“他们让我演狗!”说完,妹妹转身奔上楼,剩下我们面面相觑。饭后爸爸和妹妹谈

了很久,妹妹总算没有退出。

     ⑧她积极参加每次排练。我们都纳闷,一只狗有什么可排练的?但妹妹却练得很投入,还买了一副护膝。据说这样她在舞台上爬时,膝盖就不会疼了。妹妹还告诉我们,她的动物角色名叫丹吉。我注意到,每次排练归来,妹妹眼里都闪着兴奋的光芒。

     ⑨演出那天,我翻开节目单,找到妹妹的名字:珍妮——丹吉(狗)。偷偷环视四周,整个礼堂都坐满了,其中有很多熟人和朋友,我赶紧往椅子里缩了缩。幸好,灯光转暗,演出开始了。

     ⑩先出场的是“父亲”,他在正中的摇椅上坐下,召集家人讨论圣诞节的意义。接着“母亲”出场,面对观众坐下。然后是“女儿”和“儿子”,分别跪坐在“父亲”两侧的地板上。在这一家人的讨论声中,妹妹穿着一套黄色的、毛茸茸的狗道具,手脚并用地爬进场。

    ⑪但这不是简单地爬,丹言蹦蹦跳跳、摇头摆尾地跑进客厅,她先在小地毯上伸个懒腰,然后才在壁炉前安顿下来,开始呼呼大睡。一连串动作,惟妙惟肖。很多观众也注意到了,四周传来轻轻的笑声。

    ⑫接下来,“父亲”开始给全家讲圣诞节的故事。“圣诞前夜,万籁俱寂,就连老鼠……”刚说到这儿,丹吉突然从睡梦中惊醒,机警地四下张望,仿佛在说:“老鼠?哪有老鼠?”神情和我家的小狗一模一样。我用手掩着嘴,强忍住笑。

    ⑬男主角继续讲:“突然,轻微的响声从屋顶传来……”昏昏欲睡的丹吉又一次惊醒,好像察觉到异样,仰视屋顶,喉咙里发出呜呜的低吼。太逼真了!这时候的观众已不再注意主角们的对白,几百双眼睛全盯着妹妹。

    ⑭那晚,妹妹的角色没有一句台词,却抢了整场戏。后来,妹妹说让她改变态度的是爸爸的一句话:“如果你用演主角的态度去演一只狗,狗也会成为主角。”

根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。

    Many hundreds of years ago, the moon was a mystery to people on the earth. What was that glowing ball came out at night? Why did it keep getting smaller, then larger? Why didn't it fall from the sky? Through the ages, people have tried to come up with answers.

    To the native people of Bolivia, in South American, the moon was a great chief who once lived on the earth. The Abaluyian people of Kenya, in Africa, believe the moon and the sun were brothers who fought in the sky. In other parts of the world, people believed they saw different pictures in the moon. The Haida Indians of Canada saw a woman carrying a bucket. The Chinese saw a road.

    People in the past also used the moon to mark time as a kind of calendar. In fact, in some languages, the word for moon meant “month”. A Native American nation called the Sioux made a calendar of 13 moons, or months. Each moon had a name, such as Moon of Black Cherries, Moon of Green Corn, and Moon of Severe Cold.

    Though people of the past found the moon was helpful, mysterious and interesting, they didn't know much about it. They only knew what they could see with their own eyes.

    Then almost 400 years age, an Italian scientist named Galileo made a new telescope(望远镜) that was more powerful than any telescope made before. Galileo decided to take his new implement to look at the moon. He discovered that the moon was not the smooth, shiny ball. The brighter places were mostly hills and mountains. The flat areas were lower, which is why they appeared darker.

    As more people saw the moon through telescopes, they discovered more about it. Yet, people still had much to learn about the moon.
