The moon is about 384,000 kilometers away from the earth. A plane cannot fly to the moon because the air reaches only 240 kilometers away from the earth. But something can fly even when there is no air. That is a rocket.
How does a rocket fly? There is gas in the rocket. When the gas is made very hot inside the rocket, it will rush out of the end of the rocket, so it can make the rocket fly up into the sky.

One of the loudest voices speaking to us today is the voice of the advertisers. It shouts at us from the television screen and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspaper; signals to us from the roadside posters all day and flashes message to us in colored lights all night.
Why spend so much in advertising industry? First of all, advertising saves the manufacturers(制造商) from having to think about the customer. The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find many ways of making it appeal to purchasers(顾客) after they have finished it, by pretending that it raises status, or attracts love. If the advertising agency can do this beautifully enough, the manufacturer is in comfort.
Also manufacturers find advertising serves them changing their products. If, for one reason or another, some alteration seems called for—how much better to change the image, the packer or the pitch(叫卖语) instead of going to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself. The

advertising man has to combine the qualities of two most authoritative(有权威的) professors: Church and Medicine. The great skill required of the priests(牧师) is the skill of getting people to contribute money to something that can never be logically proved. As for medicine, any doctor will confirm that a large part of his job is not clinical treatment but faith healing. His approach enables his patients to believe that he knows exactly what is wrong with them and exactly how to put them right, just as advertising does.

To Americans, punctuality (守时) is a way of showing respect for other people’s time. Being more than ten minutes late to an appointment usually calls for apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let the others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal (正式的) the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 10 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don’t try that at work.
American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency (紧急情况) to change it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just “drop by” unannounced. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary(变化), but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m..
