The Moon
The rocks （岩石） on the moon tell us the moon is about 4.6 billion （十亿） years old, or about the same age as the Earth （地球）. The moon is about one-fourth （四分之一） the size of the Earth. If the Earth is an apple, the moon is a hawthorn （山楂）. The moon is very hot in the day and cold at night. This is because the moon has little air （空气） around it. The Earth has a lot of air around it. This keeps the Earth not too hot in the day and not too cold at night. There is no wind or water on the moon.

Shadow play （皮影戏） is very cool for 18 students in Beijing Shangdi School. They join the school's shadow play club. The great shadow play artists （艺术家） Cui Yongping and Wang Yali give them lessons every Thursday afternoon.
The students have two plays （戏剧）: The Tortoise and the Crane (《龟与鹤》) and The Golden Hatchet (《金斧头》). Every student plays a character （扮演角色） in the two stories. Most students like it and they also have some problems （问题）.
Meng Qingyuan plays the tortoise. He has a problem with the neck of the tortoise. "You have to move the puppet's （皮偶的） neck softly or it will get stuck （卡住）, "he says.
Wang Yu'er and her classmate play the puppet together: one for the legs, the other for the arms. "Working together is very hard. At first, the legs move faster than the arms," she says.
The students have become （变得） very skilled.
