阅读理解。 In 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. Whenthe explorers (探险者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of undergroundcities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why," they asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don't evenuse your inner space?" H. G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on themoon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the questionthat the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriouslythinking about it. Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The"Chunnel", a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.Uncle Tom gave littleVicki Black a birthday gift one week before her birthday. He told her not to open it until her birthday. She knew her mother wouldn't tolerate any disrespect to the kind man who helped them out after Vicki's father passed away. Besides, Vicki didn't want Uncle Tom to get angry. But little Vicky didn'twant to just hold it and guess what was in it. After all, she looked forward to his coming to show herinteresting things, like how to turn an old sock into a doll. All the day, Vicki couldn't stop thinking about the gift. While her teacher was giving a lecture? Vicki sat still in her seat, drawing paper dolls inside the box. When school was done, she raced home. Walking into the room, again, she shook the present, but she heard nothing. Holding her breath, she opened the box and looked inside. Seconds later, she cried. When Mrs. Black saw the box, she sairily, "Didn't I tell you to leave it alone?" Vicki sobbed and said, "Mommy, you don't understand." "Don't cry to me. You have missed everything now, just because you couldn't wait," Mrs. Black accused. "What will Uncle Tom think now?" "Uncle Tom gave me nothing," Vicki cried and handed the empty box to her mother. "He played a trick on me." Mrs. Black said doubtfully, "Uncle Tom is not like that. You must have dropped it." Vicki kept crying. Only a rapid knock on the door made the house quiet. It was Uncle Tom. Helooked at the empty box. "You have already done it? I told you to wait for your birthday." "You didn't give me a gift." Fresh tears filled her eyes. "I try to give you something. I know your birthday is a special day. I tell myself to give you something valuable to last your whole life. I think hard and get the idea to give you an important lesson.If you open it on birthday, I see you learn. Then I will make a big party to celebrate.
