The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋转）of the earth. At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length（长度）. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole（北极）is tilted（倾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere（半球）. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.
（ ）6.When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ________.
　　 A. both day and night B. day 　　 C. neither（既不）day nor night D. night
（ ）7. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by ________ of the earth.
　　 A. the pushing B. the pulling C. the spinning D. the passing
（ ）8. At the equator day is as long as night ________.
　　 A. sometimes B. never C. usually D. always
（ ）9. When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere gets ________ sunlight.
　　 A. less B. more C. all D. no
（ ）10. When it is winter in China, ________.

Wetlands! Valuable Resources ( 有价值的资源)on the Earth
There are many wetlands in China and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands.
The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of animals. The world's largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is in them. More than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Crane Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering(提供) food and home for some special kinds of animals is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and less space for wildlife.
Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.
（ ）11. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are in the ____ of China.
A. east B. south C. west D. north
（ ）12. Usually the weather in the wetlands is ____.
A. hot B. pleasant C. cold D. dry
（ ）13. The World Wetlands Day is on ____.
A. April 22 B. June 25 C. February 2 D. March 22
（ ）14. We must protect wetlands because ____.
A. they are home for wildlife B. they can offer food to animals
