Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun，the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon，for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is nonluminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only secondhand sunlight.When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380,000 kilometers away，in only a little more than a second.5You can see the book because _.A. your eyes are close to itB. it reflects some of the sunlightC. it has light of its ownD. your eyesight can get to it答案与解析B细节理解题。由文章其次段可知，能观察书是由于它能反射一些太阳光线。6The underlined word “luminous” means _.A. visible B. all colorsC. giving off light D. sunlight答案与解析C词义猜想题。依据文章第一段其次句Some of the things you see give off light of their own.和第四句Such things are luminous.可推知此题答案为C项。7_ have light of their own.A.
