【正文】 . Then we were off. As the rocket rose i nto the ai r, we were pushed back i nto our seats because we were tryi ng to escape the pul l of the earth’s gravi ty. It was so hard that we coul d not say anythi ng to each other. Gradual y the wei ght l esened and I was abl e to tal k to hi m. “ Why i s the spaceshi p not fal i ng back to the earth? O n the earth i f I fal from a tree I wi l fal to ground.” I asked. “ We are to far from the earth now to feel its pul , “ he expl ai ned, “ so we feel as i f there i s no gravi ty at al . When we get cl oser to the m oon, we shal feel its gravity pul i ng us, but i t wi l not be as strong a pul l as the earth’s. “ I cheered up imm edi atel y and floated wei ghtl essl y around in our spaceship cabi n watchi ng the earth bee sm al l er and the m on l arger. When we got there, I wanted to expl ore imm ediately. “ Com e on, ” I sai d. “ If you are right, m y m ass wil l be l es than on the earth because the m oon i s sm al l er and I wi l be abl e to m ove more freely. I mi ght even grow tal er i f I stay here l ong enough. I shal l certai nl y wei gh l ess!” I l aughed and clim bed down the steps from the spaceshi p. But when I tri ed to step forward, I found I was carri ed twi ce as far as on the earth and fel l over. “ O h dear, ” I cri ed, “ wal ki ng does need a bi t of practi ce now that gravity has changed.” After a whil e I got the hang of i t and we began to enjoy ourselves. Leavi ng the moon’s gravity was not as pai nful as l eavi ng the earth’s. But returni ng to the earth was very fri ghteni ng. We watched, am azed as fire broke out on the outsi de of the spaceshi p as the earth’s gravi ty i ncreased. Agai n we were pushed back hard i nto our seats as we cam e back to l and. “ That was very exhausti ng but very exci ting too,” I sai d. “N ow I know m uch m ore about gravi ty! Do you thi nk we coul d bi sit som e stars next tim e?” “O f course, ” he smi l ed, “ whi ch star woul d you li ke to go to?” Caught by a bl ack hol e The spaceshi p warned Li Yanpi ng and m e to be ready as we were aproaching the “bl ack hole”. We coul d see some fai nt l ights around what looked l ike an empty space. Li Yanping sai d, “ That empty hol e i s li ke a m outh always needing to be fed. Those li ghts are thins that are bei ng pul ed into ti me by the gravi ty of the hol e. ” We watched wi th interest and amazement at the lights whi ch seemed to be going fai nter and fainter round the edge of the bl ack hole. Just then the l ights on our spaceship went our the and the puter stoped worki ng. What was hapeni ng? I tried to turn the spaceship away from the hol e but i t would not move. Would it eat us too? Suddenly the spaceship jumped and began to move round the edge of trhe hole too.
