　　There is nothing more important to life than the sun. Without the sun all living things on the earth would die.

　　The sun is a star. In the sky there are thousands of stars like the sun. They are as large as the sun and as hot as the sun. At night you can see many stars, but in the day-time you can only see one star－the sun.

　　The sun is much nearer to us than any other star. That is why it looks the biggest and brightest of all the stars. The distance of the sun from the earth is as much as 150 million kilometres. Most of the stars are thousands of light years away from the earth.

　　Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument (樂(lè)器) , if someone can play it. You may use a tape-recorder. You can even use a radio.

　　Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite (相反的) direction (方向) to the chair next to it.

　　The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Every one goes in the same direction, of course. They should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.

　　The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
