We have always been interested in the Moon. 2, 000 years ago people already knew it circles around the Earth and it is in different places in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the Moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.
When scientists could use telescopes (望远镜) to study the Moon more clearly.. Their ideas began to change. They could see that there were lots of rocks on the surface of the Moon. Most scientists thought Moon rocks would be different from the rocks on the Earth.
in 1969, moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the Moon and the Earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas came out according to the new information.
After years of study, most scientists now think that the Moon was once part of the Earth. They believe about 4 million years ago, something of the same size as Mars hit the Earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around the Earth. These rocks slowly joined together and at last became the Moon.
In the future, our ideas about the Moon may change again. However, we will still be interested in the Moon.

A report from the United Nations (UN) says the world needs another 69 million teachers by the year 2030. The UN agency LJNESCO made a promise in 2015 that every child in the world is to receive primary and secondary education within the next 14 years. Now there are 263 million who do not go to school. Around 25 million of these might never get an education The agency says a lot of work needs to be done to find enough teachers for schools. The most teachers are needed in sub-Saharan__撒哈拉沙漠以南的) Africa and Southern Asia.
The UN report warns that there are not enough teachers in countries with rising populations. This makes it harder to find enough teachers.

In countries like Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone, fewer than 60 percent of teachers in primary schools have been trained. There are also worries about class sizes.
