  During the Second World War, Winston Churchill was the British Prime
Minister. One day he had to go to the British Broadcasting Corporation
(the BBC) to make an important speech to the nation.
  An hour before the time of this speech, he stopped a taxi in the street and
asked the driver to take him to the BBC, but the taxi-driver, who did not
recognize him, said he could not take him anywhere just then, because he wanted

speech on the radio. Churchill was so pleased when he heard this. Churchill
answered that he gave the man a pound, which was worth quite a lot in those
days.
  "All right, get in," said the driver happily, opening the door of the taxi. "I'll
take you, and to hell with (让……见鬼去) Churchill and his speech ! "

     We know that there is air around the earth. We will find there is less air or no air if we go far enough away from the earth. But when    planes fly they need air to lift their wings (机翼). But planes can't fly very high because the air gets thinner and thinner when    they go higher and higher. Perhaps we can answer some of the questions now. What is the sky? Nothing, where is it?
