This is something I valued and followed. I have thought about a lot in the last year, and I finally came up with two things.The first one is the healthiness of my daughter. Shes as healthy as she can be, and her weight and height are in good condition and she has no illnesses or genetic diseases. I am so thankful for having this wonderful baby in my life, and thankful that she has the gift of good health.Secondly, I am thankful for the discovery of the value of writing in my life. A year ago, my website. The simple Dollar was only a few weeks old and was far from popular, but on Thanksgiving Day Last year it had about three score readers who ordered it in advance. The process of writing was bringing me enjoyment, but I hadnt yet realized that I could be successful in it and attract many readers. This past year showed me a lot and I am deeply thankful for it.After thinking for a while, I began to realize that it was a very powerful and wonderful positive exercise.

These moving lights are not, in fact, stars at all. They are small pieces of matter from outer space, which burn up as they enter the Earths atmosphere. The correct name of them is meteoroids. Any pieces that make it to the Earths surface without completely burning up are known as meteorites. A meteor is actually the name given to the light we see when a meteoroid is burning up.When a meteorite hits the Earth at speeds between 11 and 72 kilometers a second, it can do amazing damage. A very large meteorite could knock the earth out of its orbit. If this happened, all life on Earth would probably become extinct（灭绝）. The path we follow around the Sun would change and as a result the Earth would become either much hotter or much colder. This change in temperature would affect sea levels and the amount of water in rivers. There would either be huge floods, which would cover most of the land with water, or the oceans would dry up and there would be a drought, which means a long period of time without rain. Either way, nothing could survive. If a large meteorite landed in the sea it would almost certainly cause tsunamis, which would race towards the land, destroying everything in their paths.Although it is unlikely the Earth will be struck by a meteorite large enough to do that kind of damage, there is evidence of fairly large meteorites hitting the Earth in the past. In 1908 a large area of forest in Tunguska, Siberia was destroyed by a meteorite that came apart just before it hit the ground. The moon, however, has about three billion craters陨石坑caused by meteorites impacting影响 its surface. The reason more meteorites have reached the surface of the moon than the surface of the Earth is that the moon does not have enough atmosphere for the meteorites to burn up in. some of the meteorites that have reached the Earths surface have done considerable damage. Some scientists believe it was a change of climate caused by meteorites hitting the Earth that resulted in th
