     If you watch the sky about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some "moving stars". But
they're not real stars. They are man-made satellites. And the biggest of all is the International Space Station
(ISS 國(guó)際空間站).
     From now until July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth, and people can see it just
with their eyes. The ISS is the biggest man-made satellite because scientists want to live on it. They think
that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.
     When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with
many of the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The
ISS is the most ambitious (雄心勃勃) and expensive space program ever. Billions of dollars are being spent
on it every year.
     Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping-stone (墊腳石) for future space exploration."The ISS will
help us better understand the human body, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the
earth better," said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.
     China is not an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. China sent some rice up to
the ISS to find out what space would do to it.
     The ISS is not finished yet. More than 100 parts need to be put on. Scientists hope it will be finished as
soon as possible. After it's finished, more than 90% of the world's population will be able to see the Space
Station. So keep looking up, and maybe you'll see it get bigger.
1. The ISS is _______.
A. a world power station
B. a man-made satellite
C. an outer space moving star
D. a stepping-stone to the sun
2. You can watch the International Space Station with your eyes _______.
A. an hour before sunset
B. while flying on the earth
C. in a special room
D. from now till July
3. The ISS is in fact regarded as _______ for space exploration.
A. a laboratory
B. a city
C. a living room

4. The passage tells us that _______.
A. China belongs to the ISS

     If someone asked you to draw a picture of a robot, how would it look?  Like a person? That's how we
often picture robots in our minds. But real robots look many different ways.
     Some robots have TV cameras for eyes. Some have special parts that help them touch. Many have
computer brains. How robots look depends on the job they have to do. Some can even have their parts
changed,so they can do different jobs.
     Some robots look like huge insects. America sent some robots to Mars (火星) in 1976. They moved on
the surface and did experiments there.
     Robots can do boring jobs. They can do dangerous jobs with fast-moving machine. They can do dirty
jobs, such as painting things with oil colours. They can do jobs no person could do, such as picking up hot
metal. Robots don't get bored. They don't get tired. They don't mind getting dirty.
     Some people are worried because they think robots will take jobs away from people. But that doesn't have
to happen. After all, people are able to control robots. People must remember that robots are good at some
things and humans are good at others.
     Some robots often tell people they don't have to be afraid of robots. These robots help people understand
that robots can do boring, dangerous and dirty jobs and people can do better ones.
