                                       Tourists in space
        Man has been traveling into space for more than 40 years. Even today though,
very few people get the chance to be an astronaut, about 30 per year. This is mainly
because of the expense. It costs millions of yuan to train and send astronauts into
space. Very few countries can      1     this.
         This is why American businessman Dennis Tito paid 20,000,000 US dollars to the Russian space agency
to go into space. He visited the International Space Station. His     2     , making him the first ever space tourist,
took eight days altogether. He spent most of his time taking photos, looking at the Earth and listening to music
on his once-in-a-lifetime trip.
         After landing     3     back on earth, Mr. Tito thought the trip was worth the money. The only difficulty
he had was walking but this is normal (正常) for anyone who's been in zero gravity (重力).
         Some people, especially in the American space agency, think that you must be     4      to go into space.
They worry about the safety of other astronauts. However, Mr. Tito received training before he left. He also
helped to prepare food for the others while in space. They told him what to do and where he was     5     to go. 
         A survey showed that 75% of Americans supported space tourism. Some people are bored of all the
places on earth. They are looking for a new     6     trip and space is the place. 
         The money Mr. Tigo gave the Russians equaled 20% of their annual budget (年度預(yù)算). If we want to
see men on Mars and other planets, we may need rich people    7     Mr. Tito to help us pay for it. The Russians
have more rich people who want to become space tourists. They should take them.

(引擎)" for the Internet.
      People use the search engine to find information about almost any subject on the Internet. The people

they do not consider the long-term  influence of what they are doing carefully.        
     It is necessary to build standards for the supply system of any green fuel project in order to make sure that 
there aren't any side effects on the environment and social structures. The report produced by the scientists 
expresses concem that many companies may not be fully aware of the possible disadvantages.       
     Production of crops (農(nóng)作物) ,  such as com and soya beans, has increased greatly in the last few years as 
another eco-friendly choice to natural fuels, but environmental and human rights movement leaders are worried 
that this will lead to destruction (破壞)  of rain forests.  Food prices could also go up as there is increasing 
competition for crops as both food and sources of fuels.  Last week, the UN wamed that biofuels could have 
dangerous side effects and said that steps need to be taken to make sure that land chosen to grow biofuels

some countries and people driven from their homes to plant more palms.        
      The report suggests that biofuels are not a solution for climate change but they can play their ptut as long 
as govemments and companies manage the social and environment influence thoroughly.  There should also be 
greater measures (措施) taken to increase the effectiveness and to reduce needs.
1. The underlined phrase "side effects" probably means _____ .
A.improving conditions

C. increasing influences    
D. unchanged advantages

     Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is
to go into the water and learn. I'm afraid you'll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming
or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
     Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first
listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just
understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word. Somebody may be a
good listener. But he dare not speak. He's afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes
when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must
try to speak with everyone as long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important, when
there's nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It's interesting and also a good way to practice
your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you'll make.
     Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we're
interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.
     Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English
magazines. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
     Easier said than done. Well, let's do more practice from now on. I'm sure you'll learn English well in this
way.
1. You can learn to swim by _____.
[     ]
A. reading books about it
B. looking at others swimming
C. having lessons on it
D. going into the river and learning
2. We should learn English by _____.
[     ]
A. listening and speaking
B. reading and writing
C. both A and B
D. swimming
3. What will you do with mistakes when you speak?
[     ]
A. Don't make mistakes.
B. Study hard.
C. Try not to speak English.
D. Don't be afraid.
4. What's more important for senior school students?
[     ]
A. listening
B. speaking
C. reading and writing
D. learning
