     If you watch the sky for about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some "moving stars". But
  they're not really stars. They're man-made satellites. And the biggest of all is the International Space
  Station (ISS). From May to July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth. And people
 can see it with their eyes.
     The ISS is the biggest satellite (人造衛(wèi)星) and 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 expensive space program. Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year.
     Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone for future space exploration (探測). "The ISS will
  help us understand the human body better, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on
 the earth better," said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.
     Sixteen countries are part of the program: the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil and 11 European
 countries. China isn't an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003, China sent
  some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it.

    A. is really a big city in space              
    B. is the biggest man-made satellite

    A. building the ISS is only for scientists to live there
    B. scientists can do anything they like there
    C. people can see the Space Station at any time
    D. sixteen countries are members of the space program
3. The phrase "a stepping stone" probably means _____.
    A. 滑梯            
    B. 巔峰              
    C. 墊腳石            
    D. 走廊
4. China sent some rice up to the ISS is probably to _____.
    A. be used as astronauts' food              
    B. sell it to aliens
    C. do some science experiments            
     D. make it grow better in space
5. Which of the following isn't mentioned in this passage?
    A. China will join the ISS in the future.

     Have you ever noticed background music? You can listen to it everywhere, restaurants, airports,
supermarkets, department stores… Background music is supposed to influence (影響) your attitudes
(態(tài)度) and mood (心情).
     Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. It's supposed to make you feel
better about yourself and the people around you. Factories use it a lot. It makes the workers happy and
work better. It is said (據說) that in a factory, music can increase the production by 4.5 percent.
Workers do not easily get tired if they listen to music all day. A worker in San Francisco said:" If the
music stops, somebody always runs to the telephone to complain about it. "Background music was
started during World War II when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and
calm . Now, of course, the music is piped in (以電訊設備傳送) by a machine and different kinds of
music are played at different time in a day. For example, the music they play are faster at 10 than 8,
because workers are usually slower then.
     It's also very interesting that fast music is played in restaurants where hamburger is sold. Before
playing fast music, customers spent 22 minutes eating hamburgers. When they started playing fast music,
they found that a customer spent only 17 minutes eating! So they have more people coming in and out to
buy hamburgers. It's good for business. You can see why music has become so popular. In Los Angeles
(洛杉磯), for example, 30 different companies are selling background music services.
     The Xerox Corporation (靜電復印公司) in Rochester, N．Y．(紐約州的羅切斯特市), spends
more than $80,000 a year for background music. Prison warders (獄警) use it. Farmers also use it to
keep their cattle calm. It's said that background music even influence plants.

    Here's a famous machine that Germans used in the Second World War (1941-1945). It's called the Enigma
Machine. The machines were very big, heavy and expensive. Every day they changed the codes automatically,
