Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that junk(垃圾)has become a problem in outer space too.
According to BBC News, there are more than 22, 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.
Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds,so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.
To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.
To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.
Many scientists also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.
The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers," says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space Researcher.
"The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become," he says.

People often think of the North Pole(北极) and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻的)
wastelands.They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there.However,the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.
The North Pole has no land,only thick ice.Temperatures seldom go above 32°F,at which water turns into ice.Most of the time,it stays below zero.In winter temperatures are usually as low as﹣30°F.
Although conditions were very poor,people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole.About 100years ago,two men,Robert Peary and Mathew Henson,were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties.They reached the North Pole on March 8th,1909.It was really a hard trip for them.
There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈) on foot.People who stayed there may face many problems:very cold temperatures,sudden storms,and even hunger.Most of the area is uninhabited.Few people can live in such a difficult place.
People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year,the ice would be thick and hard.However,this is not true in the Arctic.The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface.Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道) called"leads".Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.

What's better for learning, hands﹣on projects or tests?
We did a survey about two days to study in our school. 73% of the students prefer hands﹣on( 动手的)projects while the rest think tests are better for learning. Here are four students'ideas.
Hands﹣on projects require time and hard work to complete. It teaches kids not to put things off.Some kids might get bored and be less interested in studying for a test. Studying also doesn't prepare you as much for the future, since jobs at times will have more difficult tasks than simply studying for a test. Also, completing a project is good for spending time with your friends or family. ﹣﹣﹣Bruno |
With a hands﹣on project you can be creative while you learn. It's also a lot more fun than sitting at a desk with flash cards, memorizing information they forget about after the test. Besides, with a hands﹣on project you can learn more than you expected, like problem solving, creativity, and different ways of thinking.﹣﹣﹣David |
When people study, they remember what was in the book. If they know they have a test, they will most likely take notes on all the important information to help them with the test, so they will learn it better.﹣﹣﹣Alice |
I think kids learn better studying for tests. If you actually sit and study what you are supposed to learn, you will remember it. hands﹣on projects might end up making a kid feel stressed if they are trying to finish on time, and if you are stressed, you might not learn as much. ﹣﹣﹣Matt |

A neighbor,Julie Brown,saw it all happen."The dog went onto an icy lake.All of a sudden,it started to go under.There were crowds of people around,and they were all shouting and screaming.Before I knew it,the owner Smith was in the water forcing his way through the ice.I can't begin to imagine how cold it was.Everyone was very nervous,but he was as cool as a cucumber﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣he just crawled back out,put the dog on its lead,and went home."
Many regard him as a hero,but Mr.Smith is quite laid﹣back about it."Most dog owners are the same as me.They would do what I did without a second thought.But in the future,I'm going to make sure he's on lead near any ice ponds,Pets are members of our family.Would you do the same for them?

All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year.Networks have been part of our life.Probably everyone with a portable device (移动设备)has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it,while they are having a coffee,on a train,in a shopping mall or at a hotel.However,is this kind of public WiFi network safe?
Some networks are better protected than others because encryption (加密)methods are used.Therefore,they are safer than others.But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected,including addresses,emails,birth dates,phone numbers,passwords and so on.These open WiFi networks are really not safe,because it is very easy for hackers (黑客) to break into the operating system and get people's private information.
Most smartphones and laptops,by themselves,search and connect to WiFi networks.They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before.Hackers'devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks.When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real,hackers can easily steal their private information.
So next time,when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks,please think it twice or take safe measures before using them.
42.Why do people like to go log on to a public WiFi network?
A.Because it can provide useful information.

A.Don't Use Public WiFi Networks
B.Why the Public WiFi Networks a Possible Danger
C.We Needn't Protect Our Private Information

Students at a primary school in Fuzhou,Hast China's Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits.But some parents are strongly against the idea.They can't see the advantages of students doing such chores (杂亊).They think that the school should provide students with a proper education,not the chance to be school cleaners.
In fact,parents,schools and society play an equally (同等地)important role in developing the character of students.It is good for schools to give students such tasks,because few of the students will do them at home.Their parents want them to do homework only.
In recent years,some parents will make mountains out of molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools.Some complain about the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools; some even challenge the schools'teaching methods and management.As a result,many primary schools,especially those in big cities,do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks,fearing that they might get hurt.This is bad for the development of students'best qualities.
What the primary school in Fuzhou is doing is worth praising.Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility into students'minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork.Also,it can make students'in﹣school experiences more meaningful.

In the summer between my first year and second year in college,I was invited to be an instructor (辅导员)at a high school camp.On the first day,when we were dancing and playing games,I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin.His shyness made him appear weak.I walked towards him,introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people.He quietly replied,"No,I really don't want to do this."I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him,either.Actually,the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend.
At lunch the next day,I was leading camp songs when 1saw the boy under the tree sitting alone.I tried again with the same invitation,but he refused once again.That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy.Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.
The days went by and the time came when we had to leave.We held a big,warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp.All the campers shared their wonderful moments.To my surprise.1found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls.I couldn't believe it was the same person.
In October of my second year,I received a phone call from Tommy's mother.She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed.I offered my deep sadness.The mother said:"'Tommy mentioned you so many times.I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence.You made a difference for Tommy during his last months."
At that moment,I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day.You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else.I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own"boy under the tree".

All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year.Networks have been part of our life.Probably everyone with a portable device (移动设备)has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it,while they are having a coffee,on a train,in a shopping mall or at a hotel.However,is this kind of public WiFi network safe?
Some networks are better protected than others because encryption (加密)methods are used.Therefore,they are safer than others.But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected,including addresses,emails,birth dates,phone numbers,passwords and so on.These open WiFi networks are really not safe,because it is very easy for hackers (黑客) to break into the operating system and get people's private information.
Most smartphones and laptops,by themselves,search and connect to WiFi networks.They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before.Hackers'devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks.When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real,hackers can easily steal their private information.
