Most of the class might be considered poor, but still many would ________ the holiday with turkey and other traditional food of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subject of most of her students’ art. And they were.
But Douglas made a(an) ________ kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of weak and unhappy. As other children played at ________ ,Douglas used to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the pain that Douglas felt behind those sad ________ .
Yes, his picture was different. When he was asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a ________ . Nothing else. Just an empty hand.
His abstract (抽象的) picture caught the ________ of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers ________ turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and ________ people. Still others guessed it was the hand of God, for God feeds us. And so the discussion went on — until the teacher almost forgot the young artist ________ .
When the children had gone on to other assignments, she stopped at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and ________ him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and murmured, “It’s yours, teacher.”
She recalled the ________ when she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, as she had the other students.

The rockets take astronauts and man﹣made satellites(卫星)into space. The satellites are used for communication, weather checking and research.But how do satellites stay up without falling down?
There are two opposite forces influencing the satellite. One of them is the force of gravitation(地心引力) , which tries to pull the satellite towards the earth and is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away.The other force is created by the turning of the satellite around the earth. This force tries to take the satellite away from the earth. With these two forces, the satellite goes round and round.
Everything that goes up has to come down. It is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back to the earth.As time goes by,the satellite loses its speed, which makes the force pulling it towards the earth stronger than the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite fall down to the earth.
判断文章后面的问题,正确的答案写T,错误的答案写F.
(1)Two same forces have an influence on the satellite.
(2)The force created by the turning keeps the satellite from flying away.
(3)Two opposite forces make the satellite turn round and round.
(4)The satellite will stay in space forever.

Since NASA's Viking Task tested Martian soil back in the 1970s,we've known that Mars (火星) is covered with a desert—harmful to life as we know it.But since tasks to Mars paid attention to what lies under the desert,a different picture has started to appear.
This discovery of water under the Mars' South Pole is the result of radar echoes (雷达回波) that were picked up by an instrument on a spaceship that's been moving around Mars for 15 years.To stay liquid (液体) under the long﹣frozen desert of Mars,the researchers say this lake must have a lot of salts mixed in it.
It is very cold and saltiness would make it a very hard environment for any living thing.But the lead researcher,Professor Roberto Orosei from the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics,said it was not impossible for things to live there.
To search for life in this newly discovered lake,scientists will need to send a robot that's able to make a hole through the mile of ice covering it.But at least the teams looking for life on Mars will now know where to start their search.

Someone's always watching you online…
