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．
We've seen 3D films， 3D TVs and so on．They are so interesting that young people like to watch them very much．Have you ever read about 3D newspapers？That was what the Belgian（比利时的）newspaper，La Demiere Heure，tried to do for its readers．This was Europe's first 3D newspaper．
It took the team two months to make the 3D newspaper．The team printed 115，000copies of the special edition of La Demiere Heyre．It was more than the usual number of the printed copies．
Each of these newspapers came with a pair of free 3D glasses．All the photos and ads in the newspaper were in 3D and the text was the same as usual．Readers could get the best result by holding the paper 50cm away from the eyes．In fact，if people don't wear the 3D glasses，the newspaper will be terrible to read because the pictures are not clear．
Many readers tried to buy this kind of newspaper．In fact，some of them bought it just for fun．The team had no plans to continue it because it cost too much．
（1）The name of the first 3D newspaper is La Demiere Heure．
（2）The team printed 11500 copies of the newspaper，more than the usual copies．
（3）You can see the photos in this newspaper clearly with 3D glasses．

It was last January， when I'd just finished a charity（慈善） and was on the train back home， that I put down my phone and started writing thank﹣you notes to people who had helped，
When I got off the train， I felt amazingly good． The next day，I wrote more thank﹣you and the same feeling of happiness hit me again． I suddenly had the idea： Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year？

Thank you． We miss you．
Love，
Gina
I was happy to receive a note back from her． Julie replied，"I don't think I've ever received such a touching letter before， I' m going through a hard time right now， and this helps．"
On December 31，I wrote my last card ﹣ to Jake， my husband，and our two kids．And I took a picture of us， so I could remember the feeling welling up inside me． Gratitude．

The colorful clothes we wear today are made by machines.But what did ancient people do if they wanted to wear something colorful？Tie﹣dye（扎染）was away to do this.
More than 1，000 years ago，the Bai people in Yunnan used tie﹣dye to dye their clothes.Then this skill became so popular that people gave tie﹣dye clothes to the emperor as gifts.
To tie﹣dye，you need to first use tools to tie，sew（缝制） ，or clip（夹住）your cloth（布料） .The folded cloth is then put in dye.The Bai people usually make blue dye from a plant.
As the cloth is folded，some parts become dark blue，while other parts have a lighter color .When you unfold the cloth，you will see beautiful patterns.
In the1960s，tie﹣dye became a fashion trend in the US.People tie﹣dyed T﹣shirt and jeans in imaginative ways.Many children in the US still learn tie﹣dye in their art classes.
At a recent famous fashion show，an Italian designer surprised people with tie﹣dye dresses.

Last week I went to Corsica with my friends on vacation．It was my first visit to the island！
We took the ship from Toulon，France，to the city Ajaccio．Although Toulon and Ajaccio seemed quite close，it took us eight hours．We chatted and played card games to kill time．
When we got there，I got a surprise because of the weather．It was already October！But we just needed to wear T﹣shirts and shorts．We went to the beach to enjoy the sunshine and some of my friends even went swimming in the sea．The Corsican scenery（景色）was so beautiful．We had a picnic，went for a long walk along the coast and took lots of pictures．
Ajaccio is famous for being Napoleon's birthplace，so we also went to visit the Maison Bonaparte．It was the home of the Bonaparte family．In fact，it was a museum when we visited it．
One day we took the local train to another beautiful city named Corte．We visited the citadel（城堡）and the museum where we learnt more about Corsican history and enjoyed the beautiful views of the city．

Tide is the regular rise and fall of the ocean level caused by the movement of the sun， the earth and the moon． It is considered a promising source of green energy to produce electricity in coastal areas．
To make use of tidal energy， we need to build tidal power stations． The bays and the river mouths where the tide is high（the tidal range is more than 10 metres） are usually perfect sites to build tidal power stations． There are many such places in the world． According to the IRENA （ the International Renewable Energy Agency）， by just using 2% of our coastlines， we can produce 4，383TWh of ocean power each year， enough to meet 16.4% of the world's electricity needs．
To build a tidal power station， we need to build a dam． In the dam are many turbines and on each turbine there is an electric generator'． When the tide rises，water comes through the dam，the turbines turn and the electric generators work， producing electricity．When the tide falls，water goes out through the dam， the turbines turn again．The electric generators continue to work．
Tidal energy has its advantages．Using tidal energy to produce electricity is much cheaper than using the traditional energy， like coal or gas． For example， the Rance Tidal Power Station in France has been there for over 50 years， producing around 5.000.000TWh of electricity each year． The cost is only 1.3 cents/TWh．
Tidal energy can be used nearly 24 hours a day． As long as the sun， the earth and the moon exist，we can use it to produce electricity． But without sunshine， there is no solar energy． When there is no wind，electric generators will not work． In addition， with the development of modern technology， tidal energy can be stored and used to produce electricity continuously．
However， we still have some problems to solve． It is difficult to build a dam in the sea， and the cost is very high．Moreover it's expensive to keep a tidal power station in its best condition．Scientists are working on them．
（1）A tidal power station is best built ．
A．at a river mouth with wind
B． along the coast with waves

D．keep the dam in good condition
（3）What advantage does tidal energy have？
A． We can use it to get useful tide．
B． It can improve the ocean environment．
C． We can use it nearly all the time．
D． It meets 16． 4% of the electricity needs．
（4）How can we make better use of tidal energy？
A． By digging more bays and river mouths．
B． By building cheaper tidal power stations．
C． By closing traditional electric power plants．

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.
