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．
（1）What does the underlined word "these" in Paragraph 2 refer to ？
A． Telescopes．
B． Satellites．
C． Pieces of space junk．
D． BBC news reports．
（2）Why is space junk considered a problem ？
A． It burns up after it re﹣enters the atmosphere．
B． It often stops the view of telescopes on Earth．
C． It could force new space tools to travel at slower speeds．
D． It may crash into other space tools causing damage or death．
（3）Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth's atmosphere so that ．
A． the tools can be reused later
B． the tools don't become space junk
C． the earth's atmosphere can stay clean
D． the effects of space flight can be studied
（4）How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk ？

Heads Up!
In November，the US Soccer Federation，the biggest soccer organization in the US introduces new rules to make the sport safer for young players．This organization
announced that players on its teams who are 10 or younger are no longer allowed to head the ball．Players aged from 11 to 13 have limits on how often they can practice heading．The new rules are designed to prevent kids from getting concussions﹣injuries caused by a blow to the head that shakes the brain inside the skull（头骨）．Common symptoms（症状） include headaches and dizziness．
A DANGEROUS MOVE
Heading the ball can be one of the riskiest parts of soccer．Sometimes the force of hitting the ball with their heads gives players concussions．But more often，players receive concussions when they jump to head the ball and accidentally knock heads with other players or fall and hit their heads on the grass．
"More concussions happen during the act of heading than any other action in soccer，"explains Dr．Robert Cantu，an expert on brain injuries．

The government in China plans to end its one﹣child policy （政策） and let families have two children instead．The plan was meant to balance （平衡） population development and stop a falling birth rate （出生率）．
China started the one﹣child policy in the 1980s．But the government allowed only a small number of couples to have two children．For example，some families in the countryside could have two children，if the first﹣born child is a girl．In 2013，the Chinese government gave other couples a chance to have two children if one of them was an only child．
Jiang Quanbao，a population expert，explained how Chinese families react to the newest policy．"Lots of young people in the cities are no longer interested in having a second child，"he said．
At the end of 2014，China had a population of 1.37billion people．But the labor market population will drop in 35years．That is to say，the country will be in great need of labor by the year 2050．With the"two children"policy，an increase in births can solve this problem．
66．Why does the government plan to end the one﹣child policy？
A．Because we need a larger population．
B．Because millions of people have jobs．
C．Because most families want to have a second child．
D．Because a falling birth rate must be stopped．
67．How do most young people in the cities react to the"two children"policy？
A．They support the policy．B．They don't think it is good．
C．They're very interested．D．They're not interested．
68．When will our country be seriously short of labor if the one﹣child policy continues？
A．In 2025．B．In 2035．C．In 2050．D．In 2070．
69．What's the correct time order of the following events？
①．The"two children"policy was announced．
②．China had a population of 1.37billion people．
③．Some families in the countryside could have two children．
④．Families could have two children if one parent was an only child．
A．③④②①B．②①④③C．④③②①D．③①④②
70．What may happen after we have the"two children"policy？
A．There will be more old people．
B．The labor market population will drop．
C．Almost every family will have a second child．
D．The population development will be balanced．
Once there were many thousands of Gourma Desert （沙漠） elephants in Mali， a country in West Africa． Now． there are fewer than four hundred．
Why did the number of the elephants drop so quickly？ On the one hand， the elephants' main lake． their only water source （来源） dried up． On the other hand，the land which the elephants lived on was overused by humans．
To protect the elephants' living environment， the Mali Elephant Project （MEP） was started in 07． MEP met with local people and helped them make rules of using land and water． As a result， the situation became better and there was more food， forest and grassland．
However． from 2012 to 2016， poaching （偷猎） and illegaltrade in the elephants increased rapidly Eighty﹣three elephants were lost in 2015 alone， and another fifty﹣one elephants were killed in 2016．"If this situation goes on， all the Gourma elephants will be killed by 2020．" said a member of MEP．
Luckily． the voice of MEP was heard． More organizations （组织） have joined together to educate the local people that trading elephants is against the law．Elephant poaching has dropped to a very low level． The local people have learned to live peacefully with the elephants，one of the wildlife treasures in the world．

Frank and his brother Jack lived near the ocean． Frank was outgoing while Jack was shy． They liked doing different things． Frank was famous for organizing games of beach volleyball， football， and any other sport imaginable． Jack preferred to draw， paint， or build sandcastles（沙堡）．
Frank didn't understand why Jack would rather do artistic things than play ball． He believed sports often allowed many kids to play together． That was when Jack's idea hatched． He would show Frank what doing things together looked like!

﹣Someone has stolen my money!I felt nervous，because his money was in my hand．Some people suggested the driver drive the bus to the police station，but some were against it because they were in a hurry to go back home．The whole bus was very noisy．The driver then stopped the bus by the roadside and turned on the lights．At that time，one passenger said，﹣Turn off the lights and give the thief （小偷） a chance to take out the money．‖Then the bus got dark．When I was still thinking about whether to take out the money or not，the lights were turned off again．I became even more nervous．The lights were turned on again but they got the same result．Then the passengers fell into an open discussion．Later，someone said﹣give him the last chance!‖I felt awakened （醒悟的） and took out all the money when the lights were turned off again．
For many years I have been grateful to those who gave me three chances．When the first and second chances come，you may not be prepared well or don't have enough courage to act．When the third chance comes，you should know clearly what you should do．

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．
B．Because the owner of the network is polite．
C．Because it is free．
D．Because it is safe．

Birth order﹣﹣﹣does it matter？ Are you different because you are the first， second， or third child in your family﹣﹣﹣or maybe the last of nine？
A study found that first﹣borns have an average（平均的）IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order， perhaps because first﹣borns often help younger brothers and sisters， which improves their own skills． In 2007， an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first﹣borns ，33% are middle children， and 23% are last﹣borns． First﹣borns are more likely （可能的）to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay．
If first﹣borns are more successful， last﹣borns are generally more agreeable． They are also more likely to be funny， possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table． Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families， and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four． According to a 2007 Time magazine article， "The power of Birth Order，" last﹣borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen．
Then there are the middle children； we have not ignored（忽视） them! Many middle children are short of one﹣on﹣one time with their parents． They often feel short﹣changed： the oldest gets more rights， and the youngest is "spoiled（宠坏的） "．Though they may be ignored， middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults．
