Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)

In general, laws for children are a good thing. One hundred years ago in industrial countries, children worked 18 hours a day in a factory at age seven. The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep or was not fast enough. Both parents and teachers could do the same.

Today, there are many laws about children all over the world. Some people think children must obey rules or they should be punished others do not agree. The Inuits or Eskimos in Alaska almost never punish their children. The parents don’t hit them. If the children go too far, the parents punish them by making fun of them.

Children in other parts of the world are not as lucky as Eskimo children. American parents can spank(打……臀部) their children at home, but a teacher cannot hit a child in public school. This is also true in Germany. In contrast(对比), it is against the law for anyone to hit a child in Sweden. Swedish parents cannot spank their children. The children also have a special government official who works for their rights. There is even a plan for children to divorce from their parents though this is not a law yet!

Bath, 97 miles west of London, is the largest city in Somerset, England. It became a World Heritage Site in 1987.

It is the second-brightest object in our night sky after the moon. It is one of man's the greatest scientific achievements. It's the International Space Station (ISS) that moves around Earth.

Nov 20 is the stations’ 20th birthday. In 1998, the first piece of the ISS was sent into space. Since then, 230 people from 18 countries have visited it. Five space agencies –those of the United States, Russia, Canada, Europe and Japan- worked together to build it. Weighing about 450 tons, it contains many different parts.

Generally, the ISS holds three to six people at one time. Astronauts living there work on a variety of different science projects. The ISS has hosted over 1, 500 such projects, according to NASA(美国航空航天局) But the station's hardware is aging. In 2011, Russia announced that the ISS will be retired (退役) in 2020 in order to prevent it from becoming dangerous "space junk". However, the US later said it would use repairs to make its service life longer to 2025.

The ISS costs 21-28 billion yuan to operate each year. Many believed that this money could be better spent improving conditions on Earth. In February, US President Donald Trump announced plans to end support for the ISS by 2025. The US will use its money for other projects, like next-generation rockets and deep-space missions.

Although China is not part of the ISS program, it has helped with some of the station's experiments. China will soon have its own space station, becoming the third country after Russia and the US to do so. The station is set to be finished around 2020.
