(Renee-a beautiful princess; Broo-a blue bear; Nahloo-a magical place)

When the Princess Renee heard about Broo, she came down from her castle. She found Broo while he was busy eating honey.

“Mr. Bear,” the Princess said, “you are welcome in Nahloo. Here we share with each other. We don’t take things from each other.”

Broo thought about it for a moment and realized that he had made a mistake. “Well,” he said, “maybe drinking all that milk wasn’t the best idea.”

The Princess continued, “Mr. Bear, you can drink and eat, but you won’t feel good because you have never made any contribution to anyone else. I think you’ll find that it is better to be full in your heart, not just in your stomach.” After saying this, the Princess went back to the castle, leaving Broo alone.

One day, Broo was going to take lots of cookies from the rabbits, then he remembered what the Princess said to him. So Broo decided not to eat the cookies. The rabbits were surprised and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Bear. Now these cookies will taste sweeter because they are given by you, my friend. If you like, come back tomorrow and we can have the cookies together.”

Broo was filled with joy and went through the land. He gave back everything he had taken. In return, he received a promise from everyone to share their food with him. Broo was so delighted that he started dancing in the moonlight with the Princess as his partner.

On April 2, we said goodbye to Tiangong I, China's first space lab. According to the China Manned Space Agency(中国载人航天), Tiangong I re-entered the Earth's atmosphere(大气层)and some of its debris(碎片)fell into the South Pacific Ocean.

There are many spacecraft(宇宙飞船)that are still in orbit(轨道)above the Earth. After finishing their trips, they will all re-enter the Earth's atmosphere like Tiangong I.

There are two types of re-entries: controlled re-entry and uncontrolled re-entry.

Some satellites and manned spacecraft come back to the Earth in a controlled re-entry. Experts calculate(计算)the path of the falling spacecraft and its speed. They can guide the spacecraft to fall in a chosen area.

Some spacecraft may have problems while in space after a certain amount of time. These spacecraft come back in an uncontrolled re-entry. It is hard to tell when and where these spacecraft will fall until the last few hours. The US space station Skylab came back partially uncontrolled in 1979. Parts of the station fell in western Australia, but no one was hurt.

During re-entry, most of the spacecraft will burn up while passing through the Earth's atmosphere. Only a small amount of the debris will reach the ground. The debris typically ends up falling into the ocean, China Daily reported.

1.The debris from Tiangong 1 .

A.fell into the South Pacific Ocean B.fell in western Australia

C.fell in the central part of the US D.fell into the North Pacific Ocean

2.When the spacecraft finishes its trip, it will .

A.burn up and disappear B.speed up and fly back to the Earth

C.enter another orbit and stay in space D.re-enter the Earth's atmosphere

3.From the passage, we know there are types of re-entries.

A.one B.two C.three D.four

4.Which of the following is TRUE about the US space station Skylab?

A.It came back in a controlled re-entry.

B.Some people were hurt by its debris.

C.Parts of it fell in western Australia.

D.It was directed to fall into the ocean.

5.This story most probably comes from .

A.a story book B.a movie review C.a science magazine D.a government report
