  Throughout history soldiers have fought bloody battles inorder to control the high ground.There is no doubt that thisis a tactical(战术的)necessity.Standing abouve your enemy isan advantage that often leads to vietory.

  Nowadays,high ground does not just mean hill tops.Italso means space,which has become an increasingly importantpart of military strategy(军事战略).

  With its more advanced satellite technologies,America isthe major power in space.And now the US Air Force has putinto service a new weapon designed to jam enemy satellite communications.It is an important step toward US control of space.

  The so-called Counter Communications System(反卫星通信系统)was declared operational on November 1.The ground-based system uses electromagnetic radio frequencites(无线电磁波)to stop enemy satellites working on a shortterm basis.

  “A short-term effect ensures that during the time of need,the enemy's space-based capability(能力)is reduced,”said a US military official.“Following the time of need,their capabilities can return to its original state.”

  The system is made up of an antenna(天线),transmitters(发射机)and receivers and can be easily transported around in a vehicle.

  To control space was one of four aims of a national space policy started by former president Bill Clinton in 1996.The goal is to make sure US forces can rely on space-based services and to deny an enemy any similar benefits.

  The US military has experimented with several“anti-sat-ellie”weapons,including lasers,to destroy or damageenemy units.

  Theresa Hitchens,vice president of the Centre for Defence Information in Washington,welcomed the new systemas long as it does not create rubbish that could threaten globaluse of space.She believed it should not destroy satellties.only stop them working for a while.

  “Unfortunately,it seems we are not going to limit ourgoal for‘space control’to non-violent systems,”she said,rai sing the danger of a space arms race.

  To change the balance of power in space the EU and China are working together on the Galieo project.By 2008 the system will be in place as an alternative to the Americans'global positioning service.

Last year I worked in Nepalfor three months. When I had a few days off, I decided to go into the jungle(丛林). I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.

We started our trip at six in the morning with two elephants carrying our things. It was hot, but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find tigers. We climbed onto the elephants’ backs to see better. However, it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the daytime.

Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We moved nearer and found a dead deer. This was the tiger’s lunch! Suddenly, I started to feel very frightened.

Then the tiger jumped out suddenly, about five hundred kilos and four meters long. It caught Kamal’s leg between its teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly ran away to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep!
