Dangers from Outer Space

What is the greatest threat to life on our planet? Is it climate change? Shortages of food or water? Or might an altogether bigger danger come from somewhere further away: space?

We’re not talking about an attack by little green men here. Instead, how about being hit by a large falling star, beat by deadly universal rays or fried by the energy of an erupting star?

It wouldn’t be the first time that our Earth has had a rough ride over the last 3.7 billion years, with some disastrous events. The most famous mass extinction(灭绝)was 66 million years ago, when it’s widely believed that a meteorite(陨石)killed off the dinosaurs. A 110-mile-wide crater in Mexico with the same geological age supports this theory.

Believe it or not, this wasn’t the worst catastrophe in our planet’s history. That was when 96% of life was wiped out at the end of the Permian period, 252 million year ago. Scientists don’t know for sure why this happened, but any potential explanations carry with them the possibility that similar events could happen again.

Some experts believe that our Sun has a twin star which is too far away to observe directly. This huge sleeping star could twist the paths of orbiting icy rocks and cast them towards the rest of the Solar System.

Is this what happened 252 million years ago? Or is there instead, perhaps, a distant, ninth plant in our Solar System which pulls in passing comets(彗星)and sends them dashing our way?

The Sun that has given us the warmth is gradually turning into a deadly enemy. Like all stars, it is slowing dying, burning through its energy supplies. As it does so, it expands, and in about 2 billion years it will have grown so much that the heat will make life on planet Earth unbearable.

While all this sounds a little horrible, take comfort from the fact that the chance of being hit by a huge interstellar projectile(星际碰撞物)is unbelievably slim, and that 2 billion years is a very long time.

1.When did dinosaurs die out according to the passage?

A. 3.7 billion years ago. B. 252 million years ago.

C. 66 million years ago. D. 2 billion years ago.

2.Why was 96% of life destroyed at the end of the Permian period?

A. The cause is still unknown.

B. A huge falling star hit the earth.

C. A twin star cast icy rocks towards the Solar System.

D. A ninth planet pulled in passing comets.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. All stars will eventually run of energy.

B. Our planet will be attacked by little green men.

C. We will be fried by the energy of an erupting star.

D. A huge sleeping star will hit the earth in millions of years.

4.What is the author’s attitude toward the dangers from outer space?

A. Frightened. B. Relieved.

C. Worried. D. Doubtful.

Three Bird Summer

By Sara St. Antoine

Reviewed by Camryn Garrett

Genre: Realistic Fiction

Number of pages: 256

What’s the basic story line?

For his entire life, 12-year- old Adam has spent summers at his grandma’s cabin in Minnesota. But this year things are different. His parents have divorced. Apart from that, Adam’s cousins won’t be vacationing at the cabin with him. Also, Grandma seems to be acting differently. At first, she’s just a bit more forgetful than usual. But after spending more time with her, Adam realizes Grandma is “slipping.”

There are new neighbors at the cabin this summer, including a girl at Adam’s age named Alice. At first, Adam isn’t interested in spending time with her. But as time goes by, their friendship flourishes(繁荣). Throughout this unusual summer, Adam searches for hidden treasure with his new friend and begins to uncover family secrets as well.

Are the characters believable?

The characters are believable because they don’t have cookie-cutter(雷同的) personalities. Adam is quiet and shy and finds girls difficult to understand. Alice is adventurous and unlike any girl he has ever met. Readers will likely see aspects of their personalities in the characters and recognize their friendship too.

Who would like this book?

A holiday is any day when people lay aside their ordinary duties and cares. The word came from Old English. At first, holidays honored some holy events or persons. People in Great Britain and other countries speak of holidays as Americans speak of vacations.

Every nation has its special holidays. China observes New Year’s Day (January 1), May Day and National Day as legal holidays , as it was on Oct.1,1949 that the People’s Republic of China was founded. The Chinese have long celebrated the Chinese lunar year. In the United States, congress has declared several days as legal holidays such as New Year’s Day (January 1), Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday, Washington’s birthday, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day and so on. Some holidays celebrated special events in the development of a country, such as Greece’s Independence Day, Italy’s Liberation Day and India’s Independence Day.

In the United States, banks and schools usually close on a legal holiday. When such a holiday falls on Sunday, the following Monday is usually observed. Schools and organizations often observe days known as traditional holidays, although schools and business do not close then. Those holidays include Valentine’s Day and Halloween.

1.In the sentence “China observes New Year’s Day (January 1)’’, observe means ______

A. praises B. celebrates

Memphis Meats, a San Francisco startup company trying to create lab-grown meat from animal cells(细胞), released a video on Tuesday that shows the world’s first cultured meatball getting fried up in a pan.

“We watched how the meatball reacted in the pan, we heard the sizzle, we smelled the meat and it was exactly how you would expect a meatball to smell,” Memphis Meats chief executive Uma Valeti said in the video. “This is the first time a meatball has ever been cooked with beef cells that didn’t need a cow to be killed.”

Memphis Meats grows animal muscle tissue(组织) using stem cells of cows and pigs and feeds them oxygen and nutrients(营养物质), according to the Wall Street Journal. While there are no animals killed in making the meats, the firm does use fetal bovine serum(胎牛血清) from unborn cattle's blood to start the process.

So far, the cells grow in extremely thin layers, which is very expensive. Now it costs about $18,000 to produce a pound of Memphis Meats beef--compared to about $4 for store-bought beef.

But the company, founded by three scientists, has been experimenting growing meat from stem cells from cows, pigs, and chickens and says it’ll be selling its animal-free products to high-end customers in three to four years.

The company’s first line of products will include hot dogs, sausages, burgers and meatballs.

Valeti said in the video that his company’s process also produces 90 percent fewer greenhouse gases than traditional agriculture.

“The meat industry knows their products aren’t sustainable(可持续的),” Valeti told the Wall Street Journal. “We believe that in 20 years, a majority of meat sold in stores will be cultured.”

It’s too early to say if we’ll all be cooking lab-grown meatballs, chicken wings, and pork chops. But for now, there is a big push to be the first to bring these foods to our plates.

1.What can be the best title for the passage?

A. Lab-grown meat is to hit the market.

B. Lab-grown meat smells as delicious.

C. Lab-grown meat is animal-free.

D. Lab-grown meat will replace traditional meat soon.

2.What’s the biggest disadvantage of the lab-grown meat?

A. It is difficult to grow.

B. It is too expensive.

C. It is difficult to be accepted by customers.

D. It doesn’t have many varieties.

3.What can we know about the lab-grown meat?

A. The layers where it grows are very expensive.

B. Cattle’s blood is needed to feed the cells.

C. Lab-grown meat has nothing to do with animals.

D. The growing process costs a lot.

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Lab-grown meat tastes exactly like traditional meat.

B. Traditional meat industry is not sustainable.

C. Lab-grown meat is environmentally friendly.

D. Lab-grown meat is best suitable for frying.

Many arguments teenagers have with their parents are about one thing: independence. As you get older, you’ll want to do more stuff on your own, without your mom and dad tagging along with you. The arguments generally start when your parents think you aren’t ready for extra responsibility while you think you are. Arguing with your parents isn’t the best solution at all, but the best solution is gaining trust from your parents. 1.

●Understand that it’s not your parents who do not want you to have independence, they want the best for you and think you’re not ready or you’ll hurt yourself if you have the freedom to do whatever you want. Show your parents you can be sensible. 2.If you can’t get home by 9:30, they’ll never let you out after 10:00.

●Agree with them some “friends time” and some “family time” so that they know you won’t be spending your whole weekend out with your friends. 3.They won’t imagine you getting into trouble if they know how they are.

4. They won’t feel much worried letting you go off on your own if they know what you’re up to. Call in and tell your parents that you’re OK from time to time. The less they worry about you, the more independence you’ll gain.

5.If they find out, all that trust will be destroyed and then you'll never get the extra independence you ever wanted.

A. Show your parents how independent you are.

B. Never lie to your parents about where you’re going.

Katie was in big trouble.She was such a sweet kid; a third?grade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katies; she was never ever a discipline(纪律) problem. I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry.

It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom.Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch.
