BIG things were happening in my life the summer after I turned 13. In the middle of that summer, my parents my entire world when they told me they were getting divorced. I couldn’t believe that our family was going to . Though I always knew my parents weren’t very happy and they often fought, I still wanted my family to stay .
My life changed completely after the divorce. My mother and I moved into a small apartment town, while my father and brother, Bill, stayed in our house. I now became a visitor I went to see my Dad and Bill on the weekends. And immediately I had my stepfather, Dan, I showed no interest in. I was clearly sad, especially after Dan and my mother married I realized that there was no way that things could change the way they were.
Even though I refuse all Dan’s trying to get to know me and wasn’t very nice to him, he never gave on me. Gradually, I began to trust him. I realized that we actually had some things in common, especially when came to movies and TV shows. We spent a lot of time together out to watch movies. That gave us a chance to talk and get to know each other .
Better still, Dan showed an interest in me that I had experienced from my own father. Dan was always around when I needed on school or friends. Once I began to Dan, the three of us began spending a lot of time together. We often went out to eat and short trips. Eventually, I discovered that I finally had the happy family that I had always .
I now realize my parents were about getting the divorce. Their breakup was the best thing to happen for all of us. My father also found happiness—he and had another child, my half-sister, Michelle.
At 13, I an important truth –change is not always the worst thing that can happen. Sometimes, it is just what we need most.

考点:考查故事类短文
Since people first sent rockets into space in the 1950s, we have been leaving behind all sorts of things. Some of them, like the camera, were lost by astronauts while they did work outside their spaceship. But much of the space junk is made up of little pieces of things that were once bigger objects, until they struck each other and broke apart.
Some things we send into space fall back toward the earth and burn up in the atmosphere. But larger pieces sometimes survive the extreme heat and hit the ground or the ocean at great speeds. So there is always concern that something may fall from the sky and do some harm.
But space junk falling on housetops (屋顶) is not the biggest worry. Scientists are concerned about what happens when an empty rocket strikes another while orbiting (绕轨道飞行) the earth. Two big things become many smaller things. They then hit other things. The pieces get smaller and smaller until they form a cloud of junk that blocks the path of future space vehicles.
So what can be done to clean up the space around our planet? Marco Castronuovo, an Italian researcher, talks about sending a satellite into space that would get very close to some of the larger pieces of space junk. The satellite would connect a small rocket to the useless object. When the rocket explodes, it pushes the junk into a lower and slower orbit, nearer the earth. After a time, the junk burns up in the atmosphere.
Mr. Castronuovo has proposed (提议) using a number of small satellites with robotic arms. One arm would catch the space junk, and another arm would connect the rocket. He imagines that each satellite would jump from one large piece of junk to another. He thinks this method could destroy about ten large objects each year.
Scientists have been concerned about space junk for many years. Right now, the costs of the clean-up have been too great. Mr. Castronuovo says his system could be put in place for a much more reasonable amount of money.

Everyone is at it, even my neighbors. I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn’t done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction (网上拍卖).
Buying for beginners: Sign up on www. ebay. co. uk. Most items(e.g. tables, computers, and books)ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with “ Buy It Now ” and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away.
If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids(出价)for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish you get an email telling you whether you have won the item.
How to pay: Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a check or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card (信用卡).
Selling made simple: If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends’ advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid.
The big things in life: It’s easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collected or sent by delivery men. Check the ways of delivery before you bid.
