Time Travel

If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare¡¯s play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you¡¯d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.

The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H.G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term ¡°time machine¡±, coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.

But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose

using cracks in time and space called ¡°wormholes¡±, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British

physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship ¡ª going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.

Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the ¡°grandfather paradox¡±. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born£®If the time traveler wasn't born, how would he travel back in time£¿

And would you really like to visit the future£¿In H£®G£®Wells' book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles(´¥½Ç).If that's what's in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.

The Effects of Stress

There is a famous expression in English£º¡°Stop the world£¬I want to get off£¡¡±This expression refers to a feeling of panic£¬or stress£¬that makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing£¬try to relax£¬and become calm again 1. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life£®Too much stress results in physical£¬emotional£¬and mental health problems£®

There are numerous physical effects of stress£®2. It can increase the pulse rate£¬make the heart miss beats£¬and can cause high blood pressure£®Stress can affect the respiratory system£®It can lead to asthma£®It can cause a person to breathe too fast£¬resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide£®Stress cilia affect the stomach£®3. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress£®

Emotions are also easily affected by stress£®People suffering from stress often feel anxious£®They may have panic attacks£®They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress£¬they often overreact to little problems£®For example£¬a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice£®4.

Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious-mental illnesses£®Depression£¬an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness£¬can be the result of continued and increasing stress£®Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress£®Eating disorders are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress£®5.

A£®Stress can make people angry, moody or nervous£®

B£®¡°Stress¡±means pressure or tension£®

C£®It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food£®

D£®It is obvious that stress can cause physical problems.

E£®Stress can affect the heart£®

F£®So stop the world and rest for a while£®

G£®If stress is allowed to continue£¬then one¡¯s mental health is put at risk£®

Technology is changing our lives. Our present aerospace (º½Ì캽¿Õ)companies are gradually disappearing as private space concerns are being born every day. I'm going to discuss three space?based businesses that are sure to soon influence us all.

First we have to make space travel cheaply and safely. Engine design is the main challenge. To make money in space, the cost of space travel will have to diminish£¨¼õÉÙ£©. This problem will be the most difficult to solve. Liquid fueled rockets are the only way to get out of Earth's orbit. Finding new ways to power the flight to space is also another big challenge.

Finding the key to cheap space travel might be the biggest story of our times. There are a lot of great minds working on this problem. And companies are pouring money into research and development. In the next few years we'll see the first sub?orbital tourist. And not long after that we should really start to see new and exciting things as competition heats up.

Spacecraft design and production will naturally follow rocket technology. All sorts of crafts will be needed for the wide uses they'll be tasked with. Several companies in the United States have already made small, low?cost test vehicles.

Resources in space will provide great mining profits to those who can afford the cost of setting up such a huge operation. Can you imagine finding a huge asteroid(СÐÐÐÇ) of pure gold? The benefit to mankind is limitless. Mining on other planets, like Mars, also adds CO2 into the very thin atmosphere. Over time this can lead to the formation of an atmosphere similar to Earth's.

Space is going to offer us untold opportunity and wealth. But this is only going to occur if wealthy investors step forward and fund the first steps forward. It is certain that technology will take us to worlds we could never have imagined.

1.The passage is mainly about ________£®

A£®the future of space travel

B£®the cost of space travel in the future

C£®the development of spacecrafts

D£®cheap travel in the future

2.What should be done first to make travel in space cheap and safe?

A£®A direct route from Earth to other stars should be found.

B£®Some new kinds of fuel should be used in the rockets.

C£®New material should be used to build the rockets.

D£®New rocket engines should be designed.

3.According to the passage mining on other planets might help ________£®

A£®increase the travel benefits there

B£®form the atmosphere like Earth's there

C£®bring some new species there

D£®create more job opportunities there

4.According to the passage, the space?based businesses are ________£®

A£®likely B£®imaginary

C£®unbelievable D£®valuable
