By the middle of the 21 century we will be building space stations which will circle the earth and will probably circle the moon too. We will have established (创建) bases on planets like Mars (火星). At present (目前), we use radar (雷达) to “watch “ nearly 8000 objects in space. In addition, there are at least 30000 bits of rubbish from the size of marbles (弹子) to the size of basketballs flying round the earth. These will be increasing in number by the year 2050 and will be circling the earth. All these bits and pieces are watches by NORAD (North America Air Defense). NORAD still have more and more rubbish t watch as the years go by. Some bits fall back to the earth, like the Russian satellite C954, which crashed in the Northern Territories of Canada in 1978. Crashing rubbish could give us a sad headache. Most of the rubbish will be staying up there, we hope! The bad fact is that we who are alive today will not be clearing up our own rubbish. Perhaps we will just be watching from some other safe places as it goes round and round the earth!

When the plane was waiting at the airport a huge snake climbed up the steps and into the plane without being noticed. It went to sleep under the pilot’s seat. Soon the passengers stepped into the plane and it took off. A little girl called Mary took out a whistle(哨子) and began playing herself a happy tune. But none of the other passengers liked the music.

If you could look inside your body, you could see a magnificent machine at word-more magnificent than any machine a person could build. As you are reading these words and understanding them, your body is breathing, hearing, moving, feeling, digesting(消化)your last meal, making you hungry for the nest and performing hundreds more takes without you even noticing. The different part of the body do different jobs and each part depends on the others.

A machine needs fuel (燃料) to make its parts work. Our fuel is our food. When we swallow food it goes down into our stomach and mixes with chemicals which break it down into a liquid.
