Get ready! Five, four, three, two, one, blast off(发射)! With the last words, five rockets flew up into the sky.

These were not real rockets taking off, though. They were model rockets made by students from Beijing No. 65 Middle School. Using the science knowledge they had learned in class, the students built the rockets all by themselves.

Last week, students also from different schools in Beijing came to No. 65 Middle School to show off their good work at the opening of “Love Science Month”. It runs from the middle of October to mid-November.

Besides rockets, students also showed off robots, model cars and other machines they had made.

“Love Science Month” is very popular, for students can learn and have fun at the same time.

On Monday, students from No. 35 Middle School saw some real airplanes at Beijing Aviation Museum(北京航空博物馆). They were very excited.

“I have seen the biggest plane here and the one that flies highest,”said junior(初级的) student Zhong Zhenping.“I have learned a lot about planes here. I will study hard and become a pilot when I grow up,”he said.

There will be many other interesting science activities this month. Students will study space and the history of spaceflight, and also take part in competitions.

These will include making models of buildings, cars and planes.

With Yang Liwei becoming China’s first spaceman, students now want to know more about the science behind sending people into space.

Tu Yuanhua, a teacher from Dongcheng Student Science and Technology Center said, “ShenzhouⅤhas made students more interested in science. Through ‘Love Science Month’, they are learning a lot about it.”

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepee needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera soon. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.

The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. In that year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his pictures you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This new way of taking photos was called a Daguerreotype.

Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world, and people took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains. In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of films(胶卷) and other machines. But this did not stop them. For example, some in the United States worked so hard.

Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike(栩栩如生的).

Photography also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies(复制品) of the real world. They showed feelings, like other kinds of art.

Cars will run on solar power(太阳能) or electricity and will be much cleaner. They will be much safer. For example, if you are too close to another car or if you are driving dangerously, your car will slow down by itself.

Because there won’t be any spare land, new cities will have to be built in the sea. Some cities on water will have two levels. People will live on the upper level; the lower level will be used for traffic, shops and factories.

Biotechnology(生物技术) will make food better and healthier. Plants that are not affected by insects or illnesses will be developed. The taste of fruit and vegetables will be better and food will be kept longer.

New technology will be used to make TVs that are only 5cm thick. They will have pictures that are as clear as photos. Electrical appliances(电器) will be quieter and will be controlled by computer, they will also use 50% less power.

Using products of genetic engineering(基因工程产品), many new ways to cure(治愈) illnesses will be successful. Cures will be found for the flu and the common cold. However, some new illnesses will appear.
