Until the very latest moment of his existence, man has been bound to the planet on which he originated and developed. Now he had the capability to leave that planet 56.________ and move out into the universe to those worlds which he has known previously only directly. Men have explored parts of 57.________ the moon, put spaceships in orbit around another planet and possibly within the decade will land onto another planet and 58.________ explore it. Can we be too bold as to suggest that we may be 59.________ able to colonize other planet within the not - too - distant 60.________ future ? Some have advocated such a procedure as a solution to the population problem. Ship the excess people off to the moon. But we must keep in head the billions of dollars we 61.________ might spend in carrying out the project. To maintain the earth's population at its present level. we would have to blast off into space 7,500 people every hour of every day of the year. Why are we spending so little money on space 62.________ exploration ? Consider the great need for improving many 63.________ aspects of the global environment, one is surely justified in his concern for the money and resources that they are poured 64.________ into the space exploration efforts. But perhaps we should look at both sides of the coin before arriving hasty 65.________ conclusions.

One day in September we were doing repair work on my parents' old house to get it ready for my youngest daughter's wedding. We had to 16 a great climbing plant that had grown 17 a roof beam (房梁), so that we could repair the roof and 18 the walls.
When my husband was taking the plant away, he found the 19 of a blackbird that had made its home in the leaves. He then 20 something 21 among that mass of earth and straw of the nest. He broke the earth around it into pieces with his finger tips and, to his 22 , saw glittering gold. It was a child's bracelet (手镯). He ran into the house to 23 me.
"You won't believe that the 24 blackbirds not only steal the best fruit we 25 to feed on," he said, "but they also want their children to 26 in a cradle of gold!"
When my daughter came over on the eve of the 27 ,we told her about this 28 occurrence.
"Don't you remember, mother?" she said with a loud 29 . "When I was eight, you gave me a bracelet that I 30 a few days later while out playing in the yard? It was this one!"
As the bracelet no longer 31 its owner and was dirty, I decided to take it into my safekeeping.
In December of the following year, the young couple's baby son was baptized (受洗礼). Among the 32 the newborn baby received, I placed his mother's bracelet, now shining like 33 . I hope that if my grandson 34 loses it, one of the 35 that live in my backyard is somewhere nearby.
