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.
