I worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员)at a restaurant a few months ageI also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busyOne night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tablesI guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at the timeAnd I imagined that if there was something valuable in the wallet, the owner would be backSure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a walletI asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described tie exactly, I gave him the walletHe expressed his thanks when I handed it to himHe asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “no”, at once he opened it and showed that it had nearly $800 in cash(现金).He took not a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this “A reward(酬劳) for your honesty, young girl” he said and then turned and walked away

       Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get itBut it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the walletThe good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy

If you watch the sky about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some “moving stars” But they’re not real starsThey are man-made satellitesAnd the biggest of all is the International Space StationISS国际空间站).

From now until July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth, and people can see it just with their eyesThe ISS is the biggest man-made satellite because scientists want to live on itThey think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there

When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in spacePeople will stay an study there with many of the things they have at homeLaboratories, living rooms and power stations are being builtThe ISS is the most ambitious(雄心勃勃) and expensive space program everBillions of dollars are being spent on it every year

China is not an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experimentsChina sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it

The ISS is not finished yetMore than 100 parts need to be put onScientists hope it will be finished as soon as possibleAfter it’s finished, more than 90%of the world’s population will be able to see the Space StationSo keep looking up, and maybe you’ll see it get bigger
