The rockets take astronauts and man-made satellites into space. The satellites are used for communication, weather monitoring and research. But how do satellites stay up without Falling down?
There are two opposite forces acting on the satellite. One of them is the force of gravitation(地心引力), which tries to pull the satellite toward the earth. The other force is created by the rotation (旋转)of the satellite around the earth. This force tries to take the satellite away from the earth. With these two forces, the satellite goes round and round. The gravitational pull of the earth is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away.
Everything that goes up has to come down. It is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back to the earth. As time goes by, the satellite loses its speed, which makes the gravitational pull stronger than the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite crash (坠落)down to the earth.

There were two men who lived next to each other. One of them was a retired teacher and the other was an insurance agent(保险代理人). Both of them had planted many different plants in their gardens. The retired teacher seldom watered his plants and didn't pay a lot of attention to them. But his neighbor was very careful with his plants and watered them often.
The retired teacher's plants were small, but still looked okay, while the insurance agent's plants were much bigger and greener. One night, there was heavy rain and wind because of a minor(较小的) storm. The next morning, both of the neighbors came out to check on their gardens. The insurance agent saw that his plants had been ripped from the ground and were totally destroyed. But the retired teacher's plants were not damaged at all but stood firm.
The insurance agent was surprised. He went to consult(咨询) the retired teacher. “We both grew the same plants and I cared for my plants better than you did. How could your plants still be okay?”
The retired teacher smiled and said, “Because you gave your plants too much attention. You made it too easy for them to grow. I gave my plants just a little bit of water, so their roots had to grow deeper to absorb(吸收) more water. That is why my plants didn't die.”
