【题目】 Attitude towards Space Trip

Do you want to spend a 10-day visit at the International Space Station? We have interviewed teenagers from around the world. They have different opinions about space trip.

Simon from England

“There are so many beautiful places to see on the earth. I'd like to visit these places first before spending lots of money going into space. I think it should be cheap enough for everyone to go, not just the rich and famous.”

Ben from Canada

“I think space travel is really bad for the space environment. We are sending more objects into space. When two objects in space crash, they break into smaller pieces and become space junk floating around. It's very dangerous for the tourists to travel in spaceship! ”

Maria from Germany

“Whether you like it or not, space trip is going to be an important thing in the future. It's a great idea to travel in space. I hope in 50 years' time that taking a holiday in space will be common. I'd really love to do it.”

Yoko from Japan

“Why do we want to travel into space? I'd rather go on holiday and stay in a hotel. It must be very boring to sit for hours in that small space shuttle(舱). I'd like to take a plane and go to another place on the earth.”

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据短文内容完成句子,每空不超过5个词。

“We live to work or we work to live” is a very famous question. The society is moving faster and no one has the time to think about whether the way we follow is the best solution. In fact, it’s hard to solve the problem: the balance(平衡) between work and personal life.

Maybe you say you don’t want to have a personal life. You want to work all the time to devote(奉献) yourself to your work. Before doing this, you’d better ask yourself, do you want to have a family?

The perfect example that shows the idea is Steve Jobs. He decided that no matter how rich he was or how nice it was to stay with his family, it’s more important to be creative and to bring new technologies. It’s clear that he gave up his personal life. People all over the world are thankful to him, but what about his family?

In my opinion, although work is important, we do need our personal life, such as family, friends and parties. We still need to work. And we should try our best to work well. But do remember that work is only one part of our life. Just like we need a balanced diet, we also need a balance between work and life.

1Everyone is too busy to ________ the question.

2It’s difficult to keep the balance ________.

3People all over the world are thankful to Steve Jobs because he ________ his personal life.

4According to the writer, ________ are also very important besides work.

5The writer thinks that work is ________ of our life.

【题目】 Famous and rich people can usually afford a nice home, a comfortable bed and delicious food. But on November 15, 2015, two famous people called Dickinson and Burke slept outside on the ground in only sleeping bags. That night, it was cold and the temperature dropped to zero degree.

Dickinson is a famous host from a TV show. Burke is a manager of a hockey (曲棍球 ) team. Both of them have plenty of money and can afford nice houses.

They slept in such a hard condition to help raise money for Covenant House, which provides shelter (居所) to homeless kids in Toronto and other big Canadian cities. During the long cold night, Dickinson couldn’t stay warm and finally gave up sleeping. “I think staying awake is a good choice at this point. I have a backache just after a few hours’ lying on the hard ground. Imagine how kids feel after weeks on the street?” she said.

There are about 10,000 homeless kids who have to live on the street during the year in Toronto, according to a report from Covenant House. The organization helps about 3,500 homeless kids every year.
