Can you remember the first piece of music you bought? If you’re in your 20s, it was 【1】 (probable) a CD. More than ten years ago, you 【2】 (go) into a music shop and bought it. Then a part of the money went to the band or the singer—that’s 【3】 musicians made their money.

Nowadays, however, young people in the UK hardly ever go to the music shops. In fact, there aren’t many music shops left there. Now lots of young people would laugh at the idea of 【4】 (buy) CDs from music shops. They get music from the Internet without paying. Of course it is 【5】 the law. However, 【6】 recent survey found that each teenager has about 800 songs on their phone that are from the Internet without paying.

In this case, some young British bands are trying some interesting ways 【7】 (make) money. In the past bands could make some money from T-shirts, CDs and pictures 【8】 they need to be more creative now. Rock band Franz Ferdinand keep people 【9】 (interest) in their toys, bags, books and even shorts with their own brands.

Some of other big names in British music are joining in. Coldplay produces water 【10】 (bottle) for their new song. If you want snacks, you can check Robbie Williams’s website—it really sells biscuits.

The man-made moon is, in fact, a satellite. It carries a huge space mirror so that it can throw back sunlight to the Earth. The moon will fly about 500 kilometres above Chengdu, a south-western city of China, and work like the Moon at night. Since it runs much closer to the Earth than the Moon, it’s much brighter and there will be no need to use street lights in the city. According to scientists, Chengdu can save around 174 million dollars in electricity if the man-made moon brightens 50 square kilometres of the city.

For now, the artificial moon is still going through testing. Although it has many advantages, quite a lot of people think that creating more artificial light is harmful to the environment, as light pollution is a growing problem in our modern world. Actually, there is no need to worry. Chinese scientists say the mirror on the moon can be controlled, so they can decide its direction, brightness and so on. They can even turn it off when needed. Moreover, when the man-made moon works, people will see only a bright star above. It won’t be a giant moon as imagined.

Several countries, including China, are all looking to use energy from space, and artificial moons have been under discussion for some time. In 1999, Russia tried sending a space mirror into space, but it failed. And later the project was cancelled, according to the New York Times. And now, it seems that space light has come closer.

“Just a minute,” answered someone. After a long time, the door opened. A small old woman stood before me. I took her bag and let her take my arm. Then we moved slowly to the taxi. She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to be nice to my passengers, because I want others to be nice to my mother, too.”

When we got in the taxi, she asked, “Could you drive through the city?” “It’s not the shortest way,” I answered. “Oh, just do it,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice（安养院）. I don’t have any family left.” For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me a building—she and her family once lived there. Sometimes she asked me to drive slowly in front of some buildings, and she would look at them and say nothing.

We got to the hospice. I took her bag to the door. “How much should I pay you?” she asked, “Nothing,” I answered. Without thinking, I gave her a hug. “You make an old woman happy,” she said. “Thank you.”

I didn’t have any more passengers that day. I just thought about that woman. I’m happy that I helped her. It was a small thing, but it was a great moment in life.
