  On the night of the play, Jack was at the theatre early and he was already dressed in a suit of policeman’s clothes long before the end of the first scene.He certainly looked the part all right, he thought as he admired himself in the mirror.

  Then he suddenly felt nervous.After all, it was his first time to have a part in a play.How could he face all those people watching the play? He put his head in his hands and tried to remember his lines(台词),but nothing came to his mind.

  A knock on the door made him look up.He was to go on stage in the second scene.“Have I missed my part and destroyed(破坏)the play for everybody?” he thought to himself.But it was only the manager.She noticed how nervous he was and suggested he should stand near the stage where he could watch and follow the play.It was a good way of getting rid of this nervousness, she said.

  If you watch the sky about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some "movingstars".But they're not real stars.They are man-made satellites.And the biggest of all is the International Space Station(ISS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 eyes.The ISS is the biggest man-made satellite because scientists want to live on it.They 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 space.People will stay and study there with many of the things they have at home.Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built.The ISS is the most ambitious(雄心勃勃)and expensive space program ever.

  Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year.

  Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping-stone(垫脚石)for future space exploration.

  "The ISS will help us better understand the human body, explore space and study the earth.It can help us make life on the earth better," said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.

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

  The ISS is not finished yet.More than 100 parts need to be put on.Scientists hope it will be finished as soon as possible.After it's finished, more than 90% of the world's population will be able to see the Space Station.So keep looking up, and maybe you'll see it get bigger.

  BALTIMORE, MARYLAND-An old postcard changed the lives of an eleven-year-old boy and a very sick woman.The postcard had a picture of the steamship Titanic.The Titanic was the largest ocean ship in the world.It hit an iceberg(冰山)and sank on April 14,1912.More than 1 ,500 of the 2 ,200 people on the ship were killed.

  The postcard was passed from one person to another for more than 80 years:Then it appeared at a card show for people who liked to collect post cards.An eleven-year-old boy, Joey Russell, came to the show with his grandfather.His grandfather knew everything about the Titanic and its trip from England to New York.“ Let' s buy that postcard ,” he told Joey.“ It will be important someday.”

  Two years later, Joey's grandfather took him on a special trip.They went on a trip to the North Atlantic Ocean to watch as workers pulled the Titanic up from the bottom(底)of the ocean.Joey put his special postcard in his bag for the trip.On the ship, Joey met Edith Haisman.This woman was on the Titanic when it sank.She was one of the people who were rescued.Joey pulled the postcard out of his pocket.“Please sign this, Mrs.Haisman.” he said.She was happy to write her name on the back of the postcard.

  When Joey got home, he put the postcard away and forgot about it.Then Kate Shelley , one of Joey 's friends , told him that her mother was very sick.She needed an operation , but there was a problem.The operation was very expensive, and the family needed $80,000 to pay for it.Friends and relatives tried to help.But where could they get so much money?

  Then when Joey went to see the new movie " Titanic", he had an idea." Millions of people are seeing this movie and reading about the Titanic ,” Joey thought.He remembered the old postcard with Edith Haisman 's signature on it.“Maybe I can sell it for some money.Then I can help Kate 's mom.”

  Joey told his mother and father about his idea to help Mrs.Shelley.His parents helped him try to sell the postcard to the person who would pay the most money for it.Joey’s story was on television and in news papers.Joey and Kate even went to New York to be on a national TV show.After the show, many people called in to offer money for the Titanic card.Someone bought it for $60,000.
