更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂If asked whether space exploration ( 探索) should continue，most Americans would give an
immediate response either in favour of continuing or in favour of ending space exploration．A common
response would be that space exploration is a waste of money．An average American，uneducated on the
subject，might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no
value．Someone ignorant of the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is
about all that happens．Research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched．
This also costs the government money．Does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense?
One argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on Earth．
Actually ， the money goes to workers and scientists that support National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) missions，and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors
of the US economy．Boeing is a partner of NASA for aircraft，the same company that makes commercial
aircraft for the airline industry．
Another benefit of continuing space exploration is the many spinoff technologies(衍生技术) it
provides．The artificial heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle．The handheld Jaws of Life
used to save victims from car accidents originated from the system used to separate the space shuttle from
its booster rockets．Insulation in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the
technology used to insulate the space shuttle．
There are direct benefits to the economy provided by NASA missions as well as spinoff
technologies．These advances are found in food，building materials，medical procedures and the
vehicles we drive．While it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being
spent on space exploration，the benefits it provides outweigh the negative aspects．As a matter of fact，
the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives．

B．By offering analyses．

Edmond Halley was an English scientist. He studied the observations of comets( 彗星)which other
scientists had made. The orbit(轨道) of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He
could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton
thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it.
He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse(椭圆形).
Then Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by
scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682
all had the same orbit. Yet their appearance had been 75 or 76 years apart.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley
thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets as people thought. He
decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come
back again.
It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain though(然而) to make a prediction(预言) of what would
happen in the future. He predicted that this would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before
Halley's prediction could be tested. In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had
died some years before. Ever since then that comet has been called Halley's comet, in his honour.
4.Edmond Halley figured out the orbit of .
A.some different comets appearing several times

D.several comets appearing at the same time
5.Halley made his discovery .
A.by doing experiments
B.by means of his own careful observation
C.by using the work of other scientists
D.by chance
6.When did Halley make a surprising, but correct prediction?
A.In 1704. B.In 1705. C.In 1706. D.In 1707.

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion，unless you learn how to deal with it. They
warn that anger can lead to heart disease，stomach problems，headaches，emotional problems and
possibly cancer.
1 Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger，and scream
and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called
repressing anger.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than
expressing it. They said that when a person is angry，the brain releases the same hormones （荷尔蒙）.
They speed the heart rate，raise blood pressure，or sugar into the blood，etC. 2
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those
who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease，and they believe that those who
keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
3 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger，
then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is，they say，“ 4 Wait until your
anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. ”
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you
angry. 5
A. Anger may cause you a cancer.
B. Do not express your anger while angry.
