An
experimental
cleanup
device
called
RemoveDEBRIS
has
successfully
cast
a
net
around
a
dummy (
仿真的
) satellite, imitating a technique that could one day collect spaceborne garbage.
The
test,
which
was
carried
out
this
week,
is
widely
believed
to
be
the
first
successful
demonstration
of
space
cleanup
technology, experts
told
CNN.
And
it
symbolizes
an
early
step
toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space.
Millions of pieces of junk are turning around in orbit the result of 50 years of space travel and
few regulations to keep space clean. At orbital speeds, even a small bit of paint crashing with a
satellite can cause critical damage.
Various companies have plans to send thousands of new satellites into low-Earth orbit, already
the most crowded area.
The
RemoveDEBRIS
experiment is run by a company and researchers led by the U. K.'s Surrey
Space
Center
and
includes
Airbus,
Airbus-owned
Surrey
Satellite
Technology
Ltd.
and
France's
ArianeGroup.
Guglielmo Aglietti, the director of Surrey Space Center, said that an operational version of the
RemoveDEBRlS
technology would
cast
a
net
that
remains
fastened
to
the
main
satellite
so
the
debris can be dragged out of orbit. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up
to 10 meters long.
The
RemoveDEBRIS
satellite
will
conduct
a
few
more
experiments
in
the
coming
months,
including
testing
navigation
features
that
could
help
guide
the
satellite
to
a
specific
piece
of
debris.
Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist
at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said
the success of this week's experiment was exciting, but he cautioned against
There are still enormous barriers to clear before operational cleanup tasks are underway, he
said, and the most discouraging is figuring out how to fund such projects.
Aglietti, the Surrey professor who helped lead the
RemoveDEBRIS
project, said
will
lie
in
persuading
the
relevant
authorities
to
sponsor
these
tasks.
Aglietti
said
he
hopes
RemoveDEBRIS
will conduct a few cleanup tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces of junk in
the most crowded orbits.

They
hire
scientists to make new junk food almost irresistible. They might do this, for example, by adding
more sugar. Rats fed junk food for six weeks will even walk across a floor that gives them electric
shocks just to get more of such food.
Food ads often make unhealthy junk food seem healthy by featuring professional athletes, fit-
looking pop stars and smiling, active teens.
matter to them,
lesson Bryan created. It focused on the ways junk food is advertised, or marketed. A second group
received lessons that focused on health. These lessons informed students junk food is had, and
that foods like apples or carrots are a better choice. The students learned a bad diet can lead to
major weight gain, and that being overweight puts people at risk for serious diseases. They also
learned how eating well now can keep you healthy when you're older.
After
the
lessons,
the
kids
in

At 88, my grandmother Vera has dementia and barely recognizes me. But I'm determined to
help her age with dignity and grace in her home for as long as she can.
Since 2015, I've been a manager at Honor, a technology company that uses a website and an
app to pair professional caregivers (we call them Care Pros) with loved ones who need a hand. I
want to make sure we are offering all our clients (
客户
), including my grandmother, a service that
is
affordable,
with
people
who
are
reliable,
diverse
and
skilled.
On
Sundays.
Amy,
my
grandmother's most-loved Honor professional caregiver, comes over to get her dressed for church.
She loves the time she spends with Amy. That's the best gift I can give her and the best gift I can
give myself. Care giving can exhaust a family emotionally and physically. At Honor, we're trying to
create something that makes it easier for women to be moms, daughters, and sisters all at once.
That's why this company was built.
What sets Honor apart from other care giving services is that we're equally focused on treating
the Care Pros well. We pay higher-than-average rates and they can get health benefits and sick
leave. Most of our Care Pros are women, and a lot of them arc single mothers. The technology
behind our app allows Care Pros to set parameters (
参数
) based on when, where, and how much
they
want
to
work
so
they
can
control
their
schedules.
The
company
also
allows
continuity
of
care. Each Care Pro notes in the caregivers' app how the client is feeling or what should happen
on the following shift. That way, the client's family can stay up to date on their loved one's health.
When I was working with my team at Honor, I wanted to create opportunities for people who
looked like me. I'm proud to say that there are single moms and other women without traditional
educational training who lead teams here. The makeup of this company proves that people with
diverse backgrounds can be part of a successful tech company. This has to be a
model for the
future.
I'm confident it will happen.

Gene technology to benefit people
Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological
engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic
discussed by people.
The
greatest
thing
that
gene
technology
can
do
is
to
cure
serious
diseases
that
doctors
at
present
can
almost
do
nothing
with,
such
as
cancer
and
heart
disease.
Every
year,
millions
of
people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way
to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured
completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of
money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as
well. In addition, human life span(
寿命
) can be prolonged.
Gene
technology
can
help
people
to
give
birth
to
more
healthy
and
clever
children.
Some
families, with the English imperial(
皇室
) family being a good example, have hereditary(
遗传的
)
diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble
for
these
families.
In
the
past,
doctors
could
do
nothing
about
hereditary
diseases.
But
gene
technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and
correct it and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in
large
quantities.
In
the
past
few years,
scientists
have
succeeded
in
cloning
a
sheep;
therefore
these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will
not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal
way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.
(

What does
A. Gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.
B. The two murderers who killed the cloned baby.
C. The two diseases of cancer and heart disease.
D. Hereditary diseases and cancer.

What's the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.
B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.
C. Gene technology can help people to give birth of a baby.
D. Gene technology can help the English imperial family out.
(

)
In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases?
A. Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.
B. Using gene technology, scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.
C. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.
D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.

When I was a kid, I was the girl who kept the training wheels on my bike as long as possible.
Even my younger sister had got rid of them much earlier than me. But as I began to grow older,
this changed.
All this happened on the Bike Safety Day. It is supposed to be a fun day at school when all of us
kids bring our bikes to school and the school provides us with the opportunity to ride outside and
learn proper bike safety. Sounds like fun, right? No. In fact, it caused me to panic. What was I
going to say when my friends asked me about my training wheels?
With the pressure of everyone seeing my training wheels, I determined to let
them go. This
was the first big change I'd ever made on my own.
I went to my parents and told them all about my dilemma. They were more than happy to help.
We went outside and got my bike. Instead of running away and hiding behind, I stood in front of
my bike and took great pride in my decision as my dad removed the training wheels.
I got on and steadied myself. My heart raced but my feet and hands were calm. My dad started
to push before my feet even moved and suddenly I was off. The fear faded away and a relaxed
mind came into its place. It was crazy to think how quickly I learned something that took so long
for me to even try!
My
confidence
soared.
This
was
going
to
be
the
start
of
a
brand
new
world
for
me.
My
accomplishment would carry me forth to new goals and wins. I realized that if I set my mind to
something, I could achieve it.

Being forgiving to yourself and others can protect against stress and the harm it does to mental
health, according to a new study in the Journal of Health Psychology.
Researchers looked at the effects of lifetime stress on a person's mental health, and how more
forgiving people got along compared with people who weren't so forgiving. To do this, they asked
148
young
adults
to
fill
out
questionnaires
that
assessed
their
levels
of
lifetime
stress,
their
tendency to forgive and their mental and physical health.
No surprise, people with greater exposure to stress had worse mental and physical health. But
the
researchers
also
discovered
that
if
people
were
highly
forgiving
of
both
themselves
and
others,
that
characteristic
alone
almost
removed
the
connection
between
stress
and
mental
illness.
—
it's zero,
tendencies, you feel the immediate effects of stress in a severe way. You don't have anything to
cushion you against that stress.
How
a
forgiving
personality
protects
a
person
from
the
influence
of
severe
stress
is
hard
to
determine. The researchers infer that people who are more forgiving may adopt better skills to
deal with stress, or their reaction to major stressors(
压力源
)may be slow.
Though
more
research
is
needed
to
fully
understand
the
benefits
of
being
more
forgiving,
Toussaint believes

that saying a short prayer on forgiveness can help people take the edge off.
