Every now and then you may see news of satellites(卫星) sent into space. On Feb 21, for example, US company SpaceX took 46 satellites into orbit(轨道). On Feb 27, China sent 22 satellites into space. Why do we need so many satellites What do they do out there
At present, there are more than 3,000 active satellites moving around the Earth. Satellites do all kinds of work. They are used to send TV signals, give you directions on the road and help scientists do research.
For example, the 22 satellites China just sent up are part of the Beidou Navigation(导航) Satellite System. Shared bikes that use BeiDou chips(芯片) can be found more easily.
Before satellites, TV signals didn’t go very far. Mountains or tall buildings would block(阻碍) them. Phone calls to faraway places were also a big problem. With satellites, TV signals and phone calls can be sent directly to a satellite and back down to different places on Earth. SpaceX’s Starlink project is trying to go further. It plans to use satellites to provide Internet in the future.
Satellites can also provide information about clouds, oceans, land and ice. They help scientists predict changes in weather and climate. By closely watching wildfires and volcanoes, satellites help people deal with natural disasters. Farmers can use satellite images to decide the best time to water their fields.
Some satellites fly near other planets. They may look for water on Mars or take close-up pictures of other planets. In 2020, video website Bilibili sent a satellite into space. Its job is to look at other planets and share the pictures and videos with Bilibili’s users.
Like any other machines, satellites do not last forever. When they die, they either burn up or become space junk. Someday we may need to send “garbage trucks” to clean them up.
14．What’s the function(作用) of Paragraph 1
A．To introduce the topic of satellites.
B．To describe what satellites are like.
C．To explain the importance of satellites.

Zhengyi, in her twenties, was trying to find out how eclipses (月食) of the moon happened. Through many experiments, she finally explained the eclipse clearly and currently.
Unlike boys, most of the girls in China couldn’t get proper education at that time. However, Zhengyi was lucky enough to be taught by her family at home as a little girl. She also gained a lot of knowledge from reading her grandfather’s collection of books and her interest in astronomy (天文学) and math grew. At the age of 18, Zhengyi began to focus on her study and taught herself with the two subjects.
At that time, people consider the eclipse of the moon as a sign of angry gods. However, Zhengyi didn’t agree with that. She decided to study even harder. On one hand, Zhengyi began to read more books of earlier scientists. Most of these books were written in a way that was difficult to understand. So it took her a lot of time and effort to study those books. On the other hand. Zhengyi watched the movement of stars every night and kept detailed record. Sometimes she even forgot about time and spent all night watching the stars.
According to her own life, she realized the importance for scientific books to be simple and clear for everyone. So she rewrote many books of earlier scientists on astronomy and math so that the public could get education more easily. Some villagers around laughed at her and said, “Zhengyi, now you are not even like a lady anymore.” Zhengyi answered, “I always believe women are the same as men. Who can say women can’t be heroes ”
Although Zhengyi lived in ancient times, she believed in the power of knowledge. And that a woman can make her dream come true through hard work. Her stories have encouraged millions of people, and her achievements have contributed to the scientific progress of the world.

You have tried too hard but you don’t succeed; you’ve made all your efforts but you don’t get the results you want. What should you do Give up and turn over a new page. Drop it like it’s hot, and run in the opposite direction as fast as you can.
Do you feel surprised What is wrong with giving up Oh yes, we all have been trained and asked to work hard to achieve our dreams, and that is a good thing. The problem comes out when all these inspirational quotes(励志名言)start confusing us.
These messages tell people not to give up, but they don’t tell you that it should only apply to(适用于)your true dreams. They tell people to “try and try again” until they succeed, but that amount of effort should only be put toward what people really want in life and they should never give up no matter what life goals they have. The rest is all just there to confuse you, distract(使分心)you, give you a headache and sadness, so don’t let it happen.
If you are really not good at something, give it up and try to do something you like. Once you do something you like, you won’t feel bored and also won’t give it up. You know clearly what you want even the road to success is hard. So you need to know what you’re good at. To find your talent, you need to observe(观察) the things around you and write down the things you’re interested in on your notebook. Then you can search them on the Internet and know more about them. Asking your parents or friends for help is also a good idea because they can see something you can’t. They can help you know yourself clearly.
Try to discover your talent, your ability and your skills. Find out what you are good at, what makes you happy and then work on it. If you do, no one would have to tell you or inspire you not to give up because when you love something, you keep trying until you get it right and the enthusiasm flows from within. Don’t worry about what people will say or think. It’s your life, so you have to love it and be your own boss.
22．Inspirational quotes are suitable for those who ________.
A．are successful B．have no life goals C．have true dreams D．never give up
23．Once you find something you like, you won’t ________.
A．achieve your dreams B．feel bored or give up C．know yourself clearly D．continue it
24．Why can you ask your parents for help to find your talent
A．They can see something you can’t. B．They are good at everything.
C．They are older than you. D．They know how to help you.
25．The underlined word “enthusiasm” in the passage means ________.
A．happiness B．curiosity C．ability D．warmth

Paying for bus rides with plastic usually makes people think of plastic bus cards. But one Indonesian city has decided to accept plastic recyclable waste in place of money for city buses.
Surabaya, Indonesia’s second largest city, located on the eastern end of the country’s main island Java, made this decision in April, 2018. Now, locals can pay for their bus rides by putting plastic cups or bottles directly on the bus. A two-hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles.
Indonesia is the second largest ocean plastic polluter, producing up to 2.4 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans every year according to a report. Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day. The head of Surabaya’s transportation department said, “With this decision, we hope to raise public awareness about environment, especially people’s awareness about plastic waste.”
Each city bus can collect up to 550 pounds of plastic bottles and cups every day. The collected bottles are sold to recycling companies and the money earned from it goes toward running the bus companies and providing money for green spaces in the city. This is certainly turning rubbish into a national treasure.
The decision is part of the city’s purpose to become plastic waste-free by 2020. In order to encourage local people to take buses, the city also added the new Suroboyo buses. The new buses are air-conditioned, comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off.
The programme is well received. People in Surabaya said, “We can reduce waste so it doesn’t pile up at home because we can make good use of it. It is a win-win situation.”
This type of programme can be a model for other cities worldwide and encourage citizens to recycle their plastic waste.
54．How much plastic waste does a two-hour bus ride cost

55．What are the new Suroboyo buses like

A Promise
Promise has brought trust and progress to my study and daily life.
My friend Margaret and I always wanted to study in the same school. Therefore, we made a promise to enter the middle school together. But I failed to meet the target score, and we didn’t succeed in getting into the same school. In these three years of my junior school, I keep working hard and always remind myself of the promise we made. I hope I can spend my high school time with Margaret after my hard work.
For me, friendship is not only a warm relationship, but also a positive guide. I wish we would meet in the high school this September.
