The rockets take astronauts and man-made satellites into space. The satellites are used for communication, weather monitoring and research. But how do satellites stay up without falling down?

There are two opposite forces (力量) acting on the satellite. One of them is the force of gravitation (地心引力), which tries to pull the satellite towards the earth. The other force is created by the rotation (旋转) of the satellite around the earth. This force tries to take the satellite away from the earth. With these two forces, the satellite goes round and round. The gravitational pull of the earth (the force which pulls everything towards the ground) is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away.

Everything that goes up has to come down. It is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back to the earth. As time goes by, the satellite loses its speed, which makes the gravitational pull stronger than the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite crash (坠落) down to the earth.

1.Which of the following uses of satellites is NOT mentioned?

A.communication

B.monitoring the weather condition

C.doing some research

D.taking pictures

2.The force that pulls the satellite towards the earth is created by ________.

A.the earth

B.the satellite itself

C.the rotation of the satellite

D.the rope

3.Why can’t the satellites fly away?

A.Because of the force from the earth.

B.Because the satellite is too big.

C.Because of the force created by the rotation of the satellite around the earth.

D.Because people on earth have made ropes to tie the satellites tightly.

4.The satellite will finally crashes down to the earth ________.

A.when it flies faster

B.when its speed slows down

C.when people cut the rope

D.when there is no electricity in it

5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.There are four forces acting on the satellite.

B.The force of gravitation makes the satellite go round and round.

C.As time goes by, the satellite will finally fall down.

D.The satellite will stay in space forever.

Now satellites(卫星)are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(大气), because this is where the weather forms(形成). They send these pictures to the weather station. So meteorologists(气象专家)can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.

Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare(比较)them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours .This may mean the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.

So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for 3 or 5 days. Soon, perhaps , they may forecast the weather for a week or more ahead(提前)

1.Satellites travel__________.

2.Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because___________.

3.Meteorologists forecast the weather________.

4.Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather for _______.

Recently the Chinese Government said that it plans to relax its one-child policy（政策）. The news is welcomed by millions of Chinese who were punished　 in the past for having more than one child. The new policy will give a chance to couples where one of the parents is an only child, to have two children.

The one-child policy is depended on rewards（奖励）and punishments. Couples are fined（罚款）thousands of dollars if they have more children than allowed, and many lose their jobs and money.

It is said that there are 32 million more boys than girls under the age of 20 today!

Because of the drop in the number of children, there won’t be enough young people going into the factories. Today, for every person that stops working, there are six working adults. But by 2040 there will be only two working persons to support four old ones.

C. There won’t be enough working people.
