Now you can take a space holidayfor a price. This is due to a recent decision by top space of
31、ficials of the United States, Russia, Canada, Japan and the European Space Agency.

32、rmit a civilian on the costly research vehicle.

39、to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover a few of the techniques which make language
40、learning easier for them. 【 B2】 _They do not depend on the book or the teacher: they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own c
41、onclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from mistakes. 【 B3】 _Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language: they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mi
42、stake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things: they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to
43、think in the language than to know the meaning of every world. 【 B4】 _They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it
44、 easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it. 【 B5】 _If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently , actively, and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might as wel
45、l try some of the techniques outlined above. Questions 6165 Complete the passage with the following sentences. There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use. A. First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. B. Finally, successful language learners are learners with
46、 a purpose. C. Successful language learning is active learning. D. Some people seem to have a knack for learning languages. E. Active language learners seize every opportunity to use the target language. F. What kind of language learner are you? G. Successful language learners derive conclusions fro

Scientists have discovered about 3 ,500 different species of cockroach. There is just one human species! Cockroaches can be anything in size f
48、rom about five mm to nine cm. Although five mm is very small, nine cm is as long as a large rat. It is very difficult to catch most cockroaches. They “see“ with the hairs on their bodies. These hairs can feel the smallest movement in the air, so the cockroaches know immediately something moves, and
49、run to safety. Of all the species of cockroach, fortunately only three live among humans and are a serious problem. They are the German, the Oriental, and the American. One egg case of the German cockroach can produce as many as seven million cockroaches in 12 months! Our main problem with cockroaches is that not only do they look u
