Now Cassinis mission (使命) has come to an end. Scientists made it fall and bum up in 2017. But before that happened, the spaceship had made many trips between Saturn and its rings, sending photos and other information back to the Earth.Cassini was a project carried out by NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. It took Cassini about seven years to reach Saturn.Scientists have learned many exciting things from Cassini. In 2005, Cassini sent a space probe (探测器) to Saturns largest moon, Titan, so scientists could get a closer look at the moons surface. One of the most important discoveries Cassini made was that there is warm liquid water (液态水) under the ice that covers one of Saturns smaller moons, Enceladus. Scientists believe conditions on Enceladus could be similar to the conditions that led to the development of life on Earth.Cassinis mission was supposed to be ended in 2008, but because it was still in good shape, scientists increased its life to 2017. Cassini performed the last task of its mission on September 15, 2017.When Cassini ran out of its fuel (燃料) and entered Saturns atmosphere (大气层), it burned up. Scientists said it was necessary for Cassini to be totally destroyed (毁坏) so there was no chance that microbes (微生物) from the Earth could be harmful to any possible life on Saturn.22 . What made scientists think that there might be life on Enceladus?AAnimals waste was found.BThey heard strange sounds.CSome ice was seen to cover it.DThere is warm liquid water on it.23 . What might happen if Cassini wasnt totally destroyed?AIt might destroy Saturns surface.BIt will fall onto the Earth.CThe microbes from the Earth might be bad for Saturns possible life.DIt will continue to send back information.24 . Which of the following things about Cassini is NOT mentioned?AIts findings.BIts lasting time.CIts burning.DIts later use.25 . What can be inferred from the passage?ACassini was a very successful and useful spaceship.BCassini has stayed in Saturn for ten years.CThe project of exploring Saturn was carried out by America alone.DEnceladus is the biggest moon of Saturn.26 . What is the passage mainly about?AThe process (过程) of sending Cassini to Saturn.BThe moons and rings of Saturn.CThe end of Cassinis mission.DThe life on Saturn.Henry is in Thailand.It is a beautiful country.Many people are on vacation there.Henry writes his blog(博客) every day.Lets have a look.Everyone has great fun playing in the water on hot days.My mother and father are swimming.I am taking some photos of this funny boat.It looks like a banana.July 23rdThis is the White Temple(寺庙)It is so big and all white.It is really beautiful and it is very different from ours.July 24thIt is raining all day.I am enjoying the “Tom Yum Kung” soup in a restaurant.There are chilies(辣椒) and shrimps(虾) in the soup.There are many kinds of fruits in Thailand.You can find durians(榴莲)，oranges，strawberries and so on.People there also like to eat banana flower salad.July 25thIt is warm and I am shopping at a market.There are many markets on the river and everyone sells their things on their boats.It is interesting.I am enjoying it.July 26th27 .

Because you dont come from the same country as your hosts, you probably have a different culture, and the hosts will surely know this. And they will forgive you, if you really dont mean to do or say something which would make them feel uncomfortable. So just take it easy.Before arriving at your hosts home, you should make sure of three things. First, be about five to ten minutes late if possible. Never be early, as the host may not have everything prepared yet. Nor should you be more than 20 minutes late. Your host may begin to worry about whether you are able to come for the dinner or not. Next, it is not necessary to bring a gift. If you like, you can bring some fruit, sweets or flowers, but do not spend too much money. And never give money. Finally, wear comfortable clothes. For a special occasion (场合) or holiday, a tie (领带)and jacket would be nice for men and a dress or sweater and skirt for the ladies.At table, if you dont know how to use the knife and fork, you can see how your neighbor is using it or ask others for advice.

They were both in Beijing, and both attracted people in their 20s and 30s. So why were they so different? Because one store was for Chinese people, and one was for Westerners. At the Western bookstore, in Sanlitun, the books put on display in frontthe ones expected to be the most popularwere biographies (传记), books about history, and books about politics and current (现在的) events. Farther back, there was a big shelf full of novels. At the Chinese store, at the Beijing airport, there were very few books on history, and books on politics and current events were even harder to find. There were a few biographies, but they seemed to be of an instructive (教育性的) nature; almost all of them were about rich people, and how they got rich. What the store did have was lots and lots of books on how to learn English. As a Westerner, I found this surprising. The kinds of books Im used to seeing people readthe kinds that were at the first storeare the kinds people read to escape (逃脱) their daily lives. But here most of the books were on how to get rich and how to study Englishhow to work better and how to study better. These Chinese books offered no escape from daily lifeonly ways to improve it. Perhaps this is another area where Westerners and Chinese people can learn from each other. We Westerners could certainly read a bit more for practical purposes (目的). But I also think Chinese people might benefit (受益) from more of something my teachers always encouraged: Reading for fun. Two different bookstoresLocationSanlitunBeijing 61 . Customers62 .
