Because of its thick cloud， you cant see the surface(表面). In many ways Venus is like the Earth. It has active volcanoes(火山)， mountains and valleys， too. But Venus is too hot for life. It has the hottest temperature of the planets in our solar system， about 480.Besides， the Earth lets heat out through volcanoes， hot springs， but Venus lets heat out in a different way. Venus has no moons. Scientists call Venus the Earths sister planet because Venus and the Earth are almost the same size.

A study of 2,000 teenagers in the US showed that eating breakfast daily is helpful to young people.According to the study, teenagers who eat breakfast weigh around 5 pounds less than teenagers who do not. Although they take in more calories in the morning, they are more active during the day because they have more energy. This means they burn more calories than non-breakfast eaters.The breakfast does not even have to be very healthy, as eating anything is better than nothing.The study also showed that eating breakfast keeps teenagers feeling full for longer, so they will not eat too many snacks later in the day. This is good news as most popular snacks, like sweets and potato chips, are usually unhealthy and full of calories.Another big advantage of eating breakfast is that it helps teenagers do better at school. This is because it gives them more energy to keep their attention in class.Whats more, a study in the UK showed that adults who eat breakfast daily put on less weight and also perform better at work.Whatever your age is, take time to have breakfast every day.16 . Having breakfast daily makes the teenagers _.Aeat fewer snacksBput on more weightCrelax themselvesDburn less calories17 .

Taking a flight in China can be a boring experience. This is because Chinese airlines didnt allow smartphones to be powered on during flights. However, the launch of a new Chinese satellite Shijian 13 has changed the situation. Now, many Chinese airlines allow passengers to use their smartphones freely, that is, we can finally catch up on our favorite books and songs while at 30000 feet in the air.The communication satellite Shijian 13 can transmit (输送) 20 gigabytes (GB千兆) of data per second and cover most parts of Chinas land. This makes it the most powerful communication satellite China has ever developed. In fact, Shijian 13 has a higher message capacity (容量) than the total capacity of all Chinas communication satellites launched.The powerful satellite has greatly improved the Internet, including that on fast-moving transportation vehicles such as planes and high-speed trains.With shijian 13, people are able to get a download speed of up to 150 MBps on their smartphones. According to Zhou Zhicheng, head of the communications satellite department of the China Academy of Space Technology, the speed means it takes less than one minute to download a 1-GB movie. Watching online TV on planes and high-speed trains has come true.But the satellites benefits are far greater that that. China is trying to have 22 communication satellites in the sky by 2025. Shijian 13 will be able to cover wider areas, including mountains, oceans and deserts. When people have emergencies while hiking or sailing, the satellite can help them report and ask for help. It will also help people in natural disasters.19 . What does the first paragraph tell us?AShijian 13 has already enabled us to use smartphones while flying.BChina Airlines allow passengers aboard to use their smartphones.CShijian 13 is a kind of rocket which can carry us to a faraway place.DShijian 13 can make us catch up with latest books and pop songs.20 .
