27、   Space is the final frontier (前沿). Sending rockets into space has become almost common. The demand for communications satellites and space-based image services is growing.

Today, space efforts cost about $200 billion a year. Joint efforts between governments and businesses are helping to lower costs and increase our understanding of the universe.

The business of space looks good for Orbital ATK, a company based in the United States. In January, the company launched its Antares rocket. The rocket was carrying the first of eight planned supply shipments to the International Space Station. Orbital ATK is one of the two American companies paid by NASA to transport supplies to the space station.

A company called Arianespace is a private European space business. Clayton Nowry heads the American division of the company. He says the increase in rocket launches is partly the result of increased demand for space-based technologies. These include high-definition (高清的) broadcasts and satellite broadband services.

While there is more demand for satellites, the end of NASA's Space Shuttle program in 2011 has hurt the space industry. Janice Starzyk works at International Launch Services. She works on education issues at the Washington Space Business Roundtable. She said, "It's a pity that the program's shutdown was a huge, huge set of lay-offs (下岗人员) in the industry."

But even as NASA reduces its spending, other countries have announced plans to explore space. In December 2013, China became just the third country to land an unmanned space vehicle on the moon. A month later, India sent its first communications satellite.

【1】What makes sending rockets into space become very usual?

A.More and more people wanting to explore space.

B.Space becoming human's final home and dream.

C.Companies making every effort to earn $ 200 billion a year.

D.Increasing need for communications satellites and space-based image services.

【2】Why are governments and businesses working together?

A.To earn more money from space projects.

B.To send more rockets into space and use them.

C.To produce more communications satellites for the public.

D.To keep costs down and help us learn more about the universe.

【3】What do we know about Orbital ATK?

A.It's a private European space business.

B.It sent its Antares rocket in January.

C.It's a company based in the United Kingdom.

D.It's the only American company paid by NASA.

【4】How may Janice Starzyk feel about the program's shutdown?

A.Hopeful. B.Content.

C.Regretful. D.Uninterested.

28、The most successful people all have certain habits in their daily routines. 【1】Forming a new good habit can be a struggle, but it is well worth the effort. Here are the four steps you can follow to form good habits.

Set your goal.

Before you can begin to work on your new habit, it is worthwhile to consider your goal.【2】Make sure that your goal is specific, measurable and realistic to increase your chances of success.

【3】

Having good habits that are in line with the goals can improve your chances of achieving your goals. After you have set your goal and worked out all of the specifics (细节) of achieving that goal, find a habit that is part of achieving that goal. Consider what good habit would help you achieve that goal.

Consider your motivation.

Once you have identified your goal and the new habit you need to achieve this goal, take some time to consider your motivation.【4】Good motivation can be the difference between success and failure in terms of forming a new habit. So take your time to consider your motivation.

Give yourself time.

Forming a new habit can take a long time. Some people can form a new habit in as little as a few weeks, while other people will take several months. As you work to form your new habit, just keep in mind that it may be a while before it comes true. 【5】

A．Identify ways to achieve goals.

B．Find the habit you want to form.

C．Good habits are sure to make you a success.

D．These habits help contribute to their success.

E．Figure out exactly what you hope to achieve.

F．Try to be patient with yourself as you form your new habit.

G．Your motivation is the reason you want to form this new habit.

29、   Don't be too concerned about money, because all it will do is distract you from achieving happiness. And the irony is that people think they will be happy when they have money. 【1】. If you are happy and you have money, you can use it for happiness. If you are unhappy and you have money, you will use that money for more unhappiness. Because money is simply a neutral force.

Don't misunderstand me: 【2】. I am not against anything. Money is a means. Your money will enhance your pattern, whatever it is good or bad.

【3】. They are ready, at any moment, to change their pattern, to change their ways, if more money is available somewhere else.

Once the money is there, then suddenly you are no longer yourself; you are ready to change.

This is the way of the worldly man. Remember, I don't call a person worldly because he or she has money. 【4】. This applies to people with no money as well-they may simply be poor. Just being poor does not equal to being spiritual; and just being rich does not equal to being a materialist. The materialistic pattern of life is one in which money predominates over everything.

The non-materialistic life is one in which money is just a means: happiness predominates, joy predominates, your own individuality predominates. 【5】, and you are not distracted.

Then suddenly you will see your life has a meaningful quality to it.

A.I am not against money.

B.However, money has nothing to do with happiness

C.So they attach great importance to money

D.You know who you are and where you are going

E.Money brings great joy to people who pursue it

F.I call them worldly if they change their motives for money

G.But people keep looking for money as if money is going to bring happiness
