24、Most people have a place to call home on Earth. What about in outer space? The International Space Station(ISS) became our first home” in space in 2000. It welcomed its first crew that year, paving the way for 20 years of future research.

“You just have this impression that we’re all citizens of not a particular country, but of the planet,” former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly told National Geographic about working in ISS. “We’re all in this thing called humanity together.”

Over the past 20 years, the ISS has mainly been used as a science lab, hosting 241 people from 19 countries, according to NASA. They have gone on spacewalks, done research on how space affects the human body, and even grown plants in space.

The station’s development has also benefited people on Earth. For example, the station’s water purification(净化) technology has been used in poor areas to provide clean drinking water. The station also helps to warn us of natural disasters, such as             earthquakes.

However, after being our home in space for over 7000 days, the station is starting to get old. It has leaked(泄露) air a few times. Scientists think that the station can keep working until 2024. After that, scientists will bring it down to Earth.                    It is believed that Earth’s atmosphere will burn up most of the station. Other debris(残骸) will fall into the Pacific Ocean.

In the future, space will be home to more stations like the ISS. NASA is building a space station that is smaller than the ISS near the moon. Also, China will have its own space station up and running in 2022.

25、Do you know cows can climb onto the roof? Isn’t it fun? To eat grass, a Swiss farmer Dieter Mueller’s cow climbed up a roof to look for fresh grass.

Mueller said the cow was walking on a road behind the house. Then she thought the grass may be greener on the other side of it, but it didn’t walk around, it decided to climb over the house. In fact the grass was not greener on the other side.

Mueller said this is a cantankerous cow. She always does her way. And never follow his words. So it is quite difficult for her to get her down! Mueller tried to let her get down and even put a ladder up to the roof, but it doesn’t work. She stayed up there as long as she liked. She just had to do things in her own sweet time.

26、New Exercise Trend Also Helps Environment

For some people, walking or running outdoors is a great way to exercise. But we often see the rubbish all over the ground. It not only damages our environment but also affects our good mood. Then what should we do?

Some people are plogging to exercise and protect our environment. But what is it? “Plogging” began in Sweden. The name combines (结合) the Swedish word “plocka,” which means to pick up some rubbish, and the word “jogging,” which means to run slowly.

A Swedish man named Erik Ahlström, started the movement in 2016. On the World Environment Day website, Ahlström says that each day he rode his bike to work and one day he paid attention to the rubbish in the street. So, he began picking up the rubbish. And that is how plogging was born!

Today, plogging is an official activity, one that is becoming more and more popular.   “Plogging is equal parts exercise and community service, it can also build closer social connections in a community.” the expert Julie Lawson explains.

Plogging can be fun, too. When Dana Allen uses this way to exercise around D.C., she invites her friends. They feel very happy. Allen always does it more than three times a week. "I would just hope people would think twice before dropping the rubbish on the ground. It’s easy to put your rubbish in the trash cans.”

It’s important to do something before plogging. Ploggers need do some balancing exercises first. Then, they must put on protective gloves.

There are rules for plogging. Ploggers must pay attention to those around them. Stopping quickly in the street to pick up some rubbish might cause an accident.

Plogging is becoming more and more popular, it’s a good way to exercise and protect our environment, so let’s do it together now.

27、Some Fun and Interesting Facts

28、   It was August in Paris. Most people were out of the city, enjoying their summer holiday. The streets were e【1】 and restaurants were closed.

But on a Saturday morning at 9 a.m., I was standing in a queue. I was waiting to see Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, the world's most famous artwork. I bought the ticket in advance. However, by the time I arrived at the Louvre（卢浮宫）, there had been a very long l【2】.

It took me around 30 minutes to pass the security check. As I entered the museum, I found the second airport-style queue of the day. The queue moved forward s【3】 and silently. It's just like a trip to lKEA. You have to be patient because it takes much time to move forward. However, you have to walk, eyes-down, past lots of sofas and tables before you reach what you need.

The only sign the Mona Lisa was c【4】 was a forest of security officers. Only ten people were allowed to view the painting at a time. A poster outside the pen（围栏）warned. "The Mona Lisa has many admirers. Please keep you visit short and sweet to give e【5】 a chance to meet her."

"How short is short and sweet?" I wondered. Very short, it turned out.

My watch clocked only 22 seconds from entering the pen before two staff members told me it was time to g【6】. "One photo and leave," they said. I tried to take a selfie, but an arm quickly came to guide me onwards. Behind me, the queue moved forward, ten by ten, to take a photo and leave.

I was almost a【7】 as I admired the other artworks in the Louvre. I couldn't help wondering: Why are there so many people to see the Mona Lisa and so few to see the other artworks? Are we really going to appreciate the famous artworks or are we just "checking in" at the "popular" attractions?
