response would be that space exploration is a waste of money. an average american, uneducated on the subject, might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no value. someone strange to the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens. research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched. this also costs the government money. does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense?one argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on earth. actually, the money goes to workers and scientists that support national aeronautics and space administration (nasa) missions, and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the us economy. boeing is a partner of nasa for aircraft, the same company that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry.another benefit to continuing space exploration is the many technologies it provides. the artificial (人造的) heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle. the handheld jaws of life used to save victims from car accidents resulted from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. insulation (隔熱板) in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle.there are direct benefits to the economy provided by nasa missions as well as those technologies. these advances are found in food, building materials, medical procedures and the vehicles we drive. while it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration, the benefits it provides outweigh the terrible aspects. as a matter of fact, the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives.1how is paragraph 2 mainly developed?aby offering analyses.bby making comparisons.cby giving some examples.dby presenting research findings.2the function of jaws of

writing!letters live, which started in december 2013, was held at the freemasons hall in london from march 10 to 15. the show invited various great performers who read remarkable letters that had been written around the world over the centuries.“bringing letters alive through outstanding performances is one of the most powerful ways in which the joy and pain and humor and tragedy of being human can be shared，” jamie byng, managing director of canongate books publishing firm, told the nowness video channel.british actor benedict cumberbatch agreed. “l(fā)etters are windows into the love, beauty, pain and humor of their creators and receivers，” he told the guardian. “l(fā)etters live makes us stop and imagine the lives behind the letters read and where they came from. its a privilege to read this most ancient of communications live to an audience.” this year, the movie sherlock star treated the audience by playing the part of a 17year tom hanks. he put on the young actors voice when he read his letter to the hollywood director george roy hill, a letter that urged hill to “discover” him. the letter revealed that twotime oscar winner hanks teenage dream was not to “be a bigtime hollywood superstar” but to one day own a porsche car and call his favorite us actor robert redford his nickname “bob”other famous faces at the event included carey mulligan, who played a fictional laundry worker, a female activist fighting for womens rights in the 2015 movie suffragette. the british actress once again played the role of a suffragette, when she read a very enthusiastic letter demanding the vote for women. the suffragette sent a precious 1913 note to the daily telegraph newspaper.“everyone seems to agree upon the necessity of putting a stop to suffragist anger, but no one seems certain how to do so，” mulligan read out. “there are two, and only two, ways in which this can be done. both will be effectual. one, kill every woman in the uk. two, give women the vote.”5what was cumberbatchs attitude towards jamie byngs opinion?adoubtful.bpositive.coptimistic. dcautious.6which of the following was a dream of tom hanks as a child?ato become an actor.bto call himself

picu (兒童重癥監(jiān)護(hù)病房) who wants to talk about a kit she received，” the nurse told me. “something about it made her cry.”ive been a childlife specialist at the cleveland clinic childrens hospital since 2000. i help families understand diagnoses and treatment plans and manage the ups and downs that come with caring for a sick child. tough talks with parents are part of the job, which still makes me feel nervous.the kits the nurse was talking about were something i had recently introduced to the hospital: comfort kits from guideposts. they were supposed to make a childs experience here easier, not upsetting.when i came across the kits at a conference, i fell in love with them. a treasure box of items designed not only to entertain kids, but to comfort and inspire them. theres a coloring book, a stress ball, a cd of relaxing music, a hairy star named sparkle, a journal and much more. i really believed these kits would help kids. i wished i hadnt been mistaken.at the patients room in picu i saw a little girl, sleeping soundly surrounded by tubes and machines. my eyes met her mothers. the kit was open on her lap and tears were running down her cheeks.“im shannon. i manage the child life department，” i said. “im sorry if the kit upset you. its a new item .”the mother shook her head. “this has been one of the worst days of my life. i felt so scared and alone. then i was handed this box. i know its for my daughter, but its just the comfort i needed. i wanted to say thankyou.”with that i knew comfort kits belonged here. weve been using them for almost three years now. each child whos admitted to the hospital receives one. every day i see kids coloring, journaling, playing with sparkle.but as this mom showed me comfort kits arent just for kids. the hope they bring,

eat. often you eat not because you are hungry, but because you are affected by many other things. how much you eat is strongly affected by how much those around you eat. people eating alone eat least. people eating with one other person eat 35 percent more than they do at home. people dining in a party of four eat 75 percent more. eating with overweight friends? youll eat more. is your waitress overweight? youll eat more. a wide variety of food? youll eat more.plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes. if people ate it off a paper plate, theyd say, “this is good.” if they ate it off a fancy silver plate, they would say, “this is the greatest cake ive eaten in my entire life.” your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat. you tend to eat more when you think the food is good, and less when you think it is bad. so grandmas cookies always taste better than other cookies. “good food” even has a “health halo (光環(huán)) effect”. if were eating something healthy, we feel that everything in that meal is healthy. due to this, people often believe that a cheese cake with a salad has fewer calories (卡路里) than the cheese cake alone. thats perhaps also why eating organic (有機(jī)的) food might turn you into an annoying guy. your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behaviour.food and hunger affect your judgment too. hungry judges give more serious sentences. kids who dont eat breakfast behave worse than kids who eat their breakfast. people who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions.13what is mentioned as a cause of overeating?asuffering from great loneliness.bbeing served by a helpful waitress.cbeing treated to high quality food.deating with many friends.14according to the passage, an annoying person may be one who _.afinds any excuse for eating morebis crazy about the quality of

fooddwhere to find safe food.閱讀七選五(2016廣東省五校協(xié)作體高三第一次聯(lián)考)everybody in this world is different from one another. but do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?as we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. these are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. _16_financial experts say that everyone
