Some people wonder why countries spend millions of dollars on space projects. They want to know how space research helps people on Earth. Actually space technology helps people on Earth every
day. This is called “spin-off technology.” Spin-off technology is space technology that is now used on Earth.
In early space programs, such as the Apollo missions(任务) of the 1960s and 1970s, and in the Space Shuttle missions today, scientists developed objects for the astronauts to use on the moon and in space. We now use some of these objects every day. For example, we have Quartz crystal clocks and watches with accuracy of one minute a year. We purify the water we drink with a water filter(过滤器) designed for the astronauts' use in space. The cordless, hand-held tools we use in our homes, such as vacuum cleaners, flashlights, drills and saws came from the technology of these early space programs.
On cold winter days we can stay warm with battery-operated gloves and socks, and insulated(绝缘的) coats and jackets. All of these clothes are similar to the spacesuit designs that kept astronauts comfortable in the temperatures of the moon, and are spin-offs from space technology.
These products are only a few examples of the many ways space technology helps us in our everyday lives. No one knows how new spin-off technology from the International Space Station will help us in the future.
52．Which of the following is NOT a spinoff? A．Water filters. B．Quartz watches. C．Battery – operated socks. D．Spacesuits worn by astronauts. 53．The underlined part “purify the water” probably means “make the water ”. A．light B．clean C．bright D．warm 54．Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A．Future of Space Technology B．History of Spinoffs C．Spinoff Technology D．Space Projects 55．From the passage, we can infer (推断) that the writer . A．believes that space technology will be widely used on Earth B．doubts if spinoffs have any good effect on human beings C．agrees to do more research on spinoff technology D．suggests using more spinoffs in our daily life

Rio de Janeiro: Carnival capital of the world.
Every year, 40 days before Easter (复活节), Brazil stops. It?s a time for the carnival! For four days from Saturday to Tuesday, Brazilians sing and dance halls and clubs, on the streets and beaches, or anywhere else. The carnival takes place in towns and villages all over Brazil and other Catholic countries, but Rio de Janeiro is seen as the Carnival Capital of the world. Carnival is the last big event in the summer in Brazil.
It may begin 40 days before Easter, but the city begins getting ready for the carnival several weeks before that.
Edinburgh Festival: The heart of Scottish culture
The Edinburgh International Festival is a rich programme of classical music, theatre, opera and dance in theatres in Edinburgh, over a three –week period in August.
The festival began in 1947 to try to use the arts to encourage “the flowering of the human spirit”. From the start, ordinary people began to put on shows of their own that weren?t part of the official Festival, and soon this programme became the Edinburgh Festival ?Fringe?, which is a separate programme of small shows. Korean New Year: Solnal
Koreans celebrate the lunar (农历) New Year, with other East Asia countries. Solnal is a time for families, so Koreans try to return to their family homes. On New year?s Eve people put things on their walls and doors to protect their families from bad spirits arriving
with the New Year. Then on new Year?s Day, people put on traditional clothes and put food on a special table for the dead members of their
family.
Then the family sits down for a traditional breakfast of ?took – guk ? – a thick beef soup with rice cakes and green onions. Everyone must eat in order of ages, and everyone becomes one year older on New Year?s Day.
The rest of the day is for playing, especially for children. Families enjoy activities such as kite – fly – ing, see – saw (跷跷板) and dancing. The New Year is a time for Koreans to celebrate family and tradition.

One possible version:
Zhang Li, a friend of my sister?s, wants to be an English teacher when she grows up. Last year
she volunteered at a primary school. She taught the kids to sing English songs, read the English books and organized an English club (to hold all kinds of activities). To her joy, she found her spoken English greatly improved. What?s more, she used to be shy (and afraid of speaking English in public). But she is quite outgoing and good at making speeches these days.
In my opinion, she has found a great way of learning English, that is, by using it and helping others. As a volunteer, not only can we experience exciting things but also get a lot. Helping itself is learning.
