among private companies and billionaire entrepreneurs to carry paying passengers into space and tokick-start a new industry, astro tourism.to astronauts, pilots, and aeronautical engineers –basically to anyone who knows anything about aircraft design –burt rutan is a legend, an aeronautical engineer whose latest aircraft is the worlds first private spaceship. as he told when he first met him a little over a year ago, if his idea flies, someday space travel may be cheap enough and safe enough for ordinarypeople to go where only astronauts have gone before. the white knight is a rather unusual looking aircraft, built just forthe purpose of carrying a rocket plane called spaceshipone,the first spacecraft built by private enterprise.white knight andspaceshipone are the latest creations of burt rutan.theyre part of his dream to develop a commercial travel business in space. there will be a new industry. and we are just now in a beginning. i will predict that in 12 or 15 years,there will be tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds ofthousands of people that fly, and see that black sky, says rutan.on june 21, 2004, white knight took off from an airstrip inmojave, calif., carrying rutans spaceship. it took 63 minutes to reach the launch altitude of 47,000 feet. once there, the white knight crew prepared to release the spaceship one. the fierce acceleration slammed mike melvill, the pilot, back in his seat.he put spaceshipone into a near vertical trajectory, until, as planned, the fuel ran out.still climbing like a spent bullet, melvillhoped to gain as much altitude as possible to reach spacebefore the ship began falling back to earth. by the time the spaceship one reached the end of its climb, it was 22 miles off course. but it had, just barely, reached an altitude of just over 62 miles --the internationally recognized boundary of space.it was the news rutan had been waiting for. falling back to earth from an altitude of 62 miles, spaceshipones tilting wing,a revolutionary innovation called the feather, caused the rocket plane to position itself for a relatively benign re-entry and turned the spaceship into a glider.spaceshipone glided to a flawless landing before a crowd of thousands.after that june flight, i felt like i was floating around and just once in a while touching the ground, remembers rutan. we had an operable space plane.rutans operable space plane was built by acompany with only 130 employees at a cost of just $25 million. he believes his success has ended the governments monopoly on space travel, and opened it up to the ordinary citizen.i concluded that for affordable travel to happen, the little guyhad to do it because he had the incentive for a business, says rutan. does rutan view this as a business venture or a technological challenge?its a technological challenge first. and its a dream i had when i was 12, he says. rutan started building model airplanes when he was seven years old, in dyenuba, calif., where he grew up.i was fascinated by putting balsa wood together and see how it would fly, he remembers. and when i started having the capability to do contests and actually win a trophy by making a better model, then i was hooked.hes been hooked ever since. he designed his first airplane in 1968 and flew it four years later.since then his airplanes have become known for their stunning looks, innovative design and technological sophistication.rutan began designing a spaceship nearly a decade ago, after setting up set up his own aeronautical research and design firm. by the year 2000, he had turned his designs into models and was testing them outside his office.when i got to the point that i knew that i could make a safe spaceship that would fly amanned space mission -- when i say, i, not the government,our little team -- i told paul allen, i think we can do this.and he immediately said, go with it. paul allen co-founded microsoft and is one of the richest men in the world. his decision to pump $25 million into rutans company, scaled composites, was the vote of confidence that his engineers needed to proceed. that was a heck of a challenge to put in front of some people like us, where were told, well,【篇三：英语高级视听说 下册 unit15】【篇三：英语高级视听说n new york on tuesday, nov. 1, to begin an eight-day visit, it will be his first official american tour in more than a decade. everyone knows what has happened in the interim. his troubled marriage to the late princess diana, his remarriage to camilla parker bowles, and the youthfulindiscretions of his two sons have been turned to a reality-based soap opera by the tabloid media. but most americans know very little about who the prince of wales is and what he does as heir to the british throne.members of the royal family hardly ever grant interviews, the queen has never given one, and you rarely see them talk. but last month, as his trip to the united states was being planned, prince charles granted 60 minutes correspondent steve kroftan audience, allowing us to follow him around and chat, not about his family, but about being prince of wales, a job and a life like no other.most of us in our lives have to fill out applications listing our profession and occupation. you dont have to do that, kroft said. no. not always, but sometimes, prince charles replied.if you did, what would you put down? kroft asked.i would list it as worrying about this country and its inhabitants. thats my particular duty. and i find myself borninto this particular position. im determined to make the most of it. and to do whatever i can to help. and i hope i leave things behind a little bit better than i found them, the prince said. its hard to say, but i think it is a profession, actually; doing what im doing. because if you tried it for a bit, you might find out how difficult it is, he added, laughing.he is somewhere between a brand and a public institution, a future head of state in waiting —and waiting. he is a symbol of continuity with no real power but tremendous influence that is tied to his position and wealth.the money comes from a 14th century real estate empire called the duchy of cornwall, which was established to provide an income for the heir to the british throne.today it includes 135,000 acres of farmland, forests, waterfront property, london real estate, and even a cricket stadium. it produces $25 million a year in rents and other income that supports the prince, his wife and children and a staff of 130. there are perks such as travel on the royal train. and $7 million from the government to help with official expenses.on a recent trip to the yorkshire countryside to mark the 850th anniversary of the village of richmond, the whole town turned out to greet charles and camilla, his new wife, longtime friend and former mistress, now the duchess of cornwall. they were recently voted the most popular couple in britain, nosing out the queen and prince philip and they seemed comfortable with each other and the crowds.there was clearly a bond between you and the people there. explain that to me, asked kroft.no idea, the prince replied with laugh.you have no idea? kroft asked.no, but i always enjoyed seeing all sorts of people all around the country. i do this over and over again, have done for 30-something years, the prince said.he could pass the time playing polo or do nothing at all if he wanted, a path chosen by most of his predecessors, many of whom were lay-abouts and playboys. but charles chose to invent a job where none existed. he made 29 major speecheslast year, visited 14 countries, and runs the largest group of non-profit organizations in the country called princes charities. he raises more than $200 million a year for those 16organizations, 14 of which he founded.the largest charity is the princes trust which, over 29 years, has helped to provide job training for more than a half a million young people.do you think if you werent doing this stuff, that it would getdone? kroft asked.if i wasnt doing it? no, the prince replied.asked if he felt as if he was making a difference, princecharles said, i dont know. i try. i only hope that when im dead and gone, they might appreciate it a little bit more. do youknow what i mean? sometimes that happens.as he approaches his 57th birthday, he sometimes feels misunderstood and undervalued. he was educated at cambridge, can fly jet planes and helicopters, is extremely knowledgeable about the arts, and has tried to carve out for himself a number of different careers— environmentalist, urban planner, real estate developer, and social critic — deeply committed to a vision of what great britain was and should be. his vision is laid out in bricks and mortar in poundbury, avillage of 2,500 people, which he created on his land near dorchester in the south ofengland. all his ideas on architectural design, class structure, aesthetics and ecology are here. and what he sees as the future looks very much like the past: an 18th century villageadapted for the 21st. prince charles gave kroft a tour of the village. and thats aconvenience store, which im very proud of, which everybody said wouldnt work. thats the pub, which again nobody wanted to touch. but now of course, the values are going up, and upand up.kroft remarked that the buildings looked as if they were builtto last, lacking flimsy materials.well, thats what ive been trying to encourage people to think about. … to break the conventional mold in the way weve been building and designing for the last, well, during the lastcentury really, has all been part of a throw-away society, princecharles said.everything in the village is constructed of native or recycled materials, sustainable development, he calls it, that conservesthe earths resources.single-family homes are mixed with small apartments so there are people of all income levels here living side by side in a community with shops and light industry. the narrow twisty roads discourage automobile traffic, and cars are parked out ofsight in landscaped lots.the whole of the 20th century has always put the car at the center, the prince explained. so by putting the pedestrian first, you create these livable places, i think, with more attraction,and interest and character. livability.he believes that the modern world with its cars and computers is slowly eroding our humanity, that we are losingtouch with the world around us.the british tabloids have made an industry out of his travails and love to portray him as an out-of-touch eccentric trying to stop progress, an edwardian hippie with no real-life experience, whos never had to draw his own bath or take out the garbage. hes been constantly ridiculed for what have been called his undergraduate ramblings, including his innocent admissionthat he talks to his plants.are you familiar with any of the plants here? talking to any ofthem? kroft asked.yeah, i know some of them. no, no, no, the prince said, laughing. no, i do all the time. not here. youve gotten more mileage out of that, i think, than almostanything thats … kroftsaid.j ust just shows you cant make a joke. … without them taking it seriously. so, its the same old story, the prince replied. his image is carefully managed by a communications staff ofnine that also handles his umbrella. they made it clear the prince would not answer questions about his wives, past andpresent, his sons or the queen. he mistrusts the media for past abuses, and worries that no one takes him seriously.what is the most difficult part of your job? i mean except fortalking with people like me? kroft asked.yes, exactly, the prince said, laughing. oh, dear. i think, that the most important thing is to be relevant. i mean, it isnt easy,as you can imagine. because if you say anything, people willsay, its all right for you to say that. its very easy to just dismiss anything i say. i mean, its difficult. but what ive tried to do is toput my money where my mouth is as much as i can, byactually creating like here, models on the ground. i mean, if people dont like it, ill go away and do it.you are in many ways a public advocate for the traditional. what are the great parts of great britain that are worth preserving, besides the monarchy? kroft asked.well, theres an awful lot of things that are worth preserving,the prince said with a laugh. the trouble, i think, in todaysworld is we abandon so many things unnecessarily, so often in the name of efficiency. if you make everything over-efficient,you suck out, it seems to me, every last drop of what, up to now, has been known as culture. we are not the technology. it should be our —you know, our slave, the technology. but its rapidly becoming our master in many areas, i think.prince charles says he is not trying to stop progress. im just trying to say that we ought to redefine the way in which progress is seen. is it progress to rush headlong into upsetting the whole balance of nature, which is what, i think, were beginning to do?you know, if you look at the latest figures on climate change and global warming, theyre terrifying, terrifying.as a member of the royal family, he is expected to avoid politically contentious issues. yet he has openly opposed a number of government policies, including the development of genetically-modified crops. hes raised questions about stemcell research and is a strong advocate of alternative medicine.he has expressed those views in speeches, letters andmeetings with government officials, some of whom considerhim to be a royal nuisance.how do you deal with that? how do you walk that line? kroft asked.well, years of practice, perhaps, the prince said.does it get you in a spot of trouble from time to time fromcertain people? kroft asked.oh, inevitably. but it seems to be part and parcel of the thing. imean, if i wasnt, i think, doing these things, id be accused bypeople like you, doing nothing with my life, the prince replied, laughing.asked if anybody ever asks him to tone it down a bit, the prince said, oh yes, of course. but i think the proof is in the pudding. and i think, you know, all the things they try to tell me to tone down over the years, if you look now, though, youll find theyre fairly mainstream.twenty years ago when he announced that he was going to begin farming organically on his estate at highgrove, no one knew what he was talking about and assumed it was another crackpot idea.today its big business in great britain, and prince charles has a line of high-end organic products produced on his estate called duchy originals that includes everything from biscuitsand jams to mineral water, sausage and turkeys.prince charles says the business has been quite successful. and that has grown and now turns over ?40 million ($71 million) a year. and im able to give away over a million pounds each year to my charitable ventures.when he arrives in new york on nov. 1 as great britains most popular ambassador, he will be selling a political, commercial and diplomatic agenda prepared by the foreign office.he will also be introducing the american public to his new wife, who will be making her first official overseas trip and donned a diamond tiara for the first time last week. she is not giving interviews right now, and may never.she is said to be interested in supporting, not overshadowing, her husband, and has no interest in establishing her ownpublic identity.why has it been 20 years since his last official visit to the united states?you dont want to see me all the time. you get bored, the prince said, laughing.is there anything youre looking forward to doing there, anything youre looking。

Volume Two For Term IIUnit One Scott Kruger: Binge DrinkingComprehension QuestionsExercise 1. Questions (with answers for reference)1. Who is Scott Kruger? What kind of person is he? What kind of family did he come from? What had happened to him shortly after he entered MIT?Scott Kruger was a brilliant young college student who is from a loving supportive family. He was smart and particularly gifted in math and science. He was also an athlete and a student leader. By all accounts he was a well disciplined and remarkable young man. His family is a close and private one and there are 4 children in the family with Scott and his twin sister in the middle. He died shortly after he entered MIT, the leading Engineering Institute in the country.2. Say something about the fraternity house that Scott chose to live.The fraternity house Scott chose to live is called Fiji house. It has a notorious track record of binging which Scott had no knowledge of before his selection. There is one tradition of the Fiji house called “animal house night”, in which new members of the house are paired off with the senior members and have to collectively finish the amount of alcohol decided by the seniors.3. Can you describe what happened that night that caused Scot t‟s death? Why did his story touch the people nation wide?Scott had been drinking with the rest of the members that night. When he was passed out he was removed to the basement and put onto the couch where he threw up and inhaled his own vomit. When the other members came down to the basement to check on him, he was purple and unconscious. When he was finally rushed to the hospital, he was in cardiac rest. Despite the effort by the medics and doctors to save him, Scott still died from alcohol poisoning. The case of Scott touched the people nation wide because it set people thinking why such a brilliant kid with such promise ended up in such a tragedy shortly after he entered the nation‟s No. 1 leading university. The death of Scott tells a lot about university fraternity management and university‟s inadequate disciplinary actions.Unit Two SportsmanshipComprehension exercises.Exercise 1. Questions (with answers for reference)1. What‟s the recent malicious wave against referees, even the very young ones?There is a malicious wave of violence against sports officials. The term “kill the umpire” is no longer a joke. There were cases of referees and umpires abused, beaten up by contestants or their coaches. This wave of violence even targeted kids.2. Who are Bob West and Codie? What happened to them respectively?Bob West is an umpire. In January 1996, he was appreciating a high school wrestling match. He was knocked out unconscious completely. He suffered a concussion and said he now lived with chronic back pain.Codie is a young referee working at the baseball diamond in Loveland, Colorado. In July, 1996, he was head umpire at a playoff game between rival teams of 15 to 18 years olds.The coach of one team, Seward, disagreed with Codie and he contested a call at the third base. One member of his team, Joyard Bara, was so anxious to win that when Codie declared his team the loser, he got so mad that he hit Codie right across the face. Codie was knocked out unconscious. He later received stitches in his mouth and treatment for bruise and chest pain.3. According to a professor who writes books on the psychology of kids and sports and some experts, what happened to sportsmanship?He believed that sportsmanship has become much more as an extinct concept in the society nowadays. According to some experts, the sports field is an extension of society. Society has become much more lax about miscreants and criminals and things people get away with. Things that people get away in real life get away in sports as well.Unit Four Danger at HomeComprehension exercises.Exercise 1. Questions (with answers for reference)1. What is the tragedy of Janet Edward? What happened to her two children in the family furniture fire? What did she do to save them? Was she successful?She lost her two children in a furniture fire started at her house. It was clear that her five-year-old son, Tyler had been playing with matches or a lighter and started a small fire on the downstairs‟ couch. He and his 2-year-old sister Tara were asked by their mother to wait upstairs and when Janet returned she found the room had already been engulfed by an inferno. When the fire first broke out, she was in a belief that she could somehow put it out. Therefore, she ran downstairs to get the fire extinguisher. A couple of minutes later, the fire quickly spread and there were so much smoke and fire that she could not get to her children upstairs though she tried and was badly burned doing so.2. What serious problems will the furniture fires cause? What has the furniture industry done? Is it good enough according to the Fire Marshals Association? Why or why not?Furniture fires in residences kill two people every day in the United States. It is the one product in homes that will spread a fire more rapidly than anything else. It produces tremendous amounts of black, thick, toxic smoke. According to the fire Marshals Association, it poses a real threat to human lives.The majority of the 700 deaths per year are the result of furniture fires started by smoldering cigarettes and the industry now has a voluntary standard making upholstered furniture resistant to cigarette heat but the Fire Marshals Associatio n said that‟s not good enough. According to them, smoldering cigarettes are not the only reason that fires occur in our home. It doesn‟t address electrical ignitions. It does not address small open flame ignitions. And certainly it doesn‟t cover the problems with children playing with matches and lighters.3. How is the burn test of the chairs conducted? What does the burn test prove?The fire test was conducted by Gordon Demont, a leading fire safety consultant and former director of Califonia‟s Bureau of Home Furnishings. He used two chairs, the first one of which was stuffed with highly flammable while the other was flame retardant. In the burn test, they found that only one minute into the test the fire had burned through the fabric and into the foam. At a minute and a half the threat of toxic smoke was real.The researcher found that once the fire reached the polyurethane foam, the flame quickly spread. And after just three minutes, the chair was fully engulfed. Intense heat and the foam‟s flammability made it difficult for the firemen to extinguish the flames, despite the repeated dousing from the hoses. The test proved how dangerous an upholstered furniture fire can be.4. What is the difference of the second burn test from the first one? What does this second test prove?There was a dramatic difference when they tried to burn the second chair. It took six tries before the chair would even ignite. And after three minutes, it was still a very small fire. It provided a remarkable contrast with the first chair with standard form, which after three minutes was a firery inferno.The reporter and the researcher stayed in that room close to 10 minutes, and the fire never burned deeply into the flame-retardant foam. And there was no problem extinguishing these flames. Such a huge difference between the two chairs proved that the flame-retardant foam really works.Unit Five No Dad at HomeComprehension exercises.Exercise 1. Questions (with answers for reference)1. Who is Sharon Anty? What kind of life does she lead with her son?Sharon Anty is a single mother living with her 11 year-old son Gillon on the North shore of Massachusetts. She has great trouble handling her son. She says Sunday services are among the few times she is at peace with her son. When they get home, there is very little of it. The boy frequently refuses to respond directly to her requirements and she is depressed by the condition. 2. No dad at home, how does it affect the kids psychologically?Most of the boys felt sad and depressed and lonely. They felt that they didn‟t have a role model to follow. The following are some of the remarks:“Without a father, you can not have father to father talks and sometimes I am sad at night. I think h ow come I don‟t have a father. I wish I had one.”“I have never gotten mad, but I have gotten pretty sad, that‟s why I crie d a lot. ”“Every time I think about him, I feel pain and sadness. ”The ache in the heart for an absent father makes many boys sad and angry.3. According to some psychologists, what can single mothers do to handle their children‟s psychological troubles?Dr. William Pollack, a child psychologist says mums can provide much what a boy needs from his father. In his book “Real Boys”, he says mums can find out what is really troubling their boys and learn to handle them the way many fathers do instinctively. He says one key is to understand that the boys communicate very differently from girls. They have to learn to decipher the code, trying to listen to and talk with their sons.Unit Six AutopsyComprehension exercises.Exercise 1. Questions (with answers for reference)1. What can an autopsy tell people? Why did doctors use autopsies?It can tell people why someone died. It can help people to find out the causes of the death. Doctors used autopsies to confirm their diagnosis or to learn from their mistakes.2. Why are hospitals reluctant to do autopsy?Doctors or hospitals sometimes make mistakes which caused the death of their patients. Therefore, they are afraid that the patient‟s family will charge them with malpractice or negligence of duty which will cost them a lot of money.3. How did some doctors account for the low hospital autopsy rate in U.S. now?1) Some doctors regard autopsy as largely unnecessary, because they believe they have fancy lab tests, imaging devices and all sorts of new technology that would answer all the questions.2) It is not a popular thing to do as doctors are unwilling to go to the family who have just losttheir loved ones to ask for an autopsy.Unit Seven An Agonizing ChoiceComprehension exercise.Exercise 1. Questions (with answers for reference)1. Who is John Cook? What agonizing choice had he to face? Why?John cook is an ex-FBI agent and a cop. He had an agonizing choice to make as he had to report his son, Andy, to the police because Andy turned out to be the murderer of the Lake Juliet homicides on January 3rd, 1995. Few parents will ever face such an agonizing choice. It was truly a difficult choice as Andy would have to spend the rest of his life behind bars or it might mark the end of Andy‟s l ife. Yet, as a cop, Cook‟s duty was to get justice done. Therefore, he was really facing an agonizing choice.2. How did the father think about his son and his crime?He had been a good boy in the father‟s eyes. He was respectful and polite. He was a loner, but he had never been in trouble before. The father couldn‟t understand why his son could go so wrong. It was completely out of his expectation that his son would commit such a cruel crime. 3. What did the father have to sacrifice for his son‟s wrongd oing?John Cook was humiliated. He had to bear all the shame, the pain, the hurt and the disgrace. It was as if he had to bear his soul before the public. It was demeaning and extremely hurtful for having a son like that as he himself was in the law enforcement. Besides, he had to leave the FBI.Unit Eight A Dangerous EncounterComprehension exercises.Exercise 1. Questions (with answers for reference)1. Who is Antonio Ferliciano? What happened to him when he was on a graveyard shift in a7-Eleven chain store? How did he feel when he heard the robber cocked the hammer on the rifle? How did he fight with the robber afterwards?Antonio Ferliciano, 27 years old, married, and the father of two young children, was a former employee with 7-Eleven. One day, early in the morning, when Antonio was on a graveyard shift with another clerk, a woman armed with a sawed-off rifle rushed in and asked them to get behind the counter, and give her the money. She threatened to blow their heads off. Antonio felt that his fear tripled as soon as he heard that click of the gun. He felt as if he was not going home and not seeing his children ever again. In order to protect himself, he grabbed the gun, pulled it over around the robber‟s shoulder and jerk ed it down out of her hand, then found himself in aknock-down-and-drag-out fight. Hull, the robber, fought hard, and even bit him.2. What‟s the response of his boss to the case? According to 7-Eleven, under what condition can a clerk resist? What happened to Antonio‟s family and how do people look upon him?The boss was upset and felt Antonio had clearly violated the policy of the company which was not to resist an armed robber. Antonio was supposed to just do as the robber said, just step backfrom the register and just give anything they asked for. According to the policy, it‟s all right for a clerk to resist only if they were attacked. Antonio‟s heroic deed was regarded as “just acted carelessly” by his boss.Antonio‟s family were in a plight. Financially they were struggling as Antonio was fired. Some people sent him mails to encourage him and addressed him as the …the 7-Eleven robbery attempt hero‟.3. Will the 7-Eleven store consider giving back his job? How did the company base its policy on?No, 7-Eleven had remained firm in its position. According to the administrative of the company “No ass et in 7-Eleven stores is worth defending with the employee‟s life.” They cited a study that found victims who resisted the robbery were far more likely to be killed than those who cooperated. They regarded Antonio‟s behavior as not sensible and recommendable.。

1’ Describe the university system in our country based on the following topics:A. Types of university coursesB. Who teaches university coursesC. Class sizesD. Course requirements for different majorsE. Types of examsF. Punishment for plagiarismChina has set up a degree system, including Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral degrees. For the undergraduates, there are three types of university courses. The most common type of undergraduate course is called a compulsory course. In a compulsory course, the professor or lecturer talks and the students sit and take notes. The majority of compulsory courses can have 40 to 50 students in them. Some compulsory courses are often held in very large rooms because undergraduate courses like An Introduction to Mao Ze-dong Thought can have more than one hundred students in them, especially in large universities. A language course may have a small number of students. Another type of undergraduate course is called an optional course. Students select courses they are interested in. Such optional courses are taught by professors or lecturers. The third kind of class is especially important for science majors, and that’s the lab class. Chemical and physical majors have to spend several hours a week in the lab, doing their experiments. Nearly every class students take will have one or more tests or exams. Most university courses have at least two big exams: the midterm and the final exam. Students may also have smaller tests, called a quiz. In order to graduate students are required to write a paper or thesis in the last year at university. If they plagiarize and get caught, the punishment can be very serious. They cannot get their diploma’s degree.3’ What is an entrepreneur? What qualities do all entrepr eneurs have in common? Do you have these qualities? Would you like to be an entrepreneur? Why or why not?Entrepreneur means a person who starts a completely new business or industry, someone who does something no one else had done before, or who does it in a completely new way. There are two qualities that I think all entrepreneurs have in common. First, entrepreneurs have vision. They have the ability to see opportunities that other people simply do not see. The other quality that I think all entrepreneurs have is that they are not afraid to take risks. ...7’ What difference have you noticed between British English and American English? e.g. vocabulary difference, grammar difference, spelling difference and the difference in the use of the verbs, prepositions, etc.Americans say “truck”, but the Brits say “lorry”. “Elevator” is used in American English, and “lift” is a British term. “Color” is an American spelling in which the letter “u” is dropped, but “colour” is the British spelling.In the area of grammar, standard American and British English are nearly identical. Americans may ask “Have you gotten your grade yet?” whereas a Brit would ask “Have you got your grade yet?” Another difference is in the use of the verb have, especially in questions. Americans say “ Do you have any ideas?” but the British say “ Have you any ideas?” or “Have you got any ideas?” There are also differences in prepositions. Americans say John is different from Mary, but the British say John is different than Mary.8’’Wh at do you know about Generation Y? Are you a Generation Y-er? What do you think are the most important characteristics of this generation?Generation Y refers to young Americans who were born between the late 1970s and the early 1990s. I am a Generation Y-er. / I am not a Generation Y-er.This generation is diverse. They are tolerant, optimistic, confident, independent and rich. This is the Internet generation, generation of instant messaging. In China, this is the first generation to grow up with a high of living . These young people want to be modern. They are not interested in traditional way of life. They identify more closely with the West, and that can cause conflict between them and the generations that came before them.9’ Do you think it’s impor tant to explore Mars? Why or why not?Yes. First, by exploring Mars, we might be able to find out things about the Earth such as why and how life formed here. Second, we might also find that Mars could be a place for people to live in the future. And finally, we might need someplace else to live in case of a global disaster, a natural disaster or a nuclear war. It makes a lot of sense to continue to explore Mars. Mars is our neighbor, and it is time we go over and say hello.。
