What will the future be like? It's possible that we may often fly up into space ! Of all the coolest inventions of the year,Time Chase Spaceship One is the best.

  Spaceship One is a 6-meter-long white spaceship. On June 21 , American pilot Mike Melvill flew it to space and back―about 100 kilometers up into the sky. (1) Some might say it's not a big deal. You know , people went to the moon years ago.

  Well, Spaceship One is special because (2)it is the first spaceship that wasn't made by the government. It was built and launched(發(fā)射)by a privateUScompany. Lots of people want to travel in space. But it's too expensive. American millionaire Dennis Tito paid almost $20 million to become the first space tourist to visit the International Space Station in 2001. So private companies began to think of making their own spaceship to take other tourists up into space.

(3)飛船一號的成功是一個(gè)好的開端。In the next 10 to 15 years,if you pay $20,000 to 100,000,you could fly high above the earth.

What about having your own spaceship in your garage and taking it to space at the weekend?

 Is there someone you hate? Well,maybe you don't really hate them,but you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don't let this anger go,it can turn into bitterness(痛苦).

  Bitterness appears when we can't forgive(原諒)someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. And instead of resolving(化解)the anger,we keep it deep inside. Before long,a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we're hurting that person by criticizing(指責(zé))him or her often,but we're really only hurting ourselves.

  Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease,but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys getting along with an angry person for long.

  If you see bitterness in your life , here are some ways to deal with it.   Accept It

  Instead of trying to deny your anger,make it clear to yourself and accept it. Face your anger and quickly deal with it. 

  Stop Making Excuses for It

  You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you're right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end,bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back,and the other person will go on with his or her life. 

  Forgive and Forget It

  You probably can't completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to try right now and forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You'll enjoy better health and peace of mind.

 Should calligraphy(書法)be taught at school?

  Although we are in an information age and most things can be found or done on computers , still we should go back to handwriting by using a brush and ink. Some people think students should study calligraphy at school. Calligraphy is part of our old culture. It dates back to early times. Traditional calligraphy is well worth learning. Chinese need to carry on with it. What's more,calligraphy is fine art,more than writing. Written Chinese is well known for its beauty. For example,every stroke(筆畫)of a character shows richness,feeling,energy and so on. Even foreigners enjoy looking at it for its beauty. If you are good at it,it is certainly a way of self-cultivation (陶冶自我).It often helps build up one's personality. Are you going to learn it soon? 

(   ) 1. Our time is called an information age. 

(   ) 2. Calligraphy is part of Chinese culture. 

(   ) 3. There is nothing in Chinese writing. 

(   ) 4. Only foreigners enjoy the beauty of calligraphy.

(   ) 5. The writer thinks that calligraphy should be taught at school.
