It came from students in Melbourne, Australia. They are starting a test on space yogurt. The 40 high school students are working with the scientists from Swinburne University. Together, they are studying bacteria（细菌）that make yogurt. A rocket delivered the bacteria to the International Space Station（ISS）. The students are hoping to learn what will happen to bacteria on the ISS. “On Earth, you feel gravity（重力）. But this does not happen on the ISS.” said Mike, who studies at Swinburne University. They want to know what conditions the astronauts need to make yogurt. But how exactly do bacteria make yogurt? It all starts with the bacteria that live in milk. These bacteria eat the sugar in milk. Then they make a kind of acid（酸）. The acid turns the milk thick and sour. The students filled 36 boxes with milk and bacteria. Then, they sent the boxes to the ISS. The astronauts will use different kinds of milk and bacteria and run tests for 6 weeks. Then, they will send the yogurts back to Australia. The students will study the yogurts when they come back to Earth. They want to look at the nutrients（营养物）in the yogurts. “We even might get to taste them. It is pretty exciting,” Linda, a student at Swinburne University, said. The students also want to compare the space yogurts to the ones they grow on Earth.

Luckily, no one was hurt, and after a while, the police cleaned up almost everything on the road. However, I still saw there was one small rock lying on the road. I thought I’d move it to stop similar (类似的) accidents from happening again. And just as I got out of my car to move it away, I saw a man on the other side of the road running towards the same rock. I watched him lift it up and put it in his truck. I guess it was nice to see someone else try to do something special for other people.

Once an old woman named Mrs. Brown lived in a village. She had an apple tree. There were many white flowers and golden apples on the tree. People in the village called it the Sun Tree. Soon the king heard about the Sun Tree. He wanted it, so he went to Mrs. Brown’s house. Mrs. Brown didn’t want him to take her tree away. She gave the king a seed（种子）. The king told a farmer to plant it in his garden, but it didn’t grow. The king went again to Mrs. Brown’s house to take the tree away. She was sad and asked the king if she could keep one of the seeds. The king said yes. Soon the tree in the king’s garden died, but the new Sun Tree grew in Mrs. Brown’s house. This time, the king decided to take Mrs. Brown’s house together with the tree, so he asked her to move out. She asked the king if she could have a seed, but the king said no.
