It isn't the first time fish have been sent to space.Zebrafish were earlier sent to space station in 1976.Why do scientists choose zebrafish?Humans and zebrafish share 70 percent of the same genes ()So the new finding will help scientists better understand human health and human diseases. 31.What do we know about the space study?

I secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper.The message said,"Tell me you have seen this and you will win $50."This message took up half of the page.Unlucky people often missed it while lucky people were more easily to spot it. I find that unlucky people are just more nervous than lucky people.They are busy looking only for what they need and this stops them from noticing some surprising things.As a result,they miss out on good luck.However,lucky people are often more relaxed and open.They can see everything in front of them instead of looking for certain things. What's more,my study shows that lucky people live by several rules.Here are some of these rules: *Listen to your gut instincts(直觉)一they are often right. *Be open to new ideas and break your normal thought patterns(思维模式)， Spend some time each day remembering good and happy things.

Nature is like our mother, providing us with everything we need, such as food, energy and so on. But we haven’t been kind to her. We produce so much pollution that the air and water are getting dirtier. We cut down trees to grow crops, and it makes the birds homeless. We kill animals for food or clothes, so some animals are endangered. I plan to protect nature in my own way. I’ll take shorter showers to save water. I’ll never buy clothes made from endangered animals. And I’ll encourage my family and friends to recycle. Small actions can lead to big changes. Let’s protect nature together. Thank you! 参考范文 2 Dear teachers and classmates, I’m Li Hua. Today, I want to talk about the importance of protecting nature. It is our true friend. It provides us with the food we eat, the clean water we drink, and the fresh air we breathe. We cannot live without it. But look at what we’ve done. We’ve polluted the air and water, and in some places, there is no fresh air or clean water. We’ve cut down trees, and it makes the world become warm. We even kill animals for food. As a result, some animals have died out. We must take action. Start with simple steps like turning off taps to save water. I’ll take an active part in protecting wild animals. Also, I will plant more trees to make the world greener. Let’s remember, protecting nature starts with each one of us. Thank you!
