As we learn more about the universe，we may one day answer the question whether there is life on other planets. 强调句型“it is＋强调部分＋that...”；其中confirmed后接两个并列的宾语从句。 whether引导的同位语从句。 With technologies first researched and developed for space exploration，we can solve some of the big problems facing mankind，making our lives safer and easier.One of these is earthquake shock absorbers.Shock absorbers originally applied to⑰the space shuttle launch have also been set up⑱in the cities with a high frequency⑲of earthquakes in order to⑳protect buildings and save lives.Some technologies need further research to better solve real­life problems.For example，liquid hydrogenis a clean alternative energy source that is used widely asrocketfuel，and it is likely that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will be mass­produced and launched in the near future.These scientific and technological advances can provide benefits to societies on the Earth in many areas including health，energy and information technology.This should be a strong motivefor continuing to explore space. with的复合结构，即“with＋宾语＋宾语补足语”，作伴随状语。Although space exploration demands huge investment，the space industry can actually bring great economic value.It has been calculatedthat the global space economy is increasing by billions of dollars every year.At the same time，space exploration can provide a variety of career opportunites for young people.Jobs in the space industry go far beyondthe astronauts that receive widespread media coverage.There are many support staff on the ground，such as engineers，mechanicsand research assistants. although引导的让步状语从句。 Moreover，the amazing work these people do can provide education and inspiration forthe next generation.For me personally，this is by farthe biggest reason for humanity to explore space.Such wonders as a space shuttle launch or astronauts walking on the Moon are incrediblyexciting and inspiring to witness，and it can be these moments that shape children's lives forever and motivate them to become the scientists and engineers of the future.It is this kind of inspiration that keeps our thirst for knowledgealive and ensures that advances in space exploration and many other fields will continue to be made.When you have seen a man walk on the Moon，you grow up believing that anything is possible! 我们为何探索 1969年，尼尔·阿姆斯特朗首次登陆月球时，许多人认为，不用多久我们就将经常去往太阳系内其他行星，甚至敢去往太阳系外的地方。实际情况显然不是这样。现实是，太空探索极度困难而危险，会耗费漫长的时间，花费大量的金钱。有些人相信，虽然太空探索拓展了我们对宇宙的理解，但它浪费政府经费，并且对于提升我们在地球上的生活质量毫无帮助。那么，我们为什么还要继续探索太空呢？ 探索是我们的天性使然。从地球上最早期的人类生命开始，我们对于未知事物的好奇心就一直促使我们不断去往新的地方冒险。我们渴望探索原始密林，攀登崇山峻岭，穿越深海大洋。我们想要探索这世间最为遥远的边界——太空。正如斯蒂芬·霍金曾经所说：“记得仰望星空，不要低头看脚下。努力去认清你所看到的事物，并且思索是什么让这个宇宙存在。要有好奇心。”天空令我们心驰神往，从世界各地的古老传说里明显看出这一点，例如嫦娥的传说。虽然太空探索已成现实，我们仍对宇宙的奥秘充满好奇。每次太空任务的进行，随之而来的是更深刻的理解，激励着我们沿着同一条冒险之路继续前行。 这些太空科学研究的成果，对了解宇宙的起源、演化和可能的未来，如行星、恒星以及所有其他形式的物质和能量，做出了重要的贡献。探索太空，有助于阐明关于我们在宇宙中的位置以及太阳系的历史这些本质问题。正是通过对太空的研究，我们才能确定地球是圆的，它绕着太阳公转。随着我们对宇宙的了解日益加深，有一天我们可以回答其他行星上有无生命这个问题。 依靠为太空探索首次研发的技术，我们可以解决人类面临的一些重大问题，让我们的生活变得更加安全和舒适。其中一项技术就是地震减震器。最早应用到航天飞机发射中的减震器，也已经安装在地震频发的城市里，用以保护建筑和拯救生命。有的技术还需要进一步研究，以便更好地解决现实生活中的问题。例如，液态氢，一种清洁的可替代能源，被广泛用作火箭燃料，而氢燃料的电动汽车很有可能在不久的将来实现批量生产，投放市场。这些科技的进步能在健康、能源和信息技术等众多领域造福于地球的各个社会。这应该成为继续探索太空的一个强有力的动机。 尽管太空探索需要巨额投资，但实际上航天业能够带来巨大的经济价值。据统计，全球航天经济每年增长数十亿美元。与此同时，太空探索能为年轻人提供各种各样的工作机会。航天业的职业远不只是被媒体广泛报道的宇航员。有许多地面的支持人员，例如工程师、机械师和研究助理。 更重要的是，这些人的出色工作，能为下一代提供教育和激励。对我个人而言，这是迄今为止人类探索太空的最大原因。亲眼见证航天飞机发射或宇航员月球漫步这样的奇迹，是极其振奋与鼓舞人心的；可能正是这些时刻，永久地塑造孩子们的人生，激励他们成为未来的科学家和工程师。也正是这种激励使我们始终保持对知识的渴望，并确保在太空探索及其他许多领域会一直取得进步。如果你见过一个人在月球漫步，那么你在成长的过程中就会坚信，一切皆有可能！ Read the passage again and answer the questions. 1．Why Neil Armstrong's first landing on the Moon is mentioned in the first paragraph?

Life expectancy is one of the most misunderstood aspects of retirement income planning—yet，it is one of the most important factors.Most people assume that life expectancy is the same as lifespan(寿命).This is not correct.Instead，life expectancy is a medium number of years—such that 50 percent of a particular age group will die before this number of years，and the other 50 percent will die after this period. How you save for retirement is also important.What you care about in retirement is how much income you have after tax and after inflation.You want to know what life­style you can maintain in retirement. If you saved for retirement only using registered retirement savings plan(RRSP)，you will need a larger account balance，as every dollar that you redeem from an RRSP is fully taxable(纳税的) while funds withdrawn from a tax­free savings account (TFSA) are free of tax.And if you were lucky enough to save funds outside these structures，only the earnings on these funds are taxable. Government pension rights are important in retirement income planning.Old Age Security(OAS) offers up to $569 a month and the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) gives a maximum of $1，065 a month.The average right for new beneficiaries is $640 a month. But let's look at this from another point of view.When you retire，one of the greatest risks that you have is running out of money.If you can maintain your lifestyle on your personal investment，then delaying the start of your CPP pension can be viewed as a version of longevity insurance(保险).
