Activity 1 Pair work. Look at the pictures and discuss what BDS can be used for in our daily life.
hiking or travel
emergency rescue
(紧急救援)
public transportation
fishing at sea
4
How does it work?
When you go hiking or traveling, you can use a smartphone app that uses BDS to find where you are. It helps you follow the right direction and find your way exactly.
5
How does it work?
Part 1 : Navigation in Our Daily Life
In emergency rescue, like after an earthquake, BDS is helpful for rescuers (救援者) to find people who are in danger under the bricks and stones quickly.
6
How does it work?
Shared bikes and city buses use BDS to track(追踪) their positions. This helps you find the nearest bike on an app and know exactly when the next bus will arrive at your stop.
7
How does it work?
Fishing boats use BDS to navigate the ocean. It helps them find good fishing spots(捕鱼好地点), and call for help quickly if there is an emergency at sea.
How useful it is !
Let’s learn more about BDS in the text.

Activity 1 Pair work. Look at the pictures and discuss what BDS can be used for in our daily life.
— What do you think BDS can be used for in daily life?
— Well, it helps with outdoor navigation. Hikers can use it to find their way easily.
— That’s cool. Any other uses?
— It also helps in disaster rescue, locating shared bikes, and guiding ships at sea.
— Wow, it’s really useful in so many ways.

①Up in the sky, there are many man-made inventions that help us find the right direction on Earth. Among them, China’s BeiDou Navigation Satellite System(BDS) is one of the best.
②In the early 1980s, the world depended on America’s GPS(Global Positioning System) for navigation. However, in 1994, China decided to develop its own navigation system. In the next 10 years, a research and development team worked day and night, doing experiments, running tests, and solving technological problems. Finally, in 2003, BDS-1 was put into use and began providing services for people in China. This marked the first step in China’s three-step BDS program.

③The second step was to bring BDS to more countries. This was a big goal and required even more efforts. Experienced engineers worked closely with younger ones, passing on successful experience and solving the problems one by one. In 2012, after nine years of hard work, BDS-2 was completed. Its services covered the Asia-Pacific area.
④Starting in 2015, the Chinese scientists aimed to make BDS work around the world. To compete with the navigation systems from Europe and America, the Chinese team worked harder than ever. Finally, in 2020, BDS-3 was completed and began providing services worldwide.
⑤China’s navigation satellite system is named “BeiDou” after the seven bright stars that the ancient Chinese used for navigation. In the future, China will continue to improve BDS and provide better navigation services for the whole world.
