benefits Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth These are questions that 5 understandably are very often asked Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup 基因构成 as human beings What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains and on into all possible areas and environments The wider the spread of a species the better its chance of survival Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible Nearly every successful civilization has explored because by doing so any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for Without knowledge we may be completely destroyed by the danger With knowledge we can lessen its effects Exploration also allows minerals and other potential 潜在的 resources to be found Even if we have no immediate need of them they will perhaps be useful later Resources may be more than physical possessions Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives We have already benefited from other spin offs including improvements in earthquake prediction in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems Even non stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by products 副产品 of technological developments in the space industry While many resources are spent on what seems a small return the exploration of space allows creative brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works it also holds dangers The danger exists but knowledge can help human beings to survive Without the ability to reach out across space the chance to save ourselves might not exist While Earth is the only planet known to support life surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets It is true that the lifestyle would be different but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future 文章大意 本文是一篇议论文 向我们阐述了人类进行太空探索的原因 人类的基因构成决定了人 类探索其他领域包括太空的能力

stops working don t blame the service provider The malfunction 故障 might have been caused by something bigger a solar storm Experts expect that the earth will see more solar activities in the near future The malfunction of electronic devices is just one of the effects Sunspots 太阳黑子 serve as an indicator of the sun s activity For the past two years sunspots have mostly been missing Their absence the longest in nearly 100 years has taken even sun watchers by surprise When the number of sunspots drops at the end of each 11 year cycle solar storms die down and all become much calmer This solar minimum doesn t last long Within a year sunspots and solar storms begin to build toward a new crescendo the next solar maximum What s special about this latest cycle is that the sun is having trouble starting the next solar cycle The sun began to calm down in late 2007 so no one expected many sunspots in 2008 They should return in 2010 Scientists have predicted that the next solar cycle could be the most active on record more sunspots and more solar storms However sunspots are mostly missing now Since the earth is in close contact with the sun strong solar activities can bring trouble to our life People of the 21 st century rely on high tech systems for the basics of daily life Air travel and radio communications can be affected by strong solar activities A big solar storm could cause 20 times more economic damage than Hurricane Katrina What the sun will do next is beyond our ability to predict Most astronomers think that the solar cycle will go on but at low level However there is also evidence that the sun is losing its ability to produce sunspots By 2015 they could be gone altog
