         One day a very rich family went on a trip to the countryside. The father wanted to show his son how

    dad!""Did you see how poor people lived?" the father asked."Yeah!" "And what did you learn?" The son

         If you watch the sky about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some "moving stars". But
    they're not real stars. They are man-made satellites. And the biggest of all is the International Space Station
    (ISS 国际空间站).
         From now until July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth, and people can see it just
    with their eyes. The ISS is the biggest man-made satellite because scientists want to live on it. They think
    that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.
         When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with
    many of the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The
    ISS is the most ambitious (雄心勃勃) and expensive space program ever. Billions of dollars are being spent
    on it every year.
         Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping-stone (垫脚石) for future space exploration."The ISS will
    help us better understand the human body, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the
    earth better," said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.
         China is not an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. China sent some rice up to
    the ISS to find out what space would do to it.
         The ISS is not finished yet. More than 100 parts need to be put on. Scientists hope it will be finished as
    soon as possible. After it's finished, more than 90% of the world's population will be able to see the Space
    Station. So keep looking up, and maybe you'll see it get bigger.
    1. The ISS is _______.
    A. a world power station
    B. a man-made satellite
    C. an outer space moving star
    D. a stepping-stone to the sun
    2. You can watch the International Space Station with your eyes _______.
    A. an hour before sunset
    B. while flying on the earth
    C. in a special room
    D. from now till July
    3. The ISS is in fact regarded as _______ for space exploration.
    A. a laboratory
    B. a city
    C. a living room
    D. a museum
    4. The passage tells us that _______.
    A. China belongs to the ISS
    B. to build the ISS will cost less in the future
    C. China did some research on wheat through the ISS
    D. the best way to learn more about space is to live on the ISS
