The World Tourism Organization says that space will soon become a popular place to go on holiday﹣possibly by 2020．One Japanese company is planning a space holiday centre．It will look like a bicycle wheel and have a very modern hotel for 100 people and a park．It will travel round the Earth at a height of 300km．The company hopes the centre will be ready in 2017．The company manager says he thinks that flying to the centre will probably be quicker than flying from Hong Kong to Singapore．After they arrive at the centre，tourists can take trips to the moon or go for walks in space．What about the cost？Well，the company believes that people will be happy to pay about ＄100，000f or a trip．But they think that as more people want to go，the trip will become much cheaper．
An American company is also thinking of building a very modern hotel，called the Lunar Hotel，on the moon．Most of the hotel will be under the ground，so it won't become too hot ortoo cold．The rooms will look just like they do on Earth．The guests will eat normal food for lunch．The cooks will just push a button（按钮） to mix dried food with water to become a meal!There will be little or no dirt（尘土） and there won't be much water．So the hotel won't wash the towels and sheets（床单）﹣they will be thrown away．

Have you ever had dreams about building a robot？Or putting together a spaceship？Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate？Done．All you need is a 3﹣D printer．
The possibilities of 3﹣D printing seem endless （无穷尽的）．All the user has to do is to design an object on the computer and choose a material to print in．The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass，sugar and even skin!When the user presses （按）﹣print，the 3﹣D printer spreads the materials layer （层） by layer and like magic the object is produced．
The first 3﹣D printer was invented in 1986by American，Charles Hull．But 3﹣D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use．Designers now use 3﹣D printing to create unusual things．The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges．
And doctors have used 3﹣D printing to print human body parts!The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man﹣made ear．But like a lot of new technologies，if 3﹣D printing gets into the wrong hands，it can be dangerous．
In 2011a group of four men in the US used 3﹣D printing to Produce ATM skimmers （提款机盗刷器）．These were placed on an ATM and stole over ＄400，000from users of the ATM．It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3﹣D printer to print a gun．But for better or for worse，3﹣D printing has been put into use．In a few years，you'll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3﹣D printer!

When people talk to each other，write letters or make phone calls，words of the spoken form or the written form can send any message they want to pass on．
But besides words，do you know any other ways you can use to communicate with people？Rich expressions on your face can be one of them．A smile on your face shows that you are happy．Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad or excited．Body languates can do the same job．When you put your hand up in class，the teacher knows that you want to say something or you may have some questions to ask．You shake your head from side to side and people know you are saying"no"or refuse others'requirements．When you nod，people will understand that you are saying"yes"or agree to others'opinions or suggestions．
Other forms can also carry different message．For example，a sign at the bus stop gives passengers instructions on which bus to take．The flag language made by soldiers can pass different orders．Sound from the school bell tells the students and the teachers when to begin or end a class．A photographer can use the photos he has taken to tell others about what he thinks of the world around him．Music and films also conveythe feelings and ideas of the musicians and the directors．So next time when you see a piece of art or listen to some music，take it as communication with its creator and try to get the meaning behind it．

Noisy neighbors are a common problem in a society where many people live closely together．And this can be most important when you share walls，floors or ceilings with neighbors in a fat．A noisy neighbor can make life challenging，especially if noise goes well into night，or happens during early morning hours．This situation needs to be dealt with properly，which requires your ability to keep calm．
You should first try to tell your noisy neighbors about the noise． This conversation should be polite， even friendly． It can begin with a statement like．"I am not sure you are aware"．Explain the problem in an honest way，and ask the neighbor to turn down the music，or not to hold parties until 3 a．m． You can also add that you realize they hear your noise too， and you are certainly willing to try to stop anything in your behavior that is creating extra noise．
You should know that not all neighbors are going to follow your requirement， and some may act in a bad manner． If the noisy neighbors don't change their behavior， the next step should be to write the neighbors a letter． The letter should show your grievances （不满） and the dates when the noise was quite terrible． For example， if your neighbor has loud gatherings every Friday night that last into the early morning then write down those dates．
When the noise remains going on， you should report it to local authorities （权力部门），or even the police department， when it is really necessary． Often， however， the problem is solved when the noisy neighbor knows you are going to call the police．
Do be aware that you cannot always require noisy neighbors to be quiet． When the noise remains going on， it is wise not to deal with it in an angry or retaliatory （报复性的） fashion． If you have completed the steps and letter， don't start hitting walls or moors around in your home or turning up the music to make your neighbors angry． Just have patience and remember that communication is the most important．

Shanghai is one of the first cities in China to see bike sharing fever． Shared bikes can now be found all over the city． （1） On streets， we can often see riders of your age． Some might even be younger than you． Unluckily， there have been some accidents involving （涉及）shared bikes． （2）

The good news is that Shanghai has been trying to manage bike sharing by making rules． The rules are still being discussed， but some of the rules have been decided on． （4） Users must be between 1.45 and 1.95 meters tall．
However， it could be hard to make these rules work． Ou Jing is ofo's manager in Shanghai． He said the company had banned （禁止）children under 12 from using its service． Yet， young children can still be seen riding ofo bikes． That's because many ofo bikes use manual （手动的）locks． （5） Ofo has developed electronic locks． However， it will take some time for the company to fix the new locks on all of its bikes．
Most of you are old enough to ride a shared bike． Still， please ride slowly for your own safety． When you finish using the bike， don' t forget to park and lock it properly﹣﹣for everybody's safety．

Many families go on holiday in summer， when schools are closed． （2） In the past， most British families would take their holidays at a British seaside town． However， now many people choose to go abroad instead． One reason for this is to escape（躲藏） the possibility of rain at home!

In the United States， summer holidays often involve a road trip． （3） It is common to drive hundreds of miles to get to your destination． If the beach is too far away， you could go to one of the national parks． Many people love to enjoy the natural beauty of places such as Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon．

Giving a speech in front of your class can be challenging． However， you can do something to make it success． First of all， you need to do something about your topic． For example， choose a topic about something you like， such as something that interests you or someone who is close to you． Once you've chosen your topic， try to find useful information about it online or from the library． As you do this， write down the information that supports your ideas in a valuable way．
Rehearsing（排练） your speech is also important． For this， you'd better write the script （讲稿） just like talking to your friends． Keep your script simple． Use interesting examples or stories to show your ideas． Once you finish your script， read it out loud to yourself and remember it． After that， write down 2to 3points that you may forget on a note card． Finally， you have to practice your speech in front of something or someone until you don't have to look at your note card．
In the end， it's time to give the speech． At this time， stand straight and hold your head high． This will show that you're confident． Show your listeners that you're excited by smiling before you begin and throughout the speech． Pause（停顿） after finishing a sentence， or after saying an important point． It will allow you time to collect your thoughts．
If you're out of breath while speaking or if your words start running together， you're most probably speaking too fast． If this happens， take a breath and slow down． While talking， look at your listeners， like friends． What's more， if you don't remember the next word or line， pause for one or two seconds to look at your note card． Before you begin speaking， take a deep breath， smile at your listeners， and then go on．

| Give your speech |
• Use proper body language to show that you are （8） and excited． • Pause at the （9） of a sentence or after saying an important point． |
| |
• （10） speaking too fast． • Look at your listeners while giving the speech． • If you forget what to say next， look at your note care， breathe deeply， smile at your listeners， and then go on． |
When we are talking to someone， we tend to change someone else's mind to our way of thinking．And we may often find it difficult to do that． So here are five tips on how to change someone's mind．
The first oneis never to turn the conversation into an argument． It should be a conversation where you show your opinions and the facts that you've collected． By showing them the facts， we want to tell other people that we are right． But emotionally， they may not totally agree with what you say． So when you are trying to change someone's mind， try to keep it as a conversation and not an argument．
The second tipis never to say that you are wrong． If someone makes a statement that you think is wrong， it's better to point it out by saying， "I thought otherwise but I might be wrong， let's look at the facts．" The key is to say that you might be wrong， not that you are wrong． This opens up the other person to look at the data again and shows them that you're not bullheaded （顽 固 的） and that you're not going to change your opinion． You're showing them that you are open to new ideas and this is super important in changing someone else's mind to your way of thinking．
Tip number threeis to get the other person saying yes as fast as possible． You may begin your conversation on hobbies that you guys have， something that they're crazy about， something that gets them saying yes． Because the more that you get them to say yes now， the more likely they are to say yes in the future． A conversation like this will get them to start to like you and maybe even more open up to ideas that you have． It builds up trust between the two of you．
Tip number fouris to let the other person do a great amount of talking． If you let them talk more， you're going to show that you actually care about their opinions and ideas， which will earn their respect in the end． By listening to them， you're going to create a friendly relationship and build trust． So when you express your opinions， they will also show a willingness to listen． Never interrupt them when they are talking． Just listen patiently with an open mind， encourage them to talk even more and more so that when it's your tum to talk， they'll listen and say nothing．
The last tipis to let the other person feel like the idea was theirs． It's wiser to make suggestions and let someone else come to the conclusion， then they have a sense of pride that it's their idea． Giving someone the data and letting them come to the conclusion let them feel like it is their idea and they are proud of it．
Title： How to change someone else's mind

Though it is not （1） to change someone else's mind， here are tips you can follow． |

After arriving in Canada， we packed our （5） （工具） into small boats and set off．Since very few people now lived along that coast， the only other living animals we saw for the first few days were dolphins and birds．
We often stopped for hours to explore the （6） （岩石） pools on the beaches． And we never （7） （忘记） lunch or dinner， though， which we all made together over camp fires．When we （8） （最后） fell asleep on the boats each evening， even though the beds were hard， it really felt like stress﹣free living!
When the time came to leave， I was sad．How could I return to （9） （正常的）life again？ But I knew if I stayed， I would （10） （想念） my family and friends． I was also looking forward to telling everyone at home about our experiences．
