What will the future be like? It's possible that we may often fly up into space!Of all the coolest inventions of the year,Time Chase Spaceship One is the best.

Spaceship One is a 6-meter-long white spaceship. On June 21 ,American pilot Mike Melvill flew it to space and back―about 100 kilometers up into the sky.(1) Some might say it's not a big deal. You know,people went to the moon years ago.

  Well,Spaceship One is special because (2) it is the first spaceship that wasn't made by the government. It was built and launched (發(fā)射) by a private US company. Lots of people want to travel in space. But it's too expensive. American millionaire Dennis Tito paid almost US $20 million to become the first space tourist to visit the International Space Station in 2001. So private companies began to think of making their own spaceship to take other tourists up into space.

(3) 飛船一號的成功是一個好的開端。

In the next 10 to 15 years,if you pay $20,000 to 100,000,you could fly high above the earth.

What about having your own spaceship in your garage and taking it to space at the weekend?

  Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat,and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.

  Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources (資源) ，we are short of others,for example,fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources,what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. (1) I think we should say "no”to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.

  In our everyday life,we can do many things to prevent waste from happening. For example,turn off the water taps when we finish washing,turn off the lights when we leave the classroom,try not to order more food than we need and so on. Little by little,everything will be changed. (2) Waste can be stopped one day,if we do our best.
