According to BBC News, there are more than 22, 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes. There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.

Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites(衛(wèi)星), move around the planet at very high speeds fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle（軌道）.

To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.

To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.

Many scientists also suggest different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.

The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space Researcher.

“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says.

【1】What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

【2】Why is space junk considered a problem?

A.It burns up after it re-enters the atmosphere.

B.It could force new space tools to travel at slower speeds.

C.It may crash into other space tools causing damage or death.

【3】Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth's atmosphere so that________.

A.the tools can be reused later

B.the tools don't become space junk

C.the effects of space flight can be studied

【4】How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk?

A.Use robots to collect it.

B.Burn it in the earth's atmosphere.

C.Send it further away from the earth.

If you argue with your friend, will you forgive him or her? Most people prefer to forgive others, according to the Daily Mail.

Researchers from Yale University, the University of Oxford and University College London have found that we tend to (傾向于) believe that people are good at heart, even when they have behaved badly. 【1】.

【2】. The strangers were told that they would receive money if they shocked another person with electricity. The “good” stranger refused the deal and the “bad” one accepted it.

The participants were then asked to judge (評價) the strangers based on their decisions. 【3】. But they were not confident that the “bad” stranger was truly bad. If they then saw the bad person do something good, they were more likely to have a positive impression of him or her.【4】. In addition, people are more likely to believe someone is innocent (無辜的), rather than guilty.

This tendency can help us develop and keep healthy social relationships. Sometimes, people behave badly by accident. 【5】. But what happens if it is found later that this person is not truly bad? We may have lost a good friend or partner, Molly Crockett from Yale University told the Daily Mai.

A.Scientists believe that it is human nature to see the best in others.

B.Forgiving someone is the best way to build healthy relationships.

C.But we might get a bad impression of them anyway and therefore end our relationship with them.

D.And when these “bad people” do something nice, people will be likely to forgive their previous (之前的) mistakes and have a positive opinion of them.
