There are strong arguments on space travel, and below you will find a list of many frequently used arguments.

Pros of space travel：

—Space travel has inspired many people to continue improving technology such as inventing Velcro and non-stick frying pans.

—If you look at the total GDP worldwide, space only accounts for a very small percentage of

the total budget.

—Better to spend money on our future, than on other projects that would have a much lower potential reward.

—If we were to colonize (占领) another planet, it would reduce the population on Earth, which is already overpopulated. This will result in the survival of our species when our planet can no longer support human life.

—Multinational space stations have helped diplomacy (外交) among multiple nations. Cons of space travel：

—There is a very large percentage of the earth's oceans we have yet to explore. We should continue exploring the remaining unknown regions of our oceans before continuing to another planet.

—The funding for space exploration comes from the tax payers' pockets. Many do not think that they should be forced into paying for something they oppose.

—The total contribution from space travel is minimal, when considering the total cost. —We should not be thinking about colonizing a moon, or a planet. It's better to save our existing planet first. If we are to destroy one planet, what is to stop us from repeating the_mistakes on another planet.

—Not only is the cost of manned space missions expensive, but space travel can have a serious effect on the human body over an extended period of time. The only way to solve it is by using robots, which reduces the human risk factor, and reduces the overall cost.

Overall, most people approve of (赞成) our current exploration methods. In my opinion, these methods should be reviewed to help reduce the cost of launches. I believe the potential of finding resources on other planets will make the cost of several decades of space exploration worthwhile.

1．Which of the following benefits of space travel is NOT mentioned? A．Creating more job opportunities. B．Reducing the overpopulation problem. C．Bringing about advanced technologies. D．Developing relationships among countries.

2．The underlined part “the mistakes” here probably refers to ________． A．colonizing a moon B．doing damage to Earth

C．spending money with little reward

D．having a wrong understanding about other planets 3．What would be the best title for this passage? A．The future of space travel

B．The benefits of space travel C．Why space travel is expensive

D．Whether space travel is worthwhile or not 4．What's the author's attitude towards space travel? A．Negative. B．Doubtful. C．Positive. D．Not mentioned.

Years ago, the American writer Kurt Vonnegut often said there was one story that would always make a million dollars: Cinderella (《灰姑娘》)．

Cinderella made more like $70 million in ticket sales when it opened last weekend. But the movie got a_mixed_reaction. David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter praised the movie and said, “Anyone will find something to enjoy in it.” Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer called the movie “a winning re-do.” Richard Corliss of Time magazine wrote that “Disney finally got Cinderella right.” Other people were not as happy with the movie. Sara Stewart of the New York Post wrote, “This Cinderella is all dressed up with nowhere very interesting to go.”

Although different people think differently towards the movie, what is clear, however, is the movie's business success. It is not only popular in the theaters but also in sales. And Disney has widened its usual market for Cinderella products.

There are products connected to the Disney movie targeted (面向) not only at little girls, but women, too. For example, the famous shoe designer Jimmy Choo worked with Disney to create “Cinderella's shoes”. You can buy them for about $5，000. At that price, you would not want to lose one at the party, even if that is the way you get your prince (王子)．

The make up (化妆品) company MAC quickly sold all its products connected to Cinderella. HSN is a popular website selling clothing and objects for the home. The marketer is now also selling Cinderella products.

So, is there anything left for the children, those people we think of as the traditional audience (观众) for the age-old tale? Yes, you can find toys and other children's products at the American store JCPenney. Of course, you can also visit a Disney store.

5．The underlined part “a mixed reaction” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________． A．many changes B．different stories
