It had been announced that a com
24、et is heading towards the earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the earth. The news has caused panic.On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earths atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But
25、 the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the spend of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and million of people are dro

35、 their exact location.We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35, 880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11,00

So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens
37、 about every five or six days.Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A satellite usually works for about 1012 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often, ve

The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, aircourier travel isnt for ev
