Co-operation(合作) is always needed when you make a project that the teacher gives you.
First, discuss all you would like to do with your classmates. Choose one of the members to write down what you’re talking about. Then, with the ideas you get, list all you want. Everyone shares the duty for the project. You can collect information not only from books but also on the Internet. Making a survey and doing a research are also good ways. After that, all the members put what has been found together. Try to make the project more well-organized. In the end, you can give a report in front of your class to show the results of your hard work.

Visiting outer space is still a far dream for anyone who isn't an astronaut,but a day trip to the stars is already open for people to order!
A new company (公司),Space Perspective,is planning tests with passengers.It has big plans to run up to 500 flights from different places across the USA by 2024.If successful,reaching the outer side of space could be as easy as flying abroad in a few years' time.The plan will be for spacemen and up to eight passengers to travel in Neptune,a capsule (太空舱)tied to a balloon the size of a football field.
They will move slowly upwards right to the side of space,30 km away from the Earth.There,space tourists will be able to look back at the Earth and out to dark space and the sight of millions of stars.Although the price is yet to be fixed,the expensive flight,which will take six hours,is likely to cost over £100 000.Because the capsule remains within the Earth's atmosphere (大气层),no special clothing or training are needed.It means that older people or those with health problems will be included.
One problem may be the method of landing back on the Earth.The balloon moves back down from space until it falls down in the sea.Passengers,spacemen,capsule and balloon are then gotten back by ship.
Now Neptune faces competition from the Stratollite a balloon being developed by a company called World View Enterprises,while the super rich Richard Branson,Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are all pouring money into developing business space flying machines.The advantage of the balloon is that it will be cheaper than a space plane or rocket.

Since Dmitry started to live in the countryside last August,the 32 ﹣year﹣old has created hundreds of video clips that record the relaxing lifestyle in Hengzhang village,Lishui city."The rice is grown in the fields together with fish,which helps to increase local agricultural (农业的)products," said Dmitry,while introducing products from Hengzhang village on the popular Chinese short﹣videos platform Douyin,Besides filming videos,Dmitry also enjoys working with farmers in the fields,doing activities such as planting vegetables and feeding chickens.

It's been 100 years since the actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin produced the film The Kid ,which many consider to be his greatest one.
Like all films at the time,The Kid was made in black and white and was silent (made without any sound,not even the characters talking).The story is about the relationship between " the Tramp",played by Chaplin,and his adopted (领养的)child,played by Jackie Coogan.The pair develop a partnership where the six year﹣old boy breaks windows and runs away,so that Chaplin's character can offer his services as a window fixer.
Although the film is a comedy,it also has some tragedy,reflecting Chaplin's own life.He started testing actors for the role of the Kid just a few days after his baby son had died.Chaplin was known for being hard to please,and it is said that if he could,he would have played every role in every one of his films.When Chaplin visited a theatre,a dancer brought his son,Jackie Coogan,on stage,and Chaplin knew he had his co﹣star (联袂主演者).Chaplin later wrote, "All children in some form have talents;the trick is to bring it out in them.With Jackie it was easy.
Like the Kid in the film,Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor.They lived in London and were raised by their mother.When Chaplin was 10 years old,his mum became too ill to loo after her sons,so they had to take care of themselves.He later wrote that the film sets in The Kid were based (基于)on the places where he and Sydney had lived with their mother as children. "Perhaps that's why the film had some truth," he said.

There are about 1.5 million kinds of living things on Earth,but how many do you see every day?You often see the big colourful animals,like birds,rabbits,and fish.But look more closely.Can you see the small ones,too?Insects(昆虫)make up 80 percent of all the world's living kinds.Look on the ground.Imagine you could look under the ground,too.Many small living things with one cell live there.Life is everywhere around us,in every cubic foot (a foot= 12 inches).
David Littschwager is a photographer who wanted to find out how many living things lived in one cubic foot .So he made a 12﹣inch cube with a green metal frame.And then he put it in five habitats(栖息地).He chose a tropical rainforest(Costa Rica),a coral reef(Pacific Ocean),the Table Mountain(South Africa),a freshwater river(USA),and a small park(New York).Three weeks were spent at each place.He watched,counted,and took photos of everything down to I millimeter in size-that crawled(爬)or flew into the cube.
The results were amazing.Liittschwager found both common and rare living things.He discovered many new living kinds,like a strange transparent octopus that is the size of a fingernail!In total,more than a thousand living things were photographed.Liittchwager said the One Cubic Foot experience was like "finding treasure".David Liittschwager also found that the highest biodiversity(生物多样性)in the reef was in the skeleton coral(珊瑚遗骨).These skeleton coral are suitable for sea living things of all sizes to grow.Although the coral reef had the widest range of biodiversity,all the other habitats were full of life.Even the city park!
