For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite.Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving.Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls. Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to US through satellites.Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find 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(赤道).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 11,000 kilometers an hour--- exactly the same speed that the earth rotates.A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae(天线)facing the earth.Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit,So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position.This usually happens 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 10-12 years.Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired.Often,very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time.This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other. 56.

As for students, how should we behave ourselves? ks5u In our daily life, it is essential for us to form some good habits. First of all, we should be honest and faithful to others. Never tell lies or cheat in examinations. Secondly, respect each other and when someone is in trouble, offer our help to others. Don’t be selfish or hurt others’ feelings when talking. Thirdly, we have to avoid some bad habits, such as being late for school, throwing rubbish here and there or spitting in public. In general, it’s our duty to protect our own environment. ks5u In my opinion, no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. We all hope that we will be civilized students, behaving in accordance with school regulations and do as much as we can to build our school into a harmonious campus. (责任编辑:admin) |
