This year marks 45 years since Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon,taking“one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind.”Overall,12 American astronauts have walked on the lunar landscape,the last doing so in 1972.

Enthusiasm for space travel has always increased and decreased.In 2010,President Barack Obama cut funds for a NASA mission that would haveput humans back on the moonby 2020.“I understand that some believe that we should attempt a return to the surface of the Moon first,as previously planned.But I just have to say here:We’ve been there before,”said Obama.NASA Administrator Charles Bolden has alsothrown cold wateron the idea of a return mission to the moon.

But others believe there are benefits to going back to the moon.“It’s the closest future body to us,making it the least challenging to explore all the planets,moons and asteroids(小行星)in our solar system,”wrote Gene R.Grushfrom NASA Johnson Space Center.Richard Vondrak,deputy(代理的)director of the Solar System Exploration Division at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center,said,“Astronauts can accomplish scientific exploration that is beyond the capability of robotic explorers.”

And then there’s the private sector.In the last few years,several private companies have launched rockets of their own,ending the public sector’s monopoly(垄断)on space flight.Meanwhile,Buzz Aldrin,the second person to walk on the moon,believes that there’s amuch better goalfor exploration:Mars.“We’ve walked on the moon,so we understand it better than anything else,”Aldrinsaid.“We’ve got to start thinking of long-term investments.”

People always feel headache about academic writing.Jennifer Ahern-Dodson provides some suggestions with some students and teachers.She asks about their earlier writing experiences.Were they negative or positive?She advises that you are not alone if you have had problems with your writing.She says everyone struggles with writing.

“Writing is hard.All writers struggle at some point.And even if writing has come easily for you,at some point in your work as a student,that eventually you’re going to hit a roadblock.So it’s really important to take a moment to think about their past writing experiences.And when the writing was going well,what was happening?When the writing wasn’t going well,what was happening?”

She says most people’s negative writing experiences happened because a very specific formula is required for a paper including an exact length.”And so they primarily focus on,and worry about,what the final product has to look like,like how many pages for a research essay?Or if it is in the second or third language,you know,punctuation and grammar,like whether it gets communicated in the right language.

Another problem can arise when the need to do well on a paper is extremely important.“...like a timed essay exam,or a college application essay,or a research paper that is at the end of the semester,and it’s tied to the entire grade for the class.So worrying about what will happen if they don’t do well–get bad grades,don’t get into college–creates,of course,significant anxiety.And that can make it harder to get the writing done.”

Then she and the people she’s helping move to more positive projects.She says usually when writing comes easily,the writers feel they have something important to say.The teacher advises thinking about who your audience is,and what it is that you really want to say to them.

Recently,an American doctor in Liberia has been tested positive for the Ebola virus.Dr.Rick Sacra,a Christian missionary(传教士)wasn’t treating people with Ebola,but he’s in the country that’s been hardest hit by the latest Ebola outbreak.And that’s one of five things to know about this virus.It’s killed thousands in West Africa.Second point,it`s a fever.Other symptoms are muscle pain,vomiting and bleeding.It`s spread through direct contact with blood and body fluids.

Some of those who oppose smoking in movies have just seen the future, and they are not happy about it.

Having caught up withJames Cameron’s3-D science fiction thriller,“Avatar,”over the holidays,Stanton A.Glantz,director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at theUniversityof California,said hisSmoke Free Movies initiative(倡议)would soon come out swinging with an informational campaign aimed at what he saw as the movie’s pro-smoking message.

“This is like someone just put a bunch of plutonium(钚)in the water supply,”Mr.Glantz said in a telephone interview last week.He was referring to scenes in which an environmental scientist played bySigourney Weaverdrags lovingly on a cigarette as she works to save the moon Pandora sometime in the 22nd century.

Scenesmoking.org,which monitors tobacco mentions in films,gave“Avatar”a rating:A“black lung.”Still,this movie is not the only holiday picture to earn that distinction,which indicates unacceptable depictions(描绘)of tobacco.

“Sherlock Holmes”and“The Blind Side,”which were distributed byWarner Brothers;“Nine,”from the Weinstein Company;“Did You Hear About the Morgans?”fromSonyPictures;and“The Fantastic Mr.Fox,”also from Fox,were similarly rated with a“black lung”fortobacco use.

In a statement sent by e-mail over the weekend,Mr.Cameron said he had never intended Ms.Weaver’s character,Grace Augustine,to be“a role model”for teenagers.“She’s rude,she swears,she drinks,she smokes,”wrote Mr.Cameron.“Also,from a character perspective,we were showing that Grace doesn’t care about her human body,only her avatar body,which again is a negative comment about people in our real world living too much in their avatars,meaning online and in video games.”

Speaking as an artist,Mr.Cameron said:“I don’t believe in the dogmatic（教条的）idea that no one in a movie should smoke.Movies should reflect reality…I do agree that young role-model characters should not smoke in movies,especially in a way which suggests that it makes them cooler or more accepted by their peers.”

For the record,apart from the 3-D tobacco use,Mr.Glantz said he found“Avatar”to be“a great movie.”

13. What would be the best title for the text?

A. “Avatar”Made byJames CameronBecomes the Latest Hit Again

B. A discussion about the Role-model for Young People

C. ‘Avatar’Joins Holiday Movies That Fail an Antismoking Test

D. A Campaign against Smoking

14. What isWarner Brothers?

A. A rating administration.    B. A research center.

C. A film.    D. A film company.
