【推荐3】About Saturnbird Coffee
Founded in 2015, Saturnbird Coffee is a unique coffee brand exploring new lifestyles. With excellent products, we dream for a new life with coffee which is born with limitless possibilities.
Why a Bird LOGO?
We wouldn't have thought of choosing a bird as our logo. This is a 2015 story when we were decorating our first studio. One day, a bird flew in and was trapped by the glass curtain wall. It had been few days when a collage finally found this dying little one. Our primary idea was to bury the barely breathing animal in the neighboring garden, but Wang Lian our co-founder, brought it home. To our great surprise, the bird, after being tenderly cared of, finally recovered and flew back to nature.
This lovely bird comes from nature, so do our little coffee beans. We aim to bring natural products to our customers, and give the concern back to nature through our environmental protection commitments and practices. This bird is a perfect symbol of love and nature.
How to Interpret “Make Coffee More Accessible”?
This is where we started. With years of experience in this industry, we hope we can achieve it. Coffee is not a luxury (奢侈) since the stage of plantation (种植园). Therefore, it can only become more accessible through modern media. Instead of simply focusing on coffee itself, we care more about the lifestyles with coffee. For instance, a sip of our drip coffee can open up a whole new world to beginners, but in a relaxing way.
What we want to do is to present the even more possibilities of high quality coffee through product development and design. Coffee will then become an everyday part, so near at hand.
Project Return
Project Return is a long-term project of recycling used Saturnbird coffee cups. During the biannual event, customers can sign up on our website to participate in this project. Themed goods are available for participants at designated (指定的) locations in various cities on mission days. Recycled cups will later be transformed into new items.

【推荐1】China plans to launch 156 small satellites by 2025 toprovide Internet services in low signal areas and placeswith adverse natural environment, according toChinaAerospace Science and Industry Corporation(CASIC).
Due to environmental conditionsof deserts,mountains and seas, half of the world's population has noaccess to the Internet, and the information deficiencyhamperslocal development.
It will be China's first broadband Internet accesssystem with small satellites hovering in low orbit, whichwill also help meet the needs of commercial space development.
The project, named Hongyun, plans to send the firstsatellite by 2019, and launch four more by 2020. By theend of 2025, CASIC plans to have all of the 156 satellites in operation.
The Hongyun Proiect, which focuses on communication,remote sensing and navigation, can offer communicationand Internet services for China and less-developed 3countries with reduced latency. Meanwhile, the projectcan also benefit emergency communication, sensor data collection and remote control of unmanned equipment.
Currently, international maritime satellites are widely used in communications in mountainous areas and airplanes, but those satellites, 36, 000 kilometers abovethe Earth, have time and signal delay as well as high cost for providing services.
The small satellites sent by the Hongyun Project will hover in low orbits only hundreds of kilometers to 1, 000 kilometers above the Earth, and thus could improve the Internet access. However, the low orbit satellites may face challenges in power supply, as they need more energyto reduce the influence of air-resistance compared to highorbit satellites. Experiments are needed to determinewhether solar energy alone is enough.

【推荐2】Candy comes in many flavors. Some taste like fruit. Some taste like flowers. Some are chewy, like taffy (太妃糖) and gum. Hard candies are, well. hard! So, they last a long time.
But, in spoken English, there are some types of candy that you cannot eat. For example, you can’t eat eye candy. Eye candy is a person-man or woman-who is very good-looking. So, looking at this person is a treat for the eye, just like candy is a treat for the taste buds.
Do you hear of candy coat? Of course it is not a coat made of candy. But you can say I don’t candy coat the truth. What does candy-coating something mean? Well, some pills are covered with a coat of thin, sweet candy. The coating makes swallowing the pill easier, and it may hide a bad taste. So, candy coating a difficult truth or situation means you don’t directly discuss its bad parts.
After talking about candy you may want to eat some candies. However, some people dislike things that are very sweet, especially adults. But even if you do not like candy, you can still be called a kid in a candy store. This expression means a person is very happy to do something or to simply be somewhere. Imagine a child going from one candy display to the next, not knowing which candy to choose!
Talking about children brings us to another expression: as easy as taking candy from a baby. Think about a small, helpless baby holding a piece of candy. Taking it would be very easy—mean, but easy. So, use this expression when you are talking about something that may be simple to do, but probably not right.
1. What kind of girl can be described as “eye candy”?| A．Beautiful | B．Optimistic |
| C．Hardworking | D．Warmhearted |
| A．Making. | B．Taking. |
| C．Selling. | D．Testing. |
| A．Hard candies. | B．Candy coat. |
| C．A kid in a candy store. | D．As easy as taking candy from a baby. |
