2 . A great printer makes an important part of a household working device, and besides work, they're useful for printing labels and scanning documents. We've selected three printers for the home.
Epson EcoTank ET-8500
The EcoTank ET-8500 is undoubtedly a quality product, coming with six-colour Epson Claria ink which can print up to 2,300 photos with one bottle.

It has additional A3 printing function-with Wi-Fi printing allowing for easy access from smartphones. There's also a double-sided printing feature and a maximum speed of 12 pages per minute.
HP Envy 6430e all-in-one
Coming in on the lower price scale for printers is the HP Envy 6430e, another all-in-one colour printer that comes with six months of HP instant ink, a service that sends you ink automatically (自动地) when you run out. Also featured is a document feeder that can take up to 35 pages at once, with automatic double-sided printing and borderless printing function.
Canon Pixma MG3650

Louis Valentino, Jr. Park
Don’t let all of the factories fool you — Louis Valentino, Jr. Park has the best view of the Statue of Liberty. When you get hungry, stop by Red Hook Lobster Pound for mayo-coated lobster (龙虾). Sit at one of the cafe’s first come, first served outdoor tables, or eat on the waterfront.
Riverside Park
Stretching 4 miles from 72nd to 158th St, Riverside Park is perfect for hanging out along the Hudson River, enjoying beautiful views of New Jersey.

9 . Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our phone calls.
Computer connections of the World Wide Web and the Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to us by satellite. Airplane pilots sometimes also 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 (转动). A satellite must move around the Earth with its antennae (天线) facing the Earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit (轨道), so there are some 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 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 Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.
