2 . Space X Makes Space History
Recycling isn't just for cans, bottles and unwanted gifts anymore. South African businessman Elon Musk's space transport company Space X has recycled its way into history and redefine the future of space flight.
On March 30, Space X successfully launched a “pre-flown” rocket. It marked the first time anyone has relaunched a booster (助推器) into space. Musk called it “a milestone in the history of space.” SpaceX hopes to turn space flight into a profitable business. To make it a reality, the company has long realized that reusable rockets will be an important part of its business model. A typical rocket launch of the type performed by SpaceX costs around 62million.A one-time-use rocket, which, once used, falls to earth and breaks up, makes up as much as 30 percent of the launch price.
Musk's ambitions (雄心), however, are not without risks. Last September, one of SpaceX's rockets exploded on its launch platform, destroying the booster, the spacecraft and its cargo-a multimillion-dollar satellite. The explosion set back the company's plan to relaunch a used rocket, but Musk seemed to be even more hopeful. The businessman believes that most rocket parts can be used dozens of times.
Following the success in March, Space X now plans to push on. Its plan is to have rockets launched, landed and then relaunched with 24 hours. Those rockets, the company hopes, will make the flights without maintenance (维护), and up to 100 flights in total. It's not clear how much effort that will take, but if Space X makes it a reality, the company will quickly achieve a position of power in the space industry.

6 . Why can’t some people even get an inch of what they dream of becoming? Blame it on pure dreaming and lack of surrounding goals for achieving their dreams.
Setting goals is very significant part of accomplishing and positive actions. It is like scaling (攀爬) a 200 feet construction and marking in the early hours on what feet you would like to reach at this specific period.
People who set goals literally generate a map of their goal settings in life, marking where they should start, where to pause, where to study a bit, and where and when to end. Once this map comes into being, it allows the map drawer to check where he is in the scheme (安排) of things and whether or not he is making some planning that will take him closer to his goals.
By surrounding goals, people will know how they are doing and what they should be doing to get their goals or dreams in life. They will know if they can relax or if they have to double their efforts when they are falling short of what is expected of them.
Goal surroundings means a person isproactivein dealing with challenges that may affect his plans. Being proactive means one is able to outline possible difficulties that may occur as well as the solutions to these difficulties. By doing this, a person is not easily scared or defeated when challenges occur because he has already prepared for them. He knows they can happen and he has prepared a solution or strategy when that time comes.
Setting goals will enable people to track their progress in whatever hard work they set out to do. It will help people become more confident in themselves and more motivated to get their plans.

My old friend, Harrison, had lived in the Mediterranean(地中海)for many years before he returned to England. He had often dreamed of retiring(退休) in England and had planned to settle down(定居) in the country. As soon as he returned, he bought a house and went to live there. Almost immediately he began to complain(抱怨) about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold. After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock. He acted as if he had never lived in England before.
