Do you remember those times when your mother told you to avoid talking to strangers? But now you’re not a child anymore. In fact, there are many advantages of talking to strangers.
●You can meet a really great person.
Talking to a stranger is a good habit because you never know whom you may meet. 1. You can also meet someone who will give you a chance to get your dream job.
●2.
You have some opinion about different subjects and you know your friends’ and relatives’ points of view about them, too. But there are millions of other people who think differently and can give you unpredictable yet smart ideas that will broaden your horizons.
●You can improve your social skills.
3. Asking appropriate questions and attentive listening are two skills that many of us don’t have. You can better these skills when talking to a stranger.
●You can offer someone comfort.
The thing you’ll definitely like about talking to strangers is that you can make someone’s day better. 4. Praise people and they will think something pleasant about you. Having a sweet short dialogue is one of those perfect chances to make people cheerful.
●You can find the solutions you didn’t know about.
Talking to someone you don’t know is all about finding out something you didn’t know. You may have some problems that you can’t solve for a long time. However, someone you suddenly meet can figure out the right solution you didn’t even think about before. 5.
A.It may be a help you needed to get a long time ago.
B.You can expand your world view.
C.You can meet a person who will become your best friend in future.
D.Smile and people will smile in return.
E.Whatever social skills you have, you can make them better when talking to strangers.

From the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations, human beings have been putting great effort into space research. And so far, we have achieved many successes. But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not stop trying to progress.
The international space station (ISS) is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also essential. It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. It is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars. In a word, if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.
As the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. The USA seem to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone, and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. Though it is still extremely expensive, it is much cheaper than doing it alone. It is really a job that needs everyone's effort and will benefit everyone.
Led by the U.S. and Russia, the ISS is a joint project between six space agencies involving 16countries. Called the greatest achievement in human cooperation, the ISS has come to the end of a ten﹣year's hard work in construction. China has applied for participation in (taking part in) the project many times. Unfortunately all the applications were rejected, which drove China onto the path of independent development. As the Long March Ⅱ﹣F/T1 carrier rocket blasted off (leave the ground) and successfully carried the Tiangong﹣1into space on September 29, 2011, China takes a big step toward its Space Station Era.
Some West media suggested that the successful launch of Tiangong﹣1 would disturb the balance of global space power, raising concerns about "China threat". China's space project is not designed for military purpose but for developing space technology to explore space resources and make use of them for mankind's well﹣being.
