Inventions arrive every day. When people invent great new things， we get ideas about the future.

What will the future be like? It’s possible that we may often fly up into space! Out of all the coolest inventions of the year， Space Ship One is thought to be the best.

Space Ship One is a 6-metre-long white spaceship. On June 21， 2004， American pilot Mike Mclville flew it to space and back－about 100 kilomtres up into the sky.

Some might say it’s not a big deal. You know， people went to the moon years ago.

Well， Space Ship One is special because it is the first spaceship that wasn’t made by the government(政府). It was built and sent up by a private(私人的) US company.

Lots of people went to travel in space. But it’s too expensive. American millionaire(百万富翁) Dennis Tito paid almost US $20 million to become the first space tourist to visit the International Space Station in 2001.

So private companies began to think of making their own spaceship to take other tourists up into space.

The success of Space Ship One is a good start.

“The flight opens a new page in history， putting space within the reach of ordinary people，” said Patti Smith， an official at US Federal Aviation Administration(联邦航空管理局).

In the next 10 to 15 years， if you pay $20，000 to $100，000 you could fly high above the earth.

What about having your own spaceship in your garage(车库) and taking it to space at the weekend.

1. Of all the coolest inventions from which people can get ideas about the future of the year， Space Ship One was chosen as the best one.

2. From the passage， we know that only few people have the right to build the spaceship.

3. If you want to fly to the International Space Station， you’d better keep healthy and eat more food.

4. People would know things well about the space since 1960.

5. The successful flight of Space Ship One opens a new page in history， because it puts space near to the ordinary people.

Many American families live busy lives. Every week， the children have sports， music lessons， club meetings， and many other activities， including (包括) hours of homework. The parents are busy， too. They work， take care of their homes， cook meals， and drive their children to activities. Some families do not have time to eat meals together more than once a week. One American community (社区) decided that it was time to take a break.

After seven months of planning， the community of Ridgewood， New Jersey， took one night off. They called it “Family Night”， a night for families to spend time together. Sports teams stopped their practices， and teachers did not give homework.

On Family Night， families agreed to turn off their televisions. They also decided not to answer the telephone. Answering machines said， “Please call back tomorrow.” Many families ordered take-out pizza and other take-out food so that they wouldn’t spend time cooking.

Popular activities included board games and card games. These games gave families a chance to spend time together. Children and parents weren’t so busy， and children didn’t spend so much time playing video games and watching television. On Family Night， families relaxed and spent the evening together. The town hopes to have many more “Family Nights”.

1. Many American families are too busy.
