Man has been fascinated by outer space for thousands of years. It has been over forty years since mans first landing on the moon. Now, some people believe that space exploration is a waste of time and money. They point out the fact that it cost billions of dollars to carry on the space research, but little information was brought back. However, every coin has two sides. There are still a majority of other people who believe that space exploration has more advantages. And I agree with those people. Many new products, such as weather and communication satellites, are also products of space programs, and they have benefited people all over the world. And whats more, scientific knowledge about outer space has been acquired by mankind. We believe that it will bring more benefits in the future, which we cannot even imagine now. Space exploration is a challenge to human beings. Thats why several nations try hard to carry out space exploration continuously. ◆　高频单词 1．system (n.) 系统；体系；制度 2．theory (n.) 学说；理论→theoretical (adj.) 理论上的 3．globe (n.) 球体；地球仪；地球→global (adj.) 全球性的；全世界的 4．violent (adj.) 猛烈的；激烈的；强暴的→violence (n.) 暴力→violently (adv.) 猛烈地 5．atmosphere
