from now on

At a country fair, I decided to visit a fortune teller named Mrs belinsky. I went into her tent and she asked me to sit down. After I gave her some money, she looked at a crystal ball and said, "One of your relatives is coming to see you." . She will arrive tonight and intend to stay for a few days. The moment you leave this tent, you will be surprised. A woman you know well will come at you. She will talk to you and get you out of this place. That's all. "As soon as I went out, I forgot all about Mrs. belinsky, because my wife ran towards me. "Where have you been hiding?" she asked impatiently. Your sister will arrive in less than an hour. We must meet her at the station. "We are already late," I followed her out of the market when she walked away.

After I gave her some money, she looked at a crystal ball and said, "One of your relatives is coming to see you. She will arrive tonight and will stay for a few days. As soon as you walk out of this tent, you will be surprised. A woman you know very well will come to you. She will say something to you and then take you out of this place. That's it. " As soon as I got out of the tent, I forgot all about Mrs. belinsky's divination for me, because my wife was running towards me in a hurry. "Where have you been hiding?" She asked impatiently, "Your sister will come in less than an hour. We have to meet her at the station. It's too late now. " When she walked away, I followed her out of the market.

NCE2(6 1): Hubble's Trouble

Problems with the Hubble telescope

Hubble telescope was launched by NASA on April 20th, 20 1990, costing more than one billion dollars. Hubble has had problems from the beginning. The picture it sent us was very disappointing because its main mirror was faulty! NASA is now preparing to repair the telescope, so it will send four astronauts to repair it soon. The space shuttle Endeavour will take astronauts to the Hubble Space Telescope. When the astronauts make necessary maintenance, a robot arm from Endiavour will grab the telescope and hold it. Of course, Hubble is above the earth's atmosphere, so it will soon send us the clearest photos of stars and distant galaxies we have ever seen. Hubble will tell us a lot about the age and size of the universe. By the time you read this letter, Hubble's Hawkeye has sent us thousands of wonderful photos.

The dilemma of Hubble telescope

Hubble telescope was launched by NASA on April 20, 1990 at a cost of more than10 billion US dollars. Hubble had problems from the beginning. The image it sent us was very disappointing because its main mirror had errors. NASA is preparing to correct this mistake by sending four astronauts into space to repair the telescope. The space shuttle Endeavour will send astronauts to Hubble. When the astronauts make necessary maintenance, a manipulator on Endeavour will grab the telescope and hold it. Of course, Hubble is located outside the earth's atmosphere, so it will soon send us the clearest photos of planets and distant galaxies we have ever seen. Hubble will tell us a lot about the age and size of the universe. By the time you read this article, the keen Hubble telescope has sent us thousands of wonderful photos.

NCE2(62): After the fire

After the fire

Firefighters had been fighting the forest fire for nearly three weeks before they got it under control. Not long ago, towering trees covered miles of countryside in Fiona Fang. Now, smoke still rises from the warm ground on the desolate hills. Winter is coming, and these hills pose a devastating threat to the surrounding villages, because heavy rain will not only wash away the soil, but also cause serious floods. When the fire was finally put out, the forest authorities ordered several tons of special types of grass seeds, which grew rapidly. The plane sprayed a lot of seeds on the ground. When it began to rain, the plane had been sowing seeds for nearly a month. However, at that time, in many places, grass had taken root. Green patches began to appear on the black land, replacing the towering trees that had grown there for centuries.

Now, there is still smoke rising from the burning ground and pervading the desolate hills. When winter comes, these hills are a devastating threat to the surrounding villages, because heavy rain will not only wash away the soil, but also cause serious floods. After the fire was finally put out, the forest management authorities ordered several tons of special grass seeds that grew rapidly. The plane scattered a lot of grass seeds on the ground. Nearly a month after the plane was broadcast, it began to rain. However, by that time, grass had taken root in many places. Green grass began to appear on this charred land, replacing the towering trees that had grown there for centuries.

NCE2(64): Channel Tunnel

channel tunnel,le tunnel sous la manche

1858, the French engineer Aime Thome de Gamond came to England with a plan for a 2 1 mile tunnel across the English Channel. He said it was possible to build a platform in the center of the English Channel. This platform will be used as a port and a railway station. If a tall chimney is built at sea level, the tunnel will be well ventilated. In 1860, an Englishman William Lowe put forward a better plan. He suggested building a double-track railway tunnel. This will solve the ventilation problem, because if the train enters the tunnel, it will bring in fresh air. Forty-two years later, a tunnel actually started construction. If the British hadn't been afraid of invasion, it would have been finished long ago. Recently, there has been a strong interest in the idea of building the English Channel Tunnel. If completed, it will connect Britain and Europe for the first time in history.

Strait tunnel

1858, a French engineer named Aimee Thome de Ganmont arrived in England with a plan to build a 2 1 mile tunnel across the English Channel. He said that a platform can be built in the middle of the tunnel to be used as a pier and a railway station. If some tall chimney ventilation pipes are built on the sea surface, the tunnel will have good ventilation conditions. 1860, an Englishman named William Lowe put forward a better plan. He proposed building a double-track tunnel, which solved the ventilation problem. Because if the train enters the tunnel, it will suck fresh air into the tunnel. After 42 years, the tunnel has actually started construction. If the British hadn't been afraid of invasion, the tunnel would have been built long ago.
