A new American weather satellite could save more lives by better predicting extreme weather conditions. The satellite was launched in the state of Florida on November 19, 2016. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, also known as NOAA, has been working with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on the project.
NOAA officials are calling the new satellite GOES-R. That is short for a much longer name the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R Series.
NOAA said GOES-R could improve the nation’s ability to observe weather conditions and make weather predictions. It said the satellite’s device would lead to more exact and timely weather forecasts, watches and warnings.
The government agency said the satellite will require testing of its six instruments and will be ready to work “within a year.” One of the six instruments on the satellite is designed to help scientists study lightning strikes and map them. This, NOAA says, will help the agency follow the movement of severe storms and provide more detailed warnings.
“The next generation of weather satellites is finally here,” said NOAA Administrator Kathryn Sullivan. She described GOES-R as one of the most effective Earth-observing machines ever created. Sullivan said its instruments will be able to study Earth five times faster and with four times more details than any other NOAA satellite currently in operation. An NOAA statement said the greater detail will help improve the agency’s study of ocean storms, as well as “the prediction and warnings of severe weather.” In addition, GOES-R will be able to provide improved rainfall estimates, which will lead to more timely and detailed flood warnings.
Craig Fugate, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA in short, says that the GOES-R satellite will improve the ability of people and organizations across America to prepare for, and react to, weather-related disasters.
1.What can we learn about the new weather satellite?
A. It has been put into service for more than 5 months already.
B. It is the most effective Earth-observing machine ever made.
C. It works faster and provides more detailed information than any other American satellite.
D. It can help America to get prepared for and react to climate catastrophes better.
2.The satellite gets its name directly from ______.
A. NOAA B. NASA
C. GOES-R D. FEMA
3.Why does the reporter quote the words from different people and organizations in the news?
A. To show opinions vary from person to person.
B. To show the development of the satellite.
C. To convince the readers of superb functions of the satellite.
D. To prove they are authorities.
4.The passage mainly focuses on ______.
A. a new American satellite that can be used for military purposes
B. what the next generation of American weather satellites will be like
C. the fact that NOAA and NASA work together to develop a new technology
D. the comparison between a new satellite and the older ones

House Sitting
In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.
In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 1.
So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning. 2. I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.
3. There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.
There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 4. You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.
Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owners have a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.
5. Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get is references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can show these letters to possible house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.
A. I have done house sitting many times.
B. Thousands of people do this all the time.
C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.
D. Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job.
E. You must take a little care over what your description says about you.

If you find yourself constantly checking your cell phone, you may have a problem with
overuse of cell phone. 1. Here are four tips on how to create better phone habits.
1. Put your phone away an hour before you go to sleep. Staring at a screen right before
you try to go to sleep is going to make it more difficult to fall asleep. 2. Don’t try to
sleep with it right next to your head because you will spend more time focused on who might
be texting you than sleeping.
2. Carry your phone in your bag or pocket. When you take your phone with you, don’t
carry it in your hand. 3.This is especially important when you drive. Make sure your
phone is hidden away when you drive so you are not tempted to look at it and text.
3. 4. Think of the best times of the day for you to not be on your phone texting
and make it a “no phone time”. Turn your phone completely off and put it away somewhere
where you can’t get to it for a few hours. Forcing yourself to do this daily will help train your
brain to not get anxious when you are not on your phone.
4. Pretend like your cell phone is a home phone. 5. Try pretending like your cell
phone is a landline phone. Place it in one spot in your house and always leave it there and
only use it there, instead of taking it with you everywhere you go.
A. An hour before you go to sleep, text anyone you are talking to that you are going to sleep.
B. Cell phones are an annoying invention.
C. Have set times where you are away from your phone.
D. Turn off your cell phone before you leave your home.
E. Probably one of the major reasons you are addicted to （上瘾）texting is because you can carry your phone with you anywhere.
F. It can lead to reduced quality of personal relationships and lack of productivity in daily life.
G. Put your phone somewhere where you can’t see it.
