Answer the questions according to the passage.

Have you seen advertisements about hair care products? The models(模特) have shining hair like jewels(宝石). But now making hair shine is no longer the task of hair care products, because hair can be made into real jewels. Believe it or not, a company called LifeGem in the US makes it possible.

The company is in the business of taking hair from dead people and making them into diamonds(钻石). Now the company plans to make three diamonds using Beethoven's hair to show their latest technology. The work will take about 7 months. In the end, Beethoven's long hair will become three shining diamonds.

Since the great musician died in 1827, you may wonder where they got Beethoven's hair. A man called John Reznikoff gave the hair to the company. He holds the Guinness World Record for the latest and most valuable collection of celebrity(名人) hair. His collection also includes hair of Napoleon, Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. In total, the collection is worth over five million dollars.

Though it sounds unbelievable, diamonds made with hair are for the families to remember the dead.

（1）、What does the company of LifeGem do?

（2）、How did the company get Beethoven's hair?

（3）、John Reznikoff doesn't collect Albert Einstein's hair, does he?

（4）、How long will the work take?

（5）、What are the diamonds made with hair for?

   Millions of stars are travelling about in space. A few form groups which travel together, but most of them travel alone. And they travel through a universe which is so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most important part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbour. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near it.
   We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering(漫游) through space, happened to come near our sun just as the sun and the moon raised its tides(潮汐) on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; A large tidal(潮汐的) wave must have travelled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and thrown off small parts of itself into space.
   These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets.

What's the red star in the sky through a telescope(望远镜)? It is Mars. Do you want to know more about it? Take the “Mars Orbit Express”!
“Mars Orbit Express” is a space probe (探测器). It was sent towards Mars by American scientists on August 12th, 2005. Its tasks are to study Mars' atmosphere and return photos to Earth. But before that “Mars Orbit Express” must travel about 100 hundred million kilometers and seven months. It reached Mars' orbit(轨道)in March, 2006.
Mars and Earth have similar weight and size. However, Mars is closer to the sun than Earth. Mars is very cold. The average temperature is below 50℃. The temperature at noon only reaches 20℃ during a Mars day. Its atmosphere is mostly CO2. It has much sand and two moons—Phobos and Deimos.
Scientists think Earth and Mars had similar beginnings 4.6 billion years ago. But while Earth supports millions of lives，Mars becomes bad. “Earth easily could have turned out like that.” said an scientist, “It is important for us to find out why and Mars Orbit Express' should do that.” “Mars Orbit Express” also would help scientists to learn what might happen to Earth in the future. “Mars Orbit Express” would work for about four years.

    We live in the computer age. People use computers to do much of their work. But few people know how to look after them. Remember the following when you use your computer:
    ① Keep your computer in a cool ,dry room. Too much or too little heat is bad for computers. Damp (潮湿) is also bad for them.
    ② Do not let people smoke near your computer. Smoke of all kinds is very bad for many parts of a computer.
    ③ Do not eat or drink when you are near your computer. Pieces of food and a little water in the keyboard are also bad for a computer.

Every minute，someone is setting up an Internet company somewhere, in the world． Each one is searching for the one great idea that could make his web company click in a big way．And they are trying all kinds of tricks to attract people towards their websites．While some websites offer sounds，cartoons and amazing photos on screen to make their sites almost a movie-like experience for the viewers，others provide free downloads and competitions．

A company in California，US，has decided to offer online smells to people who visit its website．

That is，if a pizza image comes on screen，your nose will catch the smell of bread and cheese！All you need to do is to connect a device（设备）called “iSmell” with your computer．This smart little device contains（包含）some chemicals that can create different kinds of smells．

The company has invented software that changes the chemical composition（成分）of different smells into digital signals(数字信号）．An onscreen image，which is programmed with the proper digital signal，will start the“ iSmell" device．The device will use the software to change' the digital signal again and let go of the correct smell．This device reads the digital smell code（代码）from the website and creates the proper smell from its store of chemicals．This smell is then made to blow softly in the direction of the user with the support of a small fan．

In order to let go of the correct smell，the company has created a “Scent Registry”，which contains a digital index of thousands of smells．The company plans to allow website developers to integrate（合成）the proper smells in digital code to their games and images．The company is also hoping that Hollywood filmmakers will use the smell technology in their movies．Imagine audiences getting the smell of rocket fuel as a spacecraft takes off on the cinema screen！Of course，filmmakers will have to be careful not to shoot in dirty neighborhoods，which have a lot of rubbish lying around．

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence (智力) and feelings.

In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.

The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a scientific report, IQ (智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand (另一方面), can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).

Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18 ℃, people become stronger.

Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is a "good weather" for health. People feel best at a temperature of about I8℃.

Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather's problem.

There are some easy things you can do to protect the environment and the earth. Choose ideas from the list or come up with a few of your own.

•Plant flowers, grass or trees.

•Whenever you visit a park or beach, take away what you bring there—keep rubbish in a bag until you can put it in a dustbin.

•Turn off the lights and TV sets when you leave the room. This can save a lot of electricity.

•Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth. You can save some water by not letting it run. Also, use a glass cup instead of a paper cup because this saves paper.

•Keep the doors and windows closed in winter to keep warm air in.

•Give your old books and magazines to a library instead of throwing them away.

•Give your old clothes to poor children you know instead of throwing them away.

•Use both sides of paper.

•Stop pouring dirty water into the rivers or lakes nearby.

•Encourage all your friends to do the same things you do to help protect the earth. You don't have to wait until Earth Day to do these things. Make every day Earth Day. If everyone makes a contribution to protecting the environment, the world will become much more beautiful.
