    Do you have a nickname (昵称) ? Most of us do by our looks, clothing, or personality. But for cities, the meaning of their nicknames has much more than that.

    Many big cities have nicknames, such as New York--The Big Apple, London--The Great Smog, and Rome--The Eternal( 永恒的) City. Why do cities have such nicknames?

    In the 1920s, there were many races in New York. People called the prizes of these races apples. Writer John J. Fitz Gerald first called New York the Big Apple, because New York is the place that many people dreamed of going to for the biggest prize of all.

    For Rome, as the name suggests, the answer is simple. Romans believed that no matter what happened to the world, Rome would go on forever. Rome has been an important center of power for more than 2,000 years.

    As for London, in the Victorian period, it had problems with its air. Later in 1952, serious air pollution made 10,000 people fall ill. But now the air of London has become better.

    American country music is also known as(被称为)country Western music.It has a very long history.It comes from the folk songs of immigrants(移民)from Britain.
    Country music uses simple music and words to express everyday feelings such as loneliness,love,and sadness.That is to say,country music describes life.It talks about friends and enemies,trucks and roads,farms and crops.People in many parts of the world like country music,because everyone can understand what the music is about.
    Country Western music became popular first among cowboys(牛仔)in the American West courttryside.Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night.When they were alone with the cows,they often sang beautiful and peaceful songs to calm the animals and to overcome their own fear.They were not well—educated and so they sang about their daily life in very simpie words.They played guitars,violins,and other instruments.  In the south of America,many people added instruments from their homes,like bottles and spoons.  When cowboys visited their friends and families on holidays like Thanksgiving,they usually sang and played country Western music.
    In recent years,many musicians have made country Western music a little different from the one in the past.These changes make the songs sound even better.Today singers such as Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire,Emmylou Harris,Lyle Lovett,Eddie Rabbitt,LeAnn Rimes,Randy Travis,and a group called Alabama are singing and playing in different styles.They have brought country Western music more and more fans from all over the world.
 Answer the questions.

The ISS is as tall as a nine﹣story building and weighs 186,900 kilograms. It's about the size of two football fields and flies about 400 kilometers above our heads at 28,970 kilometers per hour. It goes around Earth once every 90 minutes. 

If you watch the sky for about an hour after the sun goes down,you may see some "moving stars". But they are not really stars. They are man﹣made satellites. And the biggest of all is the International Space Station (ISS). From May to July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth. And people can see it with their eyes during the time. 

The scientists want to live on the ISS. They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there. 

When the space station is finished,it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with many of the thing they have at home. Laboratories,living rooms and power stations are being built. The ISS is the most ambitious(雄心勃勃的)

Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone(跳板) for future space exploration. "The ISS will be more useful some day. The ISS will help us understand the human body better,explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the earth better. " said Kathryn Clark

Sixteen countries are part of the space program:the US,Russia,Canada,Brazil,and 11 European countries. 

China isn't an ISS country,but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003,China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it. 

After it's finished,more than 90 percent of the world's population is able to see the Space Station. So keep looking up,and maybe you'll see it getting bigger.
