His grandfather paid for his schooling through primary school but when he entered secondary school, he had to get various jobs to
12、 pay for his fees. Yet even in school, he was always drawing and making things in class.After graduating, he did what he could to support himself by making animal sculptures from wires and sold them to tourists. His work was so popular that it caught the eye of Karen Beattie, director of Project Lua
13、ngwa, a nonprofit organization dedicated to education and economic development in central Africa.“I introduced him to a local welder (焊工),” Beattie told Newsweek.In 2017, Phiri worked with welder Moses Mbewe during the rainy season, helping to make a complex set of doors for Project Luangwa.

18、hard work of companies like SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, and Blue Origin, space tourism is well on its way to becoming a reality. Now, California-based Orbital Assembly Corporation (OAC) provides a chance for space visitors to extend their “out-of-the-world” experience by checking into a luxurious hotel
19、 in low Earth orbit.The 650-foot-wide Ferris-wheel-like (像摩天轮) Voyager Space Station (VSS) will comprise two rings. The inner circle will be fitted with spacecraft stations for guests. The outer ring will house the rooms, restaurants, bars, gyms, and scientific research labs. The solar-powered hotel
20、 will spin at speed high enough to create artificial gravity, ensuring people a comfortable stay. When completed, it will have room for up to 400 people. OAC hopes to attract not just tourists but also scientists, astronauts on long-distance missions, and even some semi-permanent residents.While the
21、 idea is interesting, making VSS a reality will take time. The team is currently building modules (组件) for a smaller prototype (样机) ring. The modules will be put together in zero-gravity using semi-automatic robotic tools made for the purpose. Once completed, OAC engineers will attempt to create art
22、ificial gravity similar to what Mars has about 40 percent that of Earth. Even if the prototype is wildly successful, transporting the VSS modules to space will cost tens of billions of dollars. However, OAC, which expects to charge $ 5 million per person for each 3-day stay, is confident they will g
23、et back the expenses. Though the cost may seem too high, it is low compared to the $ 55 million it costs to stay on the VSS.Besides, guests at the Voyager Space Station will be living in the utmost luxury. “Youre going to have the top chefs making really, really good food,” Orbital CEO John Blincow
24、told the Washington Post. “And when you pay $ 5 million to go someplace, its not going to be burgers and fries. We want to have Sting come up and play, and Beyonce. Therell be two shows every night. Thats part of the entertainment package.”8Whats the purpose of paragraph 1?ATo present a phenomenon.B

27、d among people of different cultures. In todays technological advanced society, however, people spread music online, sometimes without an artists permission. This can lead to many problems, and music companies are now cracking down on this practice. Sharing music online without permission is theft.S
28、haring music online prevents recording companies from making money from their efforts. They say that sharing music online has resulted in a huge drop in profits and sales over the past 10 years. People who find music for free online are not paying for CDs or every MP3 downloaded. To truly understand
29、 the influence of music piracy (盗版行为) on creators, one must understand how many people are involved in the recording process. For the sale of each album, profits must be shared between musicians, sound engineers, music producers, managers, advertisers, and the company selling the product. Many peopl
30、e believe sharing music only affects the recording artist, but the reality is that sharing hurts business for all companies involved.There are many people who dont see the harm in sharing music online and even think they have the right to do it. One online blogger states that he originally paid for
31、an entire CD and that he should be able to do with the material whatever he wants. While he may have legally paid for the music, he does not have the right to provide permission, which means people like the blogger are thieves.Although we dont spread todays music the same way we did before, theres n
32、o doubt that people around the world love to share music. However, internet piracy would prevent musicians from continuing producing albums for fear of theft. Therefore, if people want to continue listening to their favorite artists, they need to buy their music so that artists will make enough prof
