There Pictures from outer space now show us how much land has changed on earth.These images are taken by Landsat 7, a government satellite.The satellites have been used for 27 years.They reveal the clear-cutting of forests in the northwestern part of the United States.Pictures show the loss of rain forests in South America.
NASA's Darrel Williams speaks about the Landsat 7 Project.He said that an eruption caused trees to burn up in a large forest.Fifteen years later, pinkish images from space show that the trees and plant life are growing again.Williams says that clear-cut areas easily show up in the pictures.He wants Americans to look at how much land is being cleared of forests in our country.
Satellites have provided other information about changes on earth.In the past ten years, more than four miles have shrunk from glaciers in Alaska.Landsat 7 received these computer images of Glacier Bay in Alaska.
Hurricanes Floyd and Irene have damaged the coastline in North Carolina.Runoff from farms and silt have gone into the.ocean according to satellite images.Loss of trees and forests have caused hotter summers in southern cities such as Atlanta, Georgia.
The Landsat 7 images are like pictures in a photo album.Instead of pictures of the family, the album shows changes around the globe in the past 25 years.
A new satellite, Terra, is going to be launched by NASA soon.It will be more advanced than Landsat 7 and will take important global pictures.Ocean temperatures and energy loss will be provided by Terra daily.

1. Terra will be a better satellite because

Ano other country can make one like it

Bit is much cheaper to operate

Cit is more sophisticated than Landsat 7

DTerra will show energy gains

Scientists have shown that exercise is linked to brain changes throughout all stages of life and can help the brain develop and stay healthy. Babies, for example, need regular exercise to form connections in the brain. In children, research suggests that exercise improves attention, focus and school performance. In the elderly, exercise has been shown to help slow memory loss.
Then how does exercise help the brain? Over the last 20 years, scientists have learned that exercise can help keep the mind sharp in a number of ways. Exercise improves blood flow to the brain. The blood carries oxygen, contributing to more efficient connections between brain cells. Increasing blood flow is one way that exercise can improve mental abilities. The positive effects of exercise on the brain can be seen in babies, pre-teenagers and adults.
Babies are in near-constant movement, which is extremely important for development. This movement not only strengthens their muscles, but also helps their brains form connections. The process continues throughout life but is most intense in infancy （婴儿期）and toddlerhood （学步期），when children are mastering brand-new skills like sitting, standing, walking, running and jumping.
Exercise is also healthy for pre-teenagers' brains. In fact, some research suggests that regular exercise can improve school performance. A study found that the effects depended on how much kids exercised. The more days the children attended the exercise program, the more their focus improved.
Finally, exercise helps keep the mind sharp during adulthood. Research suggests exercise can increase the size of the hippocampus, an important area of the brain, which becomes smaller with age,and can increase levels of a protein （蛋白质）that aids the growth of new brain cells. This can help prevent older adults from losing mental abilities and memory.

4. How does exercise help the elderly?

ABy improving attention.

BBy slowing memory loss.

CBy connecting with others.

DBy controlling cell growth.
