The Hubble telescope was launched into space by NASA on April 20,1990 at a cost of over a billiondollars. Right from the start there was trouble with the Hubble. The pictures it sent us were verydisappointing because its main mirror was faulty! NASA is now going to put the telescope right, so it will soon be sending up four astronauts to repair it. The shuttle Endeavour will be taking the astronauts to the Hubble. A robot-arm from the Endeavour will grab the telescope and hold it while the astronauts make the necessary repairs. Of course, the Hubble is above the earths atmosphere, so it will soon be sending us the clearest pictures of the stars and distant galaxies that we have ever seen. The Hubble will tell us a great deal about the age and size of the universe. By the time you read this, the Hubbles eagle eye will have sent us thousands and thousands of wonderful pictures. 【课文翻译】 哈勃望远镜于1990年4月20日由国家航空航天局发射升空，耗资10多亿美元。

A short time before, great trees had covered the countryside for miles around. Now, smoke still rose up from the warm ground over the desolate hills. Winter was coming on and the hillsthreatened the surrounding villages with destruction, for heavy rain would not only wash away the soil but would cause serious floods as well.
