She is a cute，quiet girl．As a daughter，she has no secrets from her mother，who is very pleased with her．But these days she has become not so open as before．She has a diary that she keeps under lock and key．Her mother cannot help worrying about her：What will I do if she fails in love，which is too early of her age? After all she is reaching the “dangerous time”．These thoughts have caused trouble in the mother's mind．

One weekend the girl came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmate and would return late．This was the first time her mother agreed，and she couldn’t help worrying because her daughter had never been away at night before．The mother waited till nine．She decided to go out to meet her daughter．Just at that time，she heard the noise of a car parking．She went to the window and saw her daughter waving goodbye to a boy．Her heart missed a beat．When the girl came in，the mother was watching TV，just like nothing had happened．“Mum，I’ll going to bed．”

“All right．Go to sleep early．”

Next morning when the mother went to the daughter's room to do some cleaning，she found her diary left on the bed．After a few minutes' thinking，she at last opened it to the page of the night before．It reads：Mum，it's love that made you ask，but it would show your understanding of me if you hadn't．

If you watch the sky about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some “moving stars” ．But they’re not real stars．They are man-made satellites．And the biggest of all is the International Space Station（ISS國際空間站）．

From now until July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth, and people can see it just with their eyes．The ISS is the biggest man-made satellite because scientists want to live on it．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 an study there with many of the things they have at home．Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built．The ISS is the most ambitious（雄心勃勃） and expensive space program ever．Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year．

Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping-stone（墊腳石） for future space explanation．“The ISS will help us better understand the human body, explore space and study the earth, It can help us make life on the earth better,” said Kathryn Clark , an ISS scientist．

China is not an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments．China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it．

The ISS is not finished yet．More than 100 parts need to be put on．Scientists hope it will be finished as soon as possible．After it’s finished, more than 90%of the world’s population will be able to see the Space Station．So keep looking up, and maybe you’ll see it get bigger．
