4) 当because引导的从句与否定的主句连用, 而主句又位于句首时, 之前不用逗号, 因为主句动词否定的是其后的全部内容。为了突出because从句, because前常加上副词, 如: just, only, simply, chiefly等。

Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives．For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite．Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving．Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls．
Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to China through satellites．Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location．
We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another．They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator．Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place．This is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates．A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae(天线)facing the earth．Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit，so there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position．This usually
happens about every five or six days．
Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth．A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years．Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired．Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time．This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other． 1．Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?
A．Sending information for weather forecast． B．Taking photographs of the Earth． C．Sending TV pictures． D．Providing food for airplane pilots． 2．Which is true about the rockets on satellites?
A．To make the antennae of the satellites face the earth. B．To bring the satellite back to the ground． C．To have the satellite move on the right． D．Few satellites have such rockets．
3．What does the underlined word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refer to? A．A satellite． B．A little rocket．
C．A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky． D．The satellite puts the rockets in the right position． 4．What can be inferred according to the passage?
A．Not enough attention has been paid to the safety of the space.
B．Every time a satellite gets broken，it is brought back to the Earth to be repaired． C．A broken satellite is never left in space． D．They often crash into each other．

It’s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It’s not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it’s okay to just say “no.” I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.
So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self-confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
5. Why is there a smile on the author’s face in the morning? A. Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.
