　　St. Martin’s Day is a holiday in Holland. St. Martin was a man who did kind things for many people in need. One cold winter day he was walking home. He wore a coat to keep warm and had a small piece of bread to eat. Then he saw a stranger on the side of the road. The man sat on the ground and he was hungry and had no home. St. Martin took his knife and cut his coat in two. He gave the man half of his warm coat. Then he gave the man half of his bread.

　　Nancy was a schoolgirl in Holland. One St. Martin’s day, she rode her bicycle with her classmates after school. When she got home, she said goodbye to her classmates and went into her yard. As she parked her bike, she heard a noise in the grass. She jumped back suddenly. At her feet was a small gray homeless cat. “That old cat keeps scaring me!” she complained as she walked into the room. “It won’t hurt you,” said her father.

　　She was angry about the cat but she could not be unhappy for long. It was St. Martin’s Day. “Who was St. Martin anyway?” Nancy asked. Father told her the story of St. Martin. Nancy was touched***感動***by the story. She put a piece of bread in her bag and went into the yard.

　　Nancy heard the noise again. “You wait a minute!” she called as she ran after the cat. She caught it and picked it up. She opened her bag. Taking out a piece of bread, she offered half to the cat. The cat hungrily ate the bread. “May we make a box for it to sleep in?” Nancy asked her father. “Sure,” said her father.

　　As we know, it is not easy to build a satellite. Building a traditional satellite normally takes years. The costs can he as high as $250 million or more. Most members of the design teams have worked in the field for a long time. They hold advanced degrees in math, science, or engineering.

　　But things are changing. High costs, unusual educational requirements and long start-up times are no longer an obstacle to space exploration. The scientists at Stanford University have developed a new type of tiny, inexpensive earth-orbiting satellites that go from ideas to launch***發射***in a year.

　　So far, college students have built and launched several cabe-shaped satellites, or CubeSats. At least 15 more are ready to go. Those already in orbit***軌道***take pictures, collect information and send it back to the earth, just as regular satellites do.

　　But you might not even have to wait until you get to college to start designing and building your own satellite. A new program called KatySat aims to get teenagers to take part. Once kids understand what satellites can do, says Ben Yuan, an engineer at Lockheed Martin in Menlo Park, Calif., the kinds of applications they’ll come up with may be countless.

　　“We’d like to put this technology***技術***in your hands, ” he tells kids. “We’re going to teach you how to operate a satellite. Then we want to turn it over to you as a sandbox for you to play in. We want you to take the technology into new directions that we haven’t thought of yet.”

　　Education isn’t the only goal of CubeSats. Because these tiny, technology-filled boxes are relatively inexpensive to build and can be put together quickly, they’re perfect for testing new technologies that might one day be used on major space tasks.

　　The biggest challenge now is to find ways to bring the satellites back to the earth after a year or two. Otherwise, major highways of space junk could gradually increase as CubeSats become more common.

　　Nowadays, college and high school students are getting a chance to learn what it takes to explore in space. Someday—perhaps a lot sooner than you imagine—you might get to design, build and launch your own satellite. If you do, you’re sure to have fun. And you might also get crazy about science for life.

　　58.Compared with the traditional ones, the new satellites __________.

　　A.need long start-up times B.are low-cost and small-sized

　　C.are very hard to operate D.collect more information in orbit

　　59.What does the underlined word “obstacle” probably mean?

　　A.An aim to achieve in the near future.

　　B.An imagination that kids usually have.

　　C.Something dangerous to terrify people.

　　D.Something difficult that stands in the way.

　　60.According to the passage, which of the following is true?

　　A.CubeSats could possibly cause pollution in space.

　　B.A few kids will send applications for the project.

　　C.Scientists designed CubeSats for kids to play with
