The Origin of Life
It is a fact that each religion and culture has its own ideas how life began on earth. However, there is a widely accepted theory telling us that universe began with “Big Bang”. After that, the earth was just a cloud of dust floating everywhere. About 3.8-4.5 billion years ago, the dust settled into a solid globe, which is a planet belonging to the solar system. The earth became violent and exploded with fire and rocks, producing carbon dioxide,nitrogen,water vapour and other gases, which were to make the earth’s atmosphere. With the earth cooling down, water began to appear on its surface,which is fundamental to life, because it allowed the earth to dissolve harmful gases and acids into the oceans and seas, which produced a chain reaction.
Millions of years later,small plants appeared and multiplied and filled the oceans and seas with oxygen, which created conditions of other creatures coming into being. Reptiles produced young by laying eggs while mammals gave birth to young baby animals. Later, human race came into existence, who in their return, became the most important animal on the planet, but because human beings are putting too much dioxide into the atmosphere,which prevents heat from escaping from the earth into space, causing warming-globe. Mankind has never stopped exploring outer space to settle scientific puzzles, including biologists, astronomers, physicists and geologists. They cheered up to experience no gravity and pull. Our country has launched 55 satellites into space so far, which causes other countries to watch out for our achievements of astronomy.
译文：
生命的起源
事实是每个宗教和文化对于地球上生命如何开始的都有自己的观点。可是有一个广泛接受的理论，宇宙始于大爆炸。那之后，地球只是到处漂浮的尘埃。大约38-45亿前，这团尘埃最终形成一个固态球体，它属于太阳系的一颗行星。地球变得狂暴，爆炸喷发出火和岩石，产生了二氧化碳，氮， 水蒸气及其他气体，这一切即将形成大气层。随着地球冷却，地球表面开始出现了水， 水是生命的根本。因为，它使地球把有害的气体和酸溶解到海洋中产生连锁反应。
数百万年之后，小植物出现并繁殖，使海洋充满了氧气，为其他生物的诞生创造了条件。爬行动物靠产卵繁育后代而哺乳动物生育幼崽。后来，人类诞生了，轮到人类成为这个星球上最重要的动物，但是人类往大气层中排放大量的二氧化碳，阻止热量从地球逃离进入太空，造成了全球变暖。为了解决科学之谜，人类从来没有停止探索太空，包括生物学家，天文学家，物理学家和地质学家。他们体验无重力和引力而振奋。我们国家到目前为止已经向太空发射了55颗卫星，这引起了其他国家对我们的天文学成就虎视眈眈。
