【正文】 omic and military considerations have frequently been major driving factors in human expansion into new realms. Nonetheless, in numerous instances, man39。s attempts at exploration have been marked by imaginative leaps across hostile stretches, sometimes at great risk, to reach something undefined simply for its own sake. Much of the history of exploration—certainly of modern geographical exploration—has been European. Such has been the case not because European possessed superior curiosity of some other internal force, but because whatever events channeled their societies toward an advanced level of technology allowed them to expend more energy on exploration. The rapid growth and consolidation of their kingdoms provided them with an opportunity to exploit fully new discoveries. By contrast, the great Asian kingdoms,though no less capable,turned inward and erected walls—legal andliteral—between themselves and the “barbarians” of the outside world.The 20th century has witnessed the last stages of exploration of the Earth39。s first artificial satellite,Sputnik 1,and set in motion a series of programs of space exploration by the United States and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union launched the first man into orbit around the Earth on April 12, July 20, 1969, the United States landed two men on the surface of the Moon. Considering the two categories of space programs, manned and unmanned, a few generalizations may be made. Spacecraft without a human being aboard have invariably pioneered explorations. They are smaller, can operate for months or years, and offer no hazard to human life. Experiments and measurements, however, are limited by the need for preplanning. In manned fights, the range of experiments is greater because judgment can be adjusted, and, perhaps, repairs can be made and equipment maintained.1. The desire to explore the unknown may be the most lasting characteristic that distinguishes man from other animals.2. Europeans have gained the lead in modern geographical exploration because they are more curious than the people of other continents. 3. Today, there still are a few areas that haven39。s simply working himself overtime too many evenings, at the clinic. So be careful when you39。 it is a calming colour. Because of its exciting connotations（涵義）, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alertness and alarm, so fire engines and ambulances in some advanced munities are now rushing around in bright yellow colours that stop the traffic dead.62.
