And so far, we have achieved many successes. But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not stop trying to progress.The international space station (ISS) is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also essential. It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. It is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars. In a word, if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.As the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. The USA seem to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone, and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. Though it is still extremely expensive, it is much cheaper than doing it alone. It is really a job that needs everyone’s effort and will benefit everyone.Led by the . and Russia, the ISS is a joint project between six space agencies involving 16 countries. Called the greatest achievement in human cooperation, the ISS has e to the end of a tenyear’s hard work in construction. China has applied for participation inthe project many times. Unfortunately all the applications were rejected, which drove China onto the path of independent development. As the Long March ⅡF/T1 carrier rocket blasted offand successfully carried the Tiangong1 into space on September 29, 2011, China takes a big step toward its Space Station Era.Some West media suggested that the successful launch of Tiangong1 would disturb the balance of global space power, raising concerns about “China threat”. China’s space project is not designed for military purpose but for developing space technology to explore space resources and make use of them for mankind’s wellbeing.32. From Paragraph 2 we learn that ________.A. the necessity of building the international space station is not realized nowB. many experiments have been done in the international space stationC. people have traveled to Mars from the international space stationD. the international space
