Water purification system (水净化系统) In the 1960s, NASA created a way to purify astronauts’ drinking water by adding silver ions into spacecraft’ s water supply system(向航天器供水系统中添加银离子). This technology is now widely used to help keep the water in swimming pools clean.
Camera phones In the 1990s, a team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) worked to create cameras small enough to fit on spacecraft. Now lots of cameras use this technology, which makes camera phones possible.
Memory foam (记忆海绵) It was developed by NASA in the 1970s to help make pilots' seats more comfortable. Today memory foam is used to make more comfortable beds, chairs, sofas and even shoes.
Freeze-dried food (冻干食品) NASA did a lot of research on space food. One important thing was that they found a way of keeping food— freeze-drying. It keeps 98% of the nutrients(营养物) of the food, but the food weighs about 80% less. Now freeze-dried food is often used by campers and included in emergency kits(应急包).

On November 5th, 1872 , the Mary Celeste left New York to sail to Italy. The captain(船长), his wife, his daughter and seven sailors were on board. But something terrible happened. The captain of another ship found the Mary Celeste floating(漂浮) in the middle of the sea on December 4th, 1872. The captain, his family and the sailors were not on the ship and were never found.
What happened Why did the sailors and passengers leave the ship The Mary Celeste was not broken. Everything was good. There was no fighting, no fire and no smoke sign. There was still plenty of food and drinking water left. There were signs that the captain, his family and the sailors had left the ship in a hurry. We could tell all these because there was half-eaten food on the table. The sailors also left all their clothing behind. Even their shoes were beside their beds.
How and when did the people leave the ship Some people said that the lifeboat(救生艇) was still on the ship but others said it was missing. The captain's diary was found on the ship and the last entry(登记) was made on November 24th. So, we could only guess that the happening time was between November 24th and December 4th.
An investigator(调查者) went aboard the ship several times to search for the answers to all these questions, but he could not find any. No one else could solve the mystery.

In 1924, Frederick Mitchell-Hedges led a team to Lubaantun, an ancient Mayan(玛雅人的) city in modern-day Belize, a country in Central America. There, his daughter, Anna, found one of the most mysterious objects in history:a crystal skull(水晶头骨) that looked like a perfect human head. After that, more crystal skulls appeared in a short period across Europe and North America.
For years, those mysterious crystal skulls have caused a lot of discussion. Even now, no one knows exactly who made them, and no one can say when.
Some people believe the Mesoamerican(中美洲的) people made the skulls thousands of years ago. Some stories say they have special powers(能力), such as the ability to make sick people well. Moviemakers love these stories. In the 2008 movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the skulls had great powers. In the movie,a crystal skull is actually the head of an alien.
However, most scientists don't believe these stories. They think the skulls are more modern. Scientists have found marks on the skulls that they believe only more modern, technology could make. Because of this, scientists are certain the skulls are not thousands of years old. Instead, they think the skulls are from the 19th century. Scientists also point to the British Museum's research— researchers have found many Mesoamerican objects, but they have never found a crystal skull. Scientists say this is also evidence to show they are not really Mesoamerican.
Until we know more about the skulls, the mystery— and the debate— will continue.

There was a strange moving thing in the sky last night. As for what it was, my three classmates made different inferences. Alice said it must be a UFO because it flew very fast and no man-made things could fly so fast. Jack thought it couldn't be a UFO because it wasn't flying high in the sky. It might be a kite. He used to fly a kite that could give off light. But Antonio didn't agree with them. He thought it must be a plane because it sounded like a plane. What do you think it was
