Space Flights Can Be for the Rich or Lucky
Spaceflight is now available for very rich people. Jared Isaacman, a 37-year-old billionaire, is hiring a spacecraft from Elon Musk's company, SpaceX, for a four-day trip to space. It will be the first spaceflight where everyone aboard is a regular citizen.
There are four seats, and Isaacman is looking for three travelers who are not super-rich. He is giving two seats to St. Jude Children's Hospital. There is a raffle for the other seat. The goal of the raffle is to raise $200 million for the hospital. The winner needs to be under six and a half feet tall, less than 250 pounds, and pass some physical and mental tests.
The SpaceX trip will not be the only one to take private passengers to orbit. A Houston space company will take three men to the International Space Station. It will cost the men $35,000 per night to stay there.
Those who don't have the money for a space trip may soon have another way to experience a few minutes of weightlessness. Blue Origin is a company that plans to test its New Shepard space vehicle with passengers in 2021.

Yes, I think that predictions can make our lives easier because they can help us make better plans. For example, if the weather forecast shows that it will rain tomorrow, I can make backup plans in case it really does rain.
そうですね、予測はより良い計画を立てるのに役立ちますから、私たちの生活をより快適にしてくれると思います。例えば、天気予報で明日が雨だとわかったら、本当に雨が降ってしまったときのために、予備の計画を立てることができます。
-
Yes, I think it is important to study how the brain works because it will allow us to create ways to repair brains in case of disease or damage. For example, doctors could use new research to treat brain disorders, diseases, or do surgery.
そうですね、脳の働きを研究することは、病気や障害が起きたときに脳を修復する方法を生み出すことにつながるので、重要だと思います。例えば、お医者さんが脳の障害や病気を治療したり、手術をしたりするときに、新しい研究が役立つかもしれませんね。

Learning to Be Creative
For writer Maya Angelou, creativity has no end. She says, "The more you use it, the more you have." Julia Cameron's new book, The Listening Path, was written to help people be more creative. She says you should listen to yourself, other people, and things around you. People ask her what she does and she says, "I listen– and I 'hear' what I should be doing next."
Elizabeth Gilbert, who wrote Eat Pray Love, said that creativity will always produce fear. She accepts fear and makes use of it. She also said that we should let ourselves make mistakes. The late Ken Robinson, a famous teacher, agreed. He said that if you are not ready to make mistakes, you will never make anything original.
Where do new ideas come from? For many artists, a lot of it is hard work. Picasso said, "Inspiration exists, but has to find you working."
Walter Isaacson wrote a book about Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo was an artist and an engineer. But Isaacson said da Vinci's best quality was his curiosity. It's how he pushed himself to be great.Answer the Questions

1. Do you agree with Elizabeth Gilbert that creativity can produce fear?
-
disapear
-
Yes, I agree that creativity can produce fear because when people make new things, there are always things that could go wrong. For example, there are always risks in creating new things, so all we can do is try to think about what can go wrong and make changes to prevent those things from happening.

-
Yes, I think that silence can help with creativity because it helps us focus on what we are doing. For example, without noise, we can think clearly and not get distracted.
-
3. Do you think that being creative is always easy? Why or why not?
-
No, I don't think that being creative is always easy because the environment I'm in is often not helpful for creativity. For example, it may be easier for me to be creative if I'm in a park or cafe, compared to sitting in an office or a busy restaurant.

1. Yes, I believe it is important for education to be affordable because not every family has a big enough income to pay for their children's education. For example, lots of working parents have jobs, but some jobs do not offer a high enough income for parents to save enough money to send their children to a nice school.
1.すべての家庭が子どもの教育費を払えるほど大きな収入を持っているわけではないので、教育費が手頃であることは重要だと思います。例えば、多くの働く親は仕事を持っていますが、親が子どもを良い学校に通わせるために十分なお金を貯めることができるほど高い収入を得られない仕事もあるのです。

India’s Mizoram State: A Selfless Community
Mizoram is one of the states of India. The state is known for its unique way of life. Mizoram has a set of rules about how to behave. They involve being honest, kind, and helpful to others. More importantly, it's about being selfless. In Mizoram, people put other people's needs before their own.
The Mizo people were able to stay separate from other parts of India because of a law made by the British. This law helped protect the rights, values, and culture of the people. Also, the number of people who want to visit Mizoram is controlled.
The Mizoram values are passed down from one generation to another. There is also an organization that protects the customs and values of the Mizo people. It helps teach the spirit of Mizoram. The organization helps do things like build roads. When someone needs help, the organization lets the whole community know. For example, if someone is building a house, everyone comes to help.
In Mizoram, people don’t put making money first. Instead, they think about what is best for the people first.Answer the Questions

Yes, I agree that living in big cities can sometimes be stressful because cities often feel busy and fast-moving, which may be unpleasant for some people. For example, it might be difficult for people who come from the countryside to adjust to the noise and activity of cities.
そうですね、大都市での生活は時にストレスになることがあります。なぜなら、都市は忙しく、動きが速いように感じられることが多く、人によっては不快に感じるかもしれないからです。例えば、田舎から出てきた人にとって、都市の騒音や活動に慣れるのは難しいかもしれません。

I prefer living in the city because it takes less effort to buy things when you live in the city. For example, if I need to buy something, I can just take a short walk or bus ride to get to a shopping mall.
都会に住んでいると、物を買うのに手間がかからないので、都会に住む方が好きです。例えば、何か買いたいものがあっても、ちょっと歩いたりバスに乗ったりすれば、ショッピングモールに行けるからです。
