Paper Plane to Be Dropped from Space

　　For most people, it is enough to see their paper planes fly for a few feet．The Japanese, however, want to make a paper plane fly for 240 miles from space．

　　This crazy paper plane plan was brought up by the leader of Japan Origami Plane Association(日本折紙飛機協(xié)會),

　　Mr．Takuo．In 1999, Mr．Takuo asked Mr．Suzuki, a designer, if he could help design a 3-metre plane for a TV program．The plane flew successfully from the top of a mountain．Then Mr．Takuo asked Mr．Suzuki if he would help send a paper plane from space．They made plans to drop a paper plane from the International Space Station down to the Earth．The idea is to develop a kind of modern plane that can study the atmosphere．

　　An 8-inch-long paper plane has been made and treated with a chemical(化學藥品)so that it can survive the temperature of 200℃ as it enters the Earth's atmosphere again．Another 3-inch-long paper plane has been tested at the temperature of up to 300℃．The paper plane will probably start its trip during a space walk．It will continue at the same speed as the space station, but its orbit(軌道)will change slowly．Maybe it will survive the drop, but the researchers don't know where it will land, so they have written a message in several languages, saying,“This plane flew from the International Space Station．Please return the plane to Japan Origami Plane Association．”

　　If the paper plane successfully flies from space, some new design ideas can be explored．It seems to be a crazy idea, but who can say that it isn't a creative one?

(1)

What can we learn about the paper plane in the research?

[　　]

A．

B．

C．

(2)

B．

Because it belongs to several countries．

C．

D．

(3)
