     The rockets take astronauts and man-made satellites into space. The satellites are used for
communication, weather monitoring and research. But how do satellites stay up without falling down?
     There are two opposite forces (力量) acting on the satellite. One of them is the force of gravitation
(地心引力), which tries to pull the satellite towards the earth. The other force is created by the rotation (旋转) of the satellite around the earth. This force tries to take the satellite away from the earth. With
these two forces, the satellite goes round and round. The gravitational pull of the earth (the force which
pulls everything towards the ground) is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away.
      Everything that goes up has to come down. It is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back
to the earth. As time goes by, the satellite loses its speed, which makes the gravitational pull stronger
than the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite crash (坠落) down to the earth.

4. The satellite will finally crashes down to the earth ________.

A. when it flies faster
B. when its speed slows down
C. when people cut the rope
D. when there is no electricity in it
