Paragraph- Sent 1: Fossils can be used to match up rock layers.
Sent 2: As organisms change over time, they look different.
Sent 3: Older fossils will look different than younger fossils.
Sent 4: Some organisms only survived for a short time before going extinct.
Sent 5: Knowing what organisms looked like at certain times also helps date rock layers.
Sent 6: Some fossils are better than others for this use.
Sent 7: The fossils that are very distinct at certain times of Earths history are called index fossils.
Sent 8: Index fossils are commonly used to match rock layers.
Sent 9: You can see how this works in Figure 2.30.
Sent 10: If two rock layers have the same index fossils, then they're probably about the same age.

Paragraph- Sent 1: (CNN) -- The U.S. space shuttle program retired in 2011, leaving American astronauts to hitchhike into orbit.
Sent 2: But after three long years, NASA's successor is almost ready to make an entrance.
Sent 3: Orion, the agency's newest manned spaceship, is being prepared for its first mission in December.
Sent 4: In future missions, it will journey into deep space -- to Mars and beyond -- farther than humans have ever gone before.
Sent 5: Orion comes loaded with superlatives.
Sent 6: It boasts the largest heat shield ever built and a computer 400 times faster than the ones on the space shuttles.
Sent 7: It will be launched into space on the most powerful rocket NASA has ever made.
Sent 8: No astronauts will be aboard the December flight, which will test the spacecraft's systems for future manned missions.
Sent 9: Final work on the spacecraft is under way at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Sent 10: Orion came one step closer to completion this month with the stacking of the crew module atop the service module.
Sent 11: "Now that we're getting so close to launch, the spacecraft completion work is visible every day," Orion Program Manager Mark Geyer said in a statement.
Sent 12: A 3,600-mile journey When complete, the Orion capsule will resemble a fencing foil, with a tall spire shooting up from a rounded base.
Sent 13: At the top will sit a launch abort system, with downward-facing thrusters that would save the crew from a jarring crash in the event of a rocket malfunction.
Sent 14: The bottom portion, the service module, will perform various functions such as in-space propulsion and cargo storage.
Sent 15: Nestled between the two will be the crew module, capable of supporting human life from launch until recovery.
Sent 16: Attached to the service module will be a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket.
Sent 17: For the first time since the space shuttle's debut launch in 1981, the crew compartment will ride on the tip of the rocket rather than hanging onto its side, evoking the configuration of the famous Apollo or Gemini missions.
Question: Will any astronauts be aboard NASA's newest manned spaceship for its December flight?.
answer:
No.
