英文摘要	We briefly introduce the disadvantages for Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as standard candles to measure the universe, and suggest Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can serve as a powerful tool for probing the properties of high redshift universe. We use GRBs as distance indicators in constructing the Hubble diagram at redshifts beyond the current reach of SNe Ia observations. Since the progenitors of long GRBs (LGRBs) are confirmed to be massive stars, they are deemed as an effective approach to study the cosmic star formation rate (SFR). A detailed representation of how to measure high-z SFR using GRBs is presented. Moreover, first stars can form only in structures that are suitably dense, which can be parametrized by defining the minimum dark matter halo mass M-min. Mmin must play a crucial role in star formation. The association of LGRBs with the collapses of massive stars also indicates that the GRB data can be applied to constrain the minimum halo mass Mmin and to investigate star formation in dark matter halos.
