      Over the next 20 years, we are going to send more and better robots to Mars. Those robots will send back better pictures, maps, samples, and weather reports. There is a limit to what robots can tell us, though, so eventually we will have to send people to study the planet.
      Before people can visit Mars, we need to invent a spaceship that can take us there. Mars is very far away. Depending on where Mars and Earth are in their orbits around the sun, it could take between six months to a year to get there.
      The moon is much closer, and we were there, 25 years ago. Over the next 10 years, we are going to work on building a new spacecraft that can go to the moon. Using this craft, we will practice the skills we need to go to Mars.
      Once we return to the moon, we are going to build a station so that people can live and work on the moon for months at a time. This is important so that we have a place to start from when we want to visit Mars, but it is also important because it gives us practice （实际经历）with living away from Earth.
      By the time you are old enough to be an astronaut, we will have people spending months on the moon. By the time you are old enough to be a commander of a space mission, we will be taking trips to Mars. By the time your kids are old enough to be astronauts, we may have people living on Mars. Wouldn’t it be cool to get a postcard from someone who was building a house on Mars? Wouldn’t it be cooler if it was you who sent the postcard?
8. We eventually have to send people on Mars because_________.
   1. robots could not send back pictures

   2. people can plant crops in it
   3. the new spacecraft can only land in it
   4. it is a place for astronauts to have fun
10. The author of the passage_________.
    1. thinks that trips to the moon are impossible
    2. encourages all kids to become astronauts
    3. hopes to receive a postcard from the moon
    4. thinks people’s dream of living on Mars may come true

Why do girls have to play sports? You might say “to get exercise” and you’d be right. To have fun? 11But there’s more. In fact, there are at least four more reasons. According to the Women’s Sports Foundation, girls who play sports get a lot more than just health.

Girls who play sports do better in school. 12But research shows that girls who play sports do better in school than those who don’t. Exercise improves learning, memory and concentration, which can give active girls an advantage in the classroom．

Girls who play sports learn teamwork and goal-setting skills. Sports teach valuable life skills. When working with coaches, trainers and teammates to win games and achieve goals, you’re learning how to be successful. 13

Playing sports builds up self-confidence. Girls who play sports feel better about themselves. Why? 14 Sports are also a feel-good activity because they help girls get in shape, keep a healthy weight, and make new friends.

Exercise cuts the pressure. Playing sports can reduce stress and help girls feel a little happier. How? 15 Friends are another mood-lifter. And being on a team creates tight bonds between friends. It’s good to know your teammates will support you — both on and off the field!

A. That’s true, too.

B. What do you picture when you think of girls playing sports?

C. Those skills will serve you well at work and in family life.

D. An energetic girl can bring more fun to the people around her.

E. You might think that sports will take up some of your study time.

F. The brain chemicals released during exercise improve a person’s mood.

【参考范文】

Dear Sir or Madam,

I’m writing this letter to complain about the poor service of your restaurant.

Yesterday, I went to your restaurant to have lunch with my classmate. We reserved our seats in advance, but the server at the front desk told us that he didn’t receive our call at all. So we had to wait for almost half an hour for a table. After that, when we asked a waitress to bring us a fork, she pretended not to have heard us. Worse still, another waitress spilt some soup on my classmate’s dress but she even didn’t say sorry to us.

I can’t believe that such things could happen in your restaurant, which enjoys a good fame for many years. Forgive me if I’m impolite, but we’re very angry about this and we hope that you can give us a satisfactory explanation. We are looking forward to your early reply.

Yours truly,

Li Hua
