【推荐1】China is a country in East Asia. It is large in more than one way. More than 1. 4 billion people live here. That’s about a fifth of all the people on the Earth! And China is the third largest country by total area in the world. It covers about 3. 7 million square miles.
This large country has many different kinds of land. It has some very low areas of land. In fact, the second lowest point on the Earth is in China. It is Ayding Lake in the Turpan Basin (吐鲁番盆地). Other parts of China have mountains. For example, part of the Himalaya mountains is in the west part of the country. This area has some of the highest mountains in the world.
The snow in the mountains is a source (源头) of many rivers. In fact, the snow makes two of China’s most important rivers. They are the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. The Yellow River is China’s second longest river. It is very special to the Chinese people, as it was the birthplace of Chinese civilization (文明). The Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia and the third longest river in the world!
There are thousands of rivers in China. But there is still desert in the country. And rainforests are also in some areas of the country. So visitors can enjoy different landscapes (风景) in this country!

【推荐2】Will humans someday live and work on Mars? Many scientists think so. In fact, they are already working on plans to turn Mars into a new earth.
Humans need three basic things to live: water to drink, and food to eat. Because there are not enough of them, it isn’t possible to live on Mars right now. For one thing, there is not enough oxygen. There is also no running water —just some ice. So how can we make Mars inhabitable? The answer is a process called terraforming.
Terraforming means changing the environment of a planet so that it is similar to Earth’s. On Mars, the average temperature is about -60 degrees Celsius. So one of the main goals of terraforming Mars is to warm it up. One idea for warming Mars comes from a problem here on Earth. Most scientists agree that Earth is becoming warmer because of increased levels of carbon dioxide (二氧化碳). We might create similar conditions on Mars by building factories that send out carbon dioxide, which will change the environment there. Carbon dioxide will melt the ice in Mars’ polar areas. When the ice becomes water, the water will send out the carbon dioxide that is inside the ice. In addition, rain will fall, and it may be possible to grow plants for food. The plants will add more oxygen to the air.
There will be many difficulties in terraforming Mars. The project could take many centuries, and the cost will be high. We have some of the technology, such as the ability to create carbon dioxide, but not the money. However, life on Mars is a real possibility in the future.
1. Why isn't it possible to live on Mars right now?| A．Because the temperature on Mars is too high. |
| B．Because it is too far away from us to reach. |
| C．Because people don't like living on other planets. |
| D．Because there aren't the three basic things to live on Mars. |
| A．Making Mars warm up by building factories. |
| B．Why we should move to Mars. |
| C．How to make the environment of Mars similar to Earth's. |
| D．How carbon dioxide changes our environment. |
| A．The ability to create carbon dioxide. |
| B．Finding the scientists to do it. |
| C．The technology to go to Mars. |
| D．Finding enough money to do it. |
| A．It’s extremely hot on Mars. |
| B．More carbon dioxide brings more help to Earth. |
| C．Life on Mars is impractical. |
| D．The ice in Mars’ polar areas will contain carbon dioxide. |

A walk along the Great Wall of China is an excellent way for kids to learn the long history of China. Climbing the Great Wall is always fun for kids!
Visit the Taj Mahal (泰姬陵). Children can learn about the wonderful love story and Indian culture here.
Learning a new language during the trip is a great experience for kids. Even if they can just speak some easy words such as “Hello,” “Goodbye”, “Please” and “Thank you”. They will help teach kids the importance of manners in different cultures!
Go to Disneyland. Many kids see it on TV and dream about it, and even decorate (装饰) their bedrooms in a Disney theme! It is a fun place for families. I advise you to visit Disneyland in Paris, Hong Kong or Shanghai.
Swim in the sea. There is nothing better than having fun on the seashore (海滨) with the sun shining, a little salt water in the mouth and sand in the swimming suit! Kids can build sandcastles here, swim in the clear waters and watch a beautiful sunset!
