Scientists think that there has been life on earth for millions of years. However, we haven’t found life on other planets yet. The earth is a planet and it goes around the sun. And there are seven other planets that also go around the sun. The sun and its planets are called the solar system. The solar system is a small part of the universe.
Scientists have launched many spaceships to explore other planets in the solar system. Some spaceships have gone beyond the solar system. However, no one has discovered any life in space yet.

People want to find out about other planets like Mars. So Robot Landers have been made (被制作) to help them. This Lander was one that went to Mars. It has a long arm with a camera on it.
The Lander is inside this spacecraft (宇宙飞船). The spacecraft blasts into space. It will take a long time to get to Mars. When the spacecraft is there, the Lander comes down to land on Mars.
The Lander is on Mars. Mars looks like a desert on Earth but it is very cold. Now the Lander has a job to do.
The Lander digs (挖) in the ground to get soil (土壤). People on Earth look at the soil. What is the soil like? What is under the soil? Is there water here? The Lander helps people on Earth to find out.
The sun is going down. Night will come to Mars. The sun helps the arm on the Lander to move. When there is no sun, the Lander will not work.

Humans have always been interested in the moon. About 2, 000 years ago, scientists had already known that the moon moves around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. In old times, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully at night.
When scientists could use telescopes (望远镜) to study the moon more closely, they found the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that was caught in the earth’s gravity millions of years ago.
In 1969, moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again, new ideas were needed for this new study.
After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of the earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 million years ago, something that was about the size of Mars hit the earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.
Humans’ steps of exploring the moon will never stop. In the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we’ll still show an interest in it.

As we all know, the "rice bowl" culture of China has influenced some Asian countries such as Japan, Korea and Vietnam since we started to use chopsticks while eating food.
Chopsticks are usually two long thin pieces of wood or bamboo. They can also be made of plastic, animal bone or metal. (1) The most important thing is that chopsticks are a great invention in China.
Five thousand years ago people usually cooked their food in large pots, using twigs（小树枝）to remove it. (2) the population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces. (3)Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs by people .And twigs were gradually changed into chopsticks.
Some people think that the famous scholar Confucius living from about 551 BC to 479 BC pushed the development of chopsticks. Confucius believed that using chopsticks instead of knives would remind people to stay away from killing and violence at table.
We enjoy our delicious food with our family members or friends while feeling the peaceful and people-loving world by using chopsticks at table anytime.

The Internet has changed our habits, including our habit of sending greeting cards. There are many e-card websites that make it so easy to find the right greeting cards. They have greatly changed the way we send greetings to each other.
Our lives have become so busy that we have limited personal time. These e-card websites have allowed everyone to easily share their feelings and emotions(感情) with the people they love. They contain(包括) plenty of greeting cards that can be used immediately. The users can choose any card they like, from festival greetings to birthday wishes. In fact, e-cards are perfect for any event. That’s why more and more people like to send e-cards. If the users are interested in making their own greeting cards on the internet, they can create a card within only a few minutes.
Another benefit(好处) of e-card websites is that they have made it possible for you to send top quality cards to your beloved (心爱的) ones and surprise them with cheerful greetings. They allow you to send your greetings on a specific(特定的) date. So you can plan for the occasion(场合) when you want to send the card. For example, you can send your e-card on a certain day and then visit the person with some flowers the next day. This will surely create a good impression(印象) on the person you love.
We have never forgotten the importance of saying sorry to our beloved ones. But sometimes we fail to do so because, we are not brave enough to face those we hurt. Some e-cards on these websites allow us to express our feelings in a more thoughtful way.
Although some people still would rather buy traditional cards in the shops for the persons they love, especially when they want the cards to last a long time, more and more people are choosing to send greetings on the Internet.

All kinds of pollution and waste are doing harm to the earth. And small steps add up to make a big difference. There are lots of steps you and your family can take to help the planet. Here are a few ideas.
Save energy
First of all, turn off the unused lights in time and consider using energy-saving light bulbs(灯泡), which can save much electricity. Then use less water. For example, you can take shorter showers. Also, turning off the tap(水龙头) as you brush your teeth can save much water, too.
Choose green travel
If the place you want to go is not far away, please ride a bike instead of driving a car. Riding a bike seems to be a better choice. Because it can help cut down the air pollution. Otherwise you can choose public transportation, such as taking a bus or subway.
Say no to waste
The easiest step you should take is to avoid wasting food. Don’t take more than you can eat. Growing food needs much work. Moreover get long life out of things you own by taking good care of them. If something is broken, don’t just throw it away. You can try to fix it or use it to make something else.
Use reusable things
When you go shopping, don’t use a paper gift bag. Because it is not environmentally friendly. Disposable(一次性的) plastic and paper bags can pollute oceans and the soil. They are hard to break down. A reusable cloth bag will be a wise choice.

【推荐2】Will it matter（要紧）if you don’t take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the USA. People of different ages from 12 to 83 were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had different kinds of breakfasts.
The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.
The results also show that not having any breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because people will eat too much for lunch because of hunger（饥饿）. So they will gain（收获）weight instead. It isn’t useful to lose weight in this way.
