At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet Mars. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars.
First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars—it takes months. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. However, can these plants produce water for us? There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars suck us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways. People will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies.
There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the Internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have his own online teacher called “e-teacher”.
However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the Earth today. Food will not be the same—meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast, so the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.

What’s the passage mainly about?
The planets and stars are very far away from us. For many years, people have wanted to visit space and the moon. People who go into space are called “astronauts”. The first astronaut went into space about 40 years ago, and some people went to the moon about 8 years later.
Space is amazing. However, it is dangerous in space. Small pieces of rock fly past very quickly all the time. There is no air, so there are no animals or plants. Astronauts have to take air, water and food with them. In space, you can pick up very heavy things easily, but it is difficult to eat and drink. This is very strange for astronauts. For sleeping, astronauts spend the night floating (漂浮) in a sleeping bag.
Besides working, eating and sleeping, what do astronauts spend a lot of time doing in space? It’s exercise. If they don’t take exercise, their bodies start losing bone and muscle(骨骼和肌肉) which makes them weak.
It isn’t good for our bodies to be in space for a long time. Astronauts don’t usually stay in space for very long, but some have stayed for a year without any problems. Perhaps in the future we will all visit the moon or have holidays in space.

Mars is full of surprises. Not long ago, something strange showed up in a picture of this planet. It is a pattern (图案) on the ground that looks like a bear face.
The picture was taken from high above Mars. Scientists took a closer look at the bear. Different marks on the ground make up the face of the bear. Its two eyes are big holes known as craters (坑). Rocks from space hit the surface of Mars long ago and then made the craters. The nose of the bear is a hill. Part of the hill has broken off in the shape of a V. The circle that forms the head is a crack (裂缝) in the ground. It might be the edge (边缘) of a crater that was much larger. Later, something like lava (岩浆) filled it. The “lava” might have come out of the hill that formed the nose.
Seeing a bear face on Mars is not as unusual as it might sound. The human mind is finding patterns in the world all the time. This is why you might see a cloud and think that its shape is like an animal or object.
People watching the surface of Mars have had experiences like this. In 1976, people were excited to find something like a human face in a picture of Mars. But it was just a huge rock.
These days, people take pictures of all kinds of things on Mars. Some have strange shapes. They might look like Martians made them, but it is probably not true. So far, Mars seems to be lifeless. The strange shapes people see are just patterns in the land.
Recently, a pattern was found on Mars. It looks like a face of a bear. Scientists took a closer look at it. In fact, the bear face is made up of different marks on the ground. The eyes are two large It might not be as unusual as it sounds to see such a face on Mars. The human mind is Now, people take pictures of all kinds of things on Mars. Some in |

Volunteering is a great way to bring positive change to people, communities and society in general. The word “volunteering” started being used in the 18th century when people were willingly joining the military (军事) service. Today, the word is not so much connected with the military service, but with community service.
Official (正式的) organized volunteering appeared in the 19th century and became more popular in the 20th century. And the biggest development in volunteering was brought by the Internet. Organizations can reach people more easily online. Helpful platforms were raised, and more volunteer became interested when they found out about different opportunities.
What are the benefits of volunteering? We can learn a lot from volunteering. It connects us to others. It is a great way to meet new people with common interests. It also helps us make new friends, and improve our social skills.
Volunteering brings fun in our life. It is a fun and easy way to explore our interests and passions. Many people volunteer in order to make time for hobbies outside of work. For example, if a person has a desk job and long to spend time outdoors, he might consider volunteering to help plant a community garden, walk dogs for an animal shelter, or help out at a children’s camp.
Volunteering can also be helpful for our careers (职业). If we are considering a new career, volunteering can help us got experience in other areas and meet people in the field.

After spending hours cooking and preparing the table setting for your guests, you hope that everyone has a lovely time and enjoys the food. But it’s not all about the skills of the cook—the dinnerware (餐具) also matters. The colour of dinnerware has a big influence on how your food tastes. Here’s how to use colour psychology at your next dinner party.
Colours for picky eaters (挑食者)
Researchers at the University of Portsmouth found in a 2022 study that the color of the bowl changed the perception (感知) of food for some people. Picky eaters think that food in red and blue bowls tastes saltier than food in white bowls. They are also less likely to try new food if it is served in a red bowl.
So, if you have picky guests or if you want to offer new dishes, consider the color of the dinnerware first to keep everyone attracted.
Introducing new food to children
If your guests are children, the rules may have a little change. A lot of dishes—red, yellow, blue and green—are preferred by children under the age of ten, with yellow being the least preferred by all, according to a 2018 study. For children over the age of 10. when tastes are changing, they are more likely to choose white dishes, behaving more like adults, says the research.
Knowing this can help get your family to try new food or make your children’s gatherings a success.

New rules and behavior standards(行为规范)for middle school students came out(颁布)in March. Middle schools are going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won’t only have high marks. The following are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever cheated(作弊)in an exam? Don’t do it again! That’s not something honest students should do.
Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird Loving Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate it? You should join! In that way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect(保护)them.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought people could live on the moon?Maybe you’ll find another earth in space in the future. Everyone’s new ideas are important.
Protect yourself. Has a thief ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don’t let it happen to you. If you have to go back home late, you should let your parents know.
Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your study. But some things on the Internet aren’t for kids, so try to look at the good Web pages(网页). You can use the Web pages for fun or homework.

【推荐2】Do you want to become an early bird? Try about these tips:
Go to sleep five minutes earlier. You need 8-10 hours of sleep a night. It will be hard to wake up if you don’t get enough sleep. Get into bed five minutes earlier. The next night, get into bed five minutes earlier than that. You’ll get into bed over an hour earlier in just two weeks.
Have something to look forward to. What makes you excited in the morning? Is it 20 minutes of reading? Or is it taking your time to enjoy your breakfast? You’ll get up more easily when you’re getting up for something you like to do.
Move your alarm clock. Don’t put your alarm clock near your bed. Move it to the other side of the room and turn up the volume (音量), so you have to get out of bed to turn it off. When you’re out of bed, it will be easier to stay out of bed.
Get sunshine right away. 阳光帮你开启新的一天。Sunshine tells your body that it’s time to wake up. After your alarm goes off, open your curtains so you can get light right away.
Make it a habit. Becoming a morning person is like making any new habit—it takes time. If you want to be a morning person, get up early every day, even on weekends.

【推荐3】When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework, you might notice that there is no letter E. Have you ever thought about why that is so?
In the A, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are typically considered passing grades. An F in this system simply stands for “fail”. The word “fail” happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out the letter E. The fact of the matter is that any letter can mean “not passing” or “fail”. Some schools have U grade for “unsatisfactory” or grade for “incomplete”.
Even with all this said, we should also point out that E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US.
The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College. In 1897, they began to use the following grade scale:
A: 95%—100% （excellent）B: 85%—94% （good）
C: 76%—84% （fair）D: 75% （barely passed）
E: below 75% （failed）
We can see the inclusion of E instead of F.
Gradually, the letter grading system became more popular all over the US. However, many schools decided to drop the E grade and go straight to F. There is no evidence （证据）, but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”.
Why do we have letter grades? Part of the reason is that they made grading simpler during a time of great change for schools. As the 20th century began, growing cities and an increase in population led to larger school classrooms. Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students.
Today, more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect student learning. However, as teachers try to improve grading methods（方法）, many parents continue to prefer the letter grades they got as kids. They are familiar （熟悉） and easy for parents to understand. So while they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon.

3. What does the writer of this article want to explain?
4. Do you like the grading system mentioned in this passage? Why or why not?
