4 . 17 Year-Old Astronaut

Elena Wolf is a reporter and is interviewing(采访）a   17 year-old   girl，Alyssa Carson，who wants to go to Mars(火星）. Here is what Alyssa Carson and her father said about her great dream.

Alyssa Carson, Aspiring(有抱负的）Astronaut：

Well, I first got interested in wanting to become an astronaut (宇航员)from watching a cartoon called the Backyardigans when I was around three years old. And basically on the show, the characters went on these imaginary missions(任务) to Mars. I wanted to be like one of their friends and go with them, and I started asking my dad all these questions, and basically just kept asking for videos, pictures and books and anything I could find about space and Mars.

Bert Carson, Alyssa’s Father

I’m just of that nature that I believe that parents should support their children in whatever their dreams are. It doesn’t matter if it changes a thousand times. It doesn’t matter how crazy it is, because it doesn’t get any crazier than what my kid is dreaming. And you know, there’s a great potential that she’s probably going to leave this planet. Because you have to look at this. You say, is she too young to be doing some of this thing? You know, every kid out there, if they’re wanting to do whatever job it is, you know, there are people getting pilot licenses and doing flying lessons. I mean, there are eight and nine year-olds doing this. So, I mean, to be 17 and getting a pilot’s license I don’t think is that young at all. As far as her going off into space, like I said, space is a very dangerous thing. All it wants to do is kill you. So, you know, I worry about that, but on the other side of that, she has educated me to show how important it is for us to leave this planet for the survival (生存；幸存)of the human species, and so it’s bigger than the two of us, and so I just have to let her go and I have to let her realize her dream.

When I was a young man, I though life was all about me — about how I’d make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your     1     and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn’t seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greastest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn’t     2     for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and     3     in yours. In the end, girls, that’s why I     4     for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.

I want all our children to go to schools     5     of their potential — schools that     6     them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college — even if their parents aren’t rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and     7     with dignity.

I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you’ll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer. And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the     8     of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other.

Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country — but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to     9     our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe. And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free — that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great     10    .
