Reading comprehensionAMark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their fathers wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.“Dad will be really mad if he finds out youve been playing with his new computer.” Jason said. “He told us not to touch it.”“He wont find out.” Mark said, “Ill just have a quick look and shut it down.” Mark had been scolded before for touch his fathers equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.It was a strange looking machine - one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “Its an experimental model,” his father had explained, “so dont touch it under any circumstances.” But his warning only served to make Mark more curious.

START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTO-REERIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动).” The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.“I think wed better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled, reaching for the power switch.

A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow (光芒), until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down as suddenly as it had burst in to life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed.“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFULLY. DESTINATION: MARS. RETRIEVE DATE 2025.”1.
