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 isnt 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 Earths. 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.26 . Why isnt it possible to live on Mars right now?ABecause the temperature on Mars is too high.BBecause it is too far away from us to reach.CBecause people dont like living on other planets.DBecause there arent the three basic things to live on Mars.27 . What is the third paragraph mainly about?AMaking Mars warm up by building factories.BWhy we should move to Mars.CHow to make the environment of Mars similar to Earths.DHow carbon dioxide changes our environment.28 . What is the most difficult thing in terraforming Mars?AThe ability to create carbon dioxide.BFinding the scientists to do it.CThe technology to go to Mars.DFinding enough money to do it.29 . What can we infer (推断) from the text?AIts extremely hot on Mars.BMore carbon dioxide brings more help to Earth.CLife on Mars is impractical.DThe ice in Mars polar areas will contain carbon dioxide.Do you know why you cant concentrate(集中精力) on class and homework? Some of the most common reasons are non-medical and simple. You can change it by small things.Many studies show that students cant get enough sleep. Though they are busy every day, they must find a way to sleep at least 8 hours if they have a serious concentration problem. Do not worry about everything. Middle school is an exciting time, but it can also be a stressful time. If so, you might need to talk to your parents, your teachers or your friends to deal with your worries. Are you having a difficult time concentrating because you just cant get someone out of your head? Thats love. If so, you just need to discipline(约束) yourself. Make sure inside and outside your head is all about study.Food is another potential(潜在的) problem when it comes to concentration. For example, if you get too much caffeine, you may have insomnia, headaches and nervousness. These are sure to affect(影响) your concentration.Being bored is another big culprit(罪魁祸首) when we talk about the concentration. What can you do? You can give yourself a goal and think of a way to make the goal come true.30 . If you get too much caffeine, you may get _.AinsomniaBheadachesCnervousnessDall of them31 . Why cant we concentrate on class or homework according to the passage?ABecause we are busy every day.BBecause we are always excited.CBecause our head is all about study.DBecause we sometimes feel bored.32 . How many reasons does the writer talk about that can affect our concentration?AThree.BFour.CFive.DSix.33 . What can we infer(推断) from the passage?AIf you are busy with your study, you may get someone you love out of your mind.BThe only way to make you concentrate on your class and homework is to talk with someone.CNever have caffeine if you want to concentrate on your class and homework.DThe more you sleep, the better you can concentrate on your class and homework.On the north coast of Brazil, scientists once found something very strange-lost penguins（企鹅）far from home!The scientists did not know why the penguins were lost. Perhaps a warm current（洋流）took them to the north.But penguins cannot live for long in the warmer waters of the north. It was time to save the penguins.Sadly though, some penguins were too sick to travel and some of them were dying. The scientists took the healthy birds and put them on a large plane. They flew to the south coast of Brazil. Many people came to watch the birds. But at first, the birds just looked at the water. Then some of the braver ones swam about in it. It was cold!It was good!And so they began the last part of their journey. People cheered loudly as the younger penguins started swimming behind the older ones.

This becomes a problem, because most families love home cooking. The food tastes good and warm, and a family meal brings everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only times everyone sees one another at the same time.Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies is not just satisfying a childs sweet tooth. She or he is sending a message. The messages says, “I care about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that you will eat up in 15 minutes if I let you.”There is also something about the smell of home cooking.

One of my fathers friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman who owned a large store in St. Paul. Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernies place. Wed sit on the edge of the dock(码头), feet dangling(摇晃), and got ready for a big meal. Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then wed bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heartthe reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free partand throw away the rest.Bernie was my fathers idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernies wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you dont take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy lifes small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson Id learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could. Well, Ive relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. Thats the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.43 . In the second paragraph, the writer and his father were feeling _.ArelaxedBworriedChungryDproud44 .
