Q:Atrecess (课间休息), I don't know what to do because all my friends are playing games I don't like or don't want to play. So I end up standing by myself at recess doing nothing. What should I do?
Alex Rider,13, Bloomfield
A:In fact, recess was my least favorite part of the school day for Grades I to 5. I was never really into playing kickball. So, like you, I spent many days at recess standing alone. Take advantage of the extra time you have. I learned that reading a book is the best way to pass time, especially if it is sunny. Books are good for a lonely recess, because they take you out of your world and into another. If reading isn't your thing, then try making new friends. Some other things I would do at recess were chess and paper cutting. Those might be worth trying. Maybe the teacher who is watching over all the kids needs someone to talk to as well. Whatever you want
to do, don't let your time go to waste.
Johnny Hayes,15
A: Do you believe in time travel, Alex? Because you just dragged me 40 years into the past. When I was 13, half my friends threw themselves into kickball at recess — which was too vigorous(剧烈的)for me right after lunch. So, like you, I stood around a lot. Then, one day, my teacher, Susie, asked me,"What do you want to do?" I had no answer for her. But suddenly, it came to me: marbles! I asked a few friends, and they were happy to join me. Now, I'm not suggesting you play marbles, only that you consider what you feel like doing can make you happy. And one last idea: There's no harm in trying games your friends are playing that you think you won't like. You might just surprise yourself.

Teenagers and young peaple should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamt big and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have devcloped technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves.
Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality, Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world.
To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true.

On May 15, Zhang Rongqiao wiped(抹掉) tears from his eyes as China's Mars rover(巡视器) Zhurong landed safely on Mars."I was so excited," said Zhang.
As the chief designer of China's Tianwen 1 Mars mission(任务), Zhang was chosen by the
magazine Nature on Dec 16 as one of the top 10 people"who helped shape science"in 2021.Under Zhang, China made a huge step in interplanetary(行星间的)exploration."I got a taste of the old
Chinese saying — it takes 10 years to sharpen a good sword," Zhang told Nature.
In the Mars mission, Zhang led a team of thousands of researchers. The team worked not only on technical work like launches and flight control, but also on scientific research on Mars.
The challenges were many. They knew little about the strange and complex(复杂的)environment of Mars."We may not even know what we do not know about," Zhang told Nature.
During the process, Zhang played a key part in the decision to send an orbiter(轨道飞行器),a lander(着陆器) and a rover to Mars together at a time — making China the first country to do so.
"That's a big leap(飞跃) because China is doing in a single go what NASA took tens of years to do," said Roberto Orosei from the Institute of Radioastronomy of Balogna in Italy.
Zhang also made the important decision to land the rover on Utopia Planitia, where there are special landscapes for scientists to study. He hopes that the mission can do as much research as. possible and bring back"rich"information.
"The buck stops with him(他敢作敢当),"said David Flannery, an astrobiologist(天体生物学家) at Queensland University of Technology in Australia.
( )8.What does Parapraph 4 stolw?
A.Zhang and his team knew nothing about Mars.
B.Zhang and his team faced many challenges.
C.Zhang was confident about exploring Mars
D.Zhang and his team were not afraid of challenges.
( )9. What is Roberto Orosei-opinion?
A. China's Mars mission will last for tens of years.
B. China made its road short to exploring Mars.
C. China finished its Mars mission with NASA's help:
D. China is the first country to send only a rover to Mars.
( )10. The rover was sent to Utopia Planitia to
A.avoid bad weather B.find treasure on I,fars
C.receive messages from Eanh D.study special landscapes

Buck could not read the newspapers. So he did not know that there was trouble ahead. The trouble was for every dog with strong muscles(肌肉)and warm long hair, from Seattle to southern California. Some men had found a yellow metal (金属)in the Arctic darkness, and thousands of other men werc rushing there. Those men wanted dogs that were heavy with srong muscles for working hard and furry coats to protect them from the cold.
-Buck lived at a big house in a sunny valley in Califonia which was owned by Judge Miller. And Buck ruled over it all. He was born there, and had lived there for the four years of his life. There were many other dogs, but they lived together in the Kennels (狗窝), or inside the house. But Buck was neither a house dog nor a kennel dog. The whole of Judge Miller's lands was his. Buck was king-king over all the crawling, flying things of Judge Miller's lands, humans included.
His father, Elmo, a huge St Bernard, had been Judge Miller's inseparab(不可分离的)companion. And when he died, Buck took his father's place. He was not so large—he weighed only sixty kilograms—for his mother, Shen, had been a Scottish sheepdog. He had had a good life and he was proud of himself, for he had not become a house dog. Hunting and other outdoor activities had hardened his muscles, and swimming had made him healthy.
This was Buck in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike brought men from everywhere to the frozen north. But Buck couldn't read the newspapers. And he did not know that Manuel, one of the gardener's helpers, was not a good man. Manuel gambled (赌博)and wasted the little money he had. And one time when Judge Miller was away on business, and his sons were busy with an athletics(竞技)club, Manuel did something terrible. No one saw him and Buck go off on what Buck thought was a walk. No one saw them arrive at the railway station, where Manuel sold Buck to a man who was waiting for him.
Manuel put a rope round Buck's neck, under his collar. Buck accepted this because he knew Manuel, but when the rope was given to another man, he growled (发出低吠声) dangerously, And when the rope was tightened round neck, he started to choke (窒息)and jumped at the man in anger. The man fought him off and forced Buck to lie on his back, and tightened the rope even more. Buck
had never been treated so badly in his life, and he had never been so angry. But then his strength
drained(消耗)away and he soon became unconscious(失去意识的).He was still unconscious when the train arrived and the two men threw him into the baggage car.

Cars make our lives much easier. But they can also be a problem, especially fossil fuel (化石燃 料)cars.
To umprove the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles (EVs,电动车).
China has created the world's'largest EV market, according to the Wall Street Journal. In 2021, over 30 percent of the EVs sold worldwide were sold in China, more than twice as many as the number sold in the United States., 3 Chinese auto companies, including BYD and BAIC, have been among the top in the world in EV sales.
"Charging (充电) an electric ear is cheaper than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas," said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car from BAIC this year. However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging stations and the cars can't go far before needing to be recharged.
Some of these problems are being solved. 1 There are more than 2.6 million charging stations in total.
Developing EVs is one of many efforts China has made to protect the environment."As China goes, so will the world's auto industry," the Wall Street Journal said.

C. Among them, China is taking a leading role.
D. People can not only go green but also save money.

On May 15, Zhang Rongqiao wiped(抹掉) tears from his eyes as China's Mars rover(巡视器) Zhurong landed safely on Mars."I was so excited," said Zhang.
As the chief designer of China's Tianwen 1 Mars mission(任务), Zhang was chosen by the
magazine Nature on Dec 16 as one of the top 10 people"who helped shape science"in 2021.Under Zhang, China made a huge step in interplanetary(行星间的)exploration."I got a taste of the old
Chinese saying — it takes 10 years to sharpen a good sword," Zhang told Nature.
In the Mars mission, Zhang led a team of thousands of researchers. The team worked not only on technical work like launches and flight control, but also on scientific research on Mars.
The challenges were many. They knew little about the strange and complex(复杂的)environment of Mars."We may not even know what we do not know about," Zhang told Nature.
During the process, Zhang played a key part in the decision to send an orbiter(轨道飞行器),a lander(着陆器) and a rover to Mars together at a time — making China the first country to do so.
"That's a big leap(飞跃) because China is doing in a single go what NASA took tens of years to do," said Roberto Orosei from the Institute of Radioastronomy of Balogna in Italy.
Zhang also made the important decision to land the rover on Utopia Planitia, where there are special landscapes for scientists to study. He hopes that the mission can do as much research as. possible and bring back"rich"information.
"The buck stops with him(他敢作敢当),"said David Flannery, an astrobiologist(天体生物学家) at Queensland University of Technology in Australia.

Buck could not read the newspapers. So he did not know that there was trouble ahead. The trouble was for every dog with strong muscles(肌肉)and warm long hair, from Seattle to southern California. Some men had found a yellow metal (金属)in the Arctic darkness, and thousands of other men werc rushing there. Those men wanted dogs that were heavy with srong muscles for working hard and furry coats to protect them from the cold.
-Buck lived at a big house in a sunny valley in Califonia which was owned by Judge Miller. And Buck ruled over it all. He was born there, and had lived there for the four years of his life. There were many other dogs, but they lived together in the Kennels (狗窝), or inside the house. But Buck was neither a house dog nor a kennel dog. The whole of Judge Miller's lands was his. Buck was king-king over all the crawling, flying things of Judge Miller's lands, humans included.
His father, Elmo, a huge St Bernard, had been Judge Miller's inseparab(不可分离的)companion. And when he died, Buck took his father's place. He was not so large—he weighed only sixty kilograms—for his mother, Shen, had been a Scottish sheepdog. He had had a good life and he was proud of himself, for he had not become a house dog. Hunting and other outdoor activities had hardened his muscles, and swimming had made him healthy.
This was Buck in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike brought men from everywhere to the frozen north. But Buck couldn't read the newspapers. And he did not know that Manuel, one of the gardener's helpers, was not a good man. Manuel gambled (赌博)and wasted the little money he had. And one time when Judge Miller was away on business, and his sons were busy with an athletics(竞技)club, Manuel did something terrible. No one saw him and Buck go off on what Buck thought was a walk. No one saw them arrive at the railway station, where Manuel sold Buck to a man who was waiting for him.
Manuel put a rope round Buck's neck, under his collar. Buck accepted this because he knew Manuel, but when the rope was given to another man, he growled (发出低吠声) dangerously, And when the rope was tightened round neck, he started to choke (窒息)and jumped at the man in anger. The man fought him off and forced Buck to lie on his back, and tightened the rope even more. Buck
had never been treated so badly in his life, and he had never been so angry. But then his strength
drained(消耗)away and he soon became unconscious(失去意识的).He was still unconscious when the train arrived and the two men threw him into the baggage car.
