On a hot day，many people like to go to the beach.Some beaches，however，are not safe for swimming.

Since NASA's Viking Task tested Martian soil back in the 1970s，we've known that Mars （火星） is covered with a desert—harmful to life as we know it.But since tasks to Mars paid attention to what lies under the desert，a different picture has started to appear.

    This discovery of water under the Mars' South Pole is the result of radar echoes （雷达回波） that were picked up by an instrument on a spaceship that's been moving around Mars for 15 years.To stay liquid （液体） under the long﹣frozen desert of Mars，the researchers say this lake must have a lot of salts mixed in it.

    It is very cold and saltiness would make it a very hard environment for any living thing.But the lead researcher，Professor Roberto Orosei from the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics，said it was not impossible for things to live there.

    To search for life in this newly discovered lake，scientists will need to send a robot that's able to make a hole through the mile of ice covering it.But at least the teams looking for life on Mars will now know where to start their search.

正确的写"T"，错误的写"F"。

（1）NASA's Viking Task found water in the 1970s.

（2）The researchers believe there must be lots of salts in the underground lake.

Do you know what a resolution is？It's a kind of promise.Most of the time，we make promises to other people （"Mom，I promise I'm going to tidy my room when I get back from school."） However，promises you make to yourself are resolutions，and the most common kind is New Year's resolutions.The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions，When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year，we hope that we are going to improve our lives.Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year.This helps them to remember their resolutions.Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.

    There are different kinds of resolutions.Some are about physical health.For example，some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food.Many resolutions have to do with self﹣improvement.These are about making yourself a better person.Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos，or learn to play the guitar.Some resolutions have to do with better planning，like making a weekly plan for schoolwork.For example，a student may have to find more time to study.

    Although there are differences，most resolutions have one thing in common.People hardly ever keep them!There are good reasons for this.Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep.Sometimes people just forget about them.For this reason，some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions!How about you﹣will you make any next year？

   These days，Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after﹣school classes.Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university.Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win.However，this doesn't only happen in China.

   The Taylors are a typical American family.Life for Cathy Taylor's three children is very busy. "On most days after school，" Cathy says， "I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training.Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons.Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities，but I believe these activities are important for my children's future.I really want them to be successful.However，the tired children don't get home until after 7：00 p.m.They have a quick dinner，and then it's time for homework.

   Linda Miller，a mother of three，knows all about such stress. "In some families，competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older，" she says. "Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes.And they are always comparing them with other children.It's crazy.I don't think that's fair.Why don't they just let their kids be kids？People shouldn't push their kids so hard."

   Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child's development.Dr.Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. "Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves，too.Although it's normal to want successful children，it's even more important to have happy children."

（1）What's the common problem for Chinese and American families？

（2）What's Cathy Taylor's idea about so many after﹣school activities？

（3）What does Linda Miller think about after﹣school activities？

（4）What's Dr.Alice Green's opinion about afterschool activities？
