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.

   

(3)It's possible that there are living things in the newly discovered lake.

Everything is made of something.Nothing is made of nothing.

Chemistry is about the smallest things that other bigger things are made of,and what happens when theychange.The word chemistry comes from chemical,which is an example of one type of the very small things that other bigger things are made of.The words you are reading now are made of a dark liquid called ink (墨水),which is written on paper.The paper itself is made out of the chemicals that wood is made out of.Both the ink and the paper were made by different chemical processes.A chemical process is what happens when chemicals come together to make other chemicals,and therefore other things.

You can smell the chemical changes,too,as they go up into your nose,especially when you forget about your sauce and it doesn't just cook but bums and becomes black and has a really bad flavor.You can't make it better,either,because once chemicals change,they can't be changed back again.

A Friend to the Pilgrims

"I speak English." When the Pilgrims (清教徒前辈美洲移民) heard these words,they were very surprised.The words came from Squanto,a Native American (印第安人).But how did he learn to speak English?As the Pilgrims would soon find out,this happened to be a long story.

In 1605,George Weymouth,an English captain (船长),was exploring America.People from England were interested in the Native Americans of this new land.When Weymouth came to Squanto's village,he captured (俘获) five men.Squanto was not among them,but the little boy was curious (好奇的).He volunteered to go with Weymouth to England.

In England,a friend of Weymouth's took good care of Squanto.But after nine years,Squanto felt homesick.In 1614,two English captains,John Smith and Thomas Hunt,asked Squanto to help them explore America.They promised to take Squanto to his home village after the trip.Squanto was happy and agreed to go.But after the trip,Captain Hunt broke his promise.Instead of bringing Squanto to see his family,he sold him to Spain as a slave (奴隶).

In Spain,some monks (僧侣) saved Squanto and looked after him for three years.Then,he joined another trip to North America.The trip was to Newfoundland.This was still far from Squanto's home.Squanto returned to England in the end.

By now,Squanto had known many important men in England.They liked Squanto and wanted to help him.Finally,Squanto went back to his home village in 1619 with the help of them.But sadly,the village was empty.All of the villagers had died from an illness.

When the Pilgrims arrived in America in 1620,winter would soon come.They needed help.Squanto happened to be living close to their houses.He offered to help.Knowing the language and customs of Englishmen,Squanto helped the Pilgrims in many ways,including teaching them how to catch fish.The Pilgrims were really lucky to have such a good friend!

Which country grows the most tea?The answer is India.It grows three times as much as China.Which country drinks the most tea?It's neither China nor Japan.It's Great Britain.

In the wild,tea plants may be 9 meters tall.But a plant grown for market is pruned.Pruning keeps the plant only 0.9 or 1.2 meters tall.This is an easy height for tea picking.Only the two top leaves and bud(芽)of each new shoot are picked.So to make money,tea plantations (种植园) must be huge.

In general,there are two kinds of tea:black tea and green tea.Black tea is fermented (发酵).In the process,the tea loses nearly all of its healthy parts.Green tea is steamed (蒸) right after the leaves are picked.Green tea keeps its healthy parts.For example,it may prevent heart illness.

How did we get tea bags?The answer:by accident.Tea businessmen used to send samples(样品)in tin(锡)boxes.This was very expensive.One businessman thought of a cheaper way.He sent samples in small silk bags.Customers would open the bag.They would make tea as usual.One customer put the bag into a pot.Then he just poured hot water over it.And the tea bag was born.

Shen Nong was the first to drink tea.He was a Chinese emperor.This was about 2737 B.C.Shen drank several cups of hot water daily.One day something happened.Leaves from a wild tea tree fell into the hot water pot.The next cup was poured.The water was now colored.Shen tasted it.He liked it.He drank it all.Shen was proud of his new drink.He served it to his guests.Word spread.People thought this way:tea is good enough for the Emperor,so it must be good enough for the people.Tea became the drink of China.

Damaged parts will be taken away.Scientists could use human cells (细胞) to grow new organs.New technologies like this will also help people to live longer.Within forty years,most people will be able to live up to one hundred years.
