26、If Mars were the popular kid in school, Venus (金星) would be the unwelcome one sitting in the corner, largely ignored. Venus has nearly the same mass and size as Earth, but being closer to the sun, it gets nearly twice as much heat from the sun.
However, instead of having a climate that is just a warmer version of Earth’s, Venus’s surface and atmosphere are unbearable: clouds of sulphuric acid (硫酸) blanket the planet, while at ground level, it is hot enough to melt lead. Despite this, there is now a sign that Venus may harbour life. Jane Greaves at Cardiff University, UK, and her colleagues recently detected (发现) phosphine (磷化氢) in Venus’s atmosphere, with one potential explanation that it is the by-product of biology. That is because the only way this gas is made on Earth is in laboratories or by microbes (微生物). Though this doesn’t mean it was produced by life on Venus, attempts to find non-biological explanations for its presence have so far failed. Our best way of confirming or rejecting the possibility of life on Venus is to go and have a proper look. While Mars has been the focus of interplanetary (行星间的) exploration efforts lately, the phosphine discovery lets people look at Venus in a new light. As NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine tweeted: “It’s time to prioritize Venus.”
In the months and years to come, computer simulations(模拟) will be used to further study the possible chemistries of the atmosphere on Venus. More laboratory experiments will be conducted to try to identify other ways the phosphine there could be produced. However, there is no guarantee that these efforts will reveal the true nature of this substance on Venus. A newly-proposed strategy is to directly sample the atmosphere and surface of Venus. By doing so, we would be able to take direct measurements of phosphine.
The discovery of phosphine in Venus’s atmosphere is a great accomplishment. The scientific efforts may be just what we need to finally refocus on this neglected world. Possibly, the quiet kid in the corner may get the last laugh

28、When Cath Pirret and her husband Iain took their daughters Jessie, 10, and Holly, 7, to Britain earlier this year, it was a trip that was all about showing the girls where their parents grew up. But there were also some key sightseeing opportunities, such as Stonehenge, Hadrian’s Wall and Tate Modern, before heading to Paris to see the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo.
So, what did the couple from Melbourne hope their girls would get from the trip? "A greater understanding that travel is not a difficult thing to do," Cath says."Some of the highlights are to meet new people and adapt to lots of different situations."
Cath believes that children, in order to truly benefit from travel, need to be old enough to understand and appreciate the experience. Sydney-based ABC Radio broadcaster and film critic C.J. Johnson travelled a lot with his parents as a child. His father was "really into rivers" and decided he was going to make it the "family mission" to see the "seven great rivers of the world".
There’s no doubt, thanks to a richer society and the greater ease and access to all forms of travel, that few — if any — generations of parents and children have ever had the ability to journey together as far, as wide and as deep as the present one.Travel brings history to life, builds children’s independence and opens their minds. A child’s view also helps adults to see the world through new eyes.
For Keith Bellows, the award-winning editor-in-chief of the American National Geographic Traveler magazine says the world is simply"the greatest classroom we have". He’s convinced, like Spicer, that any parent willing and financially able to give the gift of travel offers a gift that keeps on giving.
"Children who learn to travel will travel to learn," he says. "And they will do it all their lives."
With that in mind, Bellows, a father of three, wrote a book, 100 Places that Can Change Your Child’s Life.
【1】Why did the couple take their daughters to Britain?
A.To prove their parents grew up in a rich country.
B.To meet the friends and relatives in Britain.
C.To help them enjoy their wonderful holidays.
D.To assist them to get benefit from travelling.
【2】The couple and their kids .
A.went to see the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo first
B.visited Hadrian’s Wall and Tate Modern in France
C.first stayed in Britain and then went to France
D.only preferred to have the key sightseeing trips
【3】When Johnson was a child, .
A.he made a decision to see the greatest rivers
B.he fully understood his family mission
C.he was forced to keep his father company
D.he learned a lot and developed a broad outlook
【4】Now many children can travel around the world .
A.because they are lucky to have good parents
B.because they were just born in rich families
C.because they are living in a prosperous society
D.because they are longing for new knowledge
【5】We can learn from the passage that .
A.children who learn to travel will travel to learn
B.Keith Bellows objects to taking children to travel
C.children will purchase gifts for their parents
D.Keith Bellows is managing a famous TV show
29、Would you like to do something to help make our city a better place to live in? Why not take part in “Clean & Green weekend”? Join us, and you can make new friends and help protect the environment at the same time.
Park Life
Do you like playing and relaxing in the park with your friends? If so, why not take the chance to come with us and tidy up the park when you go? To add some fun, there is a gift for the person who collects the most rubbish! Meet us at the south entrance to Taohe Park at 9 a. m. next Saturday if you want to join in.

30、As a teenager, I was pretty lazy when it came to doing things for my family. I worked hard at school, and sometimes looked after my younger sister. Still, I found myself regularly unwilling to ________ out at home with even the simplest things.
Every Wednesday afternoon, for example, my mother ________ me to another town for a piano lesson. During my two-hour lesson, she’d rush to the nearby store and buy a week’s worth of ________. Given the fact that my mom had driven me twelve miles there, twelve miles back, ________ for my lesson, and bought me a candy bar, you’d think I’d be very ________ to help her bring the groceries into the house. But I wasn’t. I generally just brought in an arm-load and left the ________ for Mom as I ran to my room, shut the door, and started studying.
Don’t get me wrong: even back in my room, I felt ________ about not helping my mother more. Deep inside, I wanted to change my ________. But I also realized that once I did change, there’d be no going back. Once I took on more responsibility; my parents would start ________ more of me. At age fifteen, I sensed that this one small change would ________ something much bigger: my personal change from a cared-for, spoiled (被宠坏的) child to a more ________, caring and giving young man.
I’ll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n) ________ to jump in and see what happened. Returning home from the lesson, I disappeared into my room, as usual. But once inside, I felt that deep and burning ________. Throwing my school books on the bed, I suddenly opened my door and headed back to the garage to help my mother. How happy I felt that day!
Surely, over time, I continued to help out with more housework. The neat thing was, the more I helped out, the better I felt about myself and my place in my family. As Mom and Dad realized they could ________ on me more, our trips became far less stressful, too. In short, it was a win-win situation for everyone.
Sometimes the little things we put off doing the longest ________ out to be the simplest things to complete. And feeling happy beats feeling guilty any day.
