21、Attention People of Earth:
Fine. The big secret is out. A bunch of your finest scientists have cracked the case and discovered there is life tens of millions of miles away—here, on the beautiful planet of Venus. Yeah, no duh. Congrats on the big reveal. We have a polite request: Stay away.
We’re serious. We’re not interested. No missions to Venus, no exploratory spacecraft, no sleepovers. That goes for your space-crazed billionaires as well as your governments. If we wake up one morning and look out and see Bezos, Musk and Branson wandering around in bespoke spacesuits, we’re going to be really ticked off.
We mean no harm. We’re actually a very nice planet. It’s just that we’re not terribly impressed by what you’ve got going on down there. Earth looks like a mess. You’ve got health crises, environmental crises, political crises. You keep fighting about face masks. You haven’t figured out how to deliver french fries without having them get soggy and disgusting. No wonder so many of you want to abandon Earth for another planet.
Leave us alone. Keep right where you are.
We know you’d like it here. That’s what scares us. You’d all move to Venus in an instant. We’ve got beautiful weather (800 degrees Fahrenheit, like August in Scottsdale), light traffic, anaffordable cost of living. On Venus, you can buy a three-bedroom for, like, $135,000. That’s with a two-car garage and outdoor space.
But we live in a fragile solar system. We can only handle so much. If we start having you all up here, pretty soon, the Martians and Jupiterians are going to want to come, too. In the meantime, cool your enthusiasm. Tell Elon, Jeff and Sir Richard to settle down and stick to cars, books and planes. We’re not your escape plan. Venus is not Earth 2.
We wish you the best in figuring it out. We have every faith you can save your planet. If not, try Pluto. They’re pretty lonely and bored out there.
Sincerely,
Venus

In many Asian cultures , the elders of the family are respected for their wisdom; In both traditional and modern families, elders are taken care of and looked up to by the rest of the family. 【4】 . Even in the modern households, many grandparents live with their children.

23、I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loan we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.
And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.
But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)
My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.
Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.
【1】The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.
A. most families chose to go car-free B. the cost of a new car was too much
C. he was hurt in a terrible car accident D. the traffic jam was unbearable for him
【2】What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?
A. Disapproving. B. Supportive. C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned.
【3】What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?
A. Argue against it. B. Take their advice. C. Leave it alone. D. Think it over.
【4】What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?
A. Life cannot go without a car. B. Life without a car is a little bit hard.
C. His life gets improved without a car. D. A car-free life does not suit everyone.
