　　Scientists at the California Institute of Technology have reported evidence that Mars was warmer and wetter long ago than it is today．They say they have directly established(证实)the temperature of Mars four billion years ago．

　　The scientists say carbonate minerals(碳酸盐矿物)formed on Mars at about 18℃．They reached the finding after studying a meteorite(陨星)that had its beginnings near the Martian surface．Today, the average temperature on Mars is-63℃．

　　The finding was reported on the website of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences．Assistant Professor Woody says 18°C is not especially cold or hot．He says this makes the finding extremely interesting．Knowing the temperature can give scientists an idea of the climate on Mars long ago．It can also help them decide whether the planet had water．

　　Geology Professor John was another writer of the report．He says knowing the temperature of Mars from long ago provides valuable information．It shows that early in the planet's history, at least part of Mars could support a climate like that of Earth．

　　Is there anyone you hate? Well, maybe you don't really hate them．But you get really angry every time you think of them．If you don't let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness(痛苦)．

　　Bitterness appears when we can't forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry．Someone might say or do something that hurts us．But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside．Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow．We may think we're hurting that person by criticizing him or her often, but we're really only hurting ourselves．

　　Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationship with friends and family members．No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long．

　　If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it．

　　·Accept it

　　Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it．See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it．

　　·Stop making excuses for it

　　You may feel you have a right to be angry．You may think you are right and the other person is wrong．You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad．But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person．The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life．

　　·Forgive and forget it

　　You probably can't completely put the anger out of your mind．But you can decide to forgive the other person．Forget it and move on．You'll enjoy better health and peace of mind．

　　ON April 10, 1912, the Titanic started her first trip from Southampton, England, to New York City, US．The ship was the world's largest and most luxurious(豪华的)one at that time．

　　High-class facilities(设备)for passengers including restaurants, a library and a swimming pool made the ship like a floating hotel．More importantly, its owners and builders said it was unsinkable(不会下沉的)．

　　However, on April 15, the ship sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and killed over 1, 500 people．

　　This April 15, on the 100th anniversary(周年纪念)of the sinking of the Titanic, people in the UK and US will hold activities to remember the event．James Cameron's 1997 film, Titanic, was a huge hit all around the world．Now the 3-D film will come to Chinese theaters on April 10．It is a love story between a poor young man named Jack and a rich young woman named Rose on the unlucky ship．In Belfast, UK, the port of the Titanic's birth, a museum called Titanic Belfast will open to the public．

　　Today, the sinking of the Titanic is not just an accident．It has become a popular expression to mean a large disaster or mistake, usually because of too much confidence．

　　In the UK, if somebody says that his or her mobile phone is really great and could never break, others might say, “Yeah, and people said the Titanic was unsinkable．” In other words, no matter how confident or proud people are about something, anything can go wrong．

　　One day, when I arrived at school, an ice cream truck was parked in the schoolyard．Ice cream men usually drove their trucks to primary schools．I had never thought one ice cream truck would come to bring ice cream to us older kids．When I went up to the truck, I was quite surprised to hear the man call out, “Free ice cream! ” To make sure of his words, I asked, “I'm sorry, what did you say? ” “Free ice cream．Choose whichever you like．” he said smiling．

　　After I was certain that the man was just giving away the ice cream, I talked with him for a long time．He told me that his dream had always been to travel around giving away ice cream, and that's what he was now doing．With his mother's support, he kept doing what he loved even during hard times．Now, however, some large companies are helping him his plan．

　　The man said he wanted to encourage people to do exactly what their heart told them to do with their lives．I kept asking him, “So your dream was just to drive around and give away ice cream? It seems like a very unusual goal．” “Yes, just meeting people and making them smile, ” he replied．At that point he handed me my ice cream．I thanked him, but what I got from him was much more than just an ice cream．It can't easily be expressed in words．I believe what he was doing is exactly what great people do all the time：small acts of big love．
