    　　My name is Clara．I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class．I'd finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine．A piece of news caught my eye：NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover(火星探测器)．Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind, Curiosity．

    　　I couldn't want for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay．That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached．“Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone's mind…”

    　　Five months later, my mon received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face．

    　　On August 5, 2012, at 10∶31 p．m, the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA．

    　　Curiosity is such an important part of who I am．I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe．I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours．She'd tell me stories and point out the stars, Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart．They were always there, yet there was so much I didn't know about them．That's what I love so much about space．

    　　People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mares．My answer is simple because we’re curious．We human beings do not just hole up in one place．We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what's over the hill and beyond the horizon．

    1．How did Clara get the new about the essay contest?(no more than 10 words)

    2．Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA?(no more than 10 words)

    3．What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma?(no more than 15 words)

    　　Or：“Curiosity” was chosen as the name of the Mars rover

    　　3．She sat together with Grandma listening to her stories about the stars

    　　Or：Her grandma told her stories about the stars

    　　Or：They sat together talking about the stars．

    　　4．Stay/Remain/Live/Hide

    　　5．Curiosity is important because it leads to discovery or invention．

    Dear Helpful,

    　　I'm a Senior Three students and I'm in trouble. I used to like English, but now I have some difficulty in English, especially in English writing. Though I know English is a very important subject, I think now it is too difficult for me. You know I have got poor results in English many times because my writing is poor. I wonder why so many students like English and can get good results in English. I do want to be one of the best students and go to a famous university after graduation. But my English is not good enough. What should I do?

    Yours,

    Worried

    　　[1]Have you ever been offered an alcoholic drink? What about someone's saying “Don’t worry, just have one little sip”? Most people have their first drink by the time they’re 13．That first drink can be the start of a troubled life．

    　　[2]Drink can make teens feel good, but that feeling lasts only a short time．Alcohol clouds your brain and hinders your ability to make decisions．Excessive drinking literally makes your brain shrink and can cause serious damage．Over-drinking can cause learning disabilities and damage your memory．It distorts your vision and leads to blackouts．Teenagers often think that drinking will give them more energy, but alcohol isn’t an energy drink－it’s a depressant(镇静剂)

    　　[4]When we get to high school, friends start pressurising us to drink．High school students see alcohol as glamorous and a way to become popular．I conducted a survey at my school．24 of the 63 respondents predicted they would drink in high school．11 said maybe, and 28 said they didn’t plan on drinking．

    　　[5]Regardless of what they say now, things can change．Teens starting high school want to fit in．They think that one drink won’t do anything harmful．A little bit of alcohol probably won’t kill you, but it can lead to poor decisions．High school is the time to experiment with what you want to do in life, but if you’re experimenting with alcohol you could hurt someone, including yourself．
