21、   “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” It’s a famous sentence from US president John F. Kennedy’s speech in 1961.

Mark Zuckerberg, who set up (创立) social network site Facebook, must agree with Kennedy. The 35-year-old American raised $100 million for the public schools in New Jersey, US.

Who is this young billionaire? How did he make his fortune (财富)?

Zuckerberg was a computer geek (天才) at Harvard University. As a second-year student, he set up a website to put the “face books” — photos of incoming first-year student —online. The website, where people were able to share personal information, was a success at once.

Zuckerberg first opened Facebook to high school students and then to everyone. Soon it became a part of American life. Now Facebook is the most popular site in the world with 600 million users. If Facebook were a country, it would be the world’s third largest.

“I could have never imagined all of the ways people would use Facebook when we were getting started six years ago,” Zuckerberg wrote in his blog.

Zuckerberg’s dream is to make the Internet a more connected place. That task could help Facebook make money: The more people share information about themselves online, the more money Facebook will make selling advertising.

Yet the billionaire keeps his own life out of the public eye. At the company, he sits among a sea of desks like hundreds of workers. A visitor to Facebook might not even recognize Zuckerberg in T-shirt and jeans. He usually takes one two-week vacation each year with his wife Priscilla Chan, who was once a Chinese American student at Harvard. On the weekends, he roasts pig in his garden for friends and takes Mandarin (普通话) lessons.

The Social Network, a movie based on Zuckerberg’s story, was among popular films of Year 2010.

【1】At the very beginning, Mark Zuckerberg set up the website in order to ________.

A.communicate with more people B.make a lot of money

A.Harvard University B.the public schools in New Jersey

24、Researchers said they had found out that there was once an ancient fresh water lake on Mars that might have been able to support life.

A team of researchers from the US Curiosity Rover Mission, analyzed (分析) some mudstone and fine-grained sediment (细粒沉积物) which can tell us that there was at least one lake around 3.6 billion years ago.

The team said their analysis showed that the lake was calm and likely had fresh water, including key biological elements, such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur (硫磺). Theoretically, such a lake would provide perfect conditions for simple living things.

The findings were published in the US Journal Science and presented at the American Geophysical Union’s fall meeting in San Francisco. “It is important to note that we have not found signs of ancient life on Mars. What we have found is that there once existed a lake on its surface which might make it possible for some simple living things to live billions of years ago,” Professor Sanjeev Gupta said in a statement. Gupta described the new research as “a huge positive step” for the exploration of Mars.

In previous studies, scientists found evidence of water on Mars’ surface in other rocks. However, the new research provides the strongest evidence yet that Mars could have been habitable enough for life to continue.

【1】Researchers have found evidence that an ancient fresh water lake probably existed on ________.

A．the Earth

B．Venus

C．Mars

D．the Moon

【2】The following biological elements EXCEPT ________ have been found on Mars according to the analysis.

A．oxygen

B．nitrogen

C．hydrogen

D．carbon dioxide

【3】The underlined word “habitable” in the last paragraph probably means “________” in Chinese.

A．可居住的

B．无法生存的

C．习惯的

D．不可能的

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The researchers thought it impossible for a fresh water lake to exist on Mars.

B．Gupta thought of the new research as “a huge positive step” for the exploration of Mars.

C．Researchers have taken great efforts to find signs of ancient life on Mars.

D．The findings about the fresh water lake haven’t been published in the US Journal Science.

【5】On which column of a book can you find this passage?

A．Science.

B．Travelling.

C．Life.

D．Education.

【6】What is the passage mainly about?

A．How did the fresh water lake disappear on Mars?
