25、  

After people have been used to their new work situation. But what if your job was to control a multi-billion-dollar space rover (探测车) located on a planet nearly 200 million km away from Earth?

A team of NASA scientists is doing just that. In order to follow social distancing rules, these scientists have had to work from home. But they’ve still found ways to work together and take care of the complex (复杂的) tasks that are needed to keep the Curiosity rover working on Mars.

Their work-from-home setups (装配) as seen in photos provided to CNBC and ScienceAlert, look much like home office setups. They use ordinary computers. But instead of working on spreadsheets (电子制表), these scientists are programming complex sequences (序列) of instructions that are then sent to the rover. These instructions allowed the rover to find a rock sample (样本) in a location on Mars called “Edinburgh”.

Usually, the team’s 20 scientists work together by communicating through apps or video meetings. One scientist might have to follow 15 message channels (通道) at once.

NASA gave the scientists headsets (耳机) monitors and other equipment to allow them to do their jobs from home. However, the goggles (眼镜) they usually use to analyze (分析) pictures from Mars could not be sent out. So they have to depend on red-and-blue glass lenses (镜片) instead.

But difficulties like these have not been a problem for the scientists. In fact, getting used to changing situations is “classic, textbook NASA,” according to the head of science operations Carrie Bridge. “We’re presented with a problem and we find out how to make things work. Mars isn’t standing still for us; we’re still exploring,” she said.

【1】During the outbreak, NASA scientists ________.

A.use different computers to work

B.work on spreadsheets

C.are making Curiosity rover work from home

【2】Working at home is not convenient for NASA scientists because ________.

A.they have to use red-and-blue glass lenses

B.they cannot communicate person to person

C.they don’t have the equipment to do their jobs

【3】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the article?

A.Mars is nearly 200 million km away from Earth.

B.One scientist might have to contact with several other scientists at the same time.

C.NASA scientists can’t work together.

【4】How do we understand “classic, textbook NASA” in the last paragraph?

A.NASA wrote a textbook on how to deal with problems.

B.NASA always finds ways to deal with new situations.

C.Difficulties are uncommon for NASA.

【5】What is the story mainly about?

A.NASA’s project on Mars.

B.The problems NASA faces.

C.How NASA scientists work at home.

26、   An elderly carpenter (木匠) was ready to retire (退休).He told his boss of his plans to leave the house business and live a more comfortable life with his wife enjoying his big family, looking after their grandchildren. He would miss the paycheck (薪金), but he really needed to retire. The boss was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter agreed, but this time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He used bad materials and worked carelessly. It was an unlucky way to end his career. When the man finished his work and the boss came to check the house, he handed the front door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said. "My gift to you." What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he has to live in the home he had built sadly.

So it is with us. We build our lives in an absent-minded way, willing to do less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shame, we fall into the situation we have created and find we are now living in the "house" we have built.

【1】The elderly carpenter planned to live a more comfortable life alone.

【2】The boss asked the man to build just one more house as a personal favor.

【3】The man agreed with the boss, he used the good materials and worked carefully.

【4】After checking the house, the boss didn't give it to the man as a gift.

【5】From the story, we learn your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past.

27、   You must have remembered the story from your childhood: an old man was worried about his sons who were always quarreling(吵架) among themselves. In order to teach them a lesson, he asked them to break a bundle(捆) of sticks tied together. Clearly, none of them could. And when the bundle was untied, they were able to break each stick easily enough. Why? This is because of the power of unity(团结).

The power of unity is known to all of us. But we often seem to forget it when it comes to individual(个体的) success. Most of us consider our success as a personal thing, and it has nothing to do with others.

Dr. John Maxwell, in his book Success Journey says that success is not a trip that you take alone. But it is something that you take with your family and your friends. Think about it—if at the end of all the achievements, you find yourself alone, will you call it success in a real sense?

Your dream and your success do not belong to you alone. Even though you work hard towards your dream, there are people who are working behind to make sure that you are able to give you a hundred percent. For example, you are studying in school so that you can have good education; your parents are working hard to pay for the cost and provide something you need for you.

Do you think that it is possible without unity? Don’t you feel that these people are doing their best so that you can be successful? And so, unity plays an important role, even if you are talking about your personal success. So, it is your responsibility(责任) to maintain unity if you really want to be successful in life. Only if you always treat things and people in your life seriously, will you succeed because all the things and people around you have connections in some way.

A.He would use the sticks for cooking. B.He decided to teach them a lesson.

C.He wanted to give them a punishment. D.He didn’t know what to do with his sons.

【2】According to John Maxwell’s book, ________.

A.everyone can succeed by themselves
