26、If Mars were the popular kid in school, Venus（金星）would be the unwelcome one sitting in the corner, largely ignored. Venus has nearly the same mass and size as Earth, but being closer to the sun, it gets nearly twice as much heat from the sun.

However, instead of having a climate that is just a warmer version of Earth’s, Venus’s surface and atmosphere are unbearable: clouds of sulphuric acid (硫酸) blanket the planet, while at ground level, it is hot enough to melt lead. Despite this, there is now a sign that Venus may harbour life.

Jane Greaves at Cardiff University, UK, and her colleagues recently detected phosphine (磷化氢)in Venus’s atmosphere, with one potential explanation that it is the by-product of biology. That is because the only way this gas is made on Earth is in laboratories or by microbes (微生物). Though this doesn't mean it was produced by life on Venus, attempts to find non-biological explanations for its presence have so far failed.

Our best way of confirming or rejecting the possibility of life on Venus is to go and have a proper look. While Mars has been the focus of interplanetary exploration efforts lately, the phosphine discovery lets people look at Venus in a new light. As NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine tweeted: “It’s time to prioritize Venus.”

In the months and years to come, computer simulations will be used to further study the possible chemistries of the atmosphere on Venus. More laboratory experiments will be conducted to try to identify other ways the phosphine there could be produced. However, there is no guarantee that these efforts will reveal the true nature of this substance on Venus. A newly-proposed strategy is to directly sample the atmosphere and surface of Venus. By doing so, we would be able to take direct measurements of phosphine.

The discovery of phosphine in Venus's atmosphere is a great accomplishment. The scientific efforts may be just what we need to finally refocus on this neglected world. Possibly, the quiet kid in the corner may get the last laugh.

【1】Which description about Venus is not true?

A．It is almost as large as Earth.

B．It has nearly the same mass as Earth.

C．It has a warmer Earth-like climate.

D．It has the unbearable surface and atmosphere.

【2】What can the discovery of phosphine on Venus indicate?

A．This kind of gas is very common.

B．There might exist signs of life.

C．Many products can be made with it.

D．Experiments were once conducted there.

【3】What is paragraph 5 mainly about?

A．The approaches to exploring phosphine.

B．The importance of observations.

C．The power of computer simulations.

D．The necessity to analyse phosphine.

【4】Which can best describe the author’s attitude to the exploration of Venus?

D．Doubtful.

27、How to Respond when Someone Judges You

Dealing with judgment from other people can be tough, especially when it’s coming from a friend, family member, or colleague. Judgmental people are unavoidable, but you can easily deal with their criticism using positivity and compassion.

Rid yourself of the judgment. Remember that a judgmental person’s words are a reflection of their own beliefs-and not yours. Critical people criticize themselves more than anyone else. 【1】.

Be sympathetic. Practice sympathy to understand the source of this person’s judgment. It could be that they were judged by parents, family, or friends, in which case this person’s critical attitude would be something they learned(and not necessarily intentional). While that doesn’t excuse their behavior, having sympathy can inform your response. Say things like “【2】,” or “I see where you’re coming from, but…” when you respond to someone’s judgment.

Ask for clarification. 【3】. Ask this person to explain what they said, and find out their motivation for saying it. You could ask then, “What are you trying to say? If you have constructive criticism, I’m open to hearing it.” That way, you’re giving the other person a gentle reminder to phrase their words constructively.

【4】. Be polite but firm when you call out judgmental people. If somebody crosses a line and makes you feel criticized, tell them how you feel. If someone is giving you criticism you didn’t ask for, you could say, “【5】, and I have a plan that works for me.”

A．Stop talking like this

B．Set boundaries in the conversation

C．I understand why you feel that way

D．I feel like I need to deal with this in my way

E．I know you want to talk but this is a sensitive subject for me

F．Judgmental people may not know they’re being rude or unreasonable

G．So the judgment they pass isn’t actually about you, though it can feel personal

28、It would be easy to believe that Mother’s Day was created by a greeting card company. After all, the day is celebrated with special sales and brunches, lots of presents and massive advertising campaigns. But the day was actually conceived more than a century ago by Anna Jarvis of West Virginia as a way of honoring the sacrifices mothers made for their children.

Jarvis’s mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, helped start “Mothers’ Day Work Clubs,” teaching women how to care for their children. During the Civil War, she organized “Mothers’ Friendship Day,” where mothers of Union and Confederate soldiers met to try to promote harmony. The younger Jarvis Was inspired by all the things her mother had accomplished with her social work.

When Jarvis was young, she overheard her mother praying, “I hope and pray that someone, sometime, will find a memorial mother’s day honoring her for the matchless service she offers to humanity in every field of life.” When her mom died in 1905, Jarvis looked through all the sympathy cards she received. She underlined all the kind words that praised her mother, reading them over and over. The outpouring of kindness for her mother inspired her to create a day to honor all mothers.

The white carnation was her mother’s favorite flower, so it became the symbol for the day. She said it symbolized the truth, purity and charity of a mother’s love. Her idea of celebrating Mother’s Day was wearing a carnation while visiting your mother or maybe going to church together. Children were also encouraged to write letters to their mothers, sharing the depths of their appreciation.

The first official Mother’s Day events were held on May 10. 1908, at the church where her mother taught Sunday School in Grafton, West Virginia, and at the Wanamaker’s department store auditorium（礼堂）in Philadelphia. Jarvis didn’t attend the event in Grafton, but she sent 500 white carnations.

【1】What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “conceived” in paragraph 1?

A．Thought up

B．Figured out.

C．Found out.

D．Believed in.

【2】What do we know about Jarvis’s mother?

A．She created Mother’s Day.

B．She was active in social work.

C．She joined in the American Civil War.

D．She taught Jarvis how to care for children.

【3】How did Jarvis advise children to celebrate Mother’s Day?

A．Pray for their mother’s happiness.

B．Send some flowers to their mothers.

C．Write a letter to thank their mothers.

D．Accompany their mothers to the celebration.

【4】Which can be the best title of this text?

A．A Memorable Mother

B．Carnation and Mother’s Day

C．The Greatness of a Mother

D．The Founding of Mother’s Day

29、   On today’s program we talk about the word “field.” But which one? There are many different kinds of fields.

First, we will talk about fields in which you can work. A common question when you first meet someone in the States is, “What field do you work in?” or simply “What is your field?” Work fields are usually general. For example, if you are a doctor you would answer that you work in the medical field. A lawyer is in the legal field. And a marketing specialist’s field is business.

Now, another kind of field is also outside but we use this one for sports activities. And this type of field has led to several common expressions.

A level playing field is when the conditions of competition are fair or even. Everyone has the same shot at winning. This expression comes from the fact that for a sports field to be fair, it must be the same for both teams. It would be unfair if one team had to play on a rocky part of a field while the other team played on smooth ground.

Maybe you have heard of this expression before or maybe it came out of left field. “To come out of left field” or simply “out of left field” is another baseball term. It means something is a surprise to you. You were not expecting it at all! Other times it can describe something strange or odd.

I hope you have enjoyed today’s show on field expressions.

【1】According to Paragraph 2, who works in the news field?

A. A reporter. B. A lawyer.

C. A teacher. D. A doctor.

【2】How many kinds of fields are mentioned in the passage?

A. One. B. Two.

C. Three. D. Four.

【3】What does the underlined word “even” in paragraph 4 mean?

A. Equally balanced. B. Calm.

C. Equally spaced. D. Smooth.
