• 2．I was in a hurry. I came rushing through our dining room in my best suit，focused on getting ready for an evening meeting.Gillian，my four-year-old，was dancing about to one of her favorite oldies， "Cool，" from West Side Story.
     I was in a hurry，on the verge of being late.Yet a small voice inside me said， "Stop."
     So I stopped.I looked at her.I reached out，grabbed her hand and spun her around.My seven-year-old，Caitlin，came into our orbit，and I grabbed her，too.The three of us did a wild jitterbug （吉特巴舞） around the dining room and into the living room.We were laughing.We were spinning.Could the neighbors see our foolish act through the windows？It didn't matter.The song ended with a dramatic flourish （高潮） and our dance finished with it.I patted them on their bottoms and sent them to take their baths.
     They went up the stairs，gasping for breath，their giggles bouncing off the walls.I went back to business.I was bent over，putting papers into my briefcase when I overheard （偶然聽到） my youngest say to her sister， "Caitlin，isn't Mommy the bestest one？"
     I froze.How close I had come to hurrying through life，missing that moment.My mind went to the awards and diplomas that covered the walls of my office.No award，no achievement I have ever earned can match this：Isn't Mommy the bestest one？
     My child said that at age four.I don't expect her to say it at age 14.But at age 40，if she bends down over that pine box to say good-bye to the cast-off container of my soul，I want her to say it then.
     Isn't Mommy the bestest one？

• 3．Recently，a design student has developed an auto-mini robot —"A" seedbot that can search through vast deserts，sowing seeds when it finds a suitable area to plant a tree.
     The "A" seedbot，created by Mazyar Etehadi from the Dubai Institute of Design and Innovation，could be a new and creative way to transform deserts into greenery. "Planting trees in the desert area can keep the sand and protect the environment，" said Etehadi.It was launched at the Global Grad Show （GGS），an event that has designers come together to showcase innovations that could solve today's environmental issues.
     In an area where high temperatures are limiting to life，the importance of growing plants is crucial.Just eight inches long，the tiny robot is equipped with its own solar panels （太陽能板），allowing it to charge during the day and continue working through the night.It can operate all on its own，using its 3 D-printed legs to search for viable spots to plant a seed.In doing so，designers seek to understand how roots work and also to design sensors that might monitor soil pollution，prospect for minerals and look for water.
     The robot has a distance sensor that it uses to send reports back to its controller.The only time human needs to step in is to refill the robot with more seeds. "I think it was an easy solution to come up with，but no one had made it，and here comes my idea!It means a lot to the people who have been fighting against the deserts for generations，" said Etehadi.Going forward，he hopes his idea can be adopted by the government，the farming industry，and private individuals as a more efficient way to grow plants.
  
  （1）Why did Etehadi develop the "A" seedbot？

  
  A．To lower the temperature.
  B．To protect the trees.
  C．To turn the desert into greenery.
  D．To win the prize in the GGS.
  （2）What can we know about the "A" seedbot？

  
  A．It can work around the clock.
  B．It is powered by electricity.
  C．It monitors minerals and water.
  D．It can refill itself with seeds.
  （3）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "viable" in paragraph 3？

  
  A．Distant.
  B．Empty.
  C．Dry.
  D．Suitable.
  （4）What is the passage mainly about？

  
  A．A project for creation.
  B．A robot for sowing seeds.
  C．A student gifted in design.
  D．A proposal for environmental protection.

• 4．One of the crucial issues for mankind to solve before landing humans on Mars is that they must find usable water on the barren，reddish planet for the explorers to consume.
     A recent finding by Chinese scientists based on data obtained by China's Martian rover （探測(cè)器） Zhurong may have brought that goal closer to reality.
     According to data obtained by the rover，they have identified hydrated （含水的） materials at Zhurong's landing site in the southern part of an impact basin called Utopia Planitia. "These hydrated minerals are associated with bright-toned rocks and are interpreted to be duricrust （鋁鐵硅鈣殼） developed locally.The duricrusts suggest that formation with substantial liquid water originates by either groundwater rising or subsurface ice melting，" reads a paper published in the newest issue of the scientific journal Science Advances.
     Liu Yang，lead author of the paper，said their findings indicate that liquid water activities might have been more active than previously thought during the Amazonian Period，which began about 3 billion years ago and remains ongoing. "There is likely to be a large amount of usable water in hydrated minerals around the landing site of Zhurong as well as the vast areas in Mars' northern lowlands，" he added.
     Zhurong is the core component （核心部分） of Tianwen-1，the country's first inter-planetary mission，and is also the sixth rover on the Red Planet，following five from the United States.It is tasked with surveying Mars 'landforms，geological structures，soil characteristics，potential locations of water and ice，and atmospheric and environmental characteristics，as well as magnetic，gravitational and other physical fields.
     As of Thursday，Zhurong has worked on Mars for nearly a year — far outliving its three-month life expectancy （預(yù)期壽命） and obtained a great deal of data，mission controllers said，adding it still has sufficient energy and is in good condition
  
  （1）What does the underlined words "that goal" in paragraph 2 refer to？

  
  A．Collecting materials on Mars.
  B．Landing humans on Mars.
  C．Obtaining consumable water on Mars.
  D．Testing Rover Zhurong on Mars.
  （2）What can we learn from duricrust？

  
  A．Mineral amount.
  B．Water source.
  C．Planet developments.
  D．Soil characteristics.
  （3）Which statement may Liu Yang agree with？

  
  A．Abundant water is stored on Mars.
  B．Landing site is the only water location.
  C．Water activities began 3 billion years ago.
  D．The findings indicate decrease of water formation.
  （4）What can we learn about Zhurong？

  
  A．It is the first rover on Mars.
  B．It can continue to serve on Mars.
  C．It searches for minerals on Mars.
  D．It is expected to outlive 3 months.
