Isn't it a better choice for human exploration （探索）than Mars? However, with a temperature of about 465 on the surface, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system!

ACWhen I saw Ronny for the first time, he looked like other kids in the first - grade classroom where I volunteered （自 愿）as a Reading Mom. However, he usually arrived at school wearing old clothes. On the day when it was Ronny's turn to read, he sat very close to me. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried to speak out "Bud the Sub”. It sounded more like "Baw Daw Saw“ when he said it because of his difficulty with the alphabet （字母）.The year passed quickly and Ronny had made some progress but he was still below the level of grade. A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an award ceremony （颁奖典礼）. I had gifts and certificates （证书）for everyone. It took me a while to think about which gift is good for Ronny. I believed the gift could cheer him up. I finally decided on “The Most Progressive Reader”. I showed him a certificate and a book.A few days later, I saw Ronny reading the book when I went back to the school. His teacher said, “He hasn't put that book down. Fhafs the first book he's ever had.”Fighting back tears I came near Ronny and asked, "Will you read me your book, Ronny? He nodded.And then, fbr the next few minutes, he read to me more smoothly than I'd ever thought.

CMaterial OneIf your child often gets bad grades, you must feel sad. As a middle school teacher,! feel sad, too. However, I'd like to say that bad grades are not the end of the world.Recently, researchers from the University of Bristol (in England) and the University of Chicagofin the USA)did a survey. Over 10,000 people took part in the research. The study shows that promising children money, iPads or cell phones to pass exams is useless. However, promises of trips can encourage students to study hard. So from now on, please make proper promises. Material TwoAs an education expert, I care much about your kids.

ACDo encyclopedias know everything?Long before Wikipedia （维基百科）or Encyclopedia Britannica （大英百科全书），there wasPliny the Elder. He was a first-century Roman researcher. His assistants read to him while he atedinner and while he bathed. All the while, Pliny took notes. He even considered walking a waste of time. His assistants carried him around Rome in a chair while he read.All of this was done in preparation for his Historia Naturalis. The book was published in A.D. 77. It is considered the oldest surviving （现存的）encyclopedia on Earth. There are 2,500 chapters. They cover everything from mice to Mars.“No Roman author has completed such a project J Pliny proudly declared. Unluckily, two years after having published the encyclopedia, he died in a natural disaster.Accidents can hardly be avoided. However, they can be recorded. Editors （编辑）of encyclopedias, like Pliny, organize the knowledge of our world. Like a valuable gift, the books are passed down through the ages. They begin their lives as a tool and end them as a historical record.Therefore, in my opinion, an encyclopedia is not just a record of what its editors know, it's also a record of what they don't know.Pliny was wrong when he said there were seven planets, including the Sun and the Moon. He was wrong, too, when he said Africans were black from being burnt by the Sun. After all, Historia Naturalis is a book edited by a Roman thousands of years ago. It contained all of the things he truly knew at the time.Similarly, I believe both Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica have some inaccurate （不准 确的）information. Even the biggest encyclopedias only represent what their editors know.“The task of editing an encyclopedia can never be completed,“ said Roger Lewinter, an American researcher. Encyclopedias can't record all of human knowledge but just some of it. They are always waiting for someoneyou, perhapsto improve them.56. According to the article, before Pliny the Elder completed Historia Naturalis,.A. nobody knew what Mars wasB. there was no encyclopedia on EarthC. nobody had considered walking a waste of timeD. no Roman author had completed an encyclopedia57.
