Since then, Diana has only kept setting the bar higher. In her second mission; it took her team two years to create the robotic arm for the Perseverance Rover that would bring back soil samples from the Red Planet to learn if there once was life there.Right now, her mission is to help more Latinas realize they can be also successful in the exploration of science and technology.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.CHow can you recognize a British, a German, and a Frenchman, apart from their accents and names?There are ways people dress, but they are very complex and would take a lot of time to explain. Some items of clothing are just more popular in some countries than in others. For example, Germans often wear sandals(凉鞋）with their socks op，which is something a Frenchman would normally never do. In Berlin, where I live, people dont really dress as smart as they would in Paris or London. The Germans have a reputation for not caring so much about their outward appearance as long as the clothes are comfortable, theyre happy! They also seem to love sportswear more than people anywhere else.The French cannot queue while the British just seem to love it. French people are always late, British people are always .on time and the Germans are always early.French people use their hands a lot more when they speak, and take a lot more time to；say something. French people care k lot how things are done or said. The British do care how things are done and said, but only in a context of politeness. The Germans just care how things are done. The French and the British seem to care more how things look. for example, food products and packaging.When it comes to food, for example in a restaurant, a Frenchman would never think of ordering beer with a meal, which is something totally normal for a Germanr a'British.I find the Germans the cleanest and most disciplined in public spaces. The French1 are the worst and the British somehow in between.-'>；. i2212022学年下学期期末测评试卷高二英语第4页（共8.页）P扫荇能王创建28 A ,，A Rv u assae, how'can we tell the'three kinds of'people apart?*°y tneir behaviour.u n,C Rv tkiby their nicknames.29.1f a 7 ,e<1Ur f.theirSkinJD.
