For a long time, humans have used technology (科技) to study the world around us, and Mars is the latest place we’re using machines to explore. Besides the earth, the “red planet” is seen, as the one place in our solar system most likely to have life.
Early last month, the first American robot, Spirit, landed on Mars without any problem. Opportunity, the second robot, landed on the planet more than a week ago. Scientists are very excited about these machines’ safe landing on Mars. It means that now we have an excellent chance to look for water and other signs of life. So far, the robots have found some stones that could show Mars was once a wet and warm planet.
But the trips made by Spirit and Opportunity were dangerous. Mars is often called the “death planet”, because in the past its environment has been unfriendly to the robot explorers. Before Spirit and Opportunity, nearly forty spaceships had been sent to Mars since the 1960s. Two-thirds of them failed. The first spaceship, Korabl, sent in 1962 by Russia was among them. It broke apart (分裂) near the earth. 28. For a long time humans think ________.

阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
Why are so many people so afraid to fail? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure (失败) becomes an experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards(标准). When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to blame (责怪) others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.
There’s a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time, and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honour list on the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer
a quick consolations (安慰), prize or say, “It doesn’t matter.” Because it does. The young should be allowed to experience failure and be helped to come out of it. Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown-ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it. You must learn to ask “Why did I fail?” Don’t blame anyone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about asking them. 31:How do most parents prevent their children from failure? A．They give them some presents.
B．They don’t tell them that they have failed. C．They don’t blame others.
D．They help them to come out of failure.
32:Which of the following can a person learn when he fails? A．It’s impossible to enjoy a game if he misses it. B．He is the worst of all.
C．It’s natural not to win a game and no one can win all the time. D．His teammates are not good enough.
33. Which would be the best title for the passage? A．Learning from Failure B．Ways of Preventing Failure C．Reasons of Failure
D．Getting Pleasure from Failure 参考答案31-33 BCA

阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
If you’re ever apart from your children, a new study says just talking on the phone will help just as much as a hug(拥抱)．
If you’re a parent who spends long hours on the job, you probably feel sorry for spending so much time away from your kids．But the results of a new study show that a mother’s voice alone can be just as comforting to an anxious child as physical contact．
In an experiment, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison asked a group of girls between the age of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judges – a stressful(充满压力了)situation for anyone．Before the girls were set to solve math problems, the researchers measured their levels of two hormones(荷尔蒙)：cortisol, which goes up during stressful periods, and oxytocin, the “love” hormone． After they were finished, some of the girls got to meet up with their mothers right away．The mums came in and hugged the girls．Another group of the girls didn’t see their mothers, but received phone calls from them, in which their mothers told them how well they’d done．The final group had no contact with their mothers, but watched an animal movie, March of the Penguins instead．
Finally, the girls’ hormone levels were measured again．although the movie was interesting, it did noting to ease(缓解)the children’s anxiety – but, surprisingly, both the physical contact and phone calls from their mothers had the same effect on easing the girls’ stress levels．
So, no matter how old you are, if you’re feeling stressed about something in your life, a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better．
