Between 15 and 17, I put on a lot of weight—about 50 kg. I didn’t know how big I was till I saw a photo one day. In the photo, I had a fat neck and my stomach was out there. I didn’t like the way I looked. I knew I needed to lose some weight. I started to drink only water, and eat less and healthier. I ate mainly vegetables and only one piece of meat every day, and stayed away from sugar. I also started to exercise. Every day, I ran for 30 minutes first, and then I did some push-ups (俯卧撑) for 10 minutes. I also jumped rope (跳绳) for 15 minutes every day. I kept exercising all the winter. When March came, many people said to me,  “Oh, Dave, you’ve been a different person!” It was true. I lost 25 kg in three months. I liked taking photos, and I noticed the difference in my looks. I loved the three months. It felt good to lose weight, and it felt even better to set a goal (目标) and go for it. 19．Dave put on a lot of weight because he ________.

That’s because about three-fourths of the earth is covered by water. People think we are not short of water. In fact, they are wrong. Most of the water is salt water. We can find it in the world’s oceans. Only about 3% is fresh water that we can drink. Although you might think that most of the fresh water on the earth is found in the lakes and rivers, in fact, less than 1% of the fresh water can be found in these places. Around 70% of the earth’s fresh water is ice in the polar (极地的) places. They are far from us. And the water there is tough to transport (运输). The second greatest source (资源) of fresh water on the earth is under the ground. This kind of water is called groundwater. Places that don’t have fresh water from rivers and lakes depend on groundwater for drinking and other uses. Groundwater also can’t get away from pollution. Chemicals (化学制品) that are used in farming and factories can get into the ground. The earth has little usable water. Luckily, each of us can do something to save water. Kids and adults are trying their best to save water in their own communities (社区). If we work together, we will have a better world. 23．What percentage of the earth is covered by water? A．About 25%. B．About 75%. C．About 43%. D．About 85%. 24．What does the underlined word “tough” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．危险的 B．普通的 C．困难的 D．简单的 25．Which one can lead to the pollution to underground water according to the passage? A．Chemicals. B．Ice. C．Rubbish. D．Rain. 26．Which of the following is TRUE? A．People are not short of water. B．Most of the water in oceans is fresh water. C．We can find most of the fresh water in the rivers on the earth. D．About 70% of the earth’s fresh water is ice in the polar places.

You might have asked yourself this before. Well, Mars is the name of the Roman god of war. People have seen the planet as a symbol of war for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks called the planet Ares after their god of war. Chinese people called it the “fire star” for the same reason. Scientists have been interested in the planet since long before any space tasks. Egyptian scientists first saw Mars in the sky more than 4,000 years ago. Since then, people from all over the world have studied the planet. Over the years, scientists have learned some basic things about it. Mars is l0 times lighter and about 6 times smaller than Earth. Earth is 93 million miles(about 150 million km) from the sun, while Mars is 142 million miles away. That means it is much colder on Mars. In fact, the average temperature on Mars is -62℃. Scientists found water on Mars long ago, but because the temperature is low there, it is frozen. One day on Mars is called a sol and is about 40 minutes longer than one Earth Day. The Red Planet’s surface gravity is only 37% as strong as Earth’s, meaning you would be able to jump nearly two times higher on Mars. Now, human’s exploration of Mars is reaching a new level. On February 19, 2021, the NASA rover(美国航天局探测器) Perseverance(“毅力号”) landed on this planet safely. Perseverance will have lots of work to do like taking samples(样本) and looking for signs of ancient life. This is the first rover to do this on Mars. 46．What did ancient Greeks call Mars?
