To find out more about the 2._________(Earth) make­up, scientists hope 3._________(drill) deep holes and reach the mantle within a few years so as to 4._________(well) understand the geology of the Earth. Studying the inside of the Earth has many 5._________(benefit). For example, it may help solve the 6._________(store) problem of hydrogen and pave the way for cars to run on hydrogen fuel. Besides, scientists hope that research into microorganisms deep inside the Earth would cast light 7._________ the origin of life. 8._________ life on the Earth can survive deep underground without sunlight, life could also be 9._________(thrive) beneath the surface of Mars. Such a study as above would lead to exciting and 10._________(enlighten) discoveries, and benefit the mankind. Activity 5: Warm­up for the next period.

Trapping hydrogen in the ice cages can help to store it. Activity 2： 1. Because the study of the inside of our planet would lead to exciting and enlightening discoveries, and benefit the mankind. 2. We might find how living things can survive without sunlight and it might help us to explore other planets like Mars. Activity 3： 1. It depends. I think the exploration into the Earth helps the development of science and benefits the mankind in many ways. But at the same time we must remember not to destroy the globe. To protect the Earth, it's vital to reject the overexploitation of the Earth at any time. 2. Our “down” trip would have gravity increasing our speed every second as we are pulled towards the core, propelling our way through the Earth until we reach the centre. Once there, gravity would begin acting as a buffer against us, making our “up” trip increasingly slower. Activity 4： 1. is based　2. Earth's　3. to drill　4. better　5. benefits　6. storage　7. on　8.
