A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely because her best friend wasn’t around. Here is our advice to her and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes. It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around. Maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends, but how do you make one? Maybe it seems that everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends. Start by looking around your classroom and think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say “hi” to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation (欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you are at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in. If you have trouble doing these or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help and soon you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.

Scientists are already working on it to keep astronauts safe and healthy on a trip to Mars, though the trip may be many years later. Over the last 60 years, many spacecraft (航天器) have flown by, orbited (沿轨道运行) and even landed on the red planet. However, humans could work faster and smarter than machines. That’s why the United States, China and other countries want to send people to Mars. But living on this trip would not be easy. A trip to Mars would be the farthest journey in human history. Mars is about 225 million kilometres away, so it would take astronauts at least six months to get there. However, it only takes a few days to get to the moon. Space travel has danger and it takes a lot more health risks to travel in space for a long time. For one thing, staying in space for long periods makes human body weak. Also, it puts pressure behind the eyes and causes eye problems. Then there’s space radiation (辐射) to worry about. It might raise the risk of health problems, especially for astronauts who have long journeys. Scientists are working out the problems. They have found taking certain vitamins (维生素) can help. Astronauts will have to pack light to lift off from the Earth. But they won’t be able to get things they need like astronauts on the space station do. Astronauts on the space station practise for this by growing vegetables and other food in space. Engineers are developing 3-D printing skills which could allow future Mars astronauts to build tools as needed. 29．Why do some countries want to send astronauts to Mars? 30．How long would it take astronauts to reach Mars? 31．Please list two health risks of staying in space for a long time. 32．Do you want to travel in space in the future? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more. 【答案】29．Because humans can work faster and smarter than machines. 30．At least six months. 31．Staying in space for long periods makes human body weak and causes eye problems. 32．Yes. I would love to travel in space because it would be an amazing experience to see Earth from space and explore new planets. However, I would worry about the health risks like radiation and muscle loss. 【导语】本文主要探讨了人类未来登陆火星面临的挑战。 29．根据“However, humans could work faster and smarter than machines. That’s why the United States, China and other countries want to send people to Mars.”可知，因为人类可以比机器工作得更快、更聪明。故填Because humans can work faster and smarter than machines. 30．根据“Mars is about 225 million kilometres away, so it would take astronauts at least six months to get there.”可知，到达火星至少需要6个月的时间。故填At least six months. 31．根据“For one thing, staying in space for long periods makes human body weak. Also, it puts pressure behind the eyes and causes eye problems.”可知，一方面，长时间待在太空会使人体虚弱，也会导致眼睛问题。故填Staying in space for long periods makes human body weak and causes eye problems. 32．此题为开放性试题，言之有理即可。故填Yes. I would love to travel in space because it would be an amazing experience to see Earth from space and explore new planets. However, I would worry about the health risks like radiation and muscle loss. Passage 2 (24-25八下·辽宁锦州·期末) In recent years, robots have started working in restaurants. Some restaurants use robots to cook food, serve customers, and even clean tables. Should robots take the place of human workers in restaurants? Let’s take a look at its pros and cons (利弊). One major advantage (优点) of using robots in restaurants is that robots can work fast and do not need breaks. They can prepare food and serve customers quickly, cutting down waiting time. Another advantage is cost-saving. Robots do not require salaries (薪水) like human workers. Also, robots make fewer mistakes than humans. This improves service quality. However, there are also disadvantages (缺点). First, robots cannot understand customers’ feelings or communicate with them warmly. This may make the dining experience less enjoyable. Second, if a robot breaks down, the restaurant may have trouble serving customers. Lastly, using robots might take away jobs from people which will lead to unemployment (失业). All in all, using robots to work in restaurants has both advantages and disadvantages. 33．What do some restaurants use robots to do? 34．How many advantages of using robots in restaurants does the writer talk about? 35．List two disadvantages of using robots in restaurants according to the passage. 36．What do you think of using robots to work in restaurants?

In my opinion, robots can help us a lot. They work faster than humans. They can prepare food quickly, so we don’t need to wait for a long time. Besides, they aren’t tired of working.（本题开放题，答案不唯一。可以根据作答情况酌情赋分。） 【导语】本文主要介绍在餐馆使用机器人的利弊。 33．根据“Some restaurants use robots to cook food, serve customers, and even clean tables.”可知，一些餐馆使用机器人做饭、为顾客服务，甚至打扫桌子。故填Some restaurants (They) use robots to cook food, serve customers, and even clean tables./To cook food, serve customers, and even clean tables. 34．根据“One major advantage (优点) of using robots in restaurants is that robots can work fast and do not need breaks…Another advantage is cost-saving. Robots do not require salaries (薪水) like human workers. Also, robots make fewer mistakes than humans.”可知，提及了三个优点。故填3./Three. 35．根据“First, robots cannot understand customers’ feelings or communicate with them warmly. This may make the dining experience less enjoyable. Second, if a robot breaks down, the restaurant may have trouble serving customers. Lastly, using robots might take away jobs from people which will lead to unemployment (失业).”可知，机器人无法理解客户的感受或与他们进行热情的交流，这可能会使用餐体验不那么愉快，其次，如果机器人发生故障，餐厅可能无法为顾客提供服务，最后，使用机器人可能会夺走人们的工作，从而导致失业。故填Robots cannot understand customers’ feelings or communicate with them warmly./If a robot breaks down, the restaurant may have trouble serving customers./Using robots might take away jobs from people which will lead to unemployment.（其中的两个） 36．开放题，答案不唯一，参考答案：Great.

This great achievement not only brought her honor but also made her the youngest player in the world to break into the WTA’s Top 10. Andreeva is famous for crying often. After becoming a professional (职业选手) in 2023, she has cried several times when she played poorly. She often gets mad and sad very quickly, and these emotions (情绪) can make her lose hope. At the beginning of this important match, things didn’t start well. She made two mistakes and lost her first service game. In the past, this might have made her cry or give up. But this time, it was different. Although she still had bad feelings, she learned to control them much better. Instead of crying, she kept cool and won every game after that!

Scientists are already working on it to keep astronauts safe and healthy on a trip to Mars, though the trip may be many years later. Over the last 60 years, many spacecraft (航天器) have flown by, orbited (沿轨道运行) and even landed on the red planet. However, humans could work faster and smarter than machines. That’s why the United States, China and other countries want to send people to Mars. But living on this trip would not be easy. A trip to Mars would be the farthest journey in human history. Mars is about 225 million kilometres away, so it would take astronauts at least six months to get there. However, it only takes a few days to get to the moon. Space travel has danger and it takes a lot more health risks to travel in space for a long time. For one thing, staying in space for long periods makes human body weak. Also, it puts pressure behind the eyes and causes eye problems. Then there’s space radiation (辐射) to worry about. It might raise the risk of health problems, especially for astronauts who have long journeys. Scientists are working out the problems. They have found taking certain vitamins (维生素) can help. Astronauts will have to pack light to lift off from the Earth. But they won’t be able to get things they need like astronauts on the space station do. Astronauts on the space station practise for this by growing vegetables and other food in space. Engineers are developing 3-D printing skills which could allow future Mars astronauts to build tools as needed. 29．Why do some countries want to send astronauts to Mars? 30．How long would it take astronauts to reach Mars? 31．Please list two health risks of staying in space for a long time. 32．Do you want to travel in space in the future?
