Daming woke up in the morning. The robot said in a pleasant voice, “It is June 26, 2118. It’s a fine day. And your father is leaving for Planet 3549 in an hour.”

Planet 3549 is a newly-discovered planet. With the development of technology, it will take only 15 days to travel there. Daming’s father is an excellent astronaut(宇航员), so he was chosen to land on this planet.

Before his journey, scientists had collected a lot of information about the planet. Then came the time for Daming’s father to leave. He said goodbye to his family members and friends, and then started his journey, during which time he had a good rest in the spaceship. After landing on Planet 3579 safely, the real work began for Daming’s father. He connected with the headquarter (指挥中心) on the earth and sent back some photofraphs of this planet. After that, he sent one of the robots away to get more data (数据) about Planet 3549. Meanwhile, some machines controlled by computers in the spaceship were working to produce oxygen (氧) and clean water, other machines were dealing with waste.

Everything worked very well for the first week. Unluckily, something suddenly went wrong with a small part of a machine, and it couldn’t turn dirty water into drinking water. It was terrible. Daming’s father was very worried, but suddenly he had an idea. He connected the machine with a tool outside the spaceship, which could provide power (动力) for it, so he fixed the machine all by himself! Though it wouldn’t last long, he avoided danger for the time being. “I must call back the earth and ask for help,” he thought to himeself.

Hearing the news, the scientists on the earth immediately took actions and sent another spaceship to bring him back. Daming’s mother and the whole family were all concerned (担心) about Daming’s father. They made vision (视频) calls every day until Daming’s father safely returned.

Daming: What was the most dangerous thing that ever happened in your work?

Tony: Going into the desert (沙漠) without careful prepararion is very dangerous. For example, if you don’t take enough water, it means death. Getting lost is another danger. We also have to be careful with snakes.

Daming: Where do you work?

Tony: I always find myself in desert areas, but they can look very different. We get to a place by car and then we walk, walk, walk. You can’t see anything if you don’t walk. I usually avoid going to big dune (沙丘) areas by myself. I make sure we have several cars and plenty of gas and water.

Daming: What is a working day like you?

Tony: On a working day, we get up early, get all the things together, readying the cars, and checking everything. Sometimes we drive a long way, forget something necessary, like water, and have to go back. We eat a pack lunch in the field and then work until 4 or 5 p.m. in the Middle East, we often work during the winter. After supper we wash, write about our work that day, then take a break and go to bed early.

Daming: What is the hardest part of your work?

Tony: The hardest part of work is being lonely. The days are long, and I miss my family and my friends. I’m a sports fan. I like to play basketball and tennis and watch all sorts of sports on television, so I miss that very much when I’m in the field.

Amy is a biologist (生物学家) working at a marine (海洋的) park. These kinds of parks provide fun and education for tens of thousands of people each year.

Amy takes care of many animals in the park, but she also does important research. As she observes the animals that she looks after, she learns more about their needs and behavior (行为). This information helps the animals in the park, but it can also be used to protect other members of the species(物种) in the wild.

It’s hard work to look after these animals. Their needs often change according to different hours of the day. So Amy must depend on her science knowledge and good number sense to help her make the right decisions all day long.

Even though dolphins (海豚) spend much of their time underwater, they are mammals (哺乳动物). This means that they must come to the surface to take in air. Dolphins give birth to their young. They’re not hatched from eggs. Just like all other mammals, mother dolphins must nurse, or feed milk to their babies.

Amy and her team know this first-hand. One of their dolphins recently gave birth. A baby dolphin is not small, either. It was almost 1 meter long the day it was born. A big dolphin usually eats about 4% of its body weitht in food every day. Amy knows that a mother dolphin that is nursing needs twice the food. So when the baby dolphin was born, Amy immediately doubled the mother’s food every day.

D. It helps umderwater animals to come to the surface.

3.What does Amy need to make the right decision according to this passage?

A. Good eyes and quick mind. B. Love and care for animals.

C. Swimming skills and spirit of competition. D. depend on her science knowledge and good number sense.

Flowers have habits or ways of doing things, just as people have. Would you like to hear about some of these?

There is one habit that almost all flowers have. They turn to the light. If plants are kept in a room, the flowers turn to the window.

Some flowers shut up at night. It seems that they go to sleep. They open again in the morning. Tulips（郁金香）do this.

One morning Lingling was looking at some tulips. When one of them opened, a bee flew out. He stayed too late last night, and so was shut up in the flower.

He might be hard at work all day getting honey.

He stopped to rest in the tulip, and was shut in when it closed. He had a fine bed that night. Lingling wondered if he slept any better than he would have slept in the hive（蜂巢）!
