           Brandon Paulin is the top official in the town of Indian Head even though he is only 19 years old. Mr. Paulin started the job in May,and his first goal is to recover the business in the town. The area includes small businesses,old homes on tree-lined streets,and new townhouses along the highway. It is about an hour’ s drive to Washington. About'4,000 people live there. But on the way to the capital,the highway passes the remains of closed businesses. The shops failed largely because of competition from shopping centers in larger cities.

           Mr. Paulin says when some people drive into Indian Head and see the empty buildings,they just turn around and leave. He hopes to return the town to a friendly, successful place where people want to live and visit. “Many years ago,Indian Head was a booming town,and that's  what I want to get back,“he said.

           Right now,people who own the old empty buildings are permitted to use their p’rapeW/es (财产) to reduce their taxes. Mr. Paulin wants to change the situation. He plans to charge owners a fee for their empty buildings,and to increase the cost every year. Only in that way will owners hurry to establish a new business. The owner of a local food store,Kelly Murphy, says, “Mr. Paulin's age doesn’t  bother me. I know he's excited,and when we get around,him,we feel excited,too. We haven’t felt like that for many years in this town."

            Mr. Paulin began participating in city politics when he was ten years old. At that time,he urged town officials to put on signs urging drivers to be aware of pedestrians. Mr. Paulin succeeded. Since then,he has been involved in the town government.

            As a mayor,Mr. Paulin earns $6,000 a year. In comparison ,most U.S. legislators (立法委员) earn an average salary of about $40,000 a year. Mr. Paulin lives at home and takes college classes online. His mother,Wendy Paulin,says her soil accepts challenges and works on problems until he has a solution.

           Last week,we took part in a press conference at NASA’s Johnson Space Center promoting the release of The Martian movie. We spoke with several NASA officials and an astronaut about their plans to help humans set foot on Mars. They all shared with us the big challenges ahead in order to accomplish that. However,it is something they take seriously,and are determined to achieve.

           In an interview at Space Center Houston,The Martian producer Aditya Sood told us the experience of working on the movie with NASA employees was amazing. He said he enjoyed interacting with folks who tried to solve a lot of difficult problems every day. We got an idea of what Sood was talking about when we interviewed some of the scientists responsible for getting humans to Mars.

           Planetary Science Division Director Jim Green told us that getting humans on the surface of Mars in 2035 is probably too ambitious. They are actually looking to get a “human presence in the neighborhood” by the 2030s,meaning in Mars* orbit. Their goal for landing on Mars is for the 2040s or 50s.

           The spacecraft that will take humans to Mars will be the Orion. It is not quite as futuristic-looking as the spaceship in The Martian. In fact,the Orion looks more like the spacecraft that took us to the moon. However,according to their website ,“NASA’s Orion spacecraft is built to take humans farther than they’ve ever gone before."

           When asked if they will really be ready to go to Mars in the 2030sr Stu McClung,the manager of Mechanical,Pyrotechnic,Landing and Recover Systems,told us with confidence and pride,MMy capsule will be ready!” Although,he did make that statement with a bit of a wry smile(苦笑) .That is because he adfnits they still have a lot to figure out.

9. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

   A. The press conference.

   B. Taking humans to Mars.

   C. The release of The Martian.

   D. Speaking with NASA officials.

10. After interviewing some scientists,the author realized that.

   A. Aditya Sood had been lying

   B. making The Martian wasn't so difficult

   C. working with NASA employees was successful

   D. NASA employees really faced a lot of challenges

11. What does Jim Green think they can achieve by the 2030s?

   A. Helping humans land on Mars.

   B. Taking humans into Mars,orbit.

   C. Finding the landing spot on Mars.

   D. Learning about the neighborhood of Mars.

12. What do we know about the Orion?

   A. * It can be seen in The Martian.

   B. It once landed on the moon.

   C. It has an amazing look.

   D. It will land on Mars.
