The rover has been constructed in a large, sterile room at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, near Los Angeles, where its driving equipment was given its first successful test last week.

Shown to invited journalists on Friday, it is scheduled to leave Earth in July 2020 from Floridas Cape Canaveral, becoming the fifth US rover to land on Mars seven months later in February.

“It's designed to seek the signs of life, so we’re carrying a number of different instruments that will help us understand the geological and chemical context on the surface of Mars,” deputy mission leader Matt Wallace told AFP.

Among the devices on board the rover are 23 cameras, two “ears” that will allow it to listen to Martian winds, and lasers used for chemical analysis.

Approximately the size of a car, the rover is equipped with six wheels like the former US rover, Curiosity, allowing it to travel along rocky land.

Speed is not a priority for the vehicle, which only has to cover around 200 yards(180 metres) per Martian day -approximately the same as a day on Earth.

Fuelled by a tiny nuclear reactor, Mars 202(has seven-foot-long(2 metres) articulated arms and a drill to crack open rock samples in locations scientists identify as potentially suitable for life.

We are hoping to move fairly quickly. We'd like to see the next mission launched in 2026 which will get to Mars and pick up the samples, put them into a rocket and finally bring them back to the Earth, "said Wallace. NASA’s Mars 2020 will remain active for at least one Martian year, which is around two years on Earth.

The 25 women, aged 29 to 65, watched their coach carefully. All had breast cancer and survived. Their decision to join the Philadelphia Women's Dragon Boat Team was brave and crazy.

Over the months of training, one would be told that cancer had spread to her bones and another would be hospitalized for radiation treatment side effects. But these strong and determined women—each and every one of them—took part in the International Dragon Boat Racing Championship.

In theory, it's a terrible sport for women whose muscles and nerves have been damaged. Doctors generally advised them to avoid hard and repetitive arm exercise. But seven years ago, Canadian Donald Mckenzie, a sports medicine physician, showed dragon boating is good for survivors. “It builds both their physical and mental strength.” Mckenzie said.

Coach Lindner, 60, was inspired by that and included the 25 women in her three-year-old Philadelphia Women's Dragon Boat Team.

The survivors tried hard and did their best. No self-pity.

Renata Whitaker, her hair growing back, began feeling more confident. But she grew tired and easily got out of breath. She had to be in hospital for a week. As she got better she called Lindner, saying she had got well enough to be in the game. Lindner told her if she felt up to it, she would be with the team.

“But you are not going to paddle,” Lindner said, “Remember what I said, “To be strong, fit women for life. I want you by my side for the rest of our lives, not just for one race.”

These women tested their limits. A 500-meter race lasted about three minutes.

As the city darkened in the heat, the team finally paddled toward the Fairmount Boathouse.

Soon, the river was filled with the sounds of painful but happy women singing Merrily We Roll Along.

【1】What do the twenty-five women have in common?

A.They are crazy about dragon boating

B.They are cancer survivors.

C.They were inspired by Donald Mckenzie and have trained together for three years

D.They have broken the record of the International Dragon Boat Racing Championships

【2】Why did Lindner refuse Whitaker's request?

A.Because Whitaker wasn’t really good at paddling.

B.Because Whitaker easily got tired and out of breath.

C.Because Whitaker hadn't recovered completely.

D.Because a new paddler would be in Whitaker's place.

【3】Which of the following will Mckenzie support?

A.Dragon boating will help repair patients' damaged nerves

B.Patients should feel sorry for themselves if they don t take part in dragon boat races

C.Dragon boating will benefit the patients physically and mentally

D.Cancer survivors should avoid hard and repetitive arm exercise

【4】What can we know about Lindner?

A.She enjoys the sport of boat racingB.She is tough with her team members

C.She is also a cancer survivor.D.She is helpful and inspiring.

On the afternoon of May 25th, a charity sale held by the Students’ Union on our school playground. In order to keep everything organized, we made fully preparations. Before the sale, from the student we collected various used books and second-hand goods which were still in a good condition. Then we classify them. When the day came, students and teachers both came and took an active part in it. In the end of the activity, we raised 5000 yuan in total. All the money which we raised will be sent to the students from poor families in our school to help finishing their studies. It’s such meaningful an activity that students are all looking forward to the next charity sale.

Look for certified green hotels that use renewable energy, recycle, use environmentally friendly cleaning products and so on. Staying in smaller, locally run hotels and B&Bs is often the greenest method around, which will make your stay environmentally and socially responsible as well as being a more direct boost to the local economy.

Use public transport, bike or walk

Instead of renting a car, hop on a local bus: take a walking tour or view the countryside by bike. 【2】.

Eat locally

Leave a light footprint

【4】. Research your destination by Internet or ask around to find out if there are water shortages, how energy is produced and if there are any resource issues to be aware of.

Don’t dump your stuff

Some less-developed areas don’t have the means to dispose of large, man-made items like old electronics or used batteries. If you leave them, they could remain in a landfill for hundreds of years after you’re gone 【5】. As for clothing and items that may be of use to local people, donate them to local charities or religious organizations so they can reach those most in need.

B.Choose a green tour company

G.We believe responsible travel can open hearts and minds, give us a broader understanding of the world, and inspire us to make a difference

"In 2013, our child would have been one year old,” says Davis, 38, "and we kept seeing these kids at the shelter, and I said to my husband, 'We couldn't throw a birthday party for our child, so let's do it for these kids. '"

They took over a room in the Union Rescue Mission and filled it with streamers （飘带）， gifts, a cake — all the makings of a great party. Since then, the couple has thrown a party every month. They routinely attract 250 kids and their parents. An hour before each party, volunteers arrive to set up the decorations and activities: face painting, balloon artists, a DJ, cake, and pizza. There are small presents for the kids celebrating their birthdays that month, but Davis makes sure there are more than enough to go around.

"I remember a mom came with her two kids," Davis says, “and her child had a birthday. We had an extra gift for her—pink headphones. The little girl was so excited that she was jumping up and down. And her mom …she's crying, 'Yesterday was her birthday. I had nothing to give her. I really didn't expect a birthday party for my child.'"

Doing her best to normalize（使正常化）these kids' lives is both heartwarming and bittersweet. Davis says, "If you look down, you see so many homeless people on the street, which reminds you that these kids don't get to leave this area after the party. "It may be why, after throwing 88 parties, she still cries after each one.
