题目内容
7.My name is Clara.I still remember that chilly December day,sitting in science class.I had finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine.A piece of news caught my eye:NASA (美国宇航局) was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器).Before I even knew anything else about it,a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind,Curiosity.I couldn't wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay.That afternoon,I raced home,sat down at the computer,and typed until my fingers ached."Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone's mind…"
Five months later,my mom received a phone call,and immediately,a wide smile spread across her face.
On August 5,2012,at 10:31pm,the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars,and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.
Curiosity is such an important part of who I am.I have always been fascinated by the stars,the planets,the sky and the universe.I remember as a little girl,my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours.She would tell me stories and point out the stars.Grandma lived in China,thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas,but the stars kept us together even when we were apart.They were always there,yet there was so much I didn't know about them.That's what I love so much about space.
People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars.My answer is simple because we're curious.We human beings do not just hole up in one place.We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what's over the hill and beyond the horizon.

To some people,the idea of reading comic books seems childish.To others,comics are nothing more than (41)J of their happy childhoods.But for people who love comic books,they can be a(n) (42)G escape from the realities of modern life.Comics are able to (43)K readers to brightly-colored,imaginary worlds where superheroes fight with super-monsters,where good can succeed over bad,and where heroes can save thousands of innocent people from the"bad guys."Comics are published globally,but Japanese and American versions(44)F the market despite the fact-or perhaps because-they differ in some ways.
One difference is the appearance of the heroes.Manga ([日语]漫画) heroes look smaller,younger,and more immature than their all-conquering American ones who have sport muscles and wear themed clothes.Also,manga heroes rarely look Japanese,and the stories are not typically set within a Japanese (45)D.Conversely,American comic heroes,despite their masks,are proudly American and are admired for their (46)C to defend U.S.cities.Importantly,in Japan a manga creator can himself or herself become a national hero,becoming almost as famous as the characters.
Probably the biggest difference is the (47)H.Up until the 1950s,American comic books were read by both children and adults,with popular titles such as Superman selling as many as half a million copies per month.The (48)A of TV,however,led to a long-term decline in sales so that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest in superheroes.In Japan,the (49)E couldn't be greater.There manga sales are still (50)B,reaching as high as 7billion each year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and women.A survey by the Mainichi newspaper estimates that 42percent of women aged 20to 49read comics.Manga for men and boys,like the American comics,tend to be action-oriented,while manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships.
