The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is mostly a desert. However, this has not stopped the country from creating great building projects. On September 6，UAE officials announced another great project—Mars Science City. Vast deserts and miles of coastlines provide plenty of better conditions for safe rocket launches (发射). And its position on the Earth makes it especially fit as the movement of the Earth provides an extra push，meaning less fuel is needed to get rockets into orbit (轨道).All these seem to make it possible.
The Mars Science City project，designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, or BIG, will provide a model to simulate (模仿）living on the surface of Mars，the red planet. It is part of the UAE，s Mars 117 Project to lead the global race to land humans on Mars and be the first to build a settlement there. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid，Prime Minister and the ruler of Dubai，says，“ The UAE seeks international support to develop technologies that benefit humans, and get prepared for a better future for more generations to come.”
Built outside Dubai, the 1.9 million square feet city is expected to cost $ 115 million. It will consist of several laboratories, similar to the ones imagined for the first Mars settlers. Scientists from around the world will be invited to do research to come up with methods to create food，water and energy, using techniques which can be copied onto the red planet. The living space, where the researchers can live for up to a year，will simulate the planet’s conditions as much as possible.
The research city will also include a museum showing famous space achievements to help educate and inspire children to carry on space exploration and discovery. To discover whether the construction method works on Mars，the museum’s walls will be 3D printed with the sand from the nearby desert. Now, if they would only add some living quarters for the general public to experience life on Mars without leaving Earth, life would be perfect.
1.What can we conclude about the United Arab Emirates
A. It is short of fine weather.
B. It is a nice place for launching rockets.
C. It can provide enough fuel supply.
D. It has the greatest scientists in the world.
2. What will scientists do in the laboratories
A. Educate visitors on trips to Mars.
B. Develop the Mars settlers’ imagination.
C. Find ways to produce food, water and energy on Mars.
D. Create a climate-controlled environment for future use.
3.Why will the museum’s walls be 3D printed
A. To show famous space techniques.
B. To make full use of the nearby desert.
C. To inspire children to love exploration.
D. To test whether the construction method can be used on Mars.
4.What’s the best title for the text
A. UAE is to Build Mars Science City
B. UAE’s Great Exploration of Mars
C. UAE is to Build the First Mars Settlement
D. UAE’s Scientific Contribution to Humans

Should schoolchildren have jobs
Now at school，the last thing you probably want to do is to spend your weekends going to work. There is homework to do and sport to play. 1 When I was a teenager I had a Saturday job in a supermarket：stacking (摆放)shelves and working at the checkout.
Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13，and many children do take up part-time jobs. 2 Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing your money. So，that’s no bad thing!
Some research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday job could be harmful to a person later on. But despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by one fifth in the past five years.
3 Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College leaders, told BBC News, “Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality, it’s all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.
4 One 13-year-old girl called Rachel，who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC, “I enjoy my job because Fm earning money and it helps increase my confidence in speaking to people and socializing with people I work with.” That seems like something worth getting up on a Saturday morning. 5
A. Did you do a part-time job when you were at school
B. So you are not free to do what you are feeling like doing.
C. It is a waste of time and does no good to your career prospect.
D. It’s a taste(尝试）of independence and a useful thing to be put on your CV (简历).
E. Does this mean that British teenagers are more afraid of hard work now
F. But your parents probably persuade you to find a job and get some life experience.
G. Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom.
