It' s 2050. The earth is dying, and moving to Mars seems to be the only way out for humans. A team of American astronauts begin to search on Mars. This is what the movie Red Planet begins with. Known as the Red Planet, Mars is the favourite of writers and filmmakers.
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and the next planet beyond the earth. Mars is the only planet whose surface can be seen from the earth. It is about half size of our planet.
The surface of Mars is more like the earth than any other planet. But it is farther from the sun than the earth, so temperatures on Mars are much lower. Plants and animals can not live now on Mars. But many scientists still believe that such life may have been on Mars long ago.
On 6th August, 1996, scientists discovered a piece of rock from Mars, which fell to the earth 13,000 years ago. 10 years later, some scientists still didn' t accept that there was life on Mars. People may not be sure about life on Mars until a sample (样本)of life is brought back. Some further researches are being done in many countries.

A. 回答问题
请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题，并把答案写在横线上。
Jane was not a confident girl before, because she was fat and others often laughed at her. As a result, Jane became very shy. She was scared to say hello to strangers. She was afraid to ask simple questions and speak loud in front of others. It seemed that she was afraid of everything in her life. She used to believe that she would be like this all her life.
But one day, her friend Paul' s words changed her mind. He encouraged Jane to change herself. He said, “If you can give it a try, you will have a chance to make a change. But if you never try, your life is only going to get worse.” Jane was deeply touched by what Paul said. She thought, “Why not have a try After all, I have nothing to lose.”
The first thing Jane did was losing weight. She had a strict diet and did exercise every day. After 6 months, she lost 90 pounds. This taught her that she could change herself.
A few months later, Jane heard about a speech competition at her university. She plucked up(鼓起)her courage to attend the competition. For the first time, she was able to share her story and speak loud in front of many people. In the end, she got a big prize!
After the competition, Jane made a to-do list and started changing rapidly. She tried her best to finish the things on the list one by one. When working on them, she felt more and more confident. Jane was still making progress now. And she will never stop.
