Are we alone in the universe (宇宙)? People have always wondered whether there is (or was) life on other planets. Since the 1960s, NASA (国家航空航天局) has been interested in finding out more about Mars (火星) In 1975, NASA sent two spacecraft (航天器) — Viking 1 and Viking 2 — to Mars. They landed in 1976.

In 2001, NASA sent another spacecraft to Mars. Mars Odyssey entered Mars's orbit (轨道) on October 24, 2001. The spacecraft flew around the planet and sent pictures back to NASA scientists.

On November 26, 2011, NASA sent another spacecraft called Curiosity to Mars. It landed on Mars on August 5, 2012. Curiosity's job is to check whether there has ever been life on Mars and to study more about the planet.

Ashlyn Blocker was a quiet baby. She didn't cry even when she was hungry. Her parents felt lucky to have such a calm (镇静的) child. When Ashlyn was eight months old, Mr. and Mrs. Blocker noticed a problem with her eye. It was red and looked painful, so they took her to the doctor. As he checked on Ashlyn, the doctor carefully touched her sore eye. Patients, especially babies and children, usually don't like this, and they try to move away. Ashlyn didn't do this. The doctor was surprised. After checking, he began to realize that Ashlyn didn't feel pain.
After discovering that their daughter couldn't feel pain, the Blockers no longer felt lucky, because Ashlyn could easily hurt herself and not know. As Ashlyn began to move around more and to walk, keeping her safe became more and more of a challenge.
At first, the doctors thought she might be the only case in the world. But later they found that there were others with the illness — a whole family in Pakistan and eight other kids who lived nearer to Ashlyn in the US.
Now doctors are studying Ashlyn and other people who don't feel pain. They want to understand the condition and help people who have it. But they also want to understand how the body can stop pain. It may help them to develop new medicines to stop pain — good news for anyone who experiences a lot of it.
What's it like to feel no pain? Ashlyn deals with the condition well and has a happy life. She says, “It's just me. It's all I've ever known.”

A. accepts it B. feels angry about it
C. knows little about it D. worries a lot about it
