    The older we get, the more we learn, the better able we are to know what's right. Right? Not always. Sometimes the aging process can remove completely the natural aspects that keep us curious and give us strength to figure out what to do. As a matter of fact,children of all ages teach us lessons in our own lives.

    When a kid says“ That wasn't nice 'or' I don't like your shirt” or “I hate that kind of food!”, it's a natural reaction(反应)to shush the child not to do so, but what they say is true. When children see a wrong being done, they will interrupt to say it's not right. As adults, we usually sit nearby rather than hold a strong opinion or say something that might be unpopular.

    Kids cry, stamp( 跺) their feet or yell with excitement while it isn't socially acceptable for an adult. Letting emotions out and then moving on to deal with things, so jump and yell "yippee" when you are happy about something. Have a good cry when being upset. Stamp or throw a pillow when being alone and need to release. Most of life becomes a series of things once you reach a certain age. Finding pleasure and laughing seems out of place or silly when gaining knowledge or skills.

    “Why is the sky blue?” “ How much does an elephant weigh?” There are certain things that the Internet can tell you, but what about learning something in the first hand like the science experiment in the kitchen, digging up rocks in the backyard, how high the bicycle's wheels can fly over the gravel( 砂砾)? Don't stop exploring and find new learnings in the real world.

(1)、What can we know from the text?
A、Adults know what is right better than children. B、Children often show their inner feelings directly. C、Adults look for their future happiness easily. D、Adults like to express their own opinions freely.
(2)、What's the purpose of the author's writing the last paragraph?
A、To remind us to try to enjoy life to the fullest. B、To persuade us not to rely much on the Internet. C、To warn us to keep curious about things around us. D、To encourage us to take an active part in life by ourselves.
(3)、What is the passage mainly telling us about?
A、Being adults is different from children. B、Being adults doesn't mean we are smarter. C、It's not easy for children to grow into adults. D、It's necessary to listen to what the children say.

    An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow landed on their window. The father asked his son," What is that?" The son replied," That's a crow."

    After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time. The son said," Father, I told you just now. It is a crow." After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time," What is that?" This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone," It's a crow, a crow."

    After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time," What is that?" This time his son shouted at the father," Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, ‘IT IS A CROW.' Are you not able to understand this?"

    A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.

    "Today my little son aged 3 was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son."

    If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered me with love. I will take care of my old parents in the BEST way no matter how they behave."

    US Space Agency Returns to Mars with InSight Lander

    The American space agency's lander InSight is to arrive on Mars at the end of November, 2018. Unlike NASA's Curiosity rover, InSight will not move across the planet's surface. Instead it will become the first spacecraft (航天器) used only for exploring underground. It will study the geography of Mars, searching for signs of Martian (火星的) quakes.

    InSight is a project of U.S. and Europe. It is 6 meters long and 1.5 meters wide. It weighs 360kilograms. InSight's 1 .8 -meter robotic arm will put two experiments in place. Both are designed toexplore underground of Mars to learn about the inside.

    Bruce Banerdt is the lead scientist for InSight. He viewed the spacecraft as a robot that can take care of itself. "It's got its own brain. It's got an arm. It can listen and feel things. It pulls its own power out of the sun," he noted.

    Thomas Zurbuchen, one of the heads in NASA, said the results of the InSight project could "change the way we think about the inside of our earth." But, first, InSight will have to land on Mars undamaged. Since Mars exploration started in the 1960s, only about 40 percent of the explorations have succeeded.

    Tom Hoffman is InSight's project manager. He said earlier successes do not lessen the concerns for each new exploration. "That we ve done it before doesn't mean we're not nervous and excited about doing it again," he said.

    InSight will enter the Martian atmosphere (大气层) traveling at 19,800 kilometers an hour. It will slow for landing on a wide flat area on Mars. If all goes well, InSight could carry out its experiments in about 10 weeks. The InSight project is expected to continue for one Martian year, about two years on Earth.
