It is the year 2050 now. Tom and I want to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （参观）Mars. It is a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} （行星）far away from ours-the earth.

    Our {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （宇宙飞船）fly for two weeks to get to Mars. When we {#blank#}4{#/blank#} （到达），we open the door of the spaceship and look out. The {#blank#}5{#/blank#} （天气）there is sunny and hot. We see an alien（外星人） {#blank#}6{#/blank#} （在……后面）a tree. He is very tall and big and has {#blank#}7{#/blank#} （棕色的）hair. "Help me!" shout the alien. Then we see some monsters（怪兽）running after {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （另一个）alien from the house near a tree. They want to kill him. So we have to run away{#blank#}9{#/blank#}（迅速地）！We both move to the spaceship and jump in. We also take the alien into our spaceship and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} （救）him. What an exciting day！

    Mr. Smith doesn't understand why some parents make their kids h{#blank#}1{#/blank#}with housework and chores at home. Kids these days already have e{#blank#}2{#/blank#}stress from school. They should spend their time on schoolwork in o{#blank#}3{#/blank#}to get good grades and get into a good university. And when they get older, they will have to do housework so there is no n{#blank#}4{#/blank#}for them to do it now. But Ms. Miller thinks it is important for children to learn h{#blank#}5{#/blank#}to do chores and help their parents with housework. It is not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. D{#blank#}6{#/blank#}chores helps to develop children's independence and teaches them how to look after t{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. It also helps them to understand the idea of f{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. They should know that everyone should play their part in k{#blank#}9{#/blank#}the rooms clean and tidy. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the b{#blank#}10{#/blank#}it is for their future.
