任务型阅读

Hi, I'm Gina. In February, 2018 my mother had a yard sale. During the sale, she had a conversation with a young girl called Nancy, for they had a common interest in some books she had for sale. They enjoyed their conversation so much that they exchanged their phone numbers. Later they became friends and got together a few times. When my mom moved into her new house, she had a family dinner and invited Nancy and introduced her to my brother. Five months later Nancy married (结婚) my brother.

In 2018, there was another special "yard sale" that I'll never forget. One day, after work from school, I found one of my neighbors had a lot of things out in their front yard with cars and people everywhere. I ran to the yard at once and wanted to find some good cheap things too before everything good was gone. But then I found out it wasn't a yard sale. In fact, policemen were taking the stolen (被偷的) things out of the house. My neighbor was a thief! Luckily, I didn't ask how much the TV was.

(1)、When did Gina's mother have a yard sale?
(2)、Why did the writer's mother have a conversation with Nancy?
(3)、Did Nancy marry Gina's brother at last?
(4)、Did Gina buy a TV from her neighbor's "yard sale"?
(5)、What did one of Gina's neighbors do?
举一反三

Young scientist Li Yuehua works at Zhejiang Lab(之江实验室) in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. There is something special about the lab— as Li enters it, she feels out of this world. It brings her to one of the earth's closest neighbors: Mars.

The lab simulates(模拟) the environment, such as the ground and light, on the red planet. In the lab, Li and her team develop and test AI technology to make future Mars rovers(火星车) smarter.

Zhurong, China's first Mars rover, got to Mars in 2021. As Zhurong moves on Mars, it sends information back to the earth. The ground team checks the information before it can move on. The process can take up to 40 minutes.

" Today's rovers are like babies. They can perceive what's around them but they're not able to understand them. Scientists on the earth must tell them how to communicate with the environment," said Li." We hope our AI technology will help Mars rovers learn about the environment and decide where to go on their own."

Li's team needed a better place to do that. Is there anywhere similar to Mars on the earth? The answer was found in the deep desert of Dunhuang, Gansu Province. The team went there in summer and soon started to work. However, it was so hot that several machines stopped working and some team members got sick. Although it was really hard, they didn't give up. Finally, the team developed a better technology.

" An important part of science is facing failure(失败)," Li said." It is like climbing. You face difficulties and try to solve them time after time."
