School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything at school, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} teacher can't teach his students everything they want to know. His work is{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (show) his students how to learn. He teaches them {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to read and think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students.

It is always much {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (important) to know how to study by oneself. It is quite{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (easily) to learn something, but it is difficult to use it to solve problems. Great {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (invent) do not get everything from school, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  they still invent many things and change the world a lot.

How can the inventors do all of this? One of the answers is that they know how to study. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  fact, a lot of things are not learnt in the classroom. They get a lot of knowledge by {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (read) outside school. They work hard and never give up all {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they)lives.

Lockheed Martin, an American space system company(空间系统公司) in Maryland, has found a really cool way to inspire the young kids of today to the research fields in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM).

It may look like a common yellow bus, but all the magic happens once you get inside. "Mars Experience Bus" is part of Lockheed Martin's new "Generation Beyond" national education programme. It gives kids a chance to join in and study what goes on outside of our home planet. The bus offers a virtual reality(VR, 虚拟现实)experience making the teenagers feel like they are driving on Mars.

The VR experience was developed by using software(软件) created for today's best video games, so you can imagine the picture shown is top level. The kids do seem really excited to see the bus take a virtual trip on the red planet and search unknown places. It's certainly a great way of learning about the universe(宇宙) by virtual reality working on a common bus.

The Lockheed Martin's bus will start a tour in the United States to allow kids from different parts of the country to take a ride in it. The "Generation Beyond" project also includes an app on the phone for providing real-time information about weather reports for Mars, and there's also a free deep space class for middle school teachers and students.

How can we practice our {#blank#}1{#/blank#}English?

The first and the most important thing is to believe {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.You should always be full of confidence，or you won't be able to improve your English.You should often encourage yourself，"Come on！Don't be afraid！"You should never lose heart and never give {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

Maybe you are afraid of losing face，but you should think since we are students and we're {#blank#}4{#/blank#}，there's no need to worry {#blank#}5{#/blank#}anything.You must always be active in practice.It's no problem that your pronunciation and intonation (语调) can't be as good {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the native people because we are Chinese，and we don't have chances to live in {#blank#}7{#/blank#}countries and talk with the people there.But you must know that the main way to study English is to make ourselves understood and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}other people.You should believe that native speakers will not laugh at you，but {#blank#}9{#/blank#}they will encourage you.So if you {#blank#}10{#/blank#}brave enough，you'll certainly make rapid progress in your spoken English.

Don't be shy or afraid！Just have a try.
