On May 15,Zhang Rongqiao wiped tears from his eyes as China's Mars rover (巡视器) Zhurong landed safely on Mars. "I was so excited," said Zhang.

As the chief designer (总设计师) of China's Tianwen Ⅰ Mars mission (任务),Zhang was chosen by the journal Nature on Dec 16 as one of the top 10 people "who helped shape science" in 2021.Under Zhang,China made a huge step in interplanetary (行星向的) exploration. "I got a taste of the old Chinese saying ﹣ it takes 10 years to sharpen a good sword," Zhang told Nature.

In the Mars mission,Zhang led a team of thousands of researchers.The team was not only responsible for technical work like launches and flight control,but also for scientific research on Mars.

There were many difficulties.They knew little about the strange and complex environment of Mars. "We may not even know what we do not know about," Zhang told Nature.

During the process,Zhang played a key part in the decision to send an orbiter (轨道飞行器),a lander (着陆器) and a rover to Mars together in one shipment (运输) ﹣ making China the first country to do so. "That's a big leap (飞跃) because China is doing in a single go (what NASA took decades (数十年) to do)," said Roberto Orosei from the Institute of Radioastronomy of Bologna in Italy.

Zhang also made the important decision to land the rover on Utopia Planitia,where there are special landforms (地形) for scientists to study.He hopes that the mission can do as much research as possible and bring back "rich" information.

"The buck stops with him (他敢作敢当)," said David Flannery,an astrobiologist (天体生物学家) at Queensland University of Technology in Australia.

Did you know that humans aren't the only species (物种) that use language? Bees communicate by dancing. Whales talk to each other by singing. And some apes talk to humans by using American Sign Language. 

A female gorilla(大猩猩), Koko, was born at the San Francisco Zoo on July 4th, 1971. Koko learned sign language from her trainer, Dr. Penny Patterson. Patterson began teaching sign language to Koko in 1972, when Koko was one year old. Koko must have been a good student, because two years later she moved onto the Stanford University campus with Dr. Patterson. Koko continued to learn on the campus until 1976. That's when she began living full﹣time with Patterson's group, the Gorilla Foundation. Patterson and Koko's relationship has been very close ever since. 

Dr. Patterson says that Koko has mastered sign language and known over 1,000 words, and that Koko makes up new words. For example, Koko didn't know the sign for ring, so she signed the words finger and bracelet(手镯). Dr. Patterson thinks that this shows meaningful and constructive use of language. 

Not everyone agrees with Dr. Patterson. Some argue that apes(类人猿) like Koko do not understand the meaning of what they are doing. Some people who don't believe that say that these apes are just performing complex tricks (戏法). For example, if Koko points to an apple and signs red or apple, Dr. Patterson will give her an apple. They argue that Koko does not really know what the sign apple means. She only knows that that if she makes the right movement, one which Dr. Patterson has shown her, then she gets an apple. The argument is not solved, but one thing is for certain: Koko is an extraordinary ape. 

It seems like Patterson and Koko have a good relationship, but not everyone agrees with it. Some people believe that Patterson is humanizing the ape. They think that apes should be left in the most natural state possible. Even Dr. Patterson struggles with these feelings. When she was asked if her findings could be duplicated by another group of scientists, she said, "We don't think that it would be ethical (道德的) to do again. " She went on to argue that animals should not be kept in such unnatural environment. 

As for the future, Dr. Patterson and the Gorilla Foundation would love to get Koko to an ape preserve (保护区) in Maui, but they are having trouble getting the land. So unless you have a few million dollars to give, Koko's going to be spending her time in Woodland, California with Dr. Patterson. Koko probably doesn't mind that. If she moved to Hawaii, she'd have to give up her Facebook page and Twitter feed, and she's got like 50 thousand "likes". Some may deny (否认) that she knows sign language, but nobody says that she doesn't know social networking.
