I was on a bus one March evening.The driver didn’t   36   to start the bus soon because it was not yet   37  .A middle-aged woman got on.Tired and sad,she told her story   38  ,not to anyone in particular.On her way to the station,half of her

  39   was stolen.The other half was hidden under her blouse,so she   40   still had some left.A few minutes later,she stopped crying,but still looked   41  .

When all the seats were taken,the driver started the engine.The conductor began to collect fares(车费).When she came to an old man in worn-out clothes,he  42  that he had spent all his money when he had accidentally got on a wrong bus and now he was trying to go home.On hearing this,she ordered the old man to   43   the bus.The old man was almost in tears as he   44   her to let him take the bus home.The driver took the conductor’s side and repeated the conductor’s   45  .

The woman was watching the incident.  46   the driver and the conductor raised their voices at the old man,she interfered(干预).

“Stop   47   him!Can’t you see he’s only trying to get home?”

“He doesn’t have any money!” the driver   48  .

“Well,that’s no   49   to throw him off the bus,”she insisted.

Then she reached inside her blouse,took out her   50   money,and handed it to the conductor.“Here’s his fare and mine.Just stop giving him a   51   time.”

All heads turned to the woman.“It’s only money,”she shrugged.

She rode the rest of the way home   52   a happy smile,with the money she’d lost earlier   53  .

On the road of life,the help of strangers can   54   our loads and lift our spirits.How much sweeter the   55   will be when we make it a little smoother for others!

While all my classmates seem to be crazy about a one-way ticket to Mars(火星),

I’d rather say Mars is totally unsuitable for human existence.People won’t have enough food supplies there,and the terrible environment would make it impossible for them to live a long life.Besides,the journey won’t be safe.Can anybody explain to me just why people would go to Mars,never to return?

Steve Minear,UK

Here are the things you can think of:the desire to explore a foreign and unique environment,the excitement of being the first humans to open up a new world,the expectation of fame and glory....For scientists there is another reason.Their observations and research will probably lead to great scientific achievements.

Donal Trollop,Canada

There are already too many people on the Earth.I think that sometime before the end of the century,there will be a human colony(殖民地) on Mars.It will happen when people finally realize that two-way trips to the red planet Mars are unnecessary.Most of the danger of space flight is in the launches(发射) and landings.Cutting the trip home would therefore reduce the danger of accidents,save a lot of money,and open the way to building an everlasting human settlement in another world.

Enough supplies can be sent on ahead.And every two years more supplies and more people will be sent to the new colony.Mars has all the materials for a colony to produce or make everything it needs,and Mars is far more pleasant than the other planets in the outer space.

Paul Davies,USA
