According to legend, the group was invited every year to attend the Conference of the Magical Peach, hosted by Queen Mother of the West.
Instead of riding a cloud across, as they all can do, one of them suggested that they each use their special power to sail across the sea.

When mountains, rivers and something else block the view, you may wonder whether there's still a road ahead. Be optimistic(乐观的). * Chinese people will use two common sayings to tell you that there will always be a road ahead.

The meaning here is that when you drive a chariot to a mountain, there must be a road you can take to go forward, and water currents (水流) will naturally straighten a boat when it goes to pass underneath a bridge. In more common language: Don't worry about what's going to happen in the future; things will work themselves out.
The second saying is from two lines from a poem written by Lu You, a great Southern Song Dynasty historian and poet.
The two lines read shanchong shuifu yiwulu, liu' an huaming youyicun. It translates as, "Mountains roll beyond mountains, and streams double back to streams. I doubt if there's still a road and then, with shady willows and bright flowers, another village suddenly appears ahead. "

For years, kids have dreamed of becoming astronauts. And according to a new survey, many young children 1 they'll travel to space during their lives.
In May, 2024, a British education company 2 RM Technology surveyed more than 1, 000 elementary school children.
And 57% of the 4-to 7-year-olds surveyed said they think they'll get the 3 to visit space. Almost two out of five said they think humans will be able to live on another planet in the next 10 years.
The children were also 4 which planet they'd most like to live on— other than Earth. The most popular answer was Mars, which was 5 by more than a third of kids.
We're probably much more than 10 years away from living on another planet. 6 should we be spending time and money sending people into the solar system at all?
Time for Kids magazine asked some US children about this in 2022.
Elisha Lee, an 11-year-old from Illinois, said humans need to 7 the solar system because we may need to live in space to survive if there are too many people on Earth.
8 , Lino Marrero, a 15-year-old from Texas, said there's no need to send humans when robots can go instead.
But 11-year-old Orion Jean, also from Texas, said sending astronauts into space could encourage young people to become 9 in science and technology.

A tech billionaire took the first private spacewalk, hundreds of kilometers above Earth, on September 12, 2024.
Jared Isaacman teamed up with Elon Musk's SpaceX to test the company's new spacesuits on his flight.
Until now, only professional astronauts working for government agencies had done spacewalks.
They' re high-risk endeavors (尝试), although there isn't always much walking involved. Astronauts at the International Space Station often need to move across the great structure for repairs, always traveling in pairs and carrying gear. Station spacewalks can last seven to eight hours.
But Isaacman's spacewalk was simple and quick. He kept a hand or foot attached to(贴着) the capsule the whole time as he moved his arms and legs. He was outside for about 10 minutes.
SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis also went out into space once Isaacman was back inside.
The two other passengers, Scott Poteet, a former US Air Force pilot, and SpaceX engineer Anna Menon stayed strapped to their seats inside. All the crew members wore SpaceX's new spacesuits to protect themselves as the entire capsule was exposed to the vacuum of space when the hatch(舱门) was opened.
The operation was planned carefully— it had to be. Trying out new spacesuits from a spacecraft new to spacewalking added to the risk.
Isaacman, who is the CEO and founder of the Shift4 credit card-processing company, hasn't said how much he spent on the flight.
It won't have been cheap, but some people are glad that private individuals (私人) are financing space travel, meaning governments send less public money into orbit.

Japanese scientists have created a satellite made of wood, which will be launched into space as early as 2024.
Called LignoSat, the box-shaped satellite is small enough to be held in your hand, but inside it are experiments that will show how well a wooden device can work in space.
LignoSat is the result of a project by Kyoto University and the Sumitomo Forestry company to find new materials for satellites that will be better for our planet.
Until now, all satellites have been made of metal. When they re-enter(再次进入) Earth's atmosphere, they burn up, leaving tiny particles of aluminum(铝颗粒) that could be very bad for our environment, and may even des troy the ozone layer (臭氧层). A wooden satellite, however, would burn up into ash (灰烬), which is far less harmful.
Researchers from Kyoto University tested different kinds of wood— first in laboratories, and then sending three samples to the International Space Station, where they were tested in the vacuum(真空) of space for nearly a year.
The scientists found that the wood was not damaged by being left in space, which the leader of the project, Koji Murata, said was probably because there is no oxygen in space for wood to burn in, and no living creatures that might cause it to rot(腐烂).
Different types of wood were tested, and LignoSat has been made of magnolia wood, which was found to be ▲ .
The launch date for LignoSat has not yet been decided, but it should go up on a US rocket some day in2024. The satellite will then spend six months in space before re-entering the Earth's atmosphere.
If LignoSat works well in space and the project is a success, then wood could be used to make more satellites in the future.
(1)、Japan will launch LignoSat into space because ____A、they would like to explore space using it B、they want to find new materials for satellites C、they don't want to dirty space any longer D、they want to check how strong the wood is(2)、What is the writer's purpose in writing Paragraph 4?A、To warn us not to make satellites made of metal in the future. B、To explain satellites made of metal are harmful to the environment. C、To show it is necessary to make satellites made of wood like Japan. D、To tell us it is necessary to use environmentally friendly materials to make satellites.(3)、Why is the wood not rotted easily in space?A、Because nobody destroys it in space. B、Because there is no atmosphere in space. C、Because there is little oxygen for wood to rot. D、Because there isn't any living creatures in space.(4)、Which of the following can be put into ▲ in Paragraph 7?A、the strongest B、the cheapest C、the heaviest D、the smallest(5)、What is the best title for the passage?A、Japan will launch a wooden satellite as early as 2024 B、Humans will explore better materials to make satellites C、Satellites made of wood will be the future of satellites D、Metal won't be used to make any satellites in the future -

China's Chang'e 6 probe (探测器) returned to Earth on June 25, 2024, with the first-ever rock and soil samples from the far side of the moon. China's space agency called the mission a "complete success" after the probe landed in northern China.
Chinese scientists think the returned samples include 2. 5 million-year-old volcanic rock and other materials that scientists hope will answer questions about geographic differences on the moon's two sides.
The samples could even help scientists to discover how planets are formed, according to the BBC.
The near side is what is seen from Earth, and the far side faces outer space. The far side is also known to have mountains and impact craters, contrasting with the relatively flat areas visible on the near side.
While past US and Soviet missions have collected samples from the moon's near side, the Chinese mission is the first that has collected samples from the far side.
The moon program is part of a growing rivalry (竞争) with the US— still the leader in space exploration—and others, including Japan and India. China has put its own space station in orbit (轨道) and regularly sends astronauts there.
China's leader Xi Jinping sent a message of congratulations to the Chang'e team, saying that it was a "landmark achievement in our country's efforts at becoming a space and technological power".

Mars may be wet under its surface, with enough water hiding in the cracks (裂缝)of underground rocks to form a global ocean, new research suggests.
The findings released on August 12 are based on seismic measurements(地震测量) from NASA's Mars InSightlander, which found more than 1, 300marsquakes before shutting down two years ago.
This water— believed to be 11. 5 kilometers to 20kilometers down in the planet's crust (地壳)— most likely would have come from the surface billions of years ago when Mars had rivers, lakes and possibly oceans, according to the lead scientist, Vashan Wright of the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
But just because water still may be inside Mars does not mean it holds life, Wright said.
"Instead, our findings mean that there are environments that could possibly be habitable (适合居住的), " he said in an email.
If InSight's location on the Elysium Planitia plain near Mars' equator (赤道) stands for the rest of the red planet, the underground water would be enough to fill a global ocean 1 kilometer to 2 kilometers deep, Wright said.
Although the InSigh t lander is no longer working, scientists continue to analyze the data collected from2018 through 2022, in search of more information about Mars.
Wet almost all over more than 3 billion years ago, Mars is thought to have lost its surface water as its atmosphere thinned, turning the planet into the dry, dusty world it is today. Scientists think much of this ancient water escaped out into space or remained buried below the surface.
(1)、The result that Mars has water is based on ____.A、a lot of scientific experiments B、the weather forecast of the lander C、seismic measurements from the lander D、the pictures of Mars taken by an old lander(2)、What is the writer's purpose in writing the third paragraph?A、To list some signs of water on the surface of Mars. B、To explain why there was so much water on Mars. C、To introduce the importance of much water on Mars. D、To show there is too much water on the surface of Mars.(3)、What can we infer about Mars according to the fourth and fifth paragraphs?A、People can't live if there is not any water. B、There must be life on Mars because there is water. C、People have mastered enough knowledge on Mars. D、It's possible for people to live on Mars in the future.(4)、The writer may agree .①Mars lost its surface water because of thin atmosphere
②Mars has become a planet that looks like a dry, dusty world
③scientists will use InSight lander to continue studying Mars
④the water buried below the surface of Mars has a long history

When I was a young boy we lived just down the road from a public swimming pool. During the summer months I would be there almost every day swimming and playing for hours. You could buy a cup of coca cola for 15 cents and a bag of chips was only ten cents. Often Mom or Nana would give me a quarter before I left so I could have a snack there. That is when I would try the sofa cushions(靠垫).
*I would pull them out and stretch(伸长) my little arms deep into the crevices(缝隙) of the sofa hoping to find some pocket money that had fallen out of someone's pockets. Then I would run off to the swimming pool with change in my hand and happiness in my heart.
It is only recently, however, that I realized I found change there a lot during the summertime. I remember looking between the sofas in the winter a few times and not even finding a penny. Although I never saw them, I think that Mom, Nana, Dad, or all three of them would drop change down there for me to find. Of course, they never said a word about it even after I had grown up. I guess some secrets are too good to share.
You get no thanks for it, at least not to your face. Yet, it fills your heart with happiness.
A. Home is where the heart is.
B. The best thing of all was they had a shop there.
C. Family is where life begins and love never ends.
