Tom was a regular figure on the school football field, and his skills were so impressive despite the worn-out sports shoes he wore. Off the field, his life was hard for various reasons. His mother had been ill in bed for several years, and his father recently lost his job, leaving the family even poorer. However, Tom never let his difficult situations reduce his love for football.

One day, the coach announced to the players that there would be a football match, and all players were required to wear proper sports uniforms (制服). Tom was worried. He stared at his worn shoes, wondering how he could possibly ask his parents for money they didn't have. That night, he lay awake, practicing making excuses in his head—maybe he'd pretend to be sick. But deep inside, he knew he couldn't do that. However, the thought of missing the game and letting his team down troubled him.

During a break the next day. Tom just sat alone, staring at the ground, while the others talked excitedly with each other. Jack, the team captain, finally cornered him after practice. "What's up. Tom? There seems to be something wrong with you." At first, Tom hesitated, but Jack's genuine (真诚的) concern broke through his pride. "It's the uniform," he said in a low voice. "I can't afford it." And more than that, he explained to Jack the difficult situation his family was in. Hearing that, Jack just patted (轻拍) him on the shoulder without saying a word.

That day, the team gathered without Tom after practice. "We can't let this happen," Jack said. "Tom's the best player we've got; we must do something to help him and his family." They tried their best to come up with ideas to collect money and decided on a car wash.

On Saturday morning, the school parking lot was totally changed. Signs reading "Football for Tom — Wash a Car. Change a Life" were everywhere, and the team worked tirelessly on the cars and shared Tom's story with anyone who'd listen. By evening, the team had raised more than enough for the uniform.

Scientific discovery

. Missions to Mars, the Moon, and beyond provide insights into planetary formation, the potential for life on other planets, and the origins of the universe. For example, studying the atmospheres of exoplanets helps scientists assess their habitability.

Technological advancements

Space exploration has led to the development of numerous technologies that have practical applications on the Earth., and the technology applied in satellite navigation systems was originally developed for space missions and is now used in everyday life.

Research conducted in space can help solve pressing global issues, such as climate change and food security. For example, studying how to grow food in space can provide insights into agricultural practices on the Earth, especially in extreme conditions.

Economic growth and job creation

The space industry is a significant driver of economic growth, creating high-paying jobs in STEM fields., and the growing space sector is expected to create even more employment opportunities. Additionally, the potential for space mining could lead to new economic opportunities.

In conclusion, the advantages of space exploration are far-reaching. Beyond the field of scientific discovery, it drives significant progress in technology, fuels economic expansion, and develops international cooperation. Moreover, space exploration inspires the imagination and expectation of younger generations..

A. Addressing global challenges

B. Adapting to extreme conditions

C. For example, satellite communications have come from space research

D. Together, these elements shape a brighter and more informed future for all

E. Some companies hire thousands of skilled workers to carry out space research

"Ordinary spinach plants can be found everywhere and easy to store; like other plants, they normally take in carbon dioxide gas," the scientists say. "But actually they can sense small changes of soil and water potential and respond to them. If we tap into this point, there is a wealth of information to access." That's what the scientists use to power their tiny experiments.

For this experiment, the scientists placed two different kinds of tiny nano-materials into spinach plants. To get them into the plants, the scientists put a liquid containing them on the bottom of the plant's leaves. As part of its natural process, the spinach plant pulls water through its roots and into its leaves. If the water contains certain chemicals used in bombs, the tiny sensors in the leaves make the nano-tubes, which, along with the sensors, were placed into the spinach plant before by the scientists, produce a slightly special kind of light. By watching the plant constantly using a camera attached to a cheap computer, the scientists set up a system that can send a warning email if chemicals from explosives are found in the water.

The computer the scientists used is about the size of a playing card. They say that in the future, their system could even use a cell phone with its camera changed slightly. Discovering chemicals used in bombs is just one of the many uses the researchers are exploring. They have used such plants to discover several other dangerous chemicals as well. From their point of view, there's no doubt that in the future, such systems could give farmers specific information about the health of the land and water on their farms.

For the elderly George, art is something he is crazy about. Art gets him up in the morning, and he often works a full day, painting in the studio in his home. His home in Cork City is full of paintings of landscapes, portraits and scenic spots, including an attractive description of Ross Castle in Killarney. His desire is to give lessons in it to senior citizens, preferably through the medium of television. His thinking is that TV art will attract a relatively big audience. And there are practical considerations. George is in good condition apart from suffering from a bad back, which makes it difficult for him to teach a class as he will have to bend down to see the artworks and give advice to students.

George is now eager to appeal (呼吁) to television producers to broadcast his art classes on TV. He suggests that the filming can take place outdoors in Crosshaven during the summer months, as he frequently paints in the sailing village, attracting the attention of passers-by to his artistic skills.

George believes he has much to offer older individuals who may feel alone and lack a sense of purpose in life. Therefore, he is enthusiastic about sharing his expertise with senior citizens, some of whom may discover a talent for painting. The focus is on developing inclusiveness among the elderly. George even does not seek financial support for his services, and he thinks that his effort will likely assist in reducing government health expenses, as it can serve as an outlet for senior citizens.

In a small, cozy town, there lived a kind-hearted old man named Mr. Johnson. He had a simple life, spending his days in a small cottage surrounded by a beautiful garden. One sunny morning, while taking a walk in the local animal shelter, his life took an unexpected turn.

Among the cages filled with various animals, Mr. Johnson's eyes landed on a small, shivering puppy. The puppy had big, sad eyes and a coat that was matted and dirty. Without hesitation, Mr. Johnson decided to adopt (收养) the little dog, whom he named Max.

At first, Max was extremely timid (胆小的). He would cower (蜷缩) in the corner of the room whenever there was a loud noise. But Mr. Johnson was patient. He spent hours sitting beside Max, gently stroking (抚摸) his fur and talking to him in a soft voice. Slowly but surely, Max began to trust his new owner.

As the days turned into weeks, Max grew stronger and more energetic. He would follow Mr. Johnson everywhere, whether it was to the garden to tend to the flowers or to the mailbox to pick up the daily mail. One evening, Mr. Johnson fell ill suddenly. He collapsed (倒下) in the living room, and Max immediately sensed that something was wrong.
