But on the 15th of each month, Michael wheels his old-fashioned sewing machine to one of the poorest neighborhoods in San Francisco.For almost 15 years, Michael has made this trip. But why would he ever do this? His only purpose is to help others in the area, where many people are poor or homeless. He sets up shop on a corner of a street and offers his services as a tailor（裁缝）for free. He is there to sew and mend any clothing people bring him.He’s made many friends in the area from his kind acts.

Also, Michael has worked with an international group called Future Farmers. Since 1998, they have been helping farmers solve food problems.All of Michael’s actions have helped him understand things he never thought he would. “My small act is mostly just a gesture,” Michael told USA Today. “I think what’s more important is the example of taking part, being a citizen and acting outside of what is normal.”( ) 36.

At first, when Mars showed signs of having life, everyone was excited. The idea has inspired many films and stories including The Martian (《火星救援》), which shows a man struggling to survive on Mars. But would it actually be possible to live there?While the idea of living on Mars is great, the reality does not look as good. Mars does not have a friendly atmosphere (大气) for humans. There is very little oxygen (氧气) there, and because of its distance from the sun, it is also very cold. The temperature on Mars can be -62 C on average. This is much too cold for humans.However, scientists say it might be possible to live there without an atmosphere. Mars has a similar amount of daytime to Earth, which means there’s enough sunlight to grow plants inside safe buildings. However, they would have to grow in soil from Earth. Mars does not have a strong enough atmosphere to stop the radiation (辐射) from space, which makes it dangerous to grow things in the soil.Also, the radiation causes problems for our health. One way we could survive the radiation and cold temperatures would be to build homes under the ground or within the rocks (岩石) on the planet. These would give humans the heat and protection the planet doesn’t have.Although it’s a long time before we would be able to live on Mars, NASA（美国国家航空航天局）is hoping to make some progress within the next 20 years.( ) 40.

What does the second to last paragraph mainly talk about?A. What problems the radiation causes.B. How to avoid bad conditions on Mars.C. How to grow plants on Mars.D.

You can add elements (部件) to show your own creativity.” In her work Hug, she added an antenna (天线) onto the backpack of the robot.But she only makes models only dur ing summer vacation. “It’s a big project. There are many things to do like assembling (组装) and painting. It takes me one month to make one robot.
