Life on Mars would be very different from life on the Earth. It would be also amazing (amaze). There are many challenges we need to face. The journey to Mars is long and dangerous. The temperature on Mars can vary (变化) greatly, from very cold at night to relatively (相对地) warm during the day. We also need to find ways to get enough water and food. Growing food on Mars is a big challenge. The soil on Mars is different from that on the Earth, and we need to develop special methods to grow crops. Food on Mars would most probably (probable) be in the form of pills, so food on the Earth should be much tastier (tasty). It's important for us to prepare (prepare) for the challenges of living on Mars and make it a sustainable (可持续的) place to live. Scientists have worked (work) on a project about Mars over the past two years. They hope to make some new discoveries (discover). I often watch space-related programmes. A speech contest was held (hold) about life on Mars in our class the other day. I have been interested in space since I was a child. I was so excited to take part in it!

The world's longest-ever study to study happiness was completed by scientists at Harvard Medical School in 2023. After so many years, the research found that happy people all shared one common quality: They had good relationships.
In 1938, the Harvard Study of Adult Development started a research project to find out what made people grow healthily. The study firstly focused on 724 people, but later expanded (扩大) to include more than three generations (代) of their children. In all, more than 2,000 people were studied. The results were published in a book, The Good Life and How to Live It: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study on Happiness.
"The researchers found that having strong, positive relationships made people feel the happiest. The relationships could be with a partner, another family member, or a friend. The reason why relationships may be the key to happiness is that they help people manage stress," said Dr Robert Waldinger, the study director. In addition, the study concluded that a challenging life was often a happy one because people got satisfaction from doing hard tasks, such as raising children or opening a business. It was also OK not to feel happy all the time, the study found.
A Researchers followed the study participants throughout their lives, starting when they were teenagers. B They collected information about their physical and mental health, including exercise levels and top worries. The scientists met with the participants. C Study participants also rated (评估) their lives in surveys and were given physical examinations that included brain scans and blood tests. D
Dr Waldinger said that some common beliefs about happiness didn't hold up when they were studied. For example, people with plenty of money weren't necessarily happier. "You can't buy happiness," he said.
