A
Wales is home to some of the UK's most beautiful drives.Narrow lanes criss-cross the land. meaning travel can
be slow-but there's no need to rush.
The Coastal Way
This route(路线）covers the entire length of Cardigan Bay, and spoils travelers with its remote beaches and
charming seaside towns.
Comb the sand for fossils,shells at Aberdaron Beach,and then hit the road,heading cast toward Porthmadog.
Here you can hop on a heritage steam train, a relic of the region's mining history,to give Snowdonia's skyline your
undivided attention.
The Cambrian Way
The Cambrian Way, which cuts north to south through the heart of Wales, is a fantastic place, thanks to its
patchwork fields, dense forests and rolling, sheep-dotted hills.
The route becomes increasingly wild and rough as it weaves north into Powys. Spend the night in Rhayader,
and you'll need plenty of energy for hiking or mountain biking along the trails.
The North Wales Way
Spanning Wales' short but scenic north coast, this route offers road trippers a chance to encounter Welsh
history, language and culture in a splendid setting.
Head west through the uncrowded Clwydian Hills until you reach Ruthin, a little town brimming with
history,where you can see its restored castle, century-spanning museum and Victorian Ruthin Gaol. Border Country
Tracing the dotted line that separates England and Wales on a map,this border-hugging route will take you to
some of Wales' most underrated sites slowly, if you stick to the narrow back roads.

A 293-million-mile journey of the NASA Perseverance rover (探测器)to Mars ended successfully on February
18th, 2021, with a picture-perfect landing inside the Jezero Crater. The car-sized, six-wheeled rover, nicknamed
Percy, is the US space agency’s biggest and most advanced explorer to date. Its primary mission is to search for
signs of ancient microbial(微生物的)life on Mars.
Landing on Mars is extremely tricky. The Red Planet’s gravitational(引力的) pull causes approaching
spacecraft to go faster to high speeds, while its thin atmosphere—just one percent that of Earth’s—does little to
help slow it down as it approaches the surface.
The scientists had to reduce Percy’s 12,000 mph speed to a safe landing speed of less than five mph—in just
six and a half minutes. The target entry angle also had to be a precise 12 degrees—any steeper, and the spacecraft
would burn up; any flatter, and it would get lost in space. It is no wonder that the final approach is often referred to
as the “seven minutes of terror”.
Upon attaining a manageable speed, Percy briefly flew over the Martian surface to seek out the perfect landing
spot. Its complex map-reading system rapidly scanned the area and matched it with maps in its database to find the
best location.
The NASA scientists will spend the next two months testing Percy’s scientific instruments. Once ready, the
rover will begin to carry out its mission.
“Perseverance is the smartest robot ever made, but confirming that microbial life once existed carries an
unusually large burden of proof,” said Lori Glaze, director of NASA’s Planetary Science Division.“ While we’ll
learn a lot with the great instruments we have aboard the rover, it may very well require the far more well-equipped
laboratories and delicate instruments back here on Earth to tell us whether our samples(样本)carry evidence that
Mars once harbored life.”

A. The space. B. The area.
C. The system. D. The surface.
7. What can be inferred from Lori Glaze’s words?
A. Instruments aboard the rover are not quite reliable.
B. Perseverance is able to collect enough evidence needed.
C. Man still has a long way to go to prove there was life on Mars.
D. Samples of Mars will be returned soon to the labs on the Earth.

Elon Musk isn’t content with electric cars, shooting people into orbit and populating Mars. He also wants to
get inside your brain.
His goal is to develop devices that can provide treatment to neural (神经的) diseases and that may one day be
powerful enough to put humanity on an equal footing with possible future super intelligent computers.
Not that it’s anywhere close to that yet.
In a video Friday obviously aimed at seeking new employees, Musk showed off the second version of the
Neuralink, a device about the size of a large coin. It’s designed to be put in a person’s head. An earlier version of
the device has to be placed behind an ear like a huge hearing aid.
But the young company is far from having a commercial product, which would involve complex human trials
and governmental approval. Friday’s video showed three pigs. One, named Gertrude, had a Neuralink device in its
brain.
Musk, a founder of both the electric car company Tesla Motors and the space-exploration firm SpaceX, has
