At only 9 years old, Lesia Cartelli was badly burnt in a gas explosion at her grandparents’
house. The burns were so severe that her own grandfather didn’t recognize her. Lesia could
have remained withdrawn for her whole life. But now, this woman uses her painful past to help
other burn victims find healing(治愈). “My life got better when I started to look at my life as a
gift,” Lesia said.
Lesia started Angel Faces, a national nonprofit organization offering week-long supportive
retreats(休养所) for adolescent female burn victims. These retreats, for girls from 11-19 years
of age, provide meetings to help the girls heal emotionally.
“She’s like a ball of sunshine,” said Casi Smith, a 17-year-old with burns on her face she
received as a baby. “Looking at her, I can see everything she’s been through. But here she is;
instead of hiding, she’s helping people. To me, that is amazing. I don’t know if I could ever do
that.”
As a woman burned in a gas explosion, Lesia is able to connect with these young ladies on
a personal level, as someone who knows what they’re going through. Her heart for helping
others motivates fellow burn victims to take control of their circumstances.
All of these women are miracles. They are blessed to have survived horrible accidents
most of us can’t even imagine. Yet, surviving the incident is just the beginning. Lesia describes
the period following the actual event causing the burns as a “trauma cocoon”. And that’s
where she steps in. “I didn’t want any other girl to go through what I had gone through,” she
says. “We offer a place where the girls can suffer less pain and begin to really heal.”
4. What made Lesia’s life become better after the accident?
A. Her grandfather’s medical help. B. Angel Faces’ supportive retreats.
C. The change of her attitude to life. D. Other burn victims’ healing stories.
5. What do we learn about Lesia and Angel Faces?

Around 50 Mars missions have been launched globally since 1960. Yet more than half of
them have failed to reach the planet. So after China’s Mars probe—Tianwen-1, was launched
on July 23, Thursday last year, there was an anxious wait to learn its fate.
The news that the craft carrying exploration rover Zhurong landed safely on the surface of
the planet on Saturday has therefore been met with both relief and celebration in the country.
That the landing was carried out exactly as planned has made China the latest member,
after the United States and Russia, of the club of the world’s pioneering Martin explorers, and
shows the reliability of the relevant technologies that China has developed on its own. Though
the first Mars mission of the country, it was a brave undertaking: to complete orbiting, landing
and roving in one single mission.
It is that can-do spirit of self-reliance（自力更生） that has played a key role in China’s
scientific and technological development in recent decades despite some foreign countries’
attempts to prevent its progress. China made its early breakthroughs in rocket and space
technologies with its own scientists, engineers and scientific workers starting from the 1960s
under very difficult conditions when the country remained largely a backward agricultural
country and faced foreign blocks of technology and materials.
However, the country has made the most of what it had over the past more than six
decades, making continuous efforts to go ahead in the aerospace（航天）cause. Thanks to the
hard work and even sacrifices of generations of scientific workers, China has laid a solid
foundation for the fast development of its aerospace industry, and has achieved one milestone
after another in its space endeavors.
In the human space odyssey, China, with enthusiasm, diligence and willingness to
cooperate, will help promote humankind to travel faster and farther.
8. What’s the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a kind of astronomical phenomenon.
B. To recall the development of China’s aerospace exploration.
C. To boost Chinese people’s confidence in aerospace exploration.
D. To state the difficulties China faced in aerospace development.
