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 Lesia could have remained withdrawn for her whole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’s upportive 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?
A. Angel Faces provided help for male burn victims
B. Lesia started Angel Faces with the help of Casi Smith.
C. Victims received Angel Faces’ professional medical help.
D. Lesia’s experiences inspired many young female burn victims.
6. What do the words “trauma cocoon” underlined in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. The time when one feels painful and withdrawn.
B. The quiet place where one can have great fun.
C. The physical injury that can be easily removed.
D. The challenging time that pushes one forward.
7. Which of the following can best describe Lesia?
A. Powerful and caring. B. Creative and adventurous.
C. Selfish but brave. D. Shy but independent.
C
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.
