He was struggling to tie his shoes. I was struggling with whether I should help him. I did, and he was grateful. "Thank you," he said. "I'm glad I could help. I just thought it would be easier for me to reach," I said. He was a disabled man, and forced to look down most of the time. His arms and legs were twisted terribly, and he couldn't do what the rest of us would consider easy tasks. He always managed to look up to see how you reacted to his words, however. He had a big smile, making me feel comfortable. I was still on my knees by his wheelchair. " Nice shoes," he said. "Thanks. No one ever complimented me on them before," I said. "No one has the same view of the world as I do," he replied. "Tell me about the world as you see it," I said smiling. "Most people can see if someone is comfortable with them or not in their eyes. I see it in their feet." he said. "If people keep moving their feet, I just let them go, because I know they're impatient with me. I don't want to make people uncomfortable. "What about me? I asked. "I could see your _ And then you came down to my level. I was the one who was nervous." he said. "I don't normally have someone look me in the eye."

We learn that the disabled man _ . A) had great difficulty looking after himself B) always asked people for help C) couldn't have a big smile D) liked to talk about people's shoes

FOR people who are interested in space, nothing is more exciting than the idea of living on other planets. That might be why the movie The Martian (<<>> ) is so popular. It shows an astronaut struggling to live on Mars. But would it actually be possible to live on the Red Planet? While the idea of living on Mars is great, the reality does not look as good. Mars does not have a friendly atmosphere for humans. There is very little oxygen there. And because of its distance from the sun, it is also very cold. The temperature on Mars can be -62 degrees on average. This is much too cold for humans. However, scientists say it might be possible to live there even without a good atmosphere. Daytime on Mars is almost the same as Earth's. It 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 coming from space, which makes it dangerous to grow things in the soil. The radiation is also bad for our health. If we want to live there healthily, we need to build our homes under the ground or within the rocks on the planet. This would protect humans from the radiation and also some heat. When could we actually live on Mars? NASA is hoping to make some progress within the next 20 years. It's possible to grow plants on Mars because _ . A) there is enough sunlight B) the soil is good on Mars C) it has a good underground atmosphere D) its temperature changes very little

Q: Some advice : (1) Always play in a safe place. A park is a safe place because there are no cars or trucks. But do not talk to anyone you do not know. Never go with a stranger into a motor car. (2) Before crossing the road, stop and look both ways. Look left, look right, look left again. (3) Keep away from houses or building that are being built or knocked down. Something might fall on your head, or you might cut yourself on broken grass. (4) Medicines or pills can be dangerous. Never swallow any pills or medicines you find in the cupboard. (5) Wear a life jacket whenever you go out in a boat. Even if you are not in the open sea and the water is not deep, you should have your life jacket on. It's easy to fall out of a boat.
