3、rom the war there. But both at home and at school I had become accustomed to the phrases “before the war“ and “when the war is over“. “Before the war“, apparently, things had been better, though I was too young to understand why, except that there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things
4、like ice-cream and bananas, which I had only heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant little to me. I did not remember what London was like. What I remember now about VE (Victory in Europe) Day was the May evening. After dinner I said I wanted to see the bonfire (大火
5、堆) , so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very high, and somehow people had collected some old clothes to dress the unmistakable figure with the moustache (胡子) they had put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames rose and soon swa
6、llowed the “guy“. Everyone was cheering and shouting, and an old woman came out of her house with two chairs and threw them on the fire to keep it going. I stood beside my father until the fire started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had fought in the First World War

11、t the planet Mars does not appear very welcome to any kind of life. It has very little oxygen and water, the temperature at night is below 50C and winds of 100 miles per hour cause severe dust storms. However, the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it some time in the past,
12、 and it is believed that there is enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melts. Although there is no life on the Mars now, some scientists think that there may have been some form of life long time ago. At that time, the planet had active volcanoes; the atmosphere was thicker a
13、nd warmer; and there was water. In fact, in some ways the Mars may have been similar to the Earth, where life exists. Some people believe that the Mars could support life in the future if the right conditions were produced. The first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap th

It is estimated that the whole process might take between 100,000 and 200,000 years. In the meantime, people could

19、D.A Study of the Climate of the MarsIt is physically impossible for a well-educated, intellectual, or a brave man to make money the chief object of his thoughts; as physically impossible as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them.
