Do you know how Uncle Sam became the popular symbol of the United States?
Some historians believe that he is based on a real person，Samuel Wilson．During the War of 1812，Wilson sold meat to American troops. Wilson labeled
the meat barrels（桶）US．This meant that it was for the army．At that time，US was not used to mean“United States”．An officer asked what the US on the barrels meant．A soldier replied，“United States”，meaning Samuel Wilson．
The Uncle Sam image（形象）today shows a man with a beard，a stars and stripes（星条旗）top hat，and a suit．Thomas Nast created this image in about 1838．It represented the government in Nast's political cartoons．Some people believe that Nast based his image on Dan Rice，a popular entertainer．Rice performed while wearing a top hat and suit．
Others think it was James M．Flagg that drew the most famous image of Uncle Sam in 1917， during World War I．It shows a serious man pointing a finger at the viewer and says“United States”．Flagg drew this enduring image to encourage Americans to join the U.S．Army．It has been used for this purpose ever since．

Charlie Bucket，the beloved hero of British writer Roald Dahl’s evergreen 1964 children’s story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ,is like all of Dahl’s readers．We may come from richer or poorer families than Charlie does，but we all share his desire to win that golden ticket to explore the wonders of Mr Willy Wonka’s candy factory．   ．   ．
Mr Wonka is the most famous chocolate maker in the world．His chocolates
are not just sweet and delicious but little works of art. He makes hot ice creams for cold days and candies that change color every 10 seconds as you suck on them.
So, naturally, when Mr Wonka announces a competition to visit his famous chocolate factory, very kid in the world is wildly excited. To win a place you have get a ticket. To get a ticket you have to be lucky, finding a golden ticket beneath the silver foil(箔) when you buy a bar of Wonka's chocolate.
Charlie wants a ticket more than anyone. But his family is so poor that they have no money to spare for candy. Charlie watches on the news as each lucky kid gets a ticket.  When his grandpa slips Charlie some money and tells him to buy a Wonka bar, it seems that the story will change. But no, there's no ticket in the bar.
But Charlie's luck does change. Against all the odds(逆境),when he has given up all hope,he finds himself holding the last golden ticket.
So Charlie，along with other kids，starts his magical trip.  Inside, there are more amazing things than you could ever imagine.
People love to read about the downtrodden(受压迫的)hero who comes out on top. but Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is much more than a simple story.“Dahl's words.,wild  imagination and menacing(令人讨厌的)adult characters all combine to make his work ring so true ,”commented Publishers Weekly. “The way he celebrates the innocence of childhood never goes out of style.”

Different  customs  can  often  cause misunderstandings and even trouble.  So an article in the Daily Mai highlighted taboos in certain countries. Let’s take a look.

It seems that people are gradually losing their smartness as smartphones become increasingly important assistants in their lives.  As we rely too much on technology instead of our brains, many people have lost three basic abilities.
The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers. Because phone numbers are stored in smartphone contacts, there's now no need to dial a number or look at it again. This is fine until you need to call someone for help, only to find your phone is not around.
And some people may also have lost their sense of direction because navigation apps can guide people anywhere they want. People get so dependent on them that when they can't use their smartphones, they get lost and anxious.
But the worst lost skills may be social ones, meaning that some people are becoming socially inept(无能的)People often bury themselves in their smartphones. As we're too absent-minded by what's happening in the virtual(虚拟的)some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can't even distinguish whether a person is happy or not.
Last August, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, studied 51 students aged 11 and 12 who had over five hours' screen time every day. Their task was to tell the emotions of 48 pictures of faces that were happy, sad, angry or scared.
The children made an average of 14. 02 mistakes at the  beginning.  But after a five-day camp without electronic products, they made only 9.41 mistakes on average.
Luckily, people still have a chance to get these abilities back.  You should try to keep your parents' numbers in mind for emergencies. You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores , which will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost.  And the easiest solution to social skill loss is to take a break from electronic products.
The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that            .

The experiment by researchers indicated that  without electronic  products, one could        .

Overusing smartphones, people will probably       according to the passage

NASA is developing the capabilities needed to send humans to an asteroid（小行星）by 2025 and then Mars in the 2030s—goals outlined in NASA’s official documents 2014．
Mars is a rich destination tor scientific discovery and robotic and human exploration as we expand our presence into the solar system．Future exploration could uncover evidence of life，answering one of the fundamental mysteries：Does life exist beyond Earth?
While robotic explorers have studied Mars for more than 40 years，NASA’s path for the human exploration of Mars begins in low-Earth orbit aboard the International Space Station．Astronauts on the orbiting laboratory are helping us prove many of the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions（任务）to deep space，including Mars．The space station also advances our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronaut health．
Our next step is deep space，where NASA will send a robotic mission to catch and redirect an asteroid to orbit the moon．Astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft will explore the asteroid in the 2020s，returning to Earth with samples．This experience in human spaceflight beyond low-Earth orbit will help NASA test new systems，which we’ll need to send cargo（货物）as part of human missions to Mars．Beginning in FY 2018，NASA’s powerfull Space Launch System（SLS）rocket will enable these "proving ground" missions to test new technologies．Human missions to Mars will rely on Orion and an evolved version of SLS that will be the most powerful launch vehicle ever flown。
A lot of robotic spacecraft and rovers（探测器）already are on and around Mars，greatly increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way of future human explorers．The Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover measured radiation on the way to Mars and is sending back radiation data from the surface．This data will help us plan how to protect the astronauts who will explore Mars．Future missions like the Mars 2020 rover，seeking signs of past life，also will demonstrate new technologies that could help astronauts survive on Mars．
Engineers and scientists around the country are working hard to develop the technologies astronauts will use to one day live and work on Mars，and safely return home from the next giant leap for humanity．NASA also is a leader in a Global Exploration Roadmap，working with international partners and the U．S．commercial space industry with human missions to the surface of Mars as the driving goal．

It can be learnt from the first three paragraphs that        .

The Orion Spacecraft_________.
