Donachy enjoys train journeys because _____.

This is the question that a new science fiction (科幻 ) programme, Alien Pla (《異形星球》 ), tries to answer. In the 94minute programme, two robots explore (探索 ) a fictional pla. The pla, Darwin IV, has two suns, and is smaller and hotter than Earth. It seems likely that Darwin IV was covered with large oceans a few million years ago, just like Earth. But because of climate (氣候 ) changes, the oceans disappeared. Darwin IV is also home to many alien plants and animals. The robots look at the land and air on the pla, and then send information to a team of scientists on Earth. The programme is based on the book Expedition by Wayne Barlowe. However, Alien Pla is not just normal science fiction, because it is based on real scientific information. A team of designers and scientists carefully 7C 教育資源網(wǎng)( 最全的免費(fèi)教育資源網(wǎng)站,按教材詳細(xì)分類 ( 域名釋義: 7c 學(xué)科網(wǎng) ) 批量購買請(qǐng)聯(lián)系 : 372986183, 78763217 designed the animals and plants that could live on Darwin IV. The team included famous scientists such as Professor Stephen Hawking and Dr James Garvin. In the programme, the scientists explain the science behind Darwin IV. They explain why the animals have certain features (特點(diǎn) ). Here are four alien life animals from Alien Pla: Unth An Unth is about metres tall and has two legs. It runs fast and lives on the ground. It eats plants, and lives and travels in a group. Trunk Sucker A Trunk Sucker has a long nose and is about 1 metre long. It lives in the forest and drinks the juice from trees. It has wings and flies like a bird. Daggerwrist A Daggerwrist is about 2 metres long. It jumps from tree to tree like a monkey and eats other animals. Arctic Sedge Slider An Arctic Sedge Slider is 10 metres tall and feeds on grasslike plants growing near water.

D My heroes are the Singapore Women’s Everest Team. In 2021, they became the first allwomen team to climb Mount Everest. The team of six young women trained for seven years before they climbed the mountain. It was difficult for them to train because Singapore doesn’t have any snow or any mountains. But they didn’t stop, and in the end they made it. They worked hard every day for their dream so I really admire (欽佩 ) them. — Lance Reed, 16, from Britain My mum, Mary Evans, is a real hero. I have a very big family, with two brothers and three sisters. My mum works very hard every day to look after us, and she is very busy.
