Mars is a red planet nearest to the earth. Some countries have explored it for many years. Zhu Rong（祝融号）is China’s first Mars rover（火星探测器）. It is a part of the Tianwen-1 mission. It landed on Mars on May 15th, 2021. The name “Zhu Rong” comes from Chinese mythology（神话）in which Zhu Rong is the god of fire. It means bringing light, warmth and hope to space exploration, showing the romantic thoughts.
Zhu Rong is about 1.85 meters tall and weighs about 240 kilograms. It can move on Mars like a small robot car. It has six wheels and four solar panels（嵌板）to get power. It can work in bad weather on Mars. It can also sleep by itself to save energy.
Zhu Rong has many important jobs. It takes photos of Mars’ surface. It studies the soil, rocks and minerals（矿物）. It uses a radar（雷达）to look for water ice under the ground. It also records the weather on Mars, such as the temperature and wind speed. All the information is sent back to scientists on the earth.
By exploring Mars, Zhu Rong helps us know more about the planet’s history. It also helps us understand if Mars could have life. This great success makes China the second country in the world that can achieve a soft landing and operate a rover on Mars. It shows China’s progress in space science.

C
① In the endless universe, there are billions of stars and countless planets. But so far, scientists have found only one planet in the universe that is perfect for humans to live—the earth. It is not just a rock flying in space, but our unique（独特的）home.
②The earth gives us everything we need to live by. Clean water, fresh air, rich soil and many kinds of living things make our world beautiful and lively. No other planets we know have soft rain, tall trees, blue oceans and kind communities. Many people, however, do not realize how lucky we are. They pollute rivers, cut down too many trees and waste natural resources without thinking.
③Some people dream of moving to other planets like Mars. But those planets are cold, dry and cannot support people’s daily life easily. Even with high technology, living there would be very hard and costly. The earth is special and unique not because it is the only planet having living things in the solar system, but because it is at a suitable position to maintain life perfectly.
④Protecting the earth is our duty. Small daily acts, like saving water, picking up rubbish and using less energy, can make a big difference. We must remember that in the whole universe, we have only one Earth. Once it is broken, we cannot find another one like it. We should love it, protect it and pass its beauty to the next generation.
