Pablo Picasso was born in Spain in 1881. His father was a painter and art teacher who gave his son the first lesson in drawing. He won a prize— "Science and Charity" for his first important painting when he was only fifteen. He studied in several cities in Spain. But there was no one to teach him all that he wanted to know. When he was nineteen, he visited Paris.
Paris was then the center of the world for artists. Everything that was new and exciting in the world of paintings seemed to happen there. When he was twenty-three, Picasso moved there to live and lived in France for the rest of his life.
When he was over ninety, this great painter still lived his life like a young man. He was still looking for new ideas and new ways to use his artistic materials.

One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held a sign which said, "I am blind. Please help me."
There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That
afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?"
The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way."
What he had written was, "Today is a beautiful day, but I can't see it."
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
The first is: Treasure what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.
The second is : Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.

Germany is a great place for who love walking in the most beautiful environment of nature. There are many forests and beautiful natural places to relax in Germany. One of the best places is the Bavarian Forest National Park, which has many paths and forest roads for visitors to choose from. Some years ago, it was hard for English speakers to travel in this park between Germany and the Czech Republic, because it was hardly covered in English language guidebooks. However, Bavaria Forest Holidays have now begun to introduce their own English language guides to help visitors. Each guide is sent to different groups suitable for families with younger children and older travelers.
There are even a lot of “Buggy Friendly Walks”, which spread out from a central starting point, and are suitable for people using wheel chairs. And because walking builds up an appetite (食欲) , there are also ten “walks to lunch”, each of which leads to a different place for a meal. 84.

Even though Mars doesn't always come close enough for astronomers（天文学家）to get a good look at it when Earth speeds past, scientists have an opportunity to launch a spacecraft to Mars every 26 months.
Unlike vehicles in science fiction movies, spaceships don't just take off in any direction. Escaping（避开）Earth's gravitational pull requires a lot of energy. Even then, without an extra push, a spacecraft would never reach the orbit of Mars.
To get a spacecraft to Mars, scientists time the launch so the spacecraft reaches Mars when the red planet is on the opposite side of the sun from Earth. This way, they take advantage of solar gravity, which causes a spacecraft to “fall” toward the sun, traveling in an arc around it. This motion follows physical laws described by Isaac Newton and Johannes Kepler in the 17th century. “What you want to do is launch the spacecraft so it goes around the sun to meet Mars, ” says Jah. “We give it the least amount of energy possible and let the sun's gravity do as much as it can for us. ”
As a result, like a warrior in a Roman chariot race, the spacecraft comes up on Mars from behind. But instead of sailing past, it slows down and lands.
88. If a spaceship wants to escape Earth’s gravitational pull, what does it need?
_______________________________________________________（不超过5个词）
89. When can the spacecraft get to Mars in the scientists’ opinion?
_______________________________________________________（不超过20个词）
90. Who described the physical laws that were mentioned in the passage in the 17th century?
_______________________________________________________（不超过5个词）
