The 19th-century discovery of what appearedto be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence. The lineswere thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigatethe surface. It is now clear that “canals” — perhaps the most spectaculargeologic features of Mars — are natural valleys where ancient rivers onceflowed. Another fragmented idea concerns theplanet’s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of somelife-form, these shifts are now known to develop from the movement of fine dustin the atmosphere. By the close of the 20th century none ofthe many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidenceof life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form oflife, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organiccompounds and minerals in a meteorite（陨石）, consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organismsmore than three billion years ago. 6. Why did people in the 19th centurybelieve the existence of intelligent life on Mars? A.

Passage4 Manners are very important in everycountry, but the trouble is that different countries have different ideas aboutwhat counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not beappropriate behavior in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what countsas good manners in England. When an Englishman passes a friend in thestreet he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say" hello"and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It isonly at parties for young people (students, for instance) that a person couldgo up to someone he does not know and introduce himself. On more formaloccasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to beintroduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess or another guestwho he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for atoast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or veryspecial occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by ashort speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebodywho is retiring. After a private dinner in someone's house an Englishman willonly shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion,like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye ashe leaves the house. Luckily,like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over mattersof etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student,no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when inRome, do as the Romans do. 16.
