听力原文: The first step in writing letters is to get over the guilt of not writing. You don't "owe" any body a letter. Letters are gifts. The burning shame you feel when you see unanswered mail makes it harder to pick up a pen and makes for a cheerless letter when you finally do. Skip sentences like "I feel bad about not writing, but I've been so busy," etc. Few letters are obligatory except when you need to show your appreciation. Write promptly if you want to keep your friends. Don't worry about others, except love letters, of course.
Keep your writing stuff in one place where you can sit down for a few minutes. Such as envelopes, stamps, address book, everything in a drawer so you can write fast when the pen is hot.
Sit down for a few minutes with the blank sheet in front of you, and meditate on the per son you will write to, let your friends come to mind until you can almost see her or him in the room with you. Remember the last time you saw each other and how your friend looked and what you said and what perhaps was unsaid between you, and when your friends becomes real to you, start to write.
Write the salutation--Dear You--and take deep breath and plunge in. A simple declarative sentence will do, followed by another and another and another. Tell us what you're doing and tell it like you were talking to us. Don't think about grammar, don't think about style, don't try to write dramatically, just give us your news--where did you go, who did you see, what did they say, what do you think.

Have you ever dreamed of traveling in space? It was impossible a hundred years ago, nor was it 50 years ago. With the coming of the Space Age, man’ s dream of visiting the moon has come true.
The journey to the moon has been the first step towards future explorations in space. The distance between the moon and the Earth is very short indeed when compared with the distances between Earth and the other planets. Mars, the nearest planet to Earth is of miles away ! Traveling to the planets or travels between planets will be man’ s next aim. Such travels will be more difficult than the trip to the moon and certainly more exciting.
Recently, two American unmanned spacecraft, Vikings 1 and 2, landed on Mars in an attempt to discover whether that planet had any life on it. So far the presence of life on Mars has neither been proved nor ruled out. Russian space-probes have discovered that the surface of Venus is so hot that it is almost certain that there is no life there. Also the atmosphere of Venus is extremely, dense and the pressure is nearly a hundred times greater than the pressure of the Earth’s atmosphere.
Scientists believe that in the future, space stations can be built in space. These stations can act as stop-over points in space. Spacecraft can refuel at these stations and get their supply of air, food and water.
Spaceships of the future will be bigger and faster. They will be able to carry passengers for trips to the moon or planets.
Man may in the future find planets which have the same conditions as those we have on Earth, and make them his home. However such a possibility is still in the distant future. At the same time, Man should realize that the Earth will be his only home for a long time and begin to value and care for it.
Which of the following statements is true?

A. Recently, two American astronauts have landed on Mars.
B. The surface of Mars is very hot.
C. The journey to the moon started the future exploration in space.
D. There is life in Venus.
