We cannot blame a child for his early mistakes. We can only help him to correct them and remember them when he begins to suffer the consequences. We do not expect a child who has never been taught geography to score high marks in an examination paper on the subject. Similarly, we cannot expect a child who has never been trained in cooperation to respond appropriately when tasks that demand cooperation are set before him. But all of life's problems demand an ability to cooperate if they are to be resolved; every task must be mastered within the framework of human society and in a way that furthers human welfare. Only the individual who understands that life means contribution will be able to meet his difficulties with courage and with a good chance of success.
If teachers, parents and psychologists understand the mistakes that can be made in ascribing a meaning to life, and provided they do not make the same mistakes themselves, we can be confident that children who lack social feeling will eventually develop a better sense of their own capacities and of the opportunities in life. When they meet problems, they will not stop trying; they will not look for an easy way out, try to escape or throw the burden onto the shoulders of others; they will not demand extra consideration or special sympathy; they will not feel humiliated and seek revenge, or ask, "What is the use of life? What do I get from it? They will say, "We must make our own lives. It is our own task and we are capable of performing it. We are masters of our own actions. If something new must be done or something old replaced, no one can do it but our selves. "If life is approached in this way, as a cooperation of independent human beings, them are no limits to the progress of our human 'civilization.
Cooperation can cure the following EXCEPT ______.

A. lack of interest in others
B. selfishness
C. independence
D. lack of social feeling

A.timeB.occasionC.term

A. time

Thirty years after Aldrin and fellow astronaut Nell Armstrong made the first footprints on the lunar surface on July 30, 1969, Aldrin suggested that the tight budgets of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and a lack of boldness had mired human space exploration.
"The achievements of Apollo (the NASA program that took Aldrin and others to the moon) were so bold and our subsequent efforts so timid that the energy of those years seems like a youthful dream," Aldrin told more than 100 participants at a space tourism conference.
"Had we continued even with that moderate investment in space, about 1 percent of our national budget, we' d have walked on Mars l0 years ago, or certainly 5 years ago," he said.
Hartmut Muller, who is affiliated with the German-based Space Tours, said that as recently as 1997 there was a "giggle factor" whenever the topic of space travel for the ordinary citizen was mentioned.
Two years ago, at the time of the first International Symposium on Space Travel in Bremen, Germany, Muller said, "There was no acceptance of space tourism at all." But after two such meetings were held and covered by the media, "In Germany, it's an accepted topic. Now how do we realize it?"
Both Aldrin and Muller envisioned orbiting space hotels--Muller even showed an early design of such a hotel that looked a bit like rite circular space station in the film "2001"--and looked for new ways to launch paying passengers into orbit.
Aldrin also thought "sight-seeing trips around the moon and back" were feasible.
Even if space tourists were lobbed aloft by a reconditioned space shuttle, the ticket price would be steep, with estimates starting at $ 25,000, according to Muller. And that is still far less than the $ 400 million to $1 billion each shuttle mission costs now.
But the market for such travel exists. A study released by the NASA and the private Space Transportation Association (STA) this year found one-third of all American adults would like to spend two weeks in space and would pay more than $ 5,000 to do so. Space tourism now--including visits to space musemns, space camps, rocket-launch recovery sites and government research and development centers, and even low-gravity aircraft trips--accounts for $1 billion each year, a sliver of the $ 400 tourism takes in annually, the NASA-STA report said.
The report took the prospect of space travel for ordinary tourists seriously, and said the US government was committed to working with private industry to cut the cost of a ride in space from hundreds of thousands of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, and to improving safety and reliability.
"Private, high-priced ' adventure’trips to space with greater than today's commercial airline risk could become possible in the next few years,’the study said. "Much larger scale, lower-priced, orbital operations, could commence in the decade thereafter."
According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin walked on the moon 30 years ago.
B. Apollo program was a bold program.
C. Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin walked on the Mars 10 years ago.
D. Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin is an astronaut of America.
