		Lesson 8 Opportunity is Still Here!

MASTER 영어

※ 어법상 틀린 것을 고르시오.

My name is Opportunity, and I have a twin sister ①named Spirit. We are rovers, made by NASA ②to examine the Red Planet, Mars. Our mission is ③to explore the planet’s surface and see if living things are able to survive there. We are very excited about this trip, ④because of we will be the first unmanned probes ⑤to ever land on this mysterious planet. We will stay there for only 90 sols, a bit over 90 Earth days.

Today I finally arrived ①on Mars. It took 7 months ②to get here! The first thing I did was ③to take pictures of nearby rocks, ④where tell the history of this planet. My friends back on Earth will study my pictures to see ⑤if anything has ever lived here.

①I’ve reached my first destination: Endurance Crater. It took quite a bit of time to get here. I can’t move ②on my own. I need to receive 400 commanding words from my operators on Earth to move only 5 meters! I wish I ③could move faster. I’m still finding things though! I discovered various layers in the bedrock. People expect me to find evidence of water on Mars, but all that I can see is sand and rocks. My job right now is ④to stretch my arm out to examine rocks and take pictures of them. I will spend the rest of the year ⑤to explore Endurance.

I decided ①to head south to check out an ②even bigger crater named Victoria. It’s ③much wider than Endurance Crater, so there’s no time to waste! I sometimes used to look back to see where I first landed, but it’s ④too far away now that I can’t see it! On Earth, things looked blue, but here everything looks red. That’s ⑤why people call Mars the Red Planet!

While I was on my way towards Victoria Crater, I got my wheels ①trapped in a sand dune. There is nobody who can help me here. ②I’ve been struggling all alone. I guess I have to stay here for a while. I’m really afraid that I may not be able to travel any more. There are so many places that I’ve never been to! After finally ③freeing my wheels from the deep sand, I ④have reached at Victoria Crater. I rolled into the crater and took some pictures. I think my work here is done. I’ve decided to cross the desert to explore Endeavour Crater. I have to travel ⑤another 11km to get there. I wish people would understand how difficult it is to move even 1 meter on Mars!

January 25th, 2010

Today is the saddest day of my life. I learned that my twin sister, Spirit, finally ended her life after her 7-①year mission. She landed on Mars a month ②ahead of me. We didn’t get ③to see each other even once since we ④arrived here, because she was exploring the opposite side of Mars ⑤from which I am.

She had a lot of trouble from the moment she arrived here ①in spite of many deep craters and sand dunes. One of her wheels broke and she had to move backwards. ②Despite the difficulty, she was able to collect a lot of evidence of the existence of water. She’d been sending amazing pictures to Earth, but she ③got stuck in a sand dune and couldn’t get out. She had originally planned ④to travel about 800m but actually traveled 7.7 km! What an incredible spirit! I’m sure she’s still out there, ⑤cheering me onwards!

Today, after ①passing Santa Maria Crater, I finally reached my destination. Look how beautiful Endeavour Crater is! I was so excited that I forgot ②how difficult and lonely my journey was. It’s already been 6 years now ③since I have left Earth. So far, I ④have travelled 33.5 km. Nobody expected that I would travel this far! But I have to keep ⑤moving to find more evidence of water.

December 1st, 2011

I’m feeling older now. My eyesight is getting weaker ①because of the dust and sand, and I’m moving very slowly these days ②because my battery ③has nearly run out. I don’t like the cold weather on Mars. I have no friends here. I don’t know ④how long can I stay. But I’ll wake up every morning and keep ⑤sending pictures to Earth.

Some day soon, my friends back on Earth will tell me that I ①won’t have to travel any more, and that my work here ②will have finished. But I’ll still be out here, ③trying to find new rocks and new craters that I’ve never seen before. I hope one day people will come here and find me. I’d really like them ④to take Spirit and I back to Earth ⑤which we don’t have to be so cold or lonely.
