No spacecraft will ever landon the sun.The sun isa flamingball of gas that reaches thousandsofdegreesFahrenheit.But next year,a ship from Earth will fly closerto itthan any man-madecraft has flown before.Themission（任务） is a big development for scientists and,maybe,foreveryone else.
In September 2018,NASA plans to launch the Parker Solar Probe.After a journey ofnearly 90 million miles,it will fly within 3.8 million miles of the sun.Within two months oflaunching,theprobeisexpectedtoreachthesun’scorona（ 日冕）.That’s the sun’s outeratmosphere of gases.
Getting there won’tbe easy.Designing a spacecraft tough enough to hold up to the sun’sheathasproveddifficult.But that hasn’t stopped engineers from trying.Temperatures in thecorona can reach millions of degrees.The probe will limit itself to regions where things get nohotter than 2 ,500℉.That’sstillaheavyheatloadforaspacecraft.But a 4.5-inch-thick heatshield（罩）willprotecttheprobe’scameraand scientific instruments.
NASA says the data the probe collects could provide knowledge into the physics of stars.Oursunisspecialtous.But as a star,it ’s rather common.So the better we understand how itworks,thebetterweunderstandallstarsofitsmass and color.
Perhaps the most important is what the probe may show us about solar storms.Duringsolar storms,chargedparticlesstream through the solar system.They can disable communicationssatellitesandshutdownpowersystemsOnestudy has found that a very intense solar stormcould cause up to$2 trillion in damage in the US alone.Itcouldalsoblackout the East Coastfor a year.
Understanding solar storms might allow us to predict themourselves.Thatcouldmakeevenamissionwithabillion-pluspricetagoneofNASA’sgreatbargains.
32.What can we learn about the probe?
A.It’s the first man-made instrument to fly to the sun.B.It’ll get to the core of the sun in nearly two months.
C.It’ll fly about 3.8 million miles to reach thecorona,D.It’ll fly closer to the sun than the previous ones.
33.What is the challenge for the engineers?
A.Reducing the temperature of the probe.B.Buildingashieldagainsttheheat.
C.Limiting the probe to proper regions.D.Directingtheprobetocollectdata.
34.What might be the best title?
