They had to turn it in soon, but he hadn't even started his part! Jack and Claire were in his group. They had worked hard. They were also very smart, and Lee didn't want them to get a bad grade.

很快这份作业就要交了，但他自己那部分还没有开始做！他和杰克以及科莱丽在同一组。另外两个人既聪明又努力，所以李不想拖他们的后腿。

“好吧，我觉得我得开始做我的模型了，”他心想。

要做一个星球模型并非易事。他试着读了几本相关书籍，但里面的图表他一个都看不懂。“我要拖后腿了！”李自言自语。他趴在桌子上，说道：“真希望能看看真正的星球是什么样子，而不是只靠书本上的知识。”

Suddenly, there was a bright light. Lee was pulled from his chair, through the roof, and right into a strange ship! "Hello, kid," said an alien. "Did you ask for help?"

突然，一道强光将李从椅子上拖了起来，穿过屋顶，送进了一艘奇怪的飞船里！“你好啊，孩子，”一个外星人说。“你需要帮助吗？”

很快，他们就穿过云层，路过月球，然后他们看到了火星。李激动异常，因为他们小组的作业不仅不会很差，而且将会是最棒的！

It's time to go home, the alien finally said. On the way back, he helped Lee make a model of the planet Mars. Soon, they were on Earth.

“该回家了，”最后外星人说道。回家路上他帮助李做了一个火星的模型。很快，他们就回到了地球。

Thanks,Lee said."My model will be awesome!" Then he took his model and said goodbye to his new friend.
