    From tiny seeds(种子), great discoveries grow. A mini﹣garden carried on China's Chang'e 4 moon lander recently became home to the first plant to grow on another world.

    This is yet another success for Chang'e 4. On January 2, the probe(探测器)became the first lander to touch down on the far side of the moon. This is the unknown face of the moon that is always looking away from us, so we never see it from down here on the earth. Although it is often regarded as the dark side of the moon, the far side actually gets as much sunshine as the near side. For example, when all we can see is a silver of a new moon, the far side of the moon is in full sunlight.

    Part of Chang'e 4's mission(使命)is to see how a moon base could be built for humans, including exploring(探索)whether humans could grow food and other plant products there. Chang'e 4 carried a mini﹣garden with air, water and soil with seeds planted in it. When plants shoot on the earth, their stems grow away from the gravity(the force that keeps your feet on the ground),and so they always shoot upwards.The moon's gravity is a sixth as strong as the earth's, so Chang'e 4's experiment was a test:would the earth plants know which way was up on the moon? Four days after landing, a tiny cotton shoot showed that they do.

    Night has now fallen on the far side of the moon; sunlight will not return until the start of February.As a result, the cotton shoots died. Besides the darkness, the plants can't stand the cold(it can drop to ﹣170C on the moon at night). However, the experiment is a success, since it has proved that it is possible for plants to grow in space.

(1)The text is mainly about  

A. another success for Chang'e 4

B. Chang'e 4 moon lander

C. tiny seeds in the soil

D. the steps of an experiment

(2)Which of the following is TRUE about Chang'e 4?  

A. It carried a mini﹣garden.

B. It landed on the near side of the moon.

C. It explored the moon base.

D. It found plants on the moon.

(3)From the text we can know that  

A. the far side of the moon gets less sunlight

B. we can see the far side of the moon from the earth

C. the stems fail to grow away from the earth's gravity

D. the earth plants know the way to grow on the moon

(4)What can be inferred(推理)from the text?  

A. Plants can be grown on the moon soon.

B. It is perfect to do experiments on the moon.

C. The cotton shoots can last days on the moon.

D. We can see a new moon at the start of February.

(5)In which section of a magazine can you read the text?  

A. Health and sport.

B. History and culture.

Some primary schoolchildren have been raised in homes with more green space around. They are likely to come with larger volumes of white and grey matter in certain areas of the brain. These differences are associated(关联) with beneficial effects on cognitive function (认知功能). This is the main conclusion of a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health.

   The study was performed among 253 schoolchildren in Spain.Lifelong exposure(接触) to green space in the living places was recorded﹣using the information on the children's addresses from birth up through to the time of the study. Brain structure was studied using 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Working memory and inattentiveness(注意力不集中)were graded with computers.

   "This is the first study that shows the association between long﹣term exposure to green space and brain structure." Says Dr. Payam Dadvand, the leading researcher of the study. "Our findings suggest that exposure to green space early in life could result in beneficial structural changes in the brain."

   The findings show that long﹣term exposure to greenness is positively associated with white and grey matter volumes in several parts of the brain. Some of them are related to higher scores on cognitive tests. Moreover, larger volumes of white and grey matter in those parts might lead to better working memory and less inattentiveness.

   Exposure to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children. Another study of 2,593 children shows that children in school with more green space have a greater increase in working memory and a greater decrease in inattentiveness.

   Humans are believed to be tied to nature. Playing in greener areas offers children opportunities to search and learn. Accordingly, green space is thought to promptimportant exercises in discovery, creativity and risk taking. These exercises in turn positively influence brain development.

   Dr. Dadvand's study suggests how such structural changes could bring about the beneficial effects of green spaces on cognitive development. It also adds to the proof that suggests the lasting effects of early life exposure to greenness on our health and the benefits of increasing greenness in cities.

   Further studies are needed to prove the findings in other populations, settings and climates. And researchers need to examine differences according to the nature and quality of green space.

(1)The second paragraph is mainly about   

A. how the study was performed

B. what was recorded in the study

C. how long the study lasted

D. who took part in the study

(2)The word "prompt" in paragraph 6 probably means "   ".

A. control

B. encourage

C. balance

D. change

(3)What can we learn from the passage?   

A. Working memory influences white and grey matter in the brain.

B. Dr. Dadvand stressed the importance of changing the environment.

C. Studies proved the influence of greenness on populations outs of Spain.

D. Living in greener neighborhoods benefits children in brain development.

    This is the first time the ancient town, also a popular place of interest,has welcomed giant pandas. The animals will make Fenghuang their new home.

    With the average temperature ranging from 12.6℃to 16.7℃, Fenghuang County takes pride in its over 3,333 hectares of bamboo forest, providing a good living place for giant pandas.

    To provide a good living environment for the new arrivals, Fenghuang has built a panda theme park.

    Two of the eight pandas, named Long Sheng and Qing Feng, were born in 2000 and 2007 respectively(分别). The other six pandas were born in 2017. They were transported from southwest China's Sichuan Province to Fenghuang by special trucks.

    Before the transportation, the eight pandas were placed under observation in the giant panda protection center, and they are now in good health.

    Teng Qiong, director of Fenghuang County Forestry Bureau, said that the pandas were transported in refrigerator trucks for their safety and comfort. Several trucks were rented(租用),with four trucks carrying two giant pandas each, while one truck carried enough bamboo and bamboo shoots for five days, and another empty truck was kept on standby.

    "During the transportation, we rested at the high﹣speed service areas for 30 minutes every three hours. The keepers provided food and water for the pandas and carefully observed their health condition,"Teng said.

    Construction of the panda theme park in Fenghuang started at the end of 2018. It includes a panda house, a panda hospital, a feed processing room, a tourist service center, a science museum and other supporting projects. There will be 16 professional keepers to take care of the pandas in the park.
