Space vegetables are grown from seeds （种子）． They have been taken to and brought back from outer space． The seeds are influenced by the radiation （辐射） and low gravity （重力） in outer space． When they are brought back to the earth， these seeds produce vegetables that are bigger， healthier and more nutritious （有营养的） than normal vegetables． People needn't worry， because space vegetables are actually very healthy．
Here are some facts that you should know about space vegetables：
Space vegetables are grown from seeds （A） which/that are carefully chosen． After seeds are brought back from space， （C） seeds （ from space ） theyare tested to make sure that the vegetables they grow will be safe to eat． There are no traces （痕迹） of radiation after testing．
Space vegetables are better for you than normal vegetables． （B） For example， space tomatoes stay fresh for twenty days， which is one week longer than normal tomatoes．
After genetically modified （转基因） food came into the market， people worried that they were eating unknown things． Unlike genetically modified food， space vegetables have not been genetically changed． This means that no new genes （基因） are put into the vegetables． （D） So they won't be harmful/do harm to your healthy ． So they won't be bad for your health．

Trees in cities "live fast but die young" compared to forests in the countryside， warns a new study．
Researchers found that trees in cities die younger than ones in the countryside because of the higher levels of CO2． City﹣living trees suffer（遭受） a loss of carbon storage（碳储量）． That means trees produce less energy from the air．
Now researchers say more must be done to deal with the situation． Ian Smith， a PhD student of Boston University in the United States， said， "Cities are in the important position in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2．"． "We find that tree planting alone may not be enough to keep and increase city canopy cover（树冠覆盖率）． Because of the age and size of the present canopy， efforts to improve and protect tree health are badly needed for increasing city tree cover and canopy cover．"
The research team used a model to watch changes among street trees for several planting and management methods． Researchers also used the model to watch tree growth， death and planting rates（率）both among trees in Boston city and forests in the countryside in Massachusetts．
It was discovered that rates of carbon cycling and growth rates among city trees were nearly four times faster than those in the countryside． However， loss of carbon storage and death rates are also higher， especially death rates are more than double higher than those in countryside forests．
The study， published in PLOS ONE， has reminded scientists to encourage communities to do more to plant and protect trees． It is important to increase city canopy cover and carbon storage．
Researchers say planting and protecting will be needed to make sure cities can develop healthily， but more needs to be done to have a better understanding of city trees ﹣﹣﹣which may be different from countryside forests．
（1）According to the passage， which of the following is TRUE？
A． The more carbon storage loses， the more energy the trees produce from the air．
B． The higher the levels of CO2 are， the harder it will be for the plants to survive．
C． If we plant enough trees， we are sure to increase city canopy cover．
D． Cities do better in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2．
（2）Paragraph 4 mainly tells us ．
A． the results of the study
B． the discoveries from the researchers
C． the methods of the study
D． the suggestions from the researchers
（3）What does" those" in Paragraph 5 refer to？
A． Death rates．
B． Rates of carbon cycling．
C． Growth rates．
D． Loss of carbon storage．
（4）The writer's main purpose of writing the passage is ．
A． to teach us how to improve and protect tree health
B． to warn us that trees in cities live fast but die young
C． to let us have a better understanding of city trees
D． to tell us to take action to increase city canopy cover

Sometimes it seems that time is flying． Perhaps it doesn't need to feel this way． Our experience of time can be possibly changed． By understanding the psychological （心理学的） processes behind our different experiences of time， we might be able to slow down time a little．
One basic law of psychological time is that time seems to slow down when we're exposed（接触） to new environments and experiences． The law is caused by the relationship between our experience of time and the amount of information our minds process． The more information our minds take in， the slower time seems to pass．
It follows， then， that we have different experiences of time in different situations． In some situations， our life is full of new experiences． Our minds process a lot of information and time seems to slow down． In other situations， we have fewer new experiences and the world around us becomes more and more familiar（熟悉的）． We become insensitive to our experience， which means we process less information， and time seems to speed up．
How can we slow down time？ Here are two suggestions．
Firstly， since we know that familiarity makes time pass faster， we can expose ourselves to as many new experiences as possible． We can give ourselves new challenges， meet new people， and expose our minds to new information， hobbies and skills． This will increase the amount of information our minds process and expand （增加） our experience of time．
Secondly， and perhaps most effectively， we can give our whole attention to an experience﹣to what we are seeing， feeling， tasting， smelling or hearing． This means living through our senses rather than through our thoughts． For example， on the way home， focus your attention outside of yourself， instead of thinking about the problems you have to deal with． Look at the sky， or at the buildings you pass， traveling among them． This open attitude to your experiences helps take in more information and also has a time﹣expanding effect．
To a certain degree， we can understand and control our experience of time passing． It's possible for us to slow down time by expanding our experience of time．
（1）According to the writer， we can expand our experience of time by ．
A． going to bed on time
B． traveling to new places
C． having dinner as usual
D． printing the same materials
（2）What can we learn from the passage？
A． Being familiar with the world around helps us get more information．
B． Understanding psychological time makes life pass more quickly．
C． We can take in more information by living through our senses．
D． We should build a stronger relationship between time and us．
（3）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？
A． Slow Down Time
B． Only Time Will Tell
C． Race Against Time
D． Time Will Not Come Twice
When "A Youthful Asia" came out at the Asian Culture Carnival （嘉年华） ， tears filled my eyes． It's Zhang Yixing， the singer and dancer standing there for us young people in China， and the very one who stopped me from falling．
Three years ago， my new school life began． As a junior boy from the countryside， I could hardly keep up． I tried， but still felt like an outsider． Nobody would pick me for teamwork． So I stayed in the corner， hanging my head low as if I didn't care． There was a fear in me that all my school life would be colorless．
Then on May 4， I was "colorless" in Yixing's book about his life． How could this be true for someone just named the youth idol （青年偶像）？ I read the book again， smiling with the fun part of his childhood and touched by his promise to his mum．
Something wet my eyes when he joked about his training years in Korea． He doubled his practice， pushing himself so hard as to be called "the trainee （练习生） like god"． He said it probably meant "the train like mad"．
I might have tried， but not as hard as he did． "Whenever I feel I might be falling， I tell myself to hold on until I find my moment．" Says Yixing． For me， this moment means a better self inside and a larger world outside． So I told myself I would also make a difference if I could hold on for a longer time．
Luckily， every Youth Day after that， Yixing would be there on CCTV， encouraging me with his progress． When someone asked him what color his training life was， Yixing smiled， "It's colorless． I don't know what color effort is．"
But effort pays． Not he's standing at the Asian Culture Carnival， and I know he is looking forward to something even bigger．

Historically，most cars have run on gasoline（汽油），but that may change in the future：cars can also run on other liquid fuels（液体燃料）and electricity.
Gasoline is from oil.The energy in gasoline comes from hydrocarbons（碳氢化合物）.Gasoline provides great power for cars.However，it causes environmental problems，like air pollution and temperature rise.So gasoline can't be the best fuel.
Another choice is electricity.Electricity cars can be as efficient（效能好的）as cars using gasoline，And they produce less pollution.But electric cars themselves are more expensive.Good news is that the cost has been lower and there are more and more places for the cars to get electricity ever since 2010.
The other choices are other liquid fuels.Many of these can be stored in the same places as gasoline，and used in the same cars.They can also be friendly to the environment.
One way to make such fuels is to get CO 2from the air and put it in water.Through chemical reaction，hydrocarbons can be created.However，these fuels take up more space.
Another way is to make such fuels from plants which take in carbon from the air.These fuels are greener in use.But not all of them can be as efficient as gasoline.
For a fuel to be the best，people have to be able to afford it.Unluckily，almost every green technology is more expensive than that of using gasoline.Governments and car producers are doing everything they car to cut down the costs.In the end，the best fuel will be both affordable for car users and green for our planet.

The Youth Climate Summit（气候峰会） a week﹣long festival of climate action for primary and middle schools in the UK，starts on 9 November.It aims to create a fairer，more environmental world and make promises that will help the planet.Climate change is the long﹣term changes in the world's weather patterns that are mostly caused by human activity. "Unlike world leaders， "say the summit's organizers. "young people are refusing to let it drop off the plan. "
Each day has a topic，which includes food and fashion，looking at how humans harm the environment and how to save the planet.Organizations are leading some on line activities.For example，the Marine Conservation Society is hosting meetings on protecting sea fish.Separately，the environmental organization Greenpeace is running a workshop on how to turn worn﹣out clothing into something new and wearable.
The summit will finish on 13 November，when youth ambassadors（大使）wants schools to stop paper waste.Max，another 16﹣year﹣old ambassador wants schools to organize more trips and activities that get students outside to experience the beauty of nature.As part of the summit，hundreds of schools across the country are signing up to the Let's Go Zero activity，aiming to become carbon﹣zero（零碳的）by 2030.
Carbon﹣zero schools are ones that promise to stop emitting carbon in seven areas，including where they get their food and how they use water and recycle their waste.The activity is run by Ashden，a charity working towards climate solutions.Ashden hopes that schools will be able to help each other by sharing ideas and methods.It is also calling on the Government to back the promise.Head over to transform﹣our﹣world.org where you can find out more.

The first emperor of China，Qin Shihuang，completed a huge number of projects during his rule.Between 221 and 210 B.C.，he started the building of the Great Wall.The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life﹣sized terracotta soldiers（士兵）.These，he hoped，would protect his tomb after his death.
Lost in Time
The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown，but they weren't always.They began as an army of red，blue，yellow，green，white，and purple.Sadly，most of the colors did not last to the present day.After being exposed（暴露）to air during digging，the coating under the paint began to fall off.The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg，taking away with it important pieces of history.
New Technology
Now new technology is starting to show the army's true colors.Archeologists（考古学家）have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers.Many of these still have their painted features，including black hair，pink faces，and black or brown eyes.Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid（液体）to help save the soldiers' colors.After finding a soldier or another art piece，archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.
Back to Life
Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers.It's important not to do anything with the dirt，so the colors won't be lost. "We are treating the dirt as an art piece， "says Rong Bo，the museum's leading archeologist.The next challenge，says Rong Bo，is to find a way to use the colors onto the army﹣again.Once that happens，artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to its full，bright colors.

B.People should try to bring back the army's bright colors.
C.Archeologists can only guess at the soldiers' true colors.
D.Artists should be able to paint the soldiers in colors they want.
Zhu Keming never thought he would be a hero one day，but he was just that on Saturday when he saved the lives of six runners during the mountain marathon （马拉松）in Baiyin，Gansu Province，in which 21 people lost their lives.
It started off as a normal day for the 49﹣year﹣old shepherd ，who was taking care of his more than 30 sheep on the mountainside.But soon the weather was terrible，with rainfall and hail.The rain got so heavy that he couldn't see clearly and had to run into a cave where he normally went to have a rest.Soon he fell asleep in the cave after covering himself with some quilts he had stored there.
But he was awakened at 2 pm by an unusual sound that was not coming from his sheep.The sound that woke Zhu was the cry of a runner in the marathon.He was wet from head to toe and trembling because of cold.Zhu took him into the cave，lit a fire and covered the stricken （受伤的）runner with his quilts.
Zhu said that there were soon five runners huddling （挤作一团）in the cave，and he then decided to go outside to try to attract the attention of rescuers （救援者）.When he risked coming out of the cave，he found another stricken runner lying on the ground in bad condition.Then the other runners came out of the cave to give a hand.Zhu and the six runners remained huddled around the fire in his cave until 7 pm，when the rescue team arrived.
" I just did what I had to when I saw that these people were in danger.I think everyone would do the same thing in such a situation， "Zhu said to Beijing News.
Luo Chongchuan，the village head of Changsheng，where Zhu and his family live，said that the shepherd is a warm﹣hearted person who often helps his villagers.
