Sanyé Myl’s eyes twinkle with excitement when he stands in the sund bth f The Recrd C. in Bstn, eager t bring his creatin t life. With the press f a buttn, his latest rap track fills the rm. “I didn’t knw spaces like this existed,” says Myl, wh grew up in the lw-incme neighbrhd f Drchester. He is ne f the yung musicians wh, thanks t The Recrd C. , has turned his music int a full-time ccupatin.
Funded in 2010 by Matt McArthur, The Recrd C. aims t give musicians mre affrdable access t the creative wrkspace and intrduce the wrld f music t thse wh may have never cnsidered their place in it.
McArthur understands this challenge firsthand. As a music technlgy student at Berklee Cllege f Music, he was frustrated by the high csts f renting time in prductin studis. On average, a recrding studi in Bstn csts mre than $100 per hur t rent.
He saw a recrding studi nt as a private ffice fr a man f means but as a cmmunity center available t all. S he tk ut lans, cllected dnatins and pened a studi in a tiny basement in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Slwly but steadily, McArthur expanded it and eventually rented a new prperty t include spaces fr practice and prductin.
Tday, The Recrd C., with a full-time staff f mre than 20 peple, is a state-f-the art, 12,000-ft facility that can be rented fr as little as $10 per hur. Each mnth, it receives abut 1,000 reservatins, and arund 3,500 musicians pass thrugh its drs. At The Recrd C., the principle is clear: Music shuld be affrdable fr everyne, and s shuld the space fr creating it. The building has been shaped nt nly with an ear t acustics(音响效果)but als with an eye t ensure it is as welcming t a musician in a wheelchair as t ne wh walks in with a guitar ver the shulder.
24. Why did McArthur fund The Recrd C.?
A. T make musicians well-knwn.B. T make a frtune thrugh music.
C. T persuade peple t pursue music.D. T make music prductin affrdable.
25. What des the authr intend t d in paragraph 3?

Ramachandran says they want t send humans t Mars, but they cannt take everything there, especially fd. He thinks it’s ging t be expensive, but grwing rice there wuld be ideal.
Ramachandran and his clleagues grew rice plants in a Martian sil simulant (模拟物). They als grew rice in pure ptting mix as well as several mixtures f the ptting mix and sil simulant. All pts were watered nce r twice a day. The team fund rice plants did grw in the artistic dirt f Mars.

They surced sme rice varieties—mdified t stand envirnmental stressrs like drught—and grew them in Mars-like dirt with and withut perchlrate. N rice plants grew in a cncentratin f 3 g f perchlrate per kilgram f sil. But when the cncentratin was just I g per kilgram, ne f the rice varieties grew bth a sht and a rt, while anther managed t grw a rt.
The findings are encuraging, suggesting that by changing t imprve with ne successful mdified gene, humans might eventually be able t develp a rice cultivar suitable fr Mars.

B. They stpped grwing in Mars-like dirt.
C. They never develped rts in sil with perchlrate.
D. Their grwth was affected by perchlrate’s cncentratin.
35 What is the authr’s attitude t the research findings?
A. Suspicius.B. Critical.C. Psitive.D. Curius.
