In July 2021, astrnauts n bard the Internatinal Space Statin (ISS) planted pepper seeds as part f an experiment t test which plants culd be successfully grwn in space. The peppers were harvested fur mnths later, and the team celebrated with a party and taste test.
Fr astrnauts living mstly ff prepackaged fds fr mnths at a time n the ISS,fresh and flavurful prduce is welcmed. With lng missins t the Mn and Mars in fcus, NASA is wrking t find sustainable ways fr astrnauts t enjy fresh fds, which will add key nutrients t their diets and imprve their state f mind.
Astrnauts have grwn radishes, zinnias and a variety f lettuces n bard the ISS befre, but this is the first time they grew peppers, which psed a new challenge, reprts Elizabeth Hwell fr Space. cm.
Bilgists at the Kennedy Space Centre spent tw years picking the perfect pepper. They wanted t try peppers because they’re a great surce f vitamins and nutrients. and they can be eaten raw r cked.Plus,peppers are fairly lw maintenance (保养) t grw.
In June,a carrier delivered supplies t the ISS alng with a package f 48 pepper seeds. Astrnauts n bard planted the seeds in a micrwave ven-sized grwing cntainer. The cnditins in it—such as lighting, watering and air circulatin—were cntrlled by a crew based at the Kennedy Space Centre. On bard, the astrnauts cllected data and ffered feedback n the flavur f the peppers.
“This is imprtant because the fd astrnauts eat needs t be as gd as the rest f their equipment,” LaShelle Spencer, a plant scientist at NASA. said ver the summer. “T successfully send peple t Mars and bring them back t Earth, we will nt nly require the mst nutritius fds, but the best tasting nes as well.”

Only pepper can grw in space.
There were n enugh fd fr astrnauts.
Humans wanted t test which plants can grw in space.
Pepper can grw better than ther plants.

C. It imprves their state f mind mst.D. The vitamins in it are the mst.
What des the underlined wrd “it” refer t in paragraph 5?
A. Cntainer.B. Package.C. Micrwave.D. Seed.
What can we infer frm the text?
Astrnaut need special nutritin t keep the best state f mind.
The idea that pepper is grwn in space is silly.
It is the carrier that is in charge f sending feedback n the peppers.
Pepper can’t be eaten cked in space but it can be eaten raw.

A burger shp called the N Brand Burger in the Suth Krean capital is a bit different frm typical fast-fd restaurants: Its key staff are rbts. Frm rder t pick-up, custmers dn’t need a single face-t-face interactin. All they need t d is t click the menu they want n a kisk (售货亭) tuchscreen, pay and wait fr a serving rbt t bring their takeut bag t the pick-up spt.
While waiting fr their fd, custmers take phts r stare with curisity at the capsule-shaped rbts, which remind peple f the ppular characters frm the animated film “Despicable Me.” The yellw and black clrs f the N Brand Burger restaurant als give the place the lk f a ty shp. “This is the first time I’ve actually seen such rbts, s they are really amazing and fun,” said Shin Hyun S, a 31-year-ld ffice wrker trying ut the service.
The human staff d have a rle t play, the restaurant’s manager Bae explained, adding tppings t the cked ingredients befre wrapping them and passing them ver t a rbt t serve. “The custmer can take the fd withut any direct cntact with the staff,” Bae said.
Befre Mnday, Suth Krea had fr the last few weeks allwed restaurants t prvide nly deliveries and takeut meals after 9 p.m. In August, takeut rders accunted fr 58% f N Brand Burger’s ttal sales, up by 16% frm July, accrding t Shinsegae Fd, the Suth Krean fd cmpany that perates N Brand Burger.
N Brand Burger isn’t the nly lcal restaurant using rbts t serve custmers. Suth Krea’s majr IT cmpany KT has partnered with the family restaurant chain Mad fr Garlic t prvide Al serving rbts.
Using 3-D space mapping and ther technlgy, the rbt can freely mve thrugh the narrw lanes between tables and avid bstacles t reach its destinatin, said Lee Yungjin, team leader f AI Platfrm Business Team at KT. The rbt can serve up t fur tables per trip. “Children custmers ften like t see the rbt.
