When a typical kid hums （哼唱） a tune,it's usually smething like" Twinkle ，Twinkle ，Little Star ，"nt Finnish cmpser Jean Sibelius's Vilin Cncert in D Minr.
S when Nygel Witherspn began t hum the very difficult cncert （协奏曲），his family guessed that he shuld have music lessns.He was ，hwever,just 3 years ld.
"He was calm,with an ability t fcus," recalled David Hlmes,Witherspn's cell （大提琴） teacher frm age 3 t 16.
Witherspn is a familiar name in his hmetwn.He has inherited his talent frm bth sides f his family,including his aunt,the late jazz vcalist Shirley Witherspn.
The 17-year-ld desn't see himself as cmpetitive."I think it's mre imprtant fr students t have a supprtive envirnment than a cmpetitive ne," he said. "It's great t have a supprt system,where yu can be yurself and imprve right alng with thers ding the same thing.
Witherspn's lve f music blssmed as he attended vila （中提琴） lessns with lder siblings （兄弟姐妹）.Their teacher,David France,nticed that the little by was a spnge （海绵）.
"He'd absrb everything they did, "France said.Witherspn was given a bx vilin,but he wanted t play the big ne- -the cell.He lved its size and tne.That's when he was matched with his teacher Hlmes.
Witherspn's drive is inspired by the cnnectin music prvides.He recalled that he and his siblings perfrmed as a chamber tri （室内乐三重奏） at their grandmther's nursing hme.The psitive reactin frm residents gave him mtivatin.
"It's s imprtant,whether it's hip-hp r classical," he said. "Music is the universal language.It cnnects all f us. "His mther runs an in-hme daycare where lucky children can hear Witherspn s cncerts as backgrund music.
Witherspn finds the nisy envirnment helpful in terms f learning t fcus and play with distractins.As he practices in the kitchen,smetimes children tddle （蹒跚学步） up t listen.
Despite years f perfrming,Witherspn said he still gets nervus smetimes. "But nce I'm n stage,I cnnect with my instrument and try t tell a stry with my music.

By 2050，the United Natins says,we're ging t need 70 percent mre fd t feed the nine billin peple living n Earth.Sara Menker says the prblem may be even mre urgent than the 2017，she gave a TED talk in which she said a "tippingpint," beynd which glbal fd markets becme t verladed t functin effectively,culd cme in just a few years.
"We discvered tliat the wrld will be shrt 214x1012 calries by 2027，she said.Or,in mre familiar terms： "A single Big Mac has 563 calries.That means the wrld will be shrt 380 billin Big Macs in 2027.That is mre Big Macs than McDnald's has ever prduced."
Menker cannt change the wrld alne.But the firm she started,Gr Intelligence,is prviding infrmatin that fd cmpanies,insurers,lenders and plicymakers use t make fd prductin mre effective,and perhaps help prtect against that tipping pint.
Gr tracks 650xl012 data pints daily-frm surces such as gvernment and lcal fd reprts,satellite phts,lng-term weather frecasts and greenhuse gas measurements-and creates cmputer mdels s that fd cmpanies,such as Unilever and Yum!Brands,can knw hw prices are likely t trend,calculate surpluses （过乘!））and shrtages,and be mre flexible when climate change makes fd supplies harder t predict.
A type f artificial intelligence knwn as machine learning is key t dealing with the data because,as Allisn Tepley f Gr's staff put it, "The best infrmatin is ften lcal infrmatin,but it's ften in lcal languages,in different frms and it all needs t be puttgether.55
Gr has sunded warnings n African swine fever in China （which cut prk prductin 30 percent in 2018）， in East Africa in 2020 and glbal inflatin （通货膨胀） in fd prices.
What is the prblem mentined by Menker？ ______
A. Fd shrtage.B. Overladed markets.
C. Overppulatin.D. Wrng predictin by the U.N.
What des Menker mean by her wrds in paragraph 2？ ______
A. The prblem is serius.
B. Her discvery is mre accurate.
C. Big Macs cntain t many calries.
D. McDnald's shuld increase prductivity.
What des Gr d t help fd cmpanies？ ______
A. Get resurces.B. Mnitr greenhuse gases.
C. Analyse big data.D. Assess surpluses and shrtages.
What might the underlined wrds"lcust infestatin" be in the last paragraph？ ______
A. A data-driven drug.B. A language-based apprach.
C. A fd-related disaster.D. A prductin-centered plicy.

Eurpean researchers say they have created a prcess that can prduce xygen frm mn dust.The prcess culd prvide a majr surce f xygen fr humans taking part in mn explratin activities in the future.Researchers frm the Eurpean Space Agency,r ESA，carried ut the experiments at a labratry in the Netherlands.
The team says ESA's experimental "plant" was able t successfully prduce xygen frm simulated mn dust.The dust is part f a material knwn as reglith,a tp layer f dirt and rck pieces that sit n the surface f the mn.Samples f reglith returned frm the mn have cnfirmed that the material cntains abut 45 percent xygen by weight.Hwever,the xygen is chemically lcked in the frm f minerals r glass,s it is nt easily available fr use.Having real samples f reglith frm the mn made it pssible fr the researchers t create the simulated mn dust material used during testing.
The xygen extractin prcess is carried ut using a methd called mlten salt electrlysis （熔盐电解）.This includes first placing the reglith in a metal cntainer.Calcium chlride salt is added t the mixture,which is then heated t 950 degrees Celsius.At this temperature,the reglith remains slid.Next,an electrical current is passed thrugh the material.The researchers say it is this step that results in xygen being extracted frm the reglith.The study reprted that up t 96 percent f xygen in the simulated mn dust was extracted during the experiments.
ESA's lng-term gal is t design an xygen-prducing "pilt plant" t perate full-time n the mn.The first technlgy demnstratin f the system is expected t take place in the middle 2020s.Beth Lmax,a lead researcher n the prject,said, "Being able t acquire xygen frm resurces fund n the mn wuld bviusly be hugely useful fr future lunar settlers,bth fr breathing and the lcal prductin f rcket fuel." The researchers reprted that "as a bnus"，the prcess als results in the prductin f usable metallic materials.ESA and the US space agency NASA are bth wrking n plans t return human beings t the mn.NASA has set a gal fr 2024 with the aim t keep humans n the mn fr lng perids.
Why is xygen frm mn dust difficult t use？ ______
A. It is tugh fr human beings t get them.
B. It is chemically fixed in materials r glass.
C. There exits nly a little f it n the mn's surface.
D. The cnditins f mn dust are wrse than expected.
What is the main idea f the third paragraph？ ______
A. What mlten salt electrlysis is.
B. Where the value f the study lies.
C. Hw xygen is extracted frm mn dust.
D. What is necessary in the xygen extractin prcess.
What is Beth Lmax's attitude twards the pssibility f getting xygen frm mn dust？ ______
A. Optimistic.B. Skeptical.
C. Cautius.D. Cncerned.
What can be the best title fr the text？ ______
A. Recent Studies f Mn Dust by Researchers.
B. Hw Researchers Extracted Oxygen frm Mn Dust.
C. Ptential Significance f Oxygen Extracted frm Mn Dust.
D. Researchers Reprt Extracting Oxygen frm Mn Dust Successfully.

A rck as big as a huse.That's hw the guide bk described Giant Rck.I was finally ging t see it n snwshes,with my three lder cusins and my dad.I'd been snwsheing befre and I liked the adventure f hiking thrugh deep snw alngside wild-animal tracks.
At the parking area dwn the hill,after putting n ur snwshes,we studied the map.Dad said, "We start here,n the red trail.Then we turn left nt the purple trail.That's where Giant Rck is.Remember t stick tgether,guys." The trail ran uphill alngside a stne wall.It was easy t fllw because red markers were nailed t the trees and the snw had been packed dwn by ther hikers.At the tp f the hill,we turned nt the purple trail.My cusins and dad were faster than I was,but I managed t keep up.
The late afternn sun felt warm,althugh it was already sinking lwer.Finally,we reached a hill and saw the big rck sitting alne,s splendid and charming against the setting sun.My cusins and I high-fived each ther and jgged dwn the slpe（斜坡） until we std at the base,breathless.
Nticing the sun had sunk even lwer,dad said after a few minutes. "Let's head back.
