China Science and Technology Museum has teamed up with space experts to spark students' interest in the final frontier by opening an experience center to share knowledge about the country's Tiangong space station.
The museum says it hopes to help young people understand how the space station works and foster greater interest in China's manned space program. The experience center's first event on Monday attracted space enthusiasts of all ages. To satisfy the students' curiosity, the museum even had a replica (复制品) of the Tiangong space station's core module on exhibit.
"I learned that the core module of Tiangong actually has three parts. I thought it was just one," said Lang Xujun，an eight-year-old student from Yuxin School in Beijing.
Yang Liwei, China's first astronaut, along with other space experts was invited to give a speech and answer the students' questions on a range of topics. One student asked if a sunflower turns its face to the sun 16 times a day since the station orbits the Earth the same number of times. Another was curious about whether mosquito will hit the wall if the station moves at speed.
The experts patiently responded to each question.
Astronauts aboard the Tiangong space station also sent their regards by video from 400 kilometers above Earth, and left some homework for their little fans. One of their assignments required students to design their own space food.
"Study science and technology well so one day you may board on the journey to the oceans of stars and planets and contribute to mankind's peaceful exploration of space," said Nie Haisheng, one of the three astronauts on the Shenzhou-12 space mission that was launched on June 17 and the first Chinese to spend 100 days in orbit.
24. Why has the museum cooperated with experts?
A. To open an experience center in space.
B. To develop students' interest in space.
C. To display China's great achievements in space.
D. To attract more people to take part in the event.
25. How do people react to the event?

26. What kind of homework may little fans receive?
A. It may be concerned with Shenzhou-12.
B. It may be connected with their school activities.
C. It may be something that inspires students' creativity.
D. It must be used in space technology in the future.
27. What might be the best title of this article?

B. Science Museum opens to young people at present.
C. An experience center will be open to young people.
D. Astronauts have a conversation with young people.

Hundreds of millions have rolled up their sleeves for the COVID-19 vaccine, but why haven't they rolled up their pants legs instead? Why do we get most shots in our arms? What's the science behind why we get most vaccines in our arm and does location matter?
Muscles make an excellent vaccine (疫苗) administration site because muscle tissue contains important immune (免疫) cells. These immune cells recognize the antigen (抗原), a tiny piece of a virus or bacteria introduced by the vaccine that stimulates an immune response.
In the case of the COVID-19 vaccine, the immune cells in the muscle tissue pick up these antigens and present them to the lymph nodes (淋巴结). Injecting (注射) the vaccine into muscle tissue keeps the vaccine localized, allowing immune cells to sound the alarm to other immune cells and get to work. Once a vaccine is recognized by the immune cells in the muscle, these cells carry the antigen to lymph vessels, which transport the antigen-carrying immune cells into the lymph nodes.
Lymph nodes, key components of our immune system，contain more immune cells that recognize the antigens in vaccines and start the immune process of creating antibodies.
Croups of lymph nodes are located in areas close to vaccine administration sites. For instance, many vaccines are injected in the deltoid (三角肌) because it is close to lymph nodes located just under the armpit (腋下).
Muscle tissue also tends to keep vaccine reactions localized at the injection site. If certain vaccines are injected into fat tissue, the chance of irritation and side effect increases because fat tissue has poor blood supply, leading to poor absorption of some vaccine components. Vaccines must be given in a muscle to avoid widespread side effect.
Yet another deciding factor in vaccine administration location is the size of the muscle as well as convenience.
28. Why did the author raised many questions in the first paragraph?
A. People do have many questions about injecting the vaccine into arms.
B. The writer actually didn't know the answers of these questions.
C. The writer wanted to arouse readers' interest in reading the article.
D. The theory behind the vaccine injection is difficult to understand.
29. What's the advantage of getting vaccine shots in the muscle?
A. Muscle tissue spread important immune cells easily.
B. Muscle tissue can stimulate an immune response.
C. The antigen can be recognized by muscle tissue easily.
D. Vaccine can stimulate a better immune response there.
30. What may the underlined word in the sixth paragraph mean?
A. Common feeling of sorrow. B. Abnormal sensitivity to stimulation.
C. Terrible wound in the muscle. D. Absorption of vaccine components.
31. What may the article continue to present?
A. The advantage of getting wide vaccine shots in arms.
B. How to prevent the wide spread of the COVID-19.
C. The size of muscle and convenience also location.
D. How to prevent the side effect of getting vaccine shots.
D
NASA scientist Josh Willie flew over Greenland this week, and gazed at a widespread polar world of melted ice and dark pools of water.
In mid-August, a powerful heat wave melted large areas of the Greenland ice sheet, which is three times the size of Texas. It's a vivid sign of changing times, and climates. In recent decades, Arctic scientists have observed record-breaking melt events in Greenland, which result in water pouring into the sea - and contribute to sea level rise. So far in 2021, the island's melted area (8.2 million square miles) is way above the 1981 to 2010 average-to-date, by some 1 million square miles.
"What's important to know is that all the big melt years have happened in the last two decades or so," Willis, who researches ice sheets and oceans at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told Mashable between Greenland flights. "That's because the melt in Greenland is getting more extreme with every decade due to human interference with the climate."
Arctic scientists have found that, over the last couple decades, Greenland is melting faster than it has in at least 350 years. The ice sheet is shrinking.
As the climate warms, and heat waves become increasingly extreme, major melting events are even happening at the island's typically freezing summit. This summer, a couple of serious heat waves hit Greenland, noted Ted Scambos, an ice sheet expert at the University of Boulder Colorado who has no involvement with the NASA mission. It even rained on Greenland, at 10,551 feet. Scientists had never observed rain there before.
Before 1995, centuries would go by between major melt events at the summit, explained Scambos, referencing evidence from cores of ancient Greenland ice. Now, it's occurred a handful of times in recent decades, he said.
32. What do we know about the melting in Greenland?
A. The melted ice and dark pools of water in Greenland are normal phenomena.
B. A powerful heat wave melted large areas of ice sheet belonging to Texas.
C. Greenland's melting in 2021 is more serious than the past three decades.
D. The sea level in Greenland is way above that of the Atlantic Ocean.
33. What does Willis think caused the melt in Greenland?
A. Human's interference with the climate lead to the melt.
B. The melt is getting more extreme just in two decades.
C. There was fewer big melt years two decades ago.
D. Willis is still not worried about the melt in Greenland.
34. Mostly for what purpose does rain is mentioned in Greenland?
A. To display a kind of normally-happened natural phenomenon.
B. To imply that huge climate changes are happening in Greenland.
C. To show what is happening at Greenland's typically freezing summit.
D. To imply that everything strange is possible in this fantastic world.
35. What is the article mainly about?
A. The sea level rise in Greenland area is happening.
B. Greenland's melting is becoming more serious.
C. How human interference influence Greenland.
D. Major melt events happening in Greenland area.

Learn to relax before an examination!
Nowadays, as Senior Three students, we have to face many examinations. Many of us feel quite anxious before various examinations, not sleeping well in the night or feeling frightened and blank in the mind just before the examinations, which has a negative impact on our health as well as our performance during the examinations.
How to cope with the anxiety before an examination may vary from person to person. Generally, doing some light exercise is a good way to relieve our anxiety, which can help us to relax both physically and mentally. In addition, chatting with our good friends also works out well because a casual talk will help us move away from the examination for a moment. Last but not least, thinking about some happy things in our life may also contribute to our relaxation before an examination.
All in all, don't let anxiety stand in your way. Take it easy and everything will be OK.

M: Welcome to our hotel, madam. May I ask how you found out about us? Was it our recent ad on TV or in the newspaper?
W: Actually, I found this place while using the Net.

W: How about joining us for a cup of coffee?
M: I'd love to, but I'm too tired. I wrote a paper for my French class and I didn't go to bed till 3:00 this morning. I need to get some sleep now.

M: Look, Mum has left a note with housework for us to do while she and Dad are away this weekend.
W: Let's see - tidy up the garage and clean up the backyard.
M: She doesn't say which we should do first.
W: Hey, we are not robots! We can make our own plan as long as everything gets done. Read the weather report in the newspaper.
M: Hmm. Sunny today, cloudy tonight, probably heavy rain tomorrow. Well, that makes it easy. We work outside today and inside tomorrow.
W: Yep. Let's get started. I want to go to the supermarket this afternoon.

M: Being a model is a dream of many girls. How were you able to make your dream come true?
W: In fact, my mother put me in TV commercials and other advertisements when I was just a small baby.
M: Do you think that modeling has made a difference to your life?
W: It's difficult to say. Sometimes I feel like it's hard to make friends when you are a model. It seems like all they care about is my look.
M: What is your favorite part of being a model?
W: I really like all the traveling of my work. I have been able to go to Europe and Latin America and a lot of other beautiful locations around the world. I think the best thing, though, is having people look at me and think that I'm beautiful. I love the attention.

M: So, next year you're going to start your A levels. Which subject are you going to choose?
W: I'm surely going to choose Spanish because it is my favorite subject and then I'm not really sure... I'd like to do art but I don't know if it's very useful for my career.
M: What do you want to do?
W: A journalist. That has been my dream since my childhood. So, I guess history or psychology or something is probably more useful for my career.
M: Do you want to go to university?
W: Yeah, but I'm not going to start university straight after I leave high school. I'm planning to have a gap year, you know, a break from studying for a while.
M: And what would you like to do in your gap year? Any ideas?
W: I want to travel and I'd like to go to Italy. I don't know if it's really practical but that's my dream!

W: Hello. Care for the Community. How can I help you?
M: Oh, good morning. I'm interested in doing some part-time work for your organization. My name is Philippa Tailor. I'm a student at the University of Leicester.
W: Good morning, Philippa. When would you be available to work? Days? Evenings?
M: Well, days would be difficult, as I have classes then. I am thinking maybe a couple of evenings a week, or maybe three. But no more than that.
W: OK. Philippa, why are you interested in working for us?
M: Well, I major in Social Care Studies. I'm hoping to apply for a job in social care when I graduate, and this would give me some work experience in this field.
W: Great. And what makes you suitable for this kind of work, do you think?
M: Well, I have very good communication skills. That's my strong point, I think. And I'm a good listener. Sometimes you can help by just listening, you know.
W: I agree. Hmm, right. What I'd like to do, if it's OK with you, is to fix an appointment so we can meet and talk about this some more. It wouldn't be anything formal, not an interview or anything like that. Er, how are you fixed for Tuesday 9th September at 4:30?
M: Ah, I'm sorry. I have a lesson then. Would Wednesday be possible?
W: The 10th? Yes, that would be fine.

W: Hello, everyone, I'm Susan. I began to work on the radio at the age of 12. I used to call the radio station quite a lot, answer questions and quizzes, and all that sort of things. One of the announcers thought my voice was nice, so he wanted me to come and work for him.
The first couple of days, I had no idea what was going on. There were a great number of microphones in front of my face, and I was told to make this show fun and interesting. It was a challenging job because I had to come up with clever ideas at once, but the topics were quite simple. They were mainly about music.
My parents were very proud of me. At the age of 12, their daughter was a DJ. What could be better than that? I remember they would listen to my programme every single time, record it and then listen to it over and over again when they could. It was a big thing to be a radio person then being only 12.
Now I'm 17 years old. Some of my friends ask me if I would be a DJ for a long time. Well, I really enjoy it, have a lot of fun and never get fed up with it. But it is a hobby. It is never something I want to do for life.
