The 14th China Airshow was held from November 8th to 13th in Zhuhai. More than 42 countries took part in the show, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and many other countries. Among the different models of airplanes, the J-20 Drone（无人机）took many people’s breath away.

The drone is one of the greatest inventions in recent years. A drone is light and portable, which makes it possible to be put in a backpack easily.

Some small drones are widely used for taking photos and putting on light shows. Other larger drones are used to carry things to far places in a smart way. For example, Mei Tuan Takeout（美团外卖）uses drones to send food or packages to people’s offices in Shenzhen. The delivery time has been greatly cut down. Drones can be also set to finish tasks for farmers. They can spray pesticide and check whether the crops are growing well at different time of a day. So, a farmer can look after land five time larger than that before. Scientists are also using underwater drones to get information on CO2 levels in the ocean. It’s the newest way to study the ocean’s condition and improve（改进）its environment.

66. How long did the 2022 China Airshow last?

A. Six days.   B. Seven days.   C. Eight days.   D. Nine days.
