Since then, the little by slwly became ptimistic. One day, the little by lay n the bed but culdn't sleep. Lking at the bright mnlight utside the windw, he suddenly recalled what the bilgy teacher nce said, plants generally grw at night. Why nt g t see the tree?

Zer gravity lks cl. But what abut the thing n ne likes t talk abut? Yes, that is right: ging t bathrm. Zer gravity makes this everyday task quite a challenge. Astrnauts have t be tilet-trained all ver again.
The Apll astrnauts raised themselves ff the seat f their chairs and stuck a clear plastic bag t their back sides with sticky strips. A secnd astrnaut watched clsely t be sure n waste matter escaped the seal. (Yu wuld nt want that stuff flating arund the cabin!)When the deed was dne, the astrnaut cleaned up with a piece f plastic attached t the inside f the bag， remved the bag, drpped a disinfectant(消毒剂)pill in with the waste matter, and put the whle thing, sealed, int a special cntainer.
Dnald W. Rethke, an engineer fr Hamiltn Standard Space Systems, develped a mre private way t answer nature's call: the space tilet. It is smewhat like the kind f tilet ne wuld find n cmmercial airplanes - with unique adaptatins fr zer gravity, f curse. Fr instance, it has thigh bars that keep the astrnaut frm flating ff the seat.
The astrnaut (male r female)defecates(排便)in a bag and urinates (排尿)in a hse(软管). Slid and liquid wastes are kept separated because at least 85％ f the urine is recycled and, yes, after careful filtratin(过滤), used fr drinking and ther purpses.（Water is always in demand in space.) A vacuum sucks the waste materials int the tilet, where the waste is cmpacted int hamburger-like patties fr easy strage. Althugh nt exactly like an earthbund visit t the tilet, it is at the very least much mre private than in the early days f space travel.
8. What can be turned int a majr challenge fr lack f gravity,accrding t Paragraph 1?
A. Eating.B. Taking baths.C. Sleeping.D. Answering nature's call.
9. Hw did astrnauts use tilet systems in the Apll days?
A. Nne f the waste was separated as it is nw.
B. Slid waste was cmpressed and stred n bard.
C. The tilet units used water t remve the waste thrugh the system.
D. The astrnauts each used their wn private restrm.
10. T ensure the user remains seated, the tilet cmes equipped with.
A. a plastic bagB. a sticky stripC. a wide hseD. a thigh bar
11. What can be inferred frm the fact that mst f the astrnauts' urine is recycled?
A. The recycled water tastes better.
B. Water is limited n the space shuttle.
C. It is very cnvenient t get their urine recycled.
D. Space science includes recycling urine.

New App Helps Peple Remember Faces
Large gatherings such as weddings and cnferences can be scially verwhelming. Pressure t learn peple’s names nly adds t the stress. A new facial-recgnitin app culd cme t the rescue, but privacy experts recmmend prceeding with cautin.
The app, called ScialRecall, cnnects names with faces via smartphne cameras and facial recgnitin, ptentially aviding the need fr frmal intrductins. “It breaks dwn these scial barriers we all have when meeting smebdy,” says Barry Sandrew, wh created the app and tested it at an event attended by abut 1,000 peple.
After receiving an invitatin t dwnlad ScialRecall frm an event rganizer, the user is asked t take tw selfies and sign in via scial media. At the event, the app is active within a previusly defined gegraphical area. When a user pints his r her phne camera at an attendee’s face, the app identifies the individual, displays the persn’s name, and links t his r her scial media prfile. T prtect privacy, it recgnizes nly thse wh have agreed t participate. And the app's creatrs say it autmatically deletes users’ data after an event.
Ann Cavukian, a privacy expert wh runs the Privacy by Design Center f Excellence praises the app’s creatrs fr these prtective measures. She cautins, hwever, that when peple chse t share their persnal infrmatin with the app, they shuld knw that “there may be unintended cnsequences dwn the rad with that infrmatin being used in anther cntext that might cme back t bite yu.”
The start-up has als develped a versin f the app fr individuals wh suffer frm prspagnsia, r “face blindness,” a cnditin that prevents peple frm recgnizing individuals they have met. T use this app, a persn first acquires an image f smene’s face, frm either the smartphne’s camera r a phtgraph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spts that same face in real life, the previusly entered infrmatin is displayed. The cllected data are stred nly n a user’s phne, accrding t the team behind the app.
12. ScialRecall is used t ________.
A. take phtsB. identify peple
C. rganize eventsD. make friends
13. Paragraph 3 is mainly abut ________.
A. hw the app wrks
B. hw the app was created
C. what makes the app ppular
D. what peple can d with the app
14. ScialRecall helps peple with prspagnsia by ________.
A. giving names t the phts kept in their smartphnes
B. cllecting infrmatin previusly entered in the phne
C. prviding the infrmatin f a persn when they first meet
D. shwing the persn’s infrmatin when it spts a stred face
15. What can we learn abut ScialRecall frm the passage?
A. It may put peple’s privacy at risk.
B. It has caused unintended cnsequences.
C. It can prevent sme cmmunicatin disrders.
D. It is praised by users fr its prtective measures.

Since then, the little by slwly became ptimistic. One day, the little by lay n the bed but culdn't sleep. Lking at the bright mnlight utside the windw, he suddenly recalled what the bilgy teacher nce said, plants generally grw at night. Why nt g t see the tree?

Zer gravity lks cl. But what abut the thing n ne likes t talk abut? Yes, that is right: ging t bathrm. Zer gravity makes this everyday task quite a challenge. Astrnauts have t be tilet-trained all ver again.
The Apll astrnauts raised themselves ff the seat f their chairs and stuck a clear plastic bag t their back sides with sticky strips. A secnd astrnaut watched clsely t be sure n waste matter escaped the seal. (Yu wuld nt want that stuff flating arund the cabin!)When the deed was dne, the astrnaut cleaned up with a piece f plastic attached t the inside f the bag， remved the bag, drpped a disinfectant(消毒剂)pill in with the waste matter, and put the whle thing, sealed, int a special cntainer.
Dnald W. Rethke, an engineer fr Hamiltn Standard Space Systems, develped a mre private way t answer nature's call: the space tilet. It is smewhat like the kind f tilet ne wuld find n cmmercial airplanes - with unique adaptatins fr zer gravity, f curse. Fr instance, it has thigh bars that keep the astrnaut frm flating ff the seat.
The astrnaut (male r female)defecates(排便)in a bag and urinates (排尿)in a hse(软管). Slid and liquid wastes are kept separated because at least 85％ f the urine is recycled and, yes, after careful filtratin(过滤), used fr drinking and ther purpses.（Water is always in demand in space.) A vacuum sucks the waste materials int the tilet, where the waste is cmpacted int hamburger-like patties fr easy strage. Althugh nt exactly like an earthbund visit t the tilet, it is at the very least much mre private than in the early days f space travel.
8. What can be turned int a majr challenge fr lack f gravity,accrding t Paragraph 1?
A. Eating.B. Taking baths.C. Sleeping.D. Answering nature's call.
9. Hw did astrnauts use tilet systems in the Apll days?
A. Nne f the waste was separated as it is nw.
B. Slid waste was cmpressed and stred n bard.
C. The tilet units used water t remve the waste thrugh the system.
D. The astrnauts each used their wn private restrm.
10. T ensure the user remains seated, the tilet cmes equipped with.
A. a plastic bagB. a sticky stripC. a wide hseD. a thigh bar
11. What can be inferred frm the fact that mst f the astrnauts' urine is recycled?
A. The recycled water tastes better.
B. Water is limited n the space shuttle.
C. It is very cnvenient t get their urine recycled.
D. Space science includes recycling urine.

New App Helps Peple Remember Faces
Large gatherings such as weddings and cnferences can be scially verwhelming. Pressure t learn peple’s names nly adds t the stress. A new facial-recgnitin app culd cme t the rescue, but privacy experts recmmend prceeding with cautin.
The app, called ScialRecall, cnnects names with faces via smartphne cameras and facial recgnitin, ptentially aviding the need fr frmal intrductins. “It breaks dwn these scial barriers we all have when meeting smebdy,” says Barry Sandrew, wh created the app and tested it at an event attended by abut 1,000 peple.
After receiving an invitatin t dwnlad ScialRecall frm an event rganizer, the user is asked t take tw selfies and sign in via scial media. At the event, the app is active within a previusly defined gegraphical area. When a user pints his r her phne camera at an attendee’s face, the app identifies the individual, displays the persn’s name, and links t his r her scial media prfile. T prtect privacy, it recgnizes nly thse wh have agreed t participate. And the app's creatrs say it autmatically deletes users’ data after an event.
Ann Cavukian, a privacy expert wh runs the Privacy by Design Center f Excellence praises the app’s creatrs fr these prtective measures. She cautins, hwever, that when peple chse t share their persnal infrmatin with the app, they shuld knw that “there may be unintended cnsequences dwn the rad with that infrmatin being used in anther cntext that might cme back t bite yu.”
The start-up has als develped a versin f the app fr individuals wh suffer frm prspagnsia, r “face blindness,” a cnditin that prevents peple frm recgnizing individuals they have met. T use this app, a persn first acquires an image f smene’s face, frm either the smartphne’s camera r a phtgraph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spts that same face in real life, the previusly entered infrmatin is displayed. The cllected data are stred nly n a user’s phne, accrding t the team behind the app.
12. ScialRecall is used t ________.
A. take phtsB. identify peple
C. rganize eventsD. make friends
13. Paragraph 3 is mainly abut ________.
A. hw the app wrks
B. hw the app was created
C. what makes the app ppular
D. what peple can d with the app
14. ScialRecall helps peple with prspagnsia by ________.
A. giving names t the phts kept in their smartphnes
B. cllecting infrmatin previusly entered in the phne
C. prviding the infrmatin f a persn when they first meet
D. shwing the persn’s infrmatin when it spts a stred face
15. What can we learn abut ScialRecall frm the passage?
A. It may put peple’s privacy at risk.
B. It has caused unintended cnsequences.
C. It can prevent sme cmmunicatin disrders.
D. It is praised by users fr its prtective measures.
