Recent experiments expsed fur cmmn disease-causing bacteria t a Mars-like envirnment with its lack f water, insufficient atmspheric pressure, deadly radiatin and pisnus salts. The bacteria remained alive fr varius perids f time, researchers reprt in the January Astrbilgy.
In 2020, a team f scientists fund that several bacterial species that live n r inside the human bdy were able t grw in a medium like the nutrient-pr cnditins. That made sme f the researchers wnder hw such bugs wuld hld up under the unfrgiving envirnment f Mass. S several members f that team, alng with micrbilgist Tmmas Zaccaria, did the experiment abut fur micrbes (微生物), which usually live harmlessly n r in us but can lend t diseases when stressed.
“At the beginning, we thught that the envirnment n Mars wuld have a harmful effect n the cells s it wuld limit their grwth.” says Zaccaria, a micrbilgist in Clgne. “But instead, we saw that it was the ppsite.”
He and his clleagues are nw trying t figure ut just hw the micrbes held n. Perhaps n Mars, the bacteria managed t find small areas with enugh water, nutrients and prtectin frm the deadly UV radiatin. Zeccaria says. The researchers are als interested in determining hw the human bdy will respnd t bugs that have gne thrugh such hard cnditins.
The results suggest that human missins t Mars shuld bring plenty f different antibitics (抗生素) t deal with disease-causing bacteria surviving n the Martian surface. And since we dn’t want t accidentally mistake a terrestrial (地球上的) bug fr a native Martian ne while searching fr life n Mars, Zaccaria als recmmends that areas f the Red Planet be set aside like natinal parks, where humans wuld send nly rbtic vehicles and nt ur bacteria-carrying bdies.
Waters, a scientist wh was nt invlved in the experiments, pints ut that human intelligence will hpefully find ways t slve such prblems, which shuldn’t scare us away frm sending peple beynd ur planet.
28.What is the purpse f the experiment?
A.T shw the similarity between the earth and Mars.
B.T prve that sme micrbes have strng ability t live.
C.T find ut hw sme bacteria survive tugh envirnment.
D.T explain hw harmless micrbes lead t diseases under stress.
29.What might be Zaccaria’s reactin t the findings?
A.Amazed.B.Disappinted.C.Satisfied.D.Cncerned.
30.What might kill bacteria n Mars?
A.High stress.B.Certain radiatin.C.Salty water.D.Much heat.
31.Which f the fllwing des Zaccaria agree with?
A.Setting up mre natinal parks n the earth.
B.Cntinuing t search the whle Mars fr life.
C.Bringing mre micrbes t Mars fr further research.
D.Leaving special areas fr rbtic vehicles n Mars.

Think f a caveman, and maybe yu imagine smene tearing at the flesh f an animal they’ve just hunted. But this picture may be false—analysis f prehistric remains suggests that Stne Age peple were skilled in prcessing and cking different kinds f seeds, even experimenting with different flavurs. Seeds are still an imprtant part f ur diets, s maybe fd chices haven’t changed as much as we think.
In btanical terms, seeds are what new plants grw frm. Strictly speaking, edible seeds include nuts, pulses and grains, and area significant surce f prtein and calries wrld-wide. Between them, rice and bread are staple fds in mst f the wrld. Many cuisines use beans, whether cked in stews r curries, r mashed int pastes, like hummus frm the Middle East. This definitin f seeds als includes cffee beans and the cca beans used t make chclate.
Added t these are culinary (烹饪的) seeds. These are what we mre ften think f as seeds-we ften buy them unprcessed and use them whle in cking, whether as a seasning, as part f a salad r as a tpping fr bread. This includes chia seeds (奇亚籽), sesame seeds (芝麻籽) and flaxseed (亚麻籽).
There are clear health benefits t including these seeds in ur diet. They are high in dietary fibre, which is gd fr digestin and helps fight illnesses such as diabetes and bwel cancer. They are als a gd surce f unsaturated fat (不饱和脂肪). Experts believe that using this t replace saturated fats, such as thse frm meat and dairy prducts, can lwer chlesterl and help keep ur heart healthy. The minerals cntained in many culinary seeds, such as zinc, cpper, and flate, can be beneficial fr the immune system.
Hwever, it’s nt all gd news. Seeds can cause an allergic reactin, especially sesame seeds. Sesame is ne f the tp ten causes f fd allergies in the UK. Different types f seeds can share allergy-causing prteins, and ther seeds that can cause allergies include sunflwer seeds and pppy seeds.
32.Which f the fllwing might the authr disagree with?
A.Cavemen made a living merely by hunting.
B.Stne Age peple culd try different flavrs.
C.Stne Age peple were gd at prcessing seeds.
D.Seeds might be an imprtant part f cavemen’s diets.
33.What des the underlined wrd “staple” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Rare.B.Main.C.Cstly.D.Undiscvered.
34.What benefit f unsaturated fat is mentined in the article?
A.It can help defeat cancer.
B.It can help us digest chlesterl.
C.It can help keep ur spirits high.
D.It can assist in keeping ur hearts fit.
35.What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A.The British can nte at sesame seeds.
B.We shuld eat less seeds but mre meat.
C.Nt all seeds are beneficial fr everyne’s health.
D.We shuldn’t prduce seeds causing allergic reactins.

The fllwing recmmendatins are micr activities yu shuld d fr yur bdy.
Self-Massage (自我按摩)
Self-massaging shuld becme a part f yur daily musts. 37 As we get lder, ur muscles (肌肉) tighten. But if we self-massage, these muscles will feel cared fr. Accrding t the May Clinic, massage can reduce stress and increase relaxatin.
Intensive Exercise

When my dad first tk him hme in a cardbard bx, he was s quiet that I even dubted whether there was really a dg in it. When I peeped thrugh tw small hles n the side, I just saw a patch f grey fur.

Hwever, he tried t avid eye cntact with me, apparently a little scared with everything strange arund. I wanted t pet his head but he nly turned his head away.
When he became familiar with me, I called him Billy and he was really delighted, zagging his tail. Every time I left fr schl, he saw me ff. When I came back, he ways waited n my way hme and greeted me with his licks and brushed his head against legs. When Billy was in the kitchen with my father, lying n a small heap f firewd side the furnace (灶),he culd always knw which piece f firewd my dad wuld pick and raised his paw in time. It always surprised me hw intelligent and cnsiderate Billy I imagined him turning int a small by carrying my schlbag fr me and talking my dad. With Billy brightening every day f my childhd, I was mre than happy.
