The United States Geological Survey (USGS)has made a number of regional maps of the moon with data from the Apollo missions.However,those maps were completed at different times with different levels of quality.So they were not able to be directly used together.(The Apollo program succeeded in preparing and landing the first humans on the moon between the years of 1961and1972.)

Audrey did a second survey with her teammates and they invited 12 young adults and 12 children to take part in it.The survey was different from what Audrey had done before because this was the first time that children had taken part in such a survey. The result also showed the importance to children in learning to draw or write by hand at early ages."Learning to write by hand is a slow process,but it's important for children,"Audrey said. 4 "When children write something by hand,the hand movements can form the shapes of words and put these children in a condition of learning.It also helps them form good learning habits." Therefore,people had better write things by hand as often as possible. 42.How many people were invited to take part in Audrey's second survey?
