In 1969, watching the landing of Apollo 11 on the Moon on TV from his parents’ farm in Canada, Chris Hadfield was amazed and excited. On that day, at only nine years old, Chris made the most important decision of his life: He was going to be an astronaut.
There wasn’t even a training program in Canada to become an astronaut, but Chris was determined. He spent a great deal of time studying and fixing engines. After school he joined the Canadian army where he learned to fly many different types of planes. Chris did a lot of research for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA)in the United States and had special training. Finally, in 1995, he rode his first rocket into space.
Chris became the first Canadian astronaut to walk in space, and went on a number of space missions throughout his career. The most memorable was his five-month stay on the International Space Station(ISS)as commander, between December 2012 and May 2013. He posted on social media thousands of photos of Earth and videos of himself explaining how things work in zero gravity. His followers could watch him sleeping, brushing his teeth, washing his hands, or preparing “space” snacks in zero gravity, which turned him into a social media phenomenon.
Today, Chris travels the world giving talks about his work. He once said, “Decide in your heart of hearts what really excites and challenges you, and start moving your life in that direction. Every decision you make, from what you eat to what you do with your time tonight, turns you into who you are tomorrow. Look at who you want to be, and start sculpting yourself into that person. You may not get exactly where you thought you’d be, but you will be doing things that suit you in a profession you believe in. Don’t let life randomly kick you into the adult you don’t want to become. ”

Our world is full of sounds. Sound is so essential to life and survival that it made Tel Aviv University researcher Lilach Hadany ask: What if it wasn't just animals that could sense sound—what if plants could, too?
“Sounds are a natural resource-one that plants would be wasting if they didn’t take advantage of it as animals do,”said Hadany. If plants had a way of hearing and responding to sound, she figured, it could help them survive and reproduce.
Hadany's team started their study by investigating flowers. Evening primrose(夜来香), which grows wild on the beaches and in parks around Tel Aviv, emerged(浮现) as a good candidate, since it has a long bloom(花期) time and produces measurable quantities of nectar(花蜜).
To test the primroses in the lab, Hadany's team exposed plants to five sound treatments: silence, recordings of a honeybee from four inches away, and computer generated sounds in low, intermediate(中等的), and high frequencies. Plants given the silent treatment had no significant increase in nectar sugar concentration. The same went for plants exposed to high-frequency(158 to 160 kilohertz)and intermediate-frequency(34 to 35 kilohertz)sounds.
But for plants exposed to playbacks of bee sounds(0.2 to 0.5 kilohertz)and similarly low-frequency sounds(0.05 to 1 kilohertz), the final analysis revealed an unmistakable response. Within three minutes of exposure to these recordings, nectar sugar concentration in the plants increased by 20 percent.
A sweeter treat for pollinators(传粉者), their theory goes, may draw in more insects, potentially increasing the chances of successful cross-pollination. Indeed, in field observations, researchers found that pollinators were more than nine times more common around plants another pollinator had visited within the previous six minutes.
“We were quite surprised when we found out that it actually worked.” said Hadany.“But after repeating it in other situations, in different seasons, and with plants grown both indoors and outdoors, we feel very confident in the result.”
28. Why did Hadany's team expose plants to sound treatments?
A. To see if they would respond to sound.
B. To develop their ability to receive sound.
C. To help them benefit from different sounds.
D. To detect the difference between plants and animals.
29. Which of the following can bring a sweeter treat for pollinators?
A. Flowers like primroses B. Sounds like those of bees.
C. Visits from other pollinators. D. Exposure to different sounds
30. What can be concluded from the study?
A. Plants can identify different sounds.
B. Sound attracts more pollinators to flowers.
C. Plants produce nectar when pollinators come.
D. Sound plays an important role in insects’ survival.
31. How did Hadany feel about their discovery described in paragraph 5 at first?
A. It was doubtful. B. It was unexpected.
C. It was acceptable. D. It was satisfactory.
D
Metin Sitti at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, and his colleagues have developed tiny robots called “microrollers” that can carry cancer drugs and selectively target human breast cancer cells. The team drew inspiration for the design of the robots from white blood cells in the human body, which can move along the walls of blood vessels (血管) against the direction of blood flow.
The microrollers are round and made from glass microparticles. One half of the robot was coated with a thin magnetic nanofilm (磁性纳米膜) made from nickel and gold. The other half was coated with the cancer drug doxorubicin as well as molecules that recognize cancer cells.
The team tested the robots using mouse blood and artificial channels lined with human endothelial cells—the kind of cells that line the inner walls of our blood vessels. The robots were exposed to a mixture of cancerous and healthy tissue. The microrollers selectively attached to the cancer cells and were activated using UV light to release the doxorubicin.
By applying magnetic fields, the team was able to control the movement of the microrollers, both with and against the flow of blood. The microrollers can reach a speed of up to 600 micrometers per second. “If you come to a spot where you need to take the right path and if you miss it, then you could go back and go to the right one,” says Setti.
In future, the researchers want to use other methods to start the drug release, such as heat or near-infrared light. They also plan to try making microrollers out of materials that would break down in the body over a few weeks or months.
The team hopes to test the microrollers in animals soon. “The rollers need to carry enough cancer drugs, which is why we need to have them in large numbers,” says Setti. “But since we can locally take drugs to the right target, we don’t need huge dosages (剂量).”
32. What can the microrollers be used for?
A. Repairing blood cells. B. Delivering drugs.
C. Improving blood flow. D. Performing operations.
33. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the microrollers?
A. Their shape. B. Their advantage. C. Their design. D. Their application.
34. What can we learn about the robots from Paragraph 4?
A. Their direction can be adjusted. B. They might miss the target cells.
C. They might get stuck in the blood. D. Their speed can change automatically.
35. What will the scientists probably do next?
A. Put the microrollers to clinical use. B. Sell the microrollers in large quantities.
C. Tear the microrollers down in the body. D. Experiment with the microrollers further.

Make the most of money. Buy ingredients(原料) that can be used in many meals. ___39___ Plus, it’s kind of a fun puzzle to see how many ways you can use one ingredient. For example, I love Latin and Asian foods, so I keep things like rice, bell peppers, garlic, and hot sauce on hand at all times.
