China's Chang'e 6 probe (探测器) returned to Earth on June 25, 2024, with the first-ever rock and soil samples from the far side of the moon. China's space agency called the mission a "complete success" after the probe landed in northern China.
Chinese scientists think the returned samples include 2. 5 million-year-old volcanic rock and other materials that scientists hope will answer questions about geographic differences on the moon's two sides.
The samples could even help scientists to discover how planets are formed, according to the BBC.
The near side is what is seen from Earth, and the far side faces outer space. The far side is also known to have mountains and impact craters, contrasting with the relatively flat areas visible on the near side.
While past US and Soviet missions have collected samples from the moon's near side, the Chinese mission is the first that has collected samples from the far side.
The moon program is part of a growing rivalry (竞争) with the US— still the leader in space exploration—and others, including Japan and India. China has put its own space station in orbit (轨道) and regularly sends astronauts there.
China's leader Xi Jinping sent a message of congratulations to the Chang'e team, saying that it was a "landmark achievement in our country's efforts at becoming a space and technological power".
The probe left Earth on May 3, and its journey lasted53 days. Scientists are hoping that the sample materials contain traces of meteorite (陨石) strikes from the moon's past.
Experts believe that the aim of future missions will be not only to explore, but to take control of the moon's resources.

Mars may be wet under its surface, with enough water hiding in the cracks (裂缝)of underground rocks to form a global ocean, new research suggests.
The findings released on August 12 are based on seismic measurements(地震测量) from NASA's Mars InSightlander, which found more than 1, 300marsquakes before shutting down two years ago.
This water— believed to be 11. 5 kilometers to 20kilometers down in the planet's crust (地壳)— most likely would have come from the surface billions of years ago when Mars had rivers, lakes and possibly oceans, according to the lead scientist, Vashan Wright of the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
But just because water still may be inside Mars does not mean it holds life, Wright said.
"Instead, our findings mean that there are environments that could possibly be habitable (适合居住的), " he said in an email.
If InSight's location on the Elysium Planitia plain near Mars' equator (赤道) stands for the rest of the red planet, the underground water would be enough to fill a global ocean 1 kilometer to 2 kilometers deep, Wright said.
Although the InSigh t lander is no longer working, scientists continue to analyze the data collected from2018 through 2022, in search of more information about Mars.
Wet almost all over more than 3 billion years ago, Mars is thought to have lost its surface water as its atmosphere thinned, turning the planet into the dry, dusty world it is today. Scientists think much of this ancient water escaped out into space or remained buried below the surface.
(1)、The result that Mars has water is based on ____.A、a lot of scientific experiments B、the weather forecast of the lander C、seismic measurements from the lander D、the pictures of Mars taken by an old lander(2)、What is the writer's purpose in writing the third paragraph?A、To list some signs of water on the surface of Mars. B、To explain why there was so much water on Mars. C、To introduce the importance of much water on Mars. D、To show there is too much water on the surface of Mars.(3)、What can we infer about Mars according to the fourth and fifth paragraphs?A、People can't live if there is not any water. B、There must be life on Mars because there is water. C、People have mastered enough knowledge on Mars. D、It's possible for people to live on Mars in the future.(4)、The writer may agree .①Mars lost its surface water because of thin atmosphere
②Mars has become a planet that looks like a dry, dusty world
③scientists will use InSight lander to continue studying Mars
④the water buried below the surface of Mars has a long history
A、①②③ B、②③④ C、①②④ D、①③④ -

When I was a young boy we lived just down the road from a public swimming pool. During the summer months I would be there almost every day swimming and playing for hours.

That is when I would try the sofa cushions(靠垫).
*I would pull them out and stretch(伸长) my little arms deep into the crevices(缝隙) of the sofa hoping to find some pocket money that had fallen out of someone's pockets. Then I would run off to the swimming pool with change in my hand and happiness in my heart.
It is only recently, however, that I realized I found change there a lot during the summertime. I remember looking between the sofas in the winter a few times and not even finding a penny. Although I never saw them, I think that Mom, Nana, Dad, or all three of them would drop change down there for me to find. Of course, they never said a word about it even after I had grown up. I guess some secrets are too good to share.
You get no thanks for it, at least not to your face. Yet, it fills your heart with happiness.

Japanese car maker Nissan has developed a new type of paint that keeps cars cooler. The paint lowers the temperature inside cars that are parked in sunlight. The paint can keep a car 12 ℃ cooler than cars with regular paint. The new paint will also reduce the need for air conditioning. This means there is less pressure on a car's battery(电池). The paint was developed in partnership(合作) with a Chinese company called Radi-Cool, a specialist(专家) in heat-cooling products. Nissan said, "The project is part of our pursuit of… innovations (创新) that empower journeys, and help create a cleaner, more environmental society. " The paint is now only available in white. Nissan hopes to make other colors in the future.
The leader of the "cool paint" project is Dr Susumu Miura. He is a manager at the Nissan Research Center near Tokyo. His team started developing the paint in 2021. Their paint is about six times thicker than standard car paint. This will make cars a little more expensive. Dr Susumu Miura spoke about his work. He said, "My dream is to create cooler cars without using energy. " He added, " This is especially important in the electric vehicle (汽车) age, when the load(负荷) from running air-conditioning in summer can have a great impact on the condition of the battery.

Staying safe online is important. But a lot of us are making mistakes with the passwords (密码)we use for our different accounts(账户).
Password manager company Bitwarden found that a quarter of people use the same password for at least 11 sites or apps. And more than one-third of us use personal information in our passwords.
Personal information isn't a good idea to use, because it's quite easy for others to find it out.
But here's something else that isn't a good idea: using the name of your favorite famous person, band, singer or superhero!
A company called Mailsuite has been looking at the most dangerous pop culture passwords you can use online.

The pop culture password that came up most was "Superman". It appeared in almost 585, 000 data breaches.
In second place was the US band Blink-182. Used as a password, it appeared in more than 482, 000 data breaches.
"Batman" "Star Wars" and "Eminem" were also in the top five.
Bitwarden says you should choose a long password that includes letters, numbers and symbols.
You should also have a different password for each app you use. Sites like Bitwarden also let you check how strong a password is before you choose it.

The fast food restaurant, which sells burgers, fries, milkshakes and more, is working with Uber Eats and Serve Robotics to bring customers their orders using a robot that drives itself from the restaurant to their home.
When ordering a meal from Shake Shack through the Uber Eats app, customers in Los Angeles are given the option to have their food delivered by a Serve robot. Customers can then track the robot on its journey from the restaurant to their address, just like any other delivery.
The robot is around a meter tall and looks like a box on four wheels, with two lights at the front which look like eyes. According to reports, the robots can carry up to23 kilograms at a top speed of 11 kilometers per hour—and they only travel on sidewalks.
Food orders are put into a safe space that can only be unlocked by the customer with the Uber Eats app once ▲ .
Serve Robotics said that the robots reduce traffic jams, pollution, and road accidents, while also reducing the cost of delivery. What's more, you don't need to tip a robot!
Since 2022, the robots have already made thousands of deliveries for Uber Eats and 7-Eleven in Los Angeles. But there can be problems.
While Serve says that its robots finish their deliveries over 99% of the time, online videos of people damaging the robots and stealing(偷) what's inside of them went viral(在网上疯传) in 2023.

Anew artificial intelligence (AI) tool could be used to predict (预测) our future health conditions, according to researchers in London.
Experts from a number of different universities and hospitals have been trying out a tool they developed called Foresight.
It has been trained on the health care data (数据) of real patients, and it uses deep learning to recognize patterns in the data and identify (辨认)future symptoms, medications, conditions and procedures. In other words, it's a simulation (模拟) of what someone's future health will look like.
The results of tests on Foresight have now been published in The Lancet Digital Health.
Three different models of Foresight were trained on sets of health data from more than 800, 000 patients in the UK and the US.
In order to check how accurate(准确的) the tool was, the researchers compared its predictions with what really happened to a smaller number of patients whose medical records they studied.
It's said that its predictions were correct 88% of the time.
But this isn't a tool for predicting the future, said Zeljko Kraljevic, the study's first author, and it isn't designed to help patients diagnose themselves.
He said it could be used to help doctors to make decisions about a patient.
"The more data it receives, the better it gets, " he added.
The researchers said more testing is needed, and they're looking for hospitals to help test a more accurate version, to be called Foresight 2.
(1)、What can Foresight be used to do?A、Offer all kinds of people's health care data. B、Help people know about the medical knowledge. C、Provide doctors with treatment plans for patients. D、Predict the patents' health conditions in the future.(2)、What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A、How Foresight works. B、How great Foresight is. C、What the simulation is.

Everybody knows that eating carrots is good for our eyesight. A new study suggests that grapes are also good for our eyes.
Researchers from the National University of Singapore have found that eating just a few grapes a day can improve our vision. This is especially so for people who are older. Dr Eun Kim said, "Our study is the first to show that eating grapes is good for eye health in humans, which is very exciting, especially with a growing, ageing population. "
Dr Eun Kim added, "Grapes are an easily accessible(易得到的) fruit that studies have shown can have a beneficial impact (影响) on our eyesight. " This is good news for people who don't really like carrots.
The study is published in the journal Food &Function. Thirty-four adults took part in a series of experiments over 16 weeks. Half of the participants (参与者) ate one-and-a-half cups of grapes per day; the other half ate a placebo (安慰剂) snack. * Dr Eun Kim did not tell the participants or the researchers whether she was testing the grapes or the snack. She thought that not telling this information would give better test results. She found that people who ate the grapes had improved muscle strength around the retina(视网膜).
