On August 6, 1926, Trudy Ederle became the first woman to swim the English Channel(英吉利海峡). Before her, only five men had achieved this feat (壮举). It was a dangerous journey through cold waters and changing tides (潮汐). There were also countless jellyfish and sharks to avoid. The 19-year-oldNew Yorker swam 35 miles that day— and beat the men's record by about two hours.

The young fighter even swims her way to the 1924 Paris Olympics to win a gold me dal and two bronze medals.
One of the more touching moments in the movie is when Ederle's trainer, Jabez Wolffe, puts sleeping pills into her tea to stop her crossing the Channel. There's no proof that Wolffe actually did this, but people think the real Wolffe was just as jealous (嫉妒的) as the character in the movie. That might be why he took her out of the water before she finished swimming, saying it was for her own safety!

NASA has given SpaceX an $843 million contract (合同) to build a vehicle that will help to des troy the International Space Station (ISS).
SpaceX, a company that's controlled(控制) by Elon Musk, will build the vehicle the mission will be led by NASA.
The ISS was launched in 1998 and it's likely that it (have) to be removed from space in the next few years.
The station is operated by space agencies from the US, Europe, Japan, Canada and Russia. All of(they) have said they'll operate the station until 2030 except Russia, which has said it will operate it2028.
Teams of (astronaut) have been living in the space station since 2000. During this time, they (do) more than 3, 300 experiments in space.
It's expected that the SpaceX vehicle will pull the ISS through space before (land) it in the sea. Both are likely to break apart as they re-enter Earth's atmosphere.
But experts say it won't be easy to bring such a large space station back to Earth(safe).
Meghan Bartels from Scientific American said, "The orbiting laboratory contains about much internal space as a six-bedroom house spread over an area the size of a football field, and that it weighs almost as much as three blue whales."

For years, kids have dreamed of becoming astronauts. And according to a new survey, many young children 1 they'll travel to space during their lives.
In May, 2024, a British education company 2 RM Technology surveyed more than 1, 000 elementary school children.
And 57% of the 4-to 7-year-olds surveyed said they think they'll get the 3 to visit space. Almost two out of five said they think humans will be able to live on another planet in the next 10 years.
The children were also 4 which planet they'd most like to live on— other than Earth. The most popular answer was Mars, which was 5 by more than a third of kids.
We're probably much more than 10 years away from living on another planet. 6 should we be spending time and money sending people into the solar system at all?
Time for Kids magazine asked some US children about this in 2022.
Elisha Lee, an 11-year-old from Illinois, said humans need to 7 the solar system because we may need to live in space to survive if there are too many people on Earth.
8 , Lino Marrero, a 15-year-old from Texas, said there's no need to send humans when robots can go instead.
But 11-year-old Orion Jean, also from Texas, said sending astronauts into space could encourage young people to become 9 in science and technology.
Shaivi Moparthi, a 13-year-old from Texas, said it's too dangerous to put people in space. And Samirah Horton, also 13, from New York, said we should 10 money on solving problems on Earth instead.

9、 阅读短文,根据短文内容完成下面的表格。
A tech billionaire took the first private spacewalk, hundreds of kilometers above Earth, on September 12, 2024.
Jared Isaacman teamed up with Elon Musk's SpaceX to test the company's new spacesuits on his flight.
Until now, only professional astronauts working for government agencies had done spacewalks.
They' re high-risk endeavors (尝试), although there isn't always much walking involved. Astronauts at the International Space Station often need to move across the great structure for repairs, always traveling in pairs and carrying gear. Station spacewalks can last seven to eight hours.
But Isaacman's spacewalk was simple and quick. He kept a hand or foot attached to(贴着) the capsule the whole time as he moved his arms and legs. He was outside for about 10 minutes.
SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis also went out into space once Isaacman was back inside.
The two other passengers, Scott Poteet, a former US Air Force pilot, and SpaceX engineer Anna Menon stayed strapped to their seats inside. All the crew members wore SpaceX's new spacesuits to protect themselves as the entire capsule was exposed to the vacuum of space when the hatch(舱门) was opened.
The operation was planned carefully— it had to be. Trying out new spacesuits from a spacecraft new to spacewalking added to the risk.
Isaacman, who is the CEO and founder of the Shift4 credit card-processing company, hasn't said how much he spent on the flight.
It won't have been cheap, but some people are glad that private individuals (私人) are financing space travel, meaning governments send less public money into orbit.
A billionaire does the first privately-funded
The facts
There were people on Elon Musk's SpaceX in total, but only people went out into space.
Jared Isaacman is a and he took the first private spacewalk, and it is of great historical significance (意义), only professional astronauts working for government agencies had done spacewalks this.
Jared Isaacman's spacewalk is than traditional spacewalks.
All the crew members used SpaceX's new to protect themselves when the hatch was opened.
The ideas
The of science needs a group of people with the spirit of exploration. Maybe it will be a for ordinary people to go into space.

Japanese scientists have created a satellite made of wood, which will be launched into space as early as 2024.
Called LignoSat, the box-shaped satellite is small enough to be held in your hand, but inside it are experiments that will show how well a wooden device can work in space.
LignoSat is the result of a project by Kyoto University and the Sumitomo Forestry company to find new materials for satellites that will be better for our planet.
Until now, all satellites have been made of metal. When they re-enter(再次进入) Earth's atmosphere, they burn up, leaving tiny particles of aluminum(铝颗粒) that could be very bad for our environment, and may even des troy the ozone layer (臭氧层). A wooden satellite, however, would burn up into ash (灰烬), which is far less harmful.
Researchers from Kyoto University tested different kinds of wood— first in laboratories, and then sending three samples to the International Space Station, where they were tested in the vacuum(真空) of space for nearly a year.
The scientists found that the wood was not damaged by being left in space, which the leader of the project, Koji Murata, said was probably because there is no oxygen in space for wood to burn in, and no living creatures that might cause it to rot(腐烂).
Different types of wood were tested, and LignoSat has been made of magnolia wood, which was found to be ▲ .
The launch date for LignoSat has not yet been decided, but it should go up on a US rocket some day in2024. The satellite will then spend six months in space before re-entering the Earth's atmosphere.
If LignoSat works well in space and the project is a success, then wood could be used to make more satellites in the future.
(1)、Japan will launch LignoSat into space because ____A、they would like to explore space using it B、they want to find new materials for satellites C、they don't want to dirty space any longer D、they want to check how strong the wood is(2)、What is the writer's purpose in writing Paragraph 4?A、To warn us not to make satellites made of metal in the future. B、To explain satellites made of metal are harmful to the environment. C、To show it is necessary to make satellites made of wood like Japan. D、To tell us it is necessary to use environmentally friendly materials to make satellites.(3)、Why is the wood not rotted easily in space?A、Because nobody destroys it in space. B、Because there is no atmosphere in space. C、Because there is little oxygen for wood to rot. D、Because there isn't any living creatures in space.(4)、Which of the following can be put into ▲ in Paragraph 7?A、the strongest B、the cheapest C、the heaviest D、the smallest(5)、What is the best title for the passage?A、Japan will launch a wooden satellite as early as 2024 B、Humans will explore better materials to make satellites C、Satellites made of wood will be the future of satellites D、Metal won't be used to make any satellites in the future -

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.
(1)、How does the writer start the passage?A、By telling a story. B、By reporting a piece of news. C、By raising a question. D、By giving some suggestions.(2)、What do the third and fourth paragraphs mainly tell us?A、Scientists have great hopes for these soil samples. B、Scientists look forward to studying the soil samples.

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

There are many types of dairy alternatives (乳制品替代品) on the market today, often made from things like nuts and soybeans.
But have you heard someone is now making butter f air?
A US company called Savor is won some dairy alternatives made using something that is all around us: carbon.
What does it taste like?
"I couldn't believe I wasn't eating rbutter, " Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates wrote in a blog post earlier in 2024.
He wrote, "It t 4really good— like the real thing, because chemically it is. "
Savor has already run taste tests with small groups of people. And it is tto get the permission from the regulators(监管机构) for its product in the US.
But why butter?
A 2021 study showed that food production makes uabout 35% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions(排放) — and Savor thinks that about 7% of greenhouse gas emissions are just from producing fat.
But Savor's process, Gates wrote, doesn't release(释放)agreenhouse gases. He added that it uses no farmland and less than a thousandth of the water that traditional agriculture does.
Savor is focusing on butter to start with partly bits high price point makes it easier to compete on cost. But the company later hopes to dother products like milk, ice cream, cheese——even meat.
"Man-made fats may s strange at first, " Gates wrote. "But they can greatly reduce our carbon footprint and their potential(潜力) is very large. "

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. " He hopes vehicles like ambulances that spend most of the day out driving will have the paint.
(1)、What does this new paint do?(2)、What is Radi-Cool?(3)、Why are the prices of cars with this kind of paint a bit higher?(4)、What is Dr Susumu Miura's dream?(5)、What do you think after reading this passage? Why? -

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.
Mailsuite made a list of more than 2, 600 pop culture terms and almost 64, 000 different ways of writing them.

Customers ordering a meal from Shake Shack in Los Angeles may have their next burger delivered(运送) by a robot on wheels.
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.

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. D、How the simulation works.(3)、The writer uses "more than 800, 000patients" in Paragraph 5 to tell us ____.A、health data was enough B、Foresight was accurate C、Foresight was believable D、too many people get illnesses(4)、What can we infer about Foresight?①It can predict a person's future.
②Patients can diagnose themselves by it.
③It is doctors' helper in diagnosing patients.
④It will play more and more important roles.
A、①② B、②③ C、③④ D、①④ -
