Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings (幼苗) aboardthe Tiangong space station and this experiment may offer key insights into howastronauts can grow food to support long-term space missions, experts saidon Monday. This experiment is the first to produce the complete life cycle of
the plant, which begins with a seed and ends with a mature () plantproducing new seeds.
The breakthrough was conducted in the Wentian space laboratory, whichwas launched into orbit on July 28, 2022. Three astronauts were conducting theexperiment smoothly and testing the plants according to the plan.
"The rice seedlings are growing very wel," said Zheng Huiqiong, aresearcher of the task, adding that the experiment also contained seedlings of asmall flowering plant often used by scientists to study mutations (变异). "Theastronauts will keep monitoring the plants, and if it is successful, they willcollect the newly produced seeds and bring them back to Earth for furtherstudies," she noted.
The flowering stage is crucial for plant reproductive development. "Wewant to investigate how micro-gravity can affect the plant flowering time andwhether it is possible to use the micro-gravity environment to control therelated process," she said.
Since the 1980s, China has been taking seeds of rice and other crops tospace to help them mutate and produce higher yields once they were planted onEarth. But growing rice in orbit is a different challenge due to the toughconditions of space such as micro-gravity and lack of air.
Rice has been a main food for astronauts since the early days of spaceexploration. Freeze-dried chicken and rice was the menu for the Apollo /mission, which carried the first humans to land on the moon in July 1969.
"But if we want to land on and explore Mars, bringing food from Earth isnot enough to provide for the astronauts' long journey and mission in space.We have to find a food source for long term space explorations, Zheng added.

C、Human beings is likely to explore further outer space. D、It inspires more countries to join in space explorations.(2)、What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 3 refer to?A、The mutation.

I have learned a great many things from playing football. And it haschanged my entire attitude towards life.
In my freshman year at high school, I was shy, had low self-confidenceand turned away from seemingly impossible challenges. On the first day offreshman practice, the team warmed up with a game of touch football.However, during the game, I didn't run as hard as I could, nor did I try toescape from my defender (防守者) and get open. The fact of the matter wasthat I really didn't want to be the one to make mistakes if I dropped the ball andthe play didn't succeed. I didn't want to take the responsibility of helping theteam because I was too afraid of making a mistake. That aspect of my characterled the first year of my high school life. I avoided asking questions in class,afraid they might be considered too stupid by my classmates.
During my second-year season, my position at backup guard(替补后卫)led me to play in the games since another backup guard on my team wasseriously injured. From then on, I made mistakes sometimes and was criticised(批评) by my coaches indeed. However, those criticisms didn't make myteammates look down upon me, but they helped me a lot. At times I made greatplays, for which I was congratulated. Now, I feel like a changed person.
Over the years, playing football has taught me what it takes to succeed.From months of tough practices, I have learned to work hard. From my coachesand teammates, I have learned to work well with others in a group. But mostimportantly, I have attained self-confidence. I realize that it is necessary to riskfailure in order to obtain success. Now, I welcome the challenge.

Compared with physicists such as Marie Curie or Richard Feynman, WuChien-shiung is not a household name in China but she was one of the mostinfluential nuclear physicists of the 20th century, one that "completely"changed human's view of the universe.
Wu's father, Wu Zhongyi, founded the first school for girls in Taicang,aiming to break the old idea that it was women's virtue to have no talents,which had the greatest influence on Wu Chien-shiung's life. Working in thescientific world dominated (支配) by men, she never gave up or lowered herstandards even if unequally treated. After graduating from the former NationalCentral University in Nanjing in 1926, Wu registered at the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics.
During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist, Wu's pioneeringachievements won her nicknames such as "Chinese Madame Curie", "queen ofnuclear research" and "first lady of physics". She was the first woman to bepresident of American Physical Society, the first female winner of theComstock Prize in physics given by the US National Academy of Sciences, thefirst person to receive the Wolf Prize in physics, the first honorary doctorateawarded by Princeton University to a woman, and the first female professor ofphysics in the history of Columbia University.
To get accurate results from experiments, she worked very hard day andnight at a laboratory and gained a reputation (名声) for accuracy. There was asaying among physicists: If the experiment was done by Wu, it must be correct.
She was always very careful in experiments, spending a great deal of timecalibrating (校准) instruments. She didn't start collecting data until she fullyunderstood the instruments. Her experiments overturned many previousexperimental results and theories, said Samuel Chao Chung Ting, Americanphysicist and Nobel Prize winner.
On Feb 16, 1997, Wu died in the US. According to her will, she wasburied in her hometown Taicang. She was a distinguished world citizen, andwas forever a Chinese.

C、No scientists were better than Wu Chien-shiung. D、We cannot stress the importance of physics enough.(3)、Which of the following can best describe Wu Chien-shiung?A、Caring and responsible. B、Courageous and creative. C、Stubborn and sensitive. D、Cautious and hardworking.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、An influential woman nuclear physicist. B、An important contribution to physics.
