25、   If you stay in space for a long time, will your body change? Mark Kelly and Scott Kelly from the United States will show you the answer.

Mark and Scott are twins. They are both retired(退休的）NASA（美国国家航天航空局）astronauts. From 2015 to 2016,Scott spent 340 days at the international space station, while Mark stayed on the earth. People took measures of both men before, during and after the flight. They were helping with a NASA project which studies how long-term space travel influences the human body.

The full results of the study will come out in a year or two. But scientists are sharing some findings in the journal Nature.

A change in appearance was easy to see. Scott, when he returned to the earth, was 5cm taller before. Another change was that Scott's eyesight declined after he came back. He found he couldn't see clearly. He also found that he couldn't move his legs so easily like before. Scientist found that after coming back to the earth, he took a little longer to understand things and make decisions.

There were also changes that were much harder to see. As someone grows older, his telomeres(端粒）get shorter and become less effective to stop DNA from getting damaged. But during Scott's stay in space, his telomeres got longer while Mark's kept getting shorter.

Further tests on the twins are still going on.NASA plans to send people to Mars in the 2030s,and the twins' research could help them prepare for those space trips.

【4】What didn't Scott experience while he returned to the earth?

A.He couldn't understand others as well as before. B.He could walk faster than before.

C.His telomeres became longer. D.He grew taller than before.

【5】The last paragraph mainly tells us ____________.

26、   The British love word-play and they’re enthusiastic about protecting the use of their language. In recent years, books about the grammar, pronunciation and punctuation (标点) of English have been written by the dozen, and sold extremely well, reflecting people’s love of the English language. People want to protect the “correct” use of their language, but also to keep its ability to develop along with society. Lynne Truss’s book Eats, Shoots & Leaves is an excellent example of these two opposite ideas. Its title shows the way that punctuation can change meaning in a sentence. “Eats shoots and leaves” is a perfectly normal description of a panda’s diet: he eats the shoots(嫩芽) and leaves of bamboo trees. But the position of the comma (逗号) turns those nouns into verbs, and makes up a ridiculous little story: the panda eats (his dinner), he shoots (a gun), and he leaves (the building). It’s a silly joke, but it shows how changing something as simple as a comma can change the entire meaning of a sentence.

Published in 2003, Eats, Shoots & Leaves was an unexpectedly huge success. It is easy to assume the typical reader of this kind of book as the humourless type. However, the book has sold thousands and thousands of copies—it must be attractive to a wide range of people. The book’s winning secret is this: it makes some serious points about language and punctuation, but also has an amusing aspect, and uses stories and jokes to show its points. It has invited some tough criticism, too, especially from the US. On a broader range, Eats, Shoots & Leaves has opened up a lot of public argument on Truss’s ideas. Whether they agree with her or not, punctuation and grammar has become a popular topic to discuss.

In every generation there will be people who think that the standard of language is dropping, and who are more than happy to write to the newspapers to express their concern and opinions. Truss’s book also interest those who think that texting and blogging (博客) is lowering the standard of literacy(读写能力). Whether the standard of the English language is decreasing, or simply evolving into new forms, the success of Eats, Shoots & Leaves proves that this is a subject that many English speakers find interesting and important.

【1】The title of the book Eats, Shoots & Leaves is a joke which shows ______.

A. a funny feeling B. a tradition in writing

C. a grammatical point D. a fact about animals

【2】The book has been successful because ______.

A. it presents the new research on English

B. it solves a serious English language problem

C. it shows the British like to teach English to other people

D. it causes concern for proper use of language in a fun way

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The English language was better in the past.

B. The English language is being improved by technology.

C. There is often dissatisfaction with the standard of English.

D. There have always been arguments on the use of punctuation.
