24、What will astronauts eat when a space trip takes years?

“Lots of fresh vegetables,” says Dr. Janet Williams, whose team have spent the last 10 years learning how to grow plants in a space station. And it’s a good thing that she has already started her work, because space gardening can be really hard.

As usual, astronaut George White looked into the closed plant room. He had planted Dr. Williams’s quick-growing seedlings in it, but none of the stems were showing. He opened the room to check and found the problem. The stems weren’t growing upward and the roots weren’t growing downward. On Earth, gravity helps a plant’s stems and roots to find “up” and “down”. However, in the space station, there was almost no gravity.

Dr. Williams suggested a solution: give the plants more light, as plants also use sunlight to find their way. And it worked. When the plants had more light, the stems turned up and the roots went down.

Now Dr. Williams was free to worry about the next problem: Would her baby plants live to flower? Can we grow food on a space journey?

Many plants died in the space station. Dr. Williams thought she knew why: the space plants were hungry for air. Plants live by taking up CO2 from the air. Since a plant uses it up in the air around, the plant needs moving air to bring more CO2 close to its surface. On Earth, the air is always moving—gravity pulls down cold air, and warm air rises. And with these air movements, plants get enough CO2.

Many earlier experiments with plants in space had used closed rooms. Dr. Williams tried a new greenhouse that had a fan to keep the air move. The plants loved it. They flowered and even produced more seeds. Using Dr. Williams’s method, astronaut George completed the first seed-to-seed experiment in space, and moved one plant closer to a garden in space.

“And this,” says Dr. Williams, “is good news for long-term space travel.”

【1】Why have Dr. Williams’s team tried to grow plants in space?

A．To produce fresh air for astronauts.

B．To help astronauts relax themselves.

C．To provide food for long space journeys.

【2】How did light help solve the problem mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A．It caused the gravity to change.

B．It encouraged the plants to grow faster.

C．It helped the plants to grow in the right direction.

【3】Why did many plants die in the space station?

A．The air condition was not good enough.

B．There was too much CO2.

C．There was not enough room to grow.

【4】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refers to ________.

A．the moving air

B．the closed room

C．the space garden

【5】What can we learn about Dr. Williams’s team from the passage?

A．They mainly live on fresh vegetables.

B．They have worked on space gardening for many years.

C．They have successfully built a space garden.

25、Are you happy most of the time? Or do you easily get angry sometimes? Everyone has a different temperament(脾气). It is usually believed that both genes(基因) and environment may affect people’s temperaments in different ways. Scientists have found that the season of the birth also plays a role.

Scientists from Budapest, Hungary, studied 400 university students. In the study, the students need to finish a questionnaire(问卷). The purpose of it was to find out which of four kinds of temperaments they most had. From the questionnaire, scientists found that the students always answered something like ＂My mood often changes for no reason.＂and ＂I love to deal with new projects, even if it is risky.＂These answers were then matched with their birthdays.

They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods compared to people born in winter. Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer.

The study also found that those born in autumn less probably had a mood of depression which may easily drive them to cry, while those in winter were not easier to be angry.

Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body. And the chemicals are important to control people’s moods even in adult life.

＂It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your chance of developing certain mood disorders(紊乱) ,＂ lead scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph.
