A Space Hotel Will Open Soon

A Californian company wants to build a hotel in orbit (天体等运行的轨道). The space hotel will open in 2027. It will be able to carry up to 400 people. The space hotel will be shaped like a large wheel, with 24 space pods (舱) around the outside of the 200-meter-wide structure. The pods will be used for restaurants, bars, gyms, rooms for tourists, laboratories for research and so on.

Researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai have made a new type of cloth that can be used as a digital display (数字显示) . Professor Peng Huisheng and his team have spent 10 years trying to make "digital cloth" with a silver-plated yarn (银镀纱) and a kind of thread. The cloth could allow a driver to view a GPS map on their arm while driving. It could also help people communicate better if they have language barriers or disabilities. 

A Gift Box Made from Mycelium

A UK company Seedlip has released (发布) a gift box that uses packaging (包装材料) made from mycelium (菌丝体). Seedlip is working with Magical Mushroom Company to make the packaging. Magical Mushroom adds mycelium to natural materials that farmers no longer need. As the mycelium tries to break the materials down, it grows threads (线) that form a strong and light material that can be used as packaging. And after being used, it breaks down naturally in about 40 days in a garden. 

 阅读下面材料, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

①Students at a primary school in California, with the help of their art teacher Jessica Martin created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times. In just days, the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour.

②Most people agree that the last couple of years have been stressful. Ms. Martin thought her students just might have the magic words needed to bring calm to people. Along with artist Asherah Weiss and students from kindergarten(幼儿园) to sixth grade, she worked on a project they called"PepToc". The project had two parts— one was the hotline and the other was creating encouraging posters. They had the same basic question for all the students:" What could you say to help or encourage someone else?"

③Students working on the hotline thought of what they would like to say. When they were ready, Ms. Martin recorded each one. Later, she put them into different parts of the telephone hotline. It is available in English and Spanish. For example, pressing I brings up ideas for people who are" feeling mad or nervous." Helpful suggestions include" hit your pillow(枕头)," or"     ▲     ". Pressing 2 results in" words of encouragement." This includes messages like" The world is a better place with you in it." Besides, it offers the happy voices of kids sharing positive(积极的) messages and the sounds of children laughing—a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone's face.

④Other students took part in making encouraging posters, which were put up around the town. Many posters had pieces of paper that people passing by could tear off(撕掉) and take with them. For example, one poster said" If you are mad, think of positive thoughts," and had tear- off paper reminding people to" Be happy."

⑤Ms. Martin thought the project would only draw interest from people near the school. But the hotline was soon getting hundreds of calls a day and then, thousands of calls an hour. Word of the hotline spread quickly on Internet. The hotline has become popular with stressed adults, patients in hospitals, older people in homes, and others who just want to hear the happy voices of children.
