阅读理解

I bought two sachets(小香袋)of warm cinnamonspice(肉桂香料) while shopping today. Seeing I was fightingwith my crutches(拐杖), a staff helped to push myshopping cart to the door. I gave one to him and he was really pleased.

With so many things, I decided to take a taxi to go home. The driverput my things in the big box and was really lovely with small talk.

A song came on the radio and he sang along to it. It was StevieNicks. He then told me that about20 years ago, he took a "Will you marryme, Stevie?" banner(横幅) to her concert. He saidthe band were pointing to it and laughing during the performance.

When we arrived at my house, he asked if I would be able to get thefour shopping bags out of the box myself. Of course I said yes and with mystrong independent nature, I said that I could manage. He was kidding though.He brought the shopping bags up to the door. As he got back into the car, somethingtold me to gift the other sachet to him. By this stage, he was already back inhis car. He rolled down the window. I told him I wasn't Stevie Nicks, but herewas a gift that would make him smell sweet-smelling. He laughed and told me Iwas an angel (天使).

This was a lovely, fun and warm exchange. He was not smelling roses(玫瑰花), but in the Christmas season, it was much better to smell warmcinnamon spice. As for me, I would rather be an angel than Stevie Nicks,although I'm sure she's lovely.

(1)、The writer gave the staff a sachet to _______________________.
A、ask him for help B、show his kindness C、help him have less pressure D、stop fighting each other
(2)、The driver asked the writer to take away her shopping bags by herself because he _______________________.
A、hurried to pick up another passenger B、didn't have the duty to do it C、played a joke on the writer D、thought the writer could do it
(3)、We can infer(推断) the driver might _______________________.

As is known to us, microbes (微生物) help us do lots of things here on the earth. They can make bread rise and treat some illnesses among many other things. Researchers have done lots of experiments (实验) with microbes in space. And their latest findings show that these microbes could be very helpful for us to learn more about space.

Last summer, the European Space Agency did an experiment at the International Space Station. In this experiment, three kinds of microbes were tested on their ability to pull REES (稀土元素) out of rocks in three different kinds of gravity (重力).

This way of using microbes to get materials from rocks is known as bio-mining (生物开采). We've been doing it for some time here on the earth, mainly to get gold and other materials. But here comes a serious question. Would it work in space? These researchers found the proper answer in their experiments.

The results were encouraging. Of the three kinds of microbes. one was able to pull 14 kinds of REES out of rocks in all three kinds of gravity. The rocks used in the experiment were made of a kind of rock that is commonly found on the earth, Mars and the moon.

While the results might be useful, how can they help us learn more about space? For one thing, space research in the future will require us to find materials on the moon and Mars. Therefore, we are able to use these things to continue our research efforts. And bio-mining can help us do this cheaply and easily. It's one of the exciting news to the scientific field.

A US high school with only 200 students is producing some of the world's best technology. 

Students at this school made cars with improved fuel efficiency(燃油效率) and other inventions, too. And now, the students are designing a washing machine for outer space. They hope it will be accepted by NASA or us. 

NASA asked for ideas through ifs HUNCH program, which is short for "High School United with NASA to Create Hardware". Braham Area High School is one of the 100 schools in the program. 

The challenge is to come up with a good way to wash clothes on long-time space tasks, where air and water don't mix and soap can't be used. On shorter space tasks, astronauts simply throw away their dirty clothes. For longer tasks, a different solution is needed. 

The team has already built a system using a series of pumps(泵) and vacuum chambers(真空室),but NASA were afraid that it might not be durable(耐用的). 

The washing machine isn't the only NASA project Brahma students are working on. They're also designing and building a track system to hold equipment. NASA said it plans to use their system. 

They're also designing an automated(自动化的) feeding system for space mice. NASA regularly takes mice into space as test subjects. 

"To get a kid to do something that they never thought they could do, that's really great! " said Luke Becker, the school's technology teacher. "There are kids who never planned to do anything in technology until they had these chances. "

 阅读短文 从下面每题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

 Have you ever seen chipmunks (花粟鼠) ? They look very much like squirrels, but they spend much of their time on the ground. People name this animal chipmunk because they make the special chip - chip sound. There are as many as 25 kinds of chipmunks, and most live in North America. A wild chipmunk can live for 2 to 5 years.

 Chipmunks are very small, and they enjoy living alone. When they are two months old, they leave their mothers to live by themselves. They build their own homes and start collecting food there all by themselves. They do not like living or making friends with other chipmunks much.

 Unlike other hibernating (冬眠的) animals, chipmunks do not live on body fats during winters. They collect and keep food during summers and eat it during winters. In winter, they don't sleep all the way through the winter. They are light sleepers and wake up every few days to eat food.

 Chipmunks may not be as popular as pet dogs or pet cats, but they can be good ones. They can feed on many things from vegetables and fruits to nuts(坚果) and bird eggs. They sleep at night, so you don't have to look after them during night time. But you have to remember one thing— chipmunks have trust problems, so it takes time for them to become close to you.
