【推荐3】Building a country is never easy. It takes hard work from generation (一代人) to generation. But how to make it disappear? A new report said long time of climate(气候) change can do that.
The report said Tuvalu (图瓦卢) will be the first country to be completely lost due to climate change.
Tuvalu is a Pacific island nation with nine islands and 12,000 people. It has long been at risk from rising sea levels. By the end of the century, it is believed that all the islands will be underwater, reported Reuters. So many people in Tuvalu have often moved around the country and even to other countries.
To help with the problem, the country plans to build its country in the virtual space (虚拟空间). This news made many people in Tuvalu excited. The virtual country will recreate the same scene and keep its cultural and historical records. No matter where they live in the real world, the people in this country will have their ID cards and “live” in its online cities and villages. The government hopes to manage and serve them in this virtual space.
“Though the virtual nation belongs to Tuvalu, it still brings some problems.” said Li Zuxi, director of virtual space lab of Qingbo Intelligent Technology, He gave us an example. If people from other countries enter the space of the virtual country but just show their names, how do people know if they do or do not truly belong to that country?
Li added that instead of trying our best to build virtual nations, it’s better to pay attention to saving the real world now.

【推荐2】In July 1969, two American astronauts arrived on the Moon. Their names were Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. If you visit the Moon today, you will still be able to see their footprints! Besides, they also left the American flag on the Moon.
When astronauts go to the Moon, they need to wear spacesuits and helmets(头盔), because sometimes the Moon is very cold and at other times it is very hot and the spacesuits can protect them. Helmets are worn to help them breathe because there is no air on the Moon.
Do you know that if you weigh 70 pounds on the Earth, you will weigh only 11.5 pounds on the Moon? And if you go for a walk on the Moon, you will bounce(弹跳) with each step.
Some people say the Moon is made out of Swiss cheese because there are many holes, called craters, on the Moon. The craters are caused by large rocks from space, hitting the Moon. Here is another interesting thing about the Moon. Do you know that the Moon is like a mirror? It reflects(反射) the light of the Sun and sends it to the Earth.

On Monday, China launched Mengtian, the last part of its Tiangong Space Station. After a 13-hour trip, Mengtian got together with the space station on Tuesday morning. Mengtian was launched from Hainan Island by a large rocket, a Long March 5B.
Back to 2011, China wasn't allowed (允许) to use the International Space Station, so China worked hard to build its own space station, called Tiangong. Last year, the launching of the three parts of Tiangong began. The first and most important part was launched in April 2021. It has the energy and working centre as well as the living area for the scientists in space. Then, in July 2022, China launched a lab cabin (实验舱) called “Wentian”. This time, the new part, Mengtian is also made as a lab cabin with 8 rooms for experiments (实验).
With Mengtian, scientists can do experiments outside the station by operating a machine arm. They can learn more about space. One of the first things they will do on Mengtian is to test how plants grow in space.
At the moment, there are three scientists on the Tiangong. They’ll return to Earth in December. But they may work with three new scientists who will arrive later. Tiangong is now large enough for six people to live and work.
China’s space station will also work with the European space scientists on some experiments on the Mengtian. China says that one day, foreign scientists will also be able to visit Tiangong.
1. When did China launch Mengtian?| A．On October 31st. | B．On November 2nd. | C．On November 3rd. | D．On November 4th. |
| A．2. | B．4. | C．6. | D．8. |
