Many people think their lives are very interesting and their dream jobs are to be the astronauts.

Second only to water, tea is one of the most popular drinks in the world. Whether you like it boiling hot, poured over ice, or served with milk and tapioca pearls, there’s a lot to love about tea. But how much do you know about it? Let’s test your knowledge to see if you’re a real tea master.
1.How many types of tea plants are there?
A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.
Although there are thousands of different types of teas, they all come from one plant—Camellia sinensis, a bush native to East Asia. The differences come from where the plants are grown and how their leaves are treated after harvest. Leaves used to make green tea are processed（加工）for instance, they can be lightly-steamed or oven-dried—while those used to make black tea are left to dry.
2.On average, which country’s citizens drink the most tea?
A.China. B.The United Kingdom. C.Turkey. D.Japan.
It’s true that the British have the reputation (名声) of being great tea lovers, but they don’t drink as much tea as the people of Turkey. A single Turkish citizen uses more than three kilograms of tea leaves per year, which is enough to make over 1,200 cups of tea!
3.When did tea become widely popular in Britain?
A.In the fifteenth century. B.In the sixteenth century. C .In the seventeenth century. D.In the eighteenth century.
Tea came to England from China in the seventeenth century, but it was so costly that only noble people could afford it. It wasn’t until the first tea shop opened in 1717 that common people got chances to drink tea. By the middle of the eighteenth century, nearly everyone in England was drinking tea.
4.Why did people start adding milk to tea?
A.To improve the flavor. B.To make it cool enough to drink. C.To protect their cups. D.To make it healthier.
In the 1700s, many average British folks didn’t have the strong, well-made tea sets that richer people used. Their thinner cups often broke when boiling water was poured inside. Adding milk first helped cool the tea and prevented the cups from breaking.
While tea lovers will argue (争论) endlessly about how to make a great cup, there’s only one rule. The perfect cup of tea is the one that tastes best to you. No matter how you like it, just enjoy!

Arctic fox(北极狐) is a kind of small fox that lives in the Arctic. It grows about 50 cm long, not including its tail, 30 cm tall and weighs from 3 to 7 kilos.
The Arctic foxes are white or blue in color. The white ones are white in winter, but gray-brown in summer. The blue ones are blue-gray all year round. The Arctic foxes have long, thick hair that is called fur. And the long fur covers their whole bodies, including both their cat eyes and rabbit feet, to keep them warm in the low temperature in the Arctic.
The Arctic foxes feed mainly on birds, birds’ eggs and other small animals. Teamwork is the way they look for food, and they don’t like to do that alone.
Baby Arctic foxes are very lovely. They don’t open their eyes until a week after their birth. For the first half of the year, their parents offer them food. They begin to look for food on their own when they are about six months old. The next year they can live alone.
Today the number of the Arctic foxes is becoming smaller and smaller, because people kill them for their fur to make beautiful coats for money. Something must be done to protect the Arctic foxes.

【推荐1】Plants are very important. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight (阳光). Animals and man can’t make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals can get their food by eating plants and other animals. Man gets his food by eating plants and animals, too, so animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why there are so many plants around us.
There are two kinds of plants-flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Almost (几乎) all the trees around us are flowering plants. You can know some trees from their flowers and fruits. Non-flowering plants do not grow flowers. You can’t see many non-flowering plants around you.

Have we ever thought what we read for, information or skills? How do we feel when we read, excited or upset? We read word by word aloud and think about them. Is that enough? I think reading is more than pronouncing or thinking about words.

【推荐1】More than fifty years has passed since the first satellite (人造卫星) in China was sent into space in 1970. From then on, many such inspiring moments were left in our memories.
The latest encouraging moment happened on June 5th, 2022. Shenzhou-14, China’s ninth manned spaceflight (载人宇宙飞行), successfully sent Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe into the Tiangong Space Station, where they will work and live for 6 months. More research work will be completed and great challenges are ahead waiting for them.
Years of preparations were made for the moment. For example, enough knowledge and skills helped deal with problems: physical and mental (心理的) training helped to keep the best condition. Although it’s the second time for Chen Dong and Liu Yang to fly into space, they again with Cai Xuzhe received hard training. As for Liu Yang, now a mother of two young kids, she believes it’s her duty to do that for our country and set a good example for her children.
The success also belongs to the team. Hundreds of engineers and workers are behind them, offering all kinds of supports to help them finish more tasks.

On April 26, 2024, the Shenzhou XVIII manned spaceship’s three astronauts, Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu successfully entered the space station and met with the Shenzhou XVII astronauts.
The crew (乘组) will carry out more than 90 experiments (实验) in space so that they can study microgravity in space, medicine and many other science topics.
This mission is special because it is China’s first space-based study of water ecosystems (生态系统). The astronauts brought a fish tank filled with water to the space station. Four zebra fish and algae (水藻) live in it. The algae can give the fish oxygen, keeping them alive. The tank can also feed the fish, control the temperature and lighting, and collect fish eggs by itself.
Why zebra fish? Because they share 87 percent of their genes (基因) with humans. Next scientists plan to take mice to space. They’ll raise them there and then bring them back to Earth for further study. Studying animals in space can help scientists understand how the human body reacts to space conditions.
The Shenzhou XVIII crew will return after six months in space. After that, they will help achieve China’s first manned landing on the Moon.
回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。1. When did the Shenzhou XVIII enter the space station?
2. How will the astronauts study microgravity in space?
3. What can algae do in the tank?
4. Why will the astronauts bring mice into space and raise them there?
5. What do you think of the mission of the Shenzhou XVIII crew?
What will the future be like? It’s possible that we may often fly up into space! Out of all the coolest inventions of the year 2004, Time magazine chose SpaceShipOne as the best.
SpaceShipOne is a 6-metre-long white spacecraft. On June 21, American pilot Mike Melvill flew it to space and back—about 100 kilometres up into the sky. Some might say it’s not a big success. You know, people went to the Moon years ago.
Well SpaceShipOne is special because it is the first spaceship that wasn’t made by the government. It was built and sent up by a private US company. Lots of people want to travel in space and think that it is an enjoyable trip. But it’s too expensive. American millionaire Dennis Tito paid almost US $20 million to become the first space tourist to visit the International Space Station in 2001. So private companies began to think of making their own spacecraft to take other tourists up into space.
Certainly, the success of SpaceShipOne is a good start. In the next 10 to 15 years, if you pay $20,000 to $100,000, you could fly high above the Earth in a special suit.
Can you imagine having your own spacecraft in your yard and taking it to space at the weekend?
