①Have you heard of mourning (悼念) technology?

②Last night is really unusual for me. I couldn’t imagine I could speak to my parents. And for a moment I even forgot I wasn’t really speaking to real them, just their virtual images (虚拟形象). In fact, both of my parents are still alive and well. But the virtual images could help me understand the technology, which is an APP created by a company called Here After Al.

③Mourning technology can let you communicate with the people you have loved but lost. This used to appear in science fiction. But now it has come into our real life. Maybe it sounds some scary, but it’s not difficult to see that more and more people might turn to the virtual images for comfort.

④However, there is still something imperfect. These virtual images are just facades (表象), but in fact they don’t know anything about you. Anyone who talks to them can get almost the same answer. The biggest problem with the technology is that you can’t create a person who is only right for you.

⑤A virtual image that can hold more conversations with you helps make you feel connected to the person you loved but lost. But a sad person needs to know that only a small part of a person can be captured (捕捉) by these images instead of replacing healthy, normal human relationships.

⑥At the same time this also brings other risks when creating a virtual image, such as moral (道德) problems. Some may think that it’s less important to a person who is already dead. But what if the person isn’t actually dead? Should he or she have a say, too?

⑦If virtual images really come fully into our lives, there’s no doubt that we need new rules about what we leave online. But if we deal with the possibility of misusing virtual images before, rather than after, they are widely used, our lives will be better.

⑧Luckily, I still have the valuable chance to spend more time with my father and mother, face to face, without technology.

【推荐1】On the morning of Nov. 24, China made history by starting the world’s first lunar return mission(月球返回任务)of the past 44 years. On that day, a Long March 5 rocket was sent into space by carrying the Chang’e 5. The mission lasted for 23 days and it is special for several reasons.

A return mission

Chang’e 5 marked China’s first take off from the moon to carry samples(标本)back. This success shows China has mastered the technology for travelling between the Earth and the Moon, which also will help with China’s future space research. The last lunar sample return mission was Luna 24 of the former Soviet Union(苏联)in 1976.

Larger samples

Chang’e 5 collected 1,731g of lunar samples, while the former Soviet Union sent back only 330g. “These samples will be a treasure,” said a US Professor Jolliff, “My hat is off to Chinese scientists for completing a very difficult mission.”

A new landing site

Chang’e 5’s lunar landing site is known as the Ocean of Storms. It’s on the near side of the moon. No probes( 探测器 )have visited that place before. The samples collected here provide the youngest ones ever tested: just 1.2 billion years old. Samples from the U.S. and the former Soviet Union landing sites are more than 3 billion years old, scientists say.

1. From the first paragraph, we know that ________.
A.Chang’e 5 is a rocket
B.Chang’e 5 returned on No. 24
C.the mission started 44 years ago
D.the mission lasted over three weeks
2. Professor Jolliff showed his ________ to Chinese scientists by saying “My hat is off”.
A.respectB.hopeC.surpriseD.happiness
3. China chooses the Ocean of Storms as the landing site because ________.
A.it’s most likely to have water
B.it’s not difficult to land there
C.younger samples may be found there
D.other countries lander probes before
