Scientists say that hobbies can make kids smarter, healthier and even more successful when they grow up. How?
When you have a hobby, you learn new things. You have to read instructions. You look at websites, magazines and books to get more information about your hobby. More reading makes you a better reader and a better learner.
They Help You Be Creative
For many hobbies, such as building model cars and making pottery, you have to use your brain as well as your hands. We learn by doing things and by touching things. These kinds of activities make people more creative.
Having a hobby makes you feel good. Scientists say, “When you make something, the ‘feel-good’ part of your brain gets a message. It makes you feel happy.” When we feel happy, we have less stress. Too much stress can make people sick.
People with hobbies learn how to set goals and solve problems. Learning these skills when you are young can help you when you grow up. For some kids, having a hobby can be the first step to finding a satisfying job in the future.

5 . China Science and Technology Museum has teamed up with space experts to spark students’ interest in the final frontier by opening an experience center to share knowledge about the country’s Tiangong space station.
The museum says it hopes to help young people understand how the space station works and foster greater interest in China’s manned space program. The experience center’s first event on Monday attracted space enthusiasts of all ages. To satisfy the students’ curiosity, the museum even had a replica (复制品) of the Tiangong space station’s core module on exhibit.
“I learned that the core module of Tiangong actually has three parts. I thought it was just one,” said Lang Xujun, an eight-year-old student from Yuxin School in Beijing.

6 .

| C．It can classify images automatically. |
| D．It can encrypt data on the original platform. |
7 . Aside from being beautiful and promoting growth, the team observed that due to these lights, they needed to use 50 percent less pesticides (杀虫剂) on the crop. This is because this specific recipe of lights activated the defense system of the plants. And as it works on all crops, not just leeks, Roosegaarde foresees a way to reduce the use of pesticides on many other plants. And his project will soon be touring 40 countries, and sending its dancing lights across the world.
Why are less pesticides needed on the crop with the lights alongside?
| A．The lights make it more resistant to pests. |
| B．The lights kill off most of the pests on it. |
| C．The lights are too bright for pests to tolerate. |
| D．The lights are equipped with a defense system. |
8 . Companies which sell liquids like drinks or shampoo rely on bottles for their packaging. Usually these bottles are made of plastic or glass. But as customers have become more concerned about the environment, many companies have begun working to develop paper bottles.
Paper bottles are easy to recycle. They also weigh less than glass or plastic, meaning they’ll require less energy to produce and to move around. They’re usually made from wood pulp (纸浆), which is pressed into a mold (模具) to create the bottle shape. Since paper is soft and easy to mold, companies can design their bottles to take almost any shape they choose.
What’s the main purpose of developing paper bottles?
| A．To make packaging less heavy. |
| B．To reduce the use of raw materials. |
| C．To be more environmentally friendly. |
| D．To cut down on the costs of packaging. |
