Looking for your next culture fix? Explore the must-see exhibitions for the coming year.

The Adventure of Pottery, Kettles Yard, Cambridge

4 March - 25 June 2023

The potter, Lucie Rie, was a key figure in British post-war art. Her technical innovations permanently

extended the language of studio pottery. Her achievements range from functional tableware to elegant bowls and

vases. Rie's early pots from the 1920s and 1930s underline the modernist principles of clarity and innovation.

Birds of America, Compton Verney

1 July - 1 October 2023

Audubon's Birds of America examines the artistry and legacy of one of the world's rarest and largest books.

Published as a series between 1827 and 1838, Birds of America achieved international fame due to its epic scale

and the book's outstanding ornithological (鸟类学) illustrations. Compton Verney's grounds are a wildlife reserve,

making the perfect setting for the show.

Love Life, Charleston, East Sussex

1 September 2023 - 8 March 2024

David Hockney's rarely-seen drawings from the late 1960s and 1970s. In 2017, David Hockney, one of

Britain's most popular and recognizable artists, painted the words “Love Life” on the final wall of the show.

Explaining his actions, he said, “I love my work. And I think the work has love. Actually... I love life.”

Brittany Starks is a single mother of two working multiple jobs in Tennessee. Her life has not been easy. In the

past few years she has been homeless, suffered from severe depression, had to care for a sick child, and was

almost killed in a car accident.

It was the accident, she says, that aroused in her a desire to spread kindness in all the ways she could. She

became focused on taking every opportunity she had to help those in need. On August 4, Starks offered free hair-

braiding (发辫) services to her community. “I thought I was only going to get five to seven kids but I had 35,”

Starks said.

Her inbox was quickly flooded with requests for appointments and Starks found herself working every night

for two weeks straight into the early hours of the morning. “I wanted to do something for the parents like me

whose money is going to be feeding their children and making sure they have a roof over their head,” Starks said.

“I wasn't expecting a big reaction. I thought Id maybe get five kids or so, but I didn't realize how huge the need

was for this.” And the requests keep rolling in with many parents willing to come from out of state.

So many requests that she has had to call in extra support. She's also launched a GoFundMe to help pay for the

hairstyling supplies she was initially paving for herself. “I didn't want to make a GoFundMe but I had so many

people asking me to make one so that they can donate,” she said.

Starks says once the back to school rush is over, she plans to keep up the effort once a month for children all

over Nashville. “Doing this makes me happy,” she said. “The smile on the children's faces are priceless. It brings

me so much joy to know I made a difference in their life.”

D. Starks will keep on spreading kindness all over Nashville.

For the first time, scientists have successfully grown plants in lunar soil brought back to Earth by NASA's

Apollo astronauts. Researchers had no idea if anything would sprout (发芽) in the harsh moon dirt and wanted to

see if it could be used to grow food by the next generation of lunar explorers.

“After two days, they started to sprout!” said Anna-Lisa Paul, a professor in Horticultural Sciences at the

University of Florida, who took part in the experiment. “Everything sprouted. I can't tell you how astonished we

were! Every plant --- whether in a lunar sample or in a control ( 参照实验) --- looked the same up until about day

six.”

Robert Ferl of the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences and his colleagues

planted thale cress ( 鼠耳芥) in moon soil returned w Apollo 11's Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, and other

moon walkers. All of the seeds sprouted. But within a week, the coarseness ( 粗糙度) and other properties of the

lunar soil stressed the small, flowering weeds so much that they grew more slowly than seedlings planted in dirt

from Earth. Most of the moon plants ended up stunted (发育不良).

The longer the soil was exposed to tough cosmic radiation and solar wind on the moon, the worse the plants

seemed to do. The Apollo II samples --- exposed a couple of billion years longer to the elements --- were the least

likely for plants to grow, scientists said. One solution might be to use younger geologic spots on the moon, like

lava flows, for digging up planting soil. The environment also could be improved, changing the nutrient mixture

or adjusting the artificial lighting.

NASA said the timing for such an experiment was right, with the space agency looking to put astronauts back

on the moon in a few years. The ideal situation would be for future astronauts to make use of the endless supply of

available local dirt for indoor planting rather than set up a hydroponic ( 水培的) or all-water system, scientists

said. “The fact that anything grew means that we have a really good starting point, and now the question is how

do we optimize and improve,” said Sharmila Bhattacharya, NASA's program scientist for space biology.

28. Why did the scientists try to grow plants in the lunar soil?

A. To solve the food crisis in the world. B. To take more dirt from the moon.

C. To prepare food for future astronauts. D. To send more explorers to the moon.

29. What made the sprouted seeds end up stunted?

A. The very low quality of the soil. B. They flowered too much soon.

C. The polluted dirt on the earth. D. The change of artificial lighting.

30. What kind of moon soil would probably be suitable for plant growth?

A. The one receiving cosmic radiation. B. The one exposed to solar wind.

C. The one having a very long history. D. The one coming from lava flows.

31. What will scientists most probably do next?

A. Use available earth dirt for planting. B. Continue to grow plants in lunar soil.

C. Put more astronauts back on the moon. D. Set up a hydroponic or all-water system.

Yes, having a big name in science will help get your paper published, a new study confirms. Just 10% of'

reviewers of a test paper recommended acceptance when the only listed author was not well-known --- but 59%

endorsed the same paper when it carried the name of a Nobel winner.

The study, which involved inviting hundreds of researchers to review an economics paper, is incredible”, says

Mario Malicki, a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University and editor-in-chief of Research Integrity and Peer

Review, who was not involved in the research. “It is the largest randomized controlled trial we have seen on

publication bias (发表偏见).”

For years, scientists complained about the Matthew effect, a term invented in 1968 by sociologists Robert

Merton and Harriet Zuckerman to describe how high-status researchers tend to get disproportionately ( 不成比例

地) more of the same.

But efforts to document such bias often had weaknesses, such as a small sample size or lack of randomization.

To avoid those problems, a team led by Jürgen Huber of the University of Innsbruck emailed some 3300

researchers, asking whether they could review an economics study prepared for a real journal. The study had two

authors, both at Chapman University: Vernon Smith, a 2002 Nobel winner in economics and Sabiou Inoua, one of

Smith's former Ph.D. students. The potential peer reviewers were sent one of three descriptions of the paper. One

named only Smith, listing him as the corresponding author, another, only Inoua; and a third, no author.

Ultimately, 821 researchers agreed to review, the team reported last week at the International Congress on Peer

Review and Scientific Publication in Chicago. Smith's fame appeared to influence the responses: Of the

researchers given just his name, 38.5% accepted the invitation to review; the figures were 30.7% for those given

no name and 28.5% for those given just Inoua’s.

32. Which can replace the underlined word “endorsed” in the first paragraph?

A. Approved of. B. Contradicted. C. Ignored. D. Tolerated.

33. What do we know about Mario Malicki?

A. He once won a Nobel prize. B. He thinks highly of the study.

C. He is an editor of Stanford University. D. He is the leader of the study.
