Animals were the real pioneers of space flight. Let us learn about some animals that have been to space.

A．Fruit flies

On February 20, 1947, the United States sent some fruit flies into space to study the impact that cosmic

radiation (宇宙辐射) might potentially have on astronauts in the future. They chose flies because they are

genetically similar to humans.

When they returned to Earth, the scientists found the flies alive, with no evidence of the effects of radiation.

B．Mice

Mice have long been used to find out more about how space travel will affect the human body. In fact, NASA

has recently published a study of mice housed at the International Space Station. It shows that mice quickly adapt

to microgravity (微重力) conditions.

The very first mouse went into space in 1950, reaching an altitude of 137km. However, unlike the fruit flies,

the mouse died when the rocket broke into parts due to a parachute (降落伞) failure.

C． Dogs

Laika, a Russian homeless dog, went to space on November 3, 1957. She was picked up on the streets and

was thought suitable because she had a gentle temperament (性情) and behaved well. The scientists also believed a

homeless dog would be better at dealing with difficult conditions like microgravity than a pet dog.

Laika is famous for being the first animal to orbit (环绕……运行) the Earth. However, she never returned.

D．Spiders

In 1973, two garden spiders called Anita and Arabella were used in an experiment to see if they could still

build webs in space.

Both spiders managed to build webs, even though the webs were slightly finer than on Earth. The study

showed a great deal about the effects of microgravity on motor response (运动反应).

1．What can we learn about the mouse astronaut?

A．It failed to come back alive.

B．It couldn’t survive in microgravity conditions.

C．Its genes were similar to humans’.

D．It was the first animal to be sent to space.

2．Laika was chosen by the scientists for all the following reasons EXCEPT ________ .

A．her good temperament B．her identity as a pet dog

C．her ability to deal with microgravity D．her good behavior

3．What’s the purpose of sending the two spiders to space?

A．To compare the quality of webs they made on Earth and in space.

B．To study the impact of cosmic radiation on their survival.

C．To see how fast they could build webs in space.

D．To see whether they could build webs in space.

Student newspapers across the US are facing a dark reality. As they are free to read, they are making less

money than ever, meaning that such newspapers are finding it hard to survive.

Most college papers have reduced their print editions (版本). Last year, the Daily Tar Heel printed a paper

four days a week. This year, it prints a paper every three days. And while it used to produce around 22,000

newspapers each time, it only makes around: 10,000 now, said Erica Perel, general manager.

Increasingly, student journalists have turned their focus to digital versions of their newspapers, and the new

ways that social media allows them to tell stories. They’ve adapted their skills to mirror what’s going on in the

professional journalism world.

“I think we’re adapting very well…in moving away from that print edition. But it’s challenging.” said

Jonathan Carter, a student at North Carolina State University. So what should student newspapers do? LoMonte

said the best solution would be for universities to financially (财经的) support student journalism. University

leaders like to talk about producing responsible students, he said, and journalism is a part of that.

In the meantime, campus newspapers are figuring out their financial models as they go along. Bruce

dePyssler, adviser to North Carolina Central University’s Campus Echo Newspaper, said his students post one

story a day online. The best stories are put together for a once-a-semester print edition.

And even if student journalists don’t go into media jobs, Perel said, “They’ve still had a great education.”

“The number one thing that we teach is critical thinking (批判思考) and how to be a lifelong learner, ” she said,

“The ones who are living through this transition (过渡) are the ones that are going to be a lot stronger for it in the

end.”

4．What do most college newspapers do to face the dark reality?

A．Improve printing quality. B．Reduce print editions.

C．Lower advertising fees. D．Increase paper price.

5．What does LoMonte suggest student newspapers do to survive?

A．Ask colleges for money. B．Continue with paper versions.

C．Publish more digital editions. D．Create their own financial models.

6．Who thinks campus newspapers are trying a new financial model?

A．Jonathan Carter. B．LoMonte.

C．Bruce dePyssler. D．Perel.

7．What’s the article mainly about?

A．The proud history of the Daily Tar Heel. B．Student newspapers are adapting well.

C．School newspapers are under pressure. D．How to refresh traditional newspapers.

According to a study published this week, habitual napping (打盹) appears to be associated with a large brain

volume in adults although experts stressed that further research was needed. It reduces the cost caused from the

lost time and the fatigue-related errors. The work followed previous studies that suggested a brief doze could

improve people’s ability to learn.

Arianna Huffington, a co-founder of Huff Post and the founder and chief executive of Thrive Global, said,

“Given the latest science on the effectiveness of napping and the clear link between employees feeling well rested

and their productivity, it’s long past time that businesses embrace short naps at work.”

Some businesses, including Thrive Global, have already introduced facilities for employees to take naps.

Google introduced sleep pods as far back as 2014 and companies like Nike and Ben & Jerry’s introduced nap

rooms. The practice has even been adopted by the NHS, with a growing number of hospitals introducing sleep

pods for staff in an effort to help them get more rest. Employees, it seems, are enthusiastic. Sean Greenwood, of

Ben & Jerry’s, said, “If a quick nap gets employees more involved and creative, we’re happy to provide that

for our team members.”

Unfortunately, the practice of napping still suffers from our collective concept that sleep equals weakness and

laziness. However, the performance-enhancing benefits of naps have been no secret to many leaders throughout

history. It also gives the higher-ups the chance to acknowledge the 24/7 culture and come up with top-

down solutions that encourage workers to take care of themselves in and out of work.

While sleep experts stressed that a daytime doze could be beneficial, they said it was crucial to get enough

shut-eye at the end of a day. It is the late stage of sleep, sometimes missed by early risers, that strengthens the

nerve circuits that make for learning and memory, allowing the brain to make and consolidate new neutral

connections. Additionally, prioritizing sufficient sleep during the regular nightly sleep period is essential for

overall well-being.

8．What is paragraph 1 mainly about?

A．Work stress. B．Learning abilities.

C．A research finding. D．The brain volume.

9．What is Arianna Huffington’s attitude toward napping?

A．Dismissive. B．Approving.

C．Unclear. D．Critical.

10．Why are so many companies mentioned in the passage?

A．To advocate enough rest. B．To praise creative employees.

C．To compare the differences. D．To present the current situation.

11．What will possibly be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

A．The approaches to shut-eye. B．The importance of napping.

C．The secrets to well-being. D．The benefits of memory.

It’s often said that we human beings can dream in a foreign language. Could dreaming in a foreign language

improve our memory? Does dreaming in a foreign language mean we are making progress in learning that

language?

Before we look at multilingual (多语言) dreams, first we need to look at sleep. The connection between sleep

and language can be applied to how we learn any language, including our native language. Even adults still learn

about one new word every two days in their first language. But, if we are going to remember that new word better,

what matters is that we need to connect it with what we have learned. And in order to do that, we “need to have

some sleep”, says Gareth Gaskell, a professor at the University of York.

It’s during sleep that the integration (整合) of old and new knowledge happens. At might, one part of our

brain — the hippocampus — takes whatever new information it receives during the day and passes it on to other

parts of the brain to be stored. The role that dreams play in this night-time learning process is still being studied,

but “it’s entirely possible that during multilingual dreams, the brain is trying to connect the two languages”, says
