Have yu ever thught abut what astrnauts eat when they’re in space? What wuld they eat if they had t travel all the way t Mars (火星) ? A lt f the fd astrnauts eat is prcessed (加工过的) because it’s simple t eat and easy t take int space. Hwever, sme vitamins (维生素) can break dwn if the fd is stred fr a lng time. Peple may have health prblems if they eat prcessed fd every day.
Grwing fresh fd in space might help astrnauts stay healthy. It wuld als give them mre fd chices. Fresh vegetables grwn n Earth have many nutrients (营养物质) that prcessed fd d nt have. Hwever, we dn’t knw if vegetables grwn in space are the same. Anther wrry is making sure that these vegetables dn’t have the bacteria r fungi (细菌或真菌) that culd make peple sick.
Luckily, we have a plant grwth rm called Veggie n ISS (the Internatinal Space Statin). We used Veggie t find ut if it’s pssible t grw nutritius and safe fd in space.
We used Veggie t grw red lettuce (红生菜) ver three years. We cmpared these (ISS-grwn) vegetables t thse grwn at the same time n Earth. They were grwn under the same cnditins as n the ISS. We did research n the leaves and rts f all the lettuce plants. And we did nt find any differences in nutrients between ISS-grwn lettuce and Earth-grwn prduce. This means that it is pssible t grw nutritius and safe fd n ISS and astrnauts shuld be able t eat vegetables grwn in Veggie withut wrrying abut getting sick.
Even thugh ur lettuce is safe t eat, we still need t wrk ut tw prblems. Firstly, there are mre bacteria and fungi n ISS-grwn lettuce. The wet envirnment in Veggie is prbably the reasn. Secndly, there are sme differences in nutrients between the vegetables we grew in different years. Plants can change with t much r t little water, but it is hard t water plants in zer gravity (零重力) . Therefre, we need t make sure that grwing envirnments are cnsistent in Veggie. Then astrnauts can be cnfident abut the nutrients in their fd during their lng stay in space.
40．The researchers grew red lettuce in Veggie t ______.
A．decide what kind f fd astrnauts shuld eat in space
B．find ut hw t keep astrnauts safe and healthy in space
C．check if fresh vegetables can be prcessed safely in space
D．test if it’s pssible t grw nutritius and safe fd in space
41．What can we learn frm the passage?
A．Earth-grwn vegetables are safer and have mre nutrients.
B．ISS-grwn lettuce f different years has different nutrients.
C．Scientists wanted t understand nutrients in prcessed fd.
D．Fewer bacteria and fungi were fund n ISS-grwn vegetables.
42．What d the underlined wrds “are cnsistent” in the last paragraph prbably mean?
A．Stay unchanged.B．Becme special.C．Stay cmfrtable.D．Becme enjyable.
43．The last paragraph suggests that ______.
A．Veggie plays an imprtant part in astrnauts’ healthy eating
B．astrnauts need t keep the plant grwth rm dry and clean
C．researchers didn’t find ut what fd culd be grwn in space
D．scientists need t d further research n planting fd in space

Traditins are imprtant. They tell us wh we are and wh we are becming. Traditins cnnect us t ur histry, present and future. When celebrating them, we feel accepted, cmfrtable and safe.
When we were yung, we all had traditins that were imprtant t us. As we have grwn lder, we still celebrate many f them in new places and in different ways. But have yu ever thught abut creating yur wn traditins? It’s a fun practice and can bring yu special memries! Here is hw yu can get started.
First f all, it is OK t try different ideas. Maybe yu have gt an idea yu lve, but n ne else des. It’s fine t try smething else. Remember that traditins can grw, develp and change ver time. When yur grup size r interests change, yu can change yur traditin accrdingly (相应地) t make it happen.
It’s a gd idea t ask mre peple t create traditins tgether. The reasn is that peple will find a traditin mre meaningful if they start it themselves. And there are many ways t let everyne take part. Fr example, yu can invite peple t help name the traditin r chse a date t celebrate.
Finally, traditins dn’t have t be big things. Find smething that is imprtant and celebrate it. Pick a favrite hliday, r seasn and find smething that yur friends r family like and d it. Yu dn’t have t start traditins n hlidays, either. Just pick a restaurant t eat at every year n birthdays r g t the same place seasnally. Pick a night f the week and make it family night. Play a game, watch a mvie r take a walk in a park, whatever wrks fr yur family. The mst imprtant thing is t find smething that is meaningful and that peple like.
Remember that the mre jyus r fun a traditin is, the mre likely yur family and friends will want t keep it. Yur traditins are just that—yurs.
44．What cnnects us t ur histry, present and future?

Dear Chris,
I’m glad t hear that yu are interested in learning abut Spring Festival custms. I’m writing t tell yu abut sme f them.
Spring Festival is ne f the mst imprtant festivals fr Chinese peple, and it’s always in January r February.
There are plenty f custms we shuld fllw during the Spring Festival. T begin with, we shuld put the Chinese character “Fu” upside dwn n drs, because that means we will be very happy in the cming year. Als, we must wear red clthes, which will bring us gd luck. Hwever, there are certain things we shuldn’t d. Fr example, we shuldn’t d any cleaning n the first day f Spring Festival, because we believe that we will sweep away gd luck. What’s mre, we shuld be very careful nt t break anything, because breaking things may bring bad luck.
I think Spring Festival custms are very imprtant and make Chinese New Year special and meaningful.

Have yu ever thught abut what astrnauts eat when they’re in space? What wuld they eat if they had t travel all the way t Mars (火星) ? A lt f the fd astrnauts eat is prcessed (加工过的) because it’s simple t eat and easy t take int space. Hwever, sme vitamins (维生素) can break dwn if the fd is stred fr a lng time. Peple may have health prblems if they eat prcessed fd every day.
Grwing fresh fd in space might help astrnauts stay healthy. It wuld als give them mre fd chices. Fresh vegetables grwn n Earth have many nutrients (营养物质) that prcessed fd d nt have. Hwever, we dn’t knw if vegetables grwn in space are the same. Anther wrry is making sure that these vegetables dn’t have the bacteria r fungi (细菌或真菌) that culd make peple sick.
Luckily, we have a plant grwth rm called Veggie n ISS (the Internatinal Space Statin). We used Veggie t find ut if it’s pssible t grw nutritius and safe fd in space.
We used Veggie t grw red lettuce (红生菜) ver three years. We cmpared these (ISS-grwn) vegetables t thse grwn at the same time n Earth. They were grwn under the same cnditins as n the ISS. We did research n the leaves and rts f all the lettuce plants. And we did nt find any differences in nutrients between ISS-grwn lettuce and Earth-grwn prduce. This means that it is pssible t grw nutritius and safe fd n ISS and astrnauts shuld be able t eat vegetables grwn in Veggie withut wrrying abut getting sick.
Even thugh ur lettuce is safe t eat, we still need t wrk ut tw prblems. Firstly, there are mre bacteria and fungi n ISS-grwn lettuce. The wet envirnment in Veggie is prbably the reasn. Secndly, there are sme differences in nutrients between the vegetables we grew in different years. Plants can change with t much r t little water, but it is hard t water plants in zer gravity (零重力) . Therefre, we need t make sure that grwing envirnments are cnsistent in Veggie. Then astrnauts can be cnfident abut the nutrients in their fd during their lng stay in space.
40．The researchers grew red lettuce in Veggie t ______.
A．decide what kind f fd astrnauts shuld eat in space
B．find ut hw t keep astrnauts safe and healthy in space
C．check if fresh vegetables can be prcessed safely in space
D．test if it’s pssible t grw nutritius and safe fd in space
41．What can we learn frm the passage?
A．Earth-grwn vegetables are safer and have mre nutrients.
B．ISS-grwn lettuce f different years has different nutrients.
C．Scientists wanted t understand nutrients in prcessed fd.
D．Fewer bacteria and fungi were fund n ISS-grwn vegetables.
42．What d the underlined wrds “are cnsistent” in the last paragraph prbably mean?
A．Stay unchanged.B．Becme special.C．Stay cmfrtable.D．Becme enjyable.
43．The last paragraph suggests that ______.
A．Veggie plays an imprtant part in astrnauts’ healthy eating
B．astrnauts need t keep the plant grwth rm dry and clean
C．researchers didn’t find ut what fd culd be grwn in space
D．scientists need t d further research n planting fd in space

Traditins are imprtant. They tell us wh we are and wh we are becming. Traditins cnnect us t ur histry, present and future. When celebrating them, we feel accepted, cmfrtable and safe.
When we were yung, we all had traditins that were imprtant t us. As we have grwn lder, we still celebrate many f them in new places and in different ways. But have yu ever thught abut creating yur wn traditins? It’s a fun practice and can bring yu special memries! Here is hw yu can get started.
First f all, it is OK t try different ideas. Maybe yu have gt an idea yu lve, but n ne else des. It’s fine t try smething else. Remember that traditins can grw, develp and change ver time. When yur grup size r interests change, yu can change yur traditin accrdingly (相应地) t make it happen.
It’s a gd idea t ask mre peple t create traditins tgether. The reasn is that peple will find a traditin mre meaningful if they start it themselves. And there are many ways t let everyne take part. Fr example, yu can invite peple t help name the traditin r chse a date t celebrate.
Finally, traditins dn’t have t be big things. Find smething that is imprtant and celebrate it. Pick a favrite hliday, r seasn and find smething that yur friends r family like and d it. Yu dn’t have t start traditins n hlidays, either. Just pick a restaurant t eat at every year n birthdays r g t the same place seasnally. Pick a night f the week and make it family night. Play a game, watch a mvie r take a walk in a park, whatever wrks fr yur family. The mst imprtant thing is t find smething that is meaningful and that peple like.
Remember that the mre jyus r fun a traditin is, the mre likely yur family and friends will want t keep it. Yur traditins are just that—yurs.

Dear Chris,
I’m glad t hear that yu are interested in learning abut Spring Festival custms. I’m writing t tell yu abut sme f them.
Spring Festival is ne f the mst imprtant festivals fr Chinese peple, and it’s always in January r February.
There are plenty f custms we shuld fllw during the Spring Festival. T begin with, we shuld put the Chinese character “Fu” upside dwn n drs, because that means we will be very happy in the cming year. Als, we must wear red clthes, which will bring us gd luck. Hwever, there are certain things we shuldn’t d. Fr example, we shuldn’t d any cleaning n the first day f Spring Festival, because we believe that we will sweep away gd luck. What’s mre, we shuld be very careful nt t break anything, because breaking things may bring bad luck.
I think Spring Festival custms are very imprtant and make Chinese New Year special and meaningful.
