In the depths of space orbits is an intergalactic(星系际的) space station.Living here are some of the smartest scientists and their families.After traveling billions of miles,two scientists,Clyde and Klara Klosno,and their kids Kelvin and Bula,are the newest members of the space station.This is a story told in the new book,Sci-Fi Junior High,written by Scott Seegert and illustrated by John Martin.

Seegert,a former engineer,was inspired to give writing a try at age 45 after reading a book written by a famous writer.After working on that book for three years,Seegert’s hard work paid off when it was published in 2007.After that success,he decided to focus on writing books for kids.

Martin always loved to write and draw.As a kid,he spent evenings and weekends watching cartoons and drawing superheroes.Martin said he was “avoiding homework”,without realizing that he was really working towards his future career.Martin went on to study art at a college and became a successful illustrator.

Seegert and Martin grew up during the same time and had similar interests.As kids,both read comic books,watched superhero shows and enjoyed alien movies.

Their first cooperative work was the book Vordak the Incomprehensible.The two went on to write more books together and have received many awards for their work.For Sci-Fi Junior High,they started with a very general idea,and then focused on the characters to tell the story.

Seegert and Martin work really well together.They even work in the same art studio in Farmington,Michigan.They work in separate rooms but have an in-between door so they can always consult each other in person.“Many times nowadays,you might see an author and illustrator working together,but they have never even met,” Seegert said.“We work differently from most children’s book authors and illustrators.”

It is a sight guaranteed to lift everyone’s spirits—the great migration of southern right whale(南露脊鲸) calves and their “very protective” mothers.

People living on the eastern coast of Australia are used to seeing the annual migration of humpback whales(座头鲸),but these southern right whales have also been spotted over the past two months.Some have even travelled into beaches and bays,to the delight of lucky locals.

While Australia’s southern right whale population is usually concentrated on the southern coastline of the Great Australian Bight,Western Australia,South Australia and Victoria,the beautiful creatures have taken risks swimming into New South Wales (NSW) this winter.They are on the endangered list,with about 270-275 around South Australia and Victoria.

Around July 18,a single mother and her calf were even spotted changing direction a little off course,heading into the Hawkesbury River near Sydney’s Palm Beach.Based on the NSW south coast,Maree Jackson saw the whales in multiple places over a week in August.“They seem to like to bring their babies into shallow water and move towards rock formations,” Jackson said.“They keep their babies close to the shore line.I think it’s protection rather than anything else.They are very different from the humpback whales.Humpbacks are further out to sea and allow their calves to be much more independent.Humpback mums will let their calves play around.They will also come up to beach.” Listed as endangered since 2000,southern right whales are distinguishable by their black colour.

Whales migrate annually for feeding and reproducing purposes.The federal Department of Agriculture,Water and the Environment said that the exact timing of the migration period varies from year to year “depending on water temperature,sea ice,predation(捕食) risk,food abundance and the location of their feeding ground”.The majority migrate from June to August before heading back towards the Southern Ocean and Antarctica from September to November.

8.How did the locals feel when they saw southern right whales?

A.Pleased. B.Upset.

C.Confused. D.Confident.

9.Where can Australia’s southern right whales be usually spotted?

A.In Victoria.

B.In NSW.

C.In Northern Australia.

D.In Eastern Australia.

10.Why do southern right whale mothers bring their babies into shallow water?

A.To ask for help.

B.To enjoy a different life.

C.To protect the baby whales.

D.To search for rock formations.

11.What is the essential goal of whales’ migration?

A.They want to travel along the coastline.

B.They want to please the local people.

C.They want to escape being hunted.

D.They want to give birth to babies.

Plants don’t have ears or a central nervous system,but new research out of the University of Missouri has demonstrated that they might still have the ability to “hear”.More specifically,plants have been shown to exhibit an immune(免疫) response to the mere sound of a hungry insect.

For the study,researchers played the sound of a caterpillar chewing to a group of plants,which caused slight vibrations(振动) on the plants’ leaves.The plants were able to recognize these vibration patterns as danger,and responded by mounting the appropriate immune response.In other words,it appears that plants can “hear” themselves being chewed on.

Researchers assume that plants achieve this remarkable ability thanks to proteins that respond to pressure found within their cell membranes.Vibrations cause pressure changes within the cell,which can change the behavior of the proteins;however,additional study will be required to confirm or deny this theory.

Once researchers identify the exact mechanisms at play in this process,it could lead to advances in crop protection.Farmers could potentially learn to use sound to cause a plant’s natural chemical defenses against insect threats,rather than turning to poisonous chemicals.

“We can imagine applications of this where plants could be treated with sound or genetically engineered to respond to certain sounds that would be useful for agriculture,” said study author Heidi Appel.

The study adds to the growing list of ways that plants have been shown to sense their environments.They are not the boring organisms that many people assume they are.For instance,some plants are able to communicate with each other and signal upcoming danger to their neighbors by releasing chemicals into the air.Plants can respond to light (think about sunflowers) and temperature.Some can even respond to touch,such as the Venus flytrap(捕蝇草),which snaps shut when an insect stimulates its hairs.

12.Why did researchers carry out the study?

A.To find out if plants can react to sounds.

B.To learn how plants recognize dangers.

C.To discover if plants can shake their leaves.

D.To see how plants improve immune systems.

13.What’s the potential use of researchers’ discovery?

A.To remove insects.

B.To protect crops.

C.To treat plant diseases.

D.To produce chemicals.

14.What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?

A.There are more plants than we know.

B.Plants are more active than we think.

C.Plants fit in well with their environments.

D.Lots of secrets about plants remain unclear.

15.What can be the best title for the text?

A.Can Plants “Talk” with Each Other?

B.How Do Plants Make Use of Sounds?

C.Can Plants “Hear” Themselves Being Eaten?

D.How Do Plants Defend Themselves against Attacks?

Now I live in Paris.Actually,I don’t mind the food or the people,but I do care about the land that is extraordinarily lack of characteristics of hiking.I enjoy being outdoors and hiking,but Paris’s natural resources don’t hold much potential for my bent(爱好).So when my dad asked if I wanted to go hiking with him,I was overjoyed.　16　 It turned out that I was too optimistic. 

We started our main hike up Flattop Mountain.As we hiked it was much more challenging than I expected.　17　 The path is winding and we saw mountains towering over the green valleys and cliffs that seemed endless.What amazed me most was that thick clouds enveloped the mountainsides.　18　 

I stared up at the top to see how much farther we had to go and I began to worry that I wouldn’t finish it.　19　 It made me doubtful about my persistence(坚持).But when we looked back at the path fading in the distance,I was filled with fulfillment with seeing how much we had done. 

Now,I start to reflect on how hiking is similar to other aspects of my life.　20　 It reminded me of my struggles in my classes and the difficulties I had to overcome.I spot that the process of learning isn’t always the most fun,but the fulfillment after seeing how much I have finished just increases the thirst for knowledge,causing me to long for more learning. 

A.Hiking could make me fly.

B.Hiking gave time for my mind to wander.

C.I thought I would finish the journey with ease.

D.But I was shocked at the beauty surrounding me.

E.I was satisfied with the landscape along the way.

F.It was unlike anything I had ever witnessed before.

G.A recent ankle injury had left me unsure of my physical capabilities.
