A
Last mnth, I mved abrad fr tw years t study, taking just a single suitcase with me. I culdn’t affrd t keep my frmer flat, s when it came t my pssessins (物品), extreme measures were called fr. Sme f my stuff, like bks, I culd give them away. But there was a list f things like precius paintings and my childhd teddy bear that I culdn’t bring myself t let g. S I decided t ffer these things up fr lng-term lan. It’s nt recycling. I’m calling it “share-cycling”. I made the decisin as I imagined smene I lved putting my tent nt their back and setting ff int the cuntryside in the summer sunshine. This made it feel as thugh I wuld still, in sme way, be with my friends. And nce I’d cme up with the idea, it just grew and grew. I decided t give away everything I wned!
T get rid f all, I invited everyne I knew t take my belngings. When the peple first came rund, they all sat arund drinking tea and glancing at the cupbards. I was beginning t wnder why I had asked them t g thrugh my stuff and take what they wanted. But sn I became like a sales assistant. I recmmended nvels, waved tys at babies, and brught ut clthes fr peple t try n.
Nw I am sitting in a flat n the ther side f the wrld. I feel very far frm my hme, and frm my stuff. That list I made f the things I want back? I’m nt sure hw much I’ll need it. S far, I haven’t missed any f my pictures, r thse memrable things. Instead, I’ve missed my family, my friends, and my city.
My “share-cycling” plan ties me back t them. A friend tk my tent t a music festival. And my favurite picture ended up n the wall f my best friend’s flat. This is what gives me a real buzz: the thught f all my bits and pieces in my friends’ lives, a physical reminder f ur ties. It’s like I’ve pressed “pause” n my city life rather than “stp”, making the mve easier.

What time it is varies depending n which f Earth’s time znes yu are in. But what if yu aren’t anywhere n Earth? Scientists frm the Eurpean Space Agency (ESA), a grup devted t explring the universe, are arguing that the Mn shuld have its wn time zne t.
At the mment, missins t r invlving the Mn use the time zne f the cuntry that is perating the spacecraft. ESA argues that a specific time zne fr the Mn wuld make it easier fr space agencies frm arund the wrld t wrk tgether. Once missins make it t the Mn, having the same time zne wuld make it simpler fr astrnauts t cmmunicate and travel acrss its surface.
Setting up a lunar time zne is nt easy. Gravity affects hw quickly r slwly time passes. Since gravity is weaker n the Mn than it is n Earth, after 24 hurs, a lunar clck wuld be 56 micrsecnds ahead f a clck n Earth. Anther pint t cnsider is that a full day n Earth is measured by the length f time between tw sunsets, abut 24 hurs. On the Mn, the time between tw sunsets is nearly 709 hurs, which is abut 29.5 Earth days. This means that lunar nights can be arund tw weeks lng, with nly the Earth and the stars, n sun, in the sky. With all this t think abut, scientists need t decide whether it wuld be better t fllw a time zne n Earth, r fr the Mn t have its wn unique zne, which wuld have much lnger days.
NASA is planning t land humans n the Mn in 2025 with is Artemis Missin. There are als ther unmanned missins t the Mn planned fr later this year. Bernhard Hufenbach frm ESA said that if a wrking time system fr the Mn wuld be established, ESA culd then perhaps make ther planets in the slar system get ready fr stage.
6. What wuld happen if a time zne is set up n the Mn?
A. Missins t r invlving the Mn wuld be sped up.
B. Time spent n rcket launching wuld becme shrter.
C. Cperatin amng astrnauts n the Mn wuld be easier.
D. Spacecraft peratin amng cuntries wuld becme simpler.
7. Why is it difficult t set up a time zne n the Mn?
A. Clcks run slightly slwer n the Mn.
B. Lunar nights last nearly ne-mnth lng.
C. N sun can be seen in the sky n the Mn.
D. A full day f the lunar time is much t lng.
8. What wuld ESA d in the future accrding t Bernhard?
A. It wuld set up wrking time systems n ther planets.
B. It wuld wrk with ther cuntries t explre the space.
C. It wuld send mre astrnauts t planets in the slar system.
D. It wuld help NASA with ther unmanned missins t the Mn.

Black-faced spnbills, a rare and endangered species, were als sptted at Dngting after an absence f five years. The number f spnbills has increased frm 300 in the 1980s t mre than 5,000 presently, accrding t the Natinal Frestry and Grassland Administratin.
