Like you, plants need good things like food, water, and minerals in order to grow. Usually they get these important nutrients(营养) from the rich soil(土壤) in which they're planted. But there's another way to grow plants that doesn't use soil. It's called hydrogenic gardening.

    "Hydrogenic" means "working with water. " In a hydrogenic garden, plants grow with their roots in water, not in dirt The water is filled with special food for the plants that gardeners have carefully measured and prepared.

    Hydrogenic plants grow quickly. In ordinary gardens, plants need time and energy to grow long roots that search the soil for food and water. In a hydrogenic garden, plants can use their energy to grow tall instead. And because there is no soil, there are no weeds and few insect pests(害虫). Gardeners don't need to spray(喷洒) plants with dangerous chemicals. Both the plants and the environment stay healthy.

    Scientists hope that, one day, hydrogenic gardens may be able to help hungry people all over the world grow enough food﹣even in countries that have bad soil, or weather that is too hot, too cold, or too dry. And astronauts hope to take hydrogenic gardens with them to the spaceship they fly to Mars, so that they will always have fresh vegetables, and the fun of growing a garden without dirt.

    In the report ,titled "The Importance of Family Dinners (VIII) ", researchers say that "teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about what's going on in their lives ". They also claim that when teens say they feel closer to their parents ,they are less likely to use drugs and alcohol.

     Another study from the University of Montreal found that children who ate with their families experience long ﹣term physical and mental health benefits(好处).These children were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugary soft drinks.These children also seemed to have better social skills and they were less aggressive(好斗的).

We know people can be nice,but what about animals?

       Scientists say that some animals are capable(有能力的) of being nice.Animals that live in groups﹣like foxes,chimpanzees (大猩猩),and elephants﹣follow rules.They have to followrules to get along and to survive(生存).However,animals can act nicely,even when they don't have to. Here are some surprising stories about animal behavior.

       Most people usually walk away when someone is unkind to them.Marc Bekoff,a researcher at the University of Colorado,saw a female (母的)red fox do just that. The female fox was unhappy because a male(公的)fox played roughly(粗鲁地)with her.When she walked away,the male fox showed her that he wanted to play nicely.He lowered his head and rolled on his back.The female fox gave him another chance,and this time,he played more gently.

       Geza Teleki is a scientist who studies chimpanzees in Tanzania.One day,Teleki hiked far away from his campsite.He didn't have any food.Teleki wanted some fruit from a tree,but the tree was too tall. A young chimpanzee watched him curiously as he tried to get something to eat.The chimpanzee climbed the tree,picked the fruit,and gave it to him!

       An elephant in Kenya hurt his trunk(象鼻子).He needed help because he couldn't put food into his mouth.Researcher Kayhan Ostovar watched silently.He saw the hurt elephant show his sore trunk to a healthy elephant.The healthy elephant didn't need any more information.He took a bush and put it carefully into his new friend's mouth.

       Hippos(河马)and crocodiles are usually good friends.They hang out together in rivers.But Karen Paolillo,a wildlife expert in Zimbabwe,saw something surprising.One day,a crocodile tried to eat a monkey that was next to a river.A hippo ran quickly to the crocodile and chased it away.Why did the hippo attack (攻击) the crocodile?

Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone (里程碑) in space research. On January 3, 2019, Chang'e﹣4 became the first lunar probe (月球探测器) in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon.

    The Earth's gravity (重力) slows the moon's rotation (自转), matching it to the speed of its orbit (公转). Therefore, the far side of the moon is almost "dark" and has never been seen. It's this sense of the unknown that makes the far side of the moon such an interesting place for scientific and space research. Being blown by solar (太阳的) winds, the far side may have the special minerals (矿物质 ). For this reason, Chang'e﹣4 will study the effect of solar winds on the lunar surface and any mineral found by the spacecraft. Chang'e﹣4 is also carrying flower seeds, potatoes and silkworm eggs to see whether life is possible on the moon. If it is, then the moon will become a possible choice for space travel in the future.

    However, research of the "dark" side isn't easy. As the far side is blocked(阻断) off from us, radio noise coming off Earth is also blocked. This is why China's relay satellite (中继卫星) Queqiao was sent up in May, 2018. Thanks to Queqiao, the communication problem between Earth and Chang'e﹣4 has been well solved.

    Power supply (电源供应) is also a challenge to the task. Chang'e﹣4 gets energy from the sun through its solar panels. As we know, a lunar day has the length (长度) of 28 Earth days. After Chang'e﹣4 was sent up on December 8, 2018, it took the probe over 20 days to orbit the moon to be in a position to be able to land in moon daylight and use its solar panels.

    Luckily, everything goes well, Chang'e﹣4 has worked on the "dark" side for over 5 months. It has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon and has been used to carry out some scientific experiments.

    The New York Times used the word " groundbreaking" to praise the task and wrote that "it will offer help to the history and development of the moon".

(1)When was Chang'e﹣4 sent up?  

A. In May, 2018.

B. On December 8, 2018.

C. On January 3, 2019.

(2)The main tasks of Chang'e﹣4 don't include  

A. studying if life is possible on the moon

C. solving the communication problem between Earth and other probes

D. researching any mineral found by the spacecraft

(3)The meaning of the underlined word "groundbreaking" in the last paragraph is the closest to "  ".

A. harmful

B. unpredictable

C. risky

D. pioneering

(4)According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

B. A lunar day has the length of 28 Earth days.

C. China's relay satellite Queqiao was sent up in order to offer power supply to probes.

D. Chang'e﹣4 is the first lunar probe in history that has successfully landed on the "dark" side of the moon.

Chinese Farmers' Harvest (收获,收割) Festival is the first festival in China for farmers. The festival starting from 2018, falls on the Autumnal Equinox (秋分) each year. The Autumnal Equinox is one of the 24 solar terms(节气) of the Chinese lunar calendar and usually falls between September 22nd and 24th, during the country's harvest season.

    As we all know, China has the largest population all over the world. It was difficult to feed the largest population in the past. After reform and opening (改革开放), with the development of modern agriculture (农业), people's life is getting better and better, and their living conditions have improved a lot. Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival shows that our government is paying more attention to agriculture and farmers' life. It will greatly encourage farmers to farm and develop further modern agriculture. China has a long history of agriculture. Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival, the cultural symbol, helps to show China's long farming culture to the world. It also connects the excellent traditional Chinese culture to modern civilization (文明) and improves the cultural self﹣confidence and national pride.

    Since the festival is especially created for farmers, they are encouraged to think of their own ways to celebrate harvest. Some activities are held across the country, but most of the celebrations will take place at a local level that comes from local customs. Also, local government usually hosts all kinds of activities for the festival, such as folk culture performances, food tasting and so on.
