Wangari Maathai, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, was born on April 1, 1940, in Kenya(肯尼亚). Growing up in the countryside, Wangari was deeply connected to the land from an early age. This early experience with the environment later inspired her life’s work, which has left an unforgettable mark on the world.
With the help of a program, Wangari received her university education in the United States. After graduation, she returned to Kenya. In 1971, she got a doctor’s degree from the University of Nairobi, becoming the first woman doctor in East and Central Africa. But her greater achievement was outside the university. In 1977, Wangari set up the Green Belt Movement, an organization focused on tree planting, environmental protection, and women’s rights. She called on Kenyan women to plant trees in their hometown. This simple act not only helped to protect the environment but also made women powerful economically(经济地)and socially.
Wangari focused not only on environmental problems. She made great efforts to fight for democracy(民主), human rights, and social fairness. Her activism(激进主义)often put her in disagreement with the Kenyan government. As a result, she was put in prison(监狱)several times, but she kept fighting bravely. It was because of her tireless work that she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. She became the first African woman to receive the award.
Wangari passed away on September 25, 2011, but her spirit continues to inspire a worldwide movement towards environmental protection and social fairness. Her book, Unbowed, records her life journey and the challenges she faced, offering an inspiration to countless people worldwide. Her story lives on through the millions of trees planted by the Green Belt Movement and the countless lives she touched through her hard work.

A Long March 5 rocket took off from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan province on May 3, 2024. After flying for about 37 minutes, it successfully placed the Chang’e 6 robotic lunar probe(月球探测器)into an Earth-moon transfer trajectory(转移轨道). Several days later the probe was programmed to land on the moon’s far side and started its tasks, which would last about 53 days.
This is the world’s first try to bring samples(样本)from the moon’s far side. For China, it’s the second sample-return moon journey. Chang’e 5 successfully brought samples from the moon in the winter of 2020. Up to now, 10 moon sample-return tasks have been carried out by the United States, the former Soviet Union(前苏联)and China, but all these samples were collected from the moon’s near side.
The moon’s far side has always been a subject of scientific wonder because of its many mysteries. It’s facing away from Earth and it can never be seen from Earth. It was once called the “dark side of the moon” even though it receives just as much sunlight as the near side.
Chinese researchers have found that the soil on the far side is much thicker than that on the near side, but they haven’t found out the reason. Samples brought back by Chang’e 5 have helped scientists find that there were volcanic(火山的)activities on the near side around 2 billion years ago. Some scientists thought maybe volcanoes became inactive on the far side about 4 billion years ago. Is it true? Samples from the far side will allow them to know the answer.
“Comparing the make-up of the far side samples from Chang’e 6 with those collected from the near side will be of great scientific value to the international community,” said Martin Sweeting, a famous professor of space engineering.
(1)When did Chang’e 6 begin to work on the moon?
A. |
On May 3, 2024. |
B. |
After flying for about 37 minutes. |
C. |
In the winter of 2020. |
D. |
After landing on the moon’s far side. |
(2)How many times has China got samples from the moon’s near side?
A. |
Once. |
B. |
Twice. |
C. |
Five times. |
D. |
Ten times. |
(3)According to the passage, the moon’s far side ________.
A. |
receives less sunlight than the near side |
B. |
has thicker soil compared with the near side |
C. |
can be seen from Earth with powerful cameras |
D. |
has more recent volcanic activities than the near side |
(4)What can we learn from Martin Sweeting’s words?
A. |
Chang’e 6 will stay longer on the moon for more tasks. |
B. |
Chang’e 6 is carrying out a valuable task for the world. |
C. |
Chang’e 6 will bring samples from both sides of the moon. |
D. |
Chang’e 6 can compare samples before bringing them back. |

Last December, when An Lingfei, a doctor from an Inner Mongolia medical team, arrived in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda(卢旺达), he set up a center in the Masaka District Hospital. Since then, the China-Rwanda Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)Treatment Center has increased in popularity.
According to An, the center now receives an average of more than 30 people daily, with most of them suffering from lower back pain or knee and ankle joint(踝关节)pain. Rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills. Locals often have to walk on mountain roads year-round, which can lead to joint stress.
“TCM has great advantages in treating these diseases, and the effects are very good.” An said. “The center now provides most kinds of TCM treatments, allowing local people to experience Eastern medicine.”
Naomin, a 60-year-old patient, is amazed by TCM. She was unable to walk due to serious pain in both knees and ankles. But after a month of treatment at the center, she is now able to walk around with a walking stick. “The treatment has been a huge help,” she said.
Another patient, Mukagatare, said that his back pain disappeared after three TCM treatments. According to him, doctors at the local hospitals had been unable to make a clear diagnosis(诊断)after many examinations, let alone reduce the pain.
Besides treating patients, the center also educates locals about TCM and Chinese culture.
Up to now, TCM has spread to nearly 200 countries and areas, with its worldwide influence continuously growing. “From treating a common cold to chronic(慢性的)and difficult diseases. TCM can all play an important role,” a Chinese expert said.

April 24th is Space Day of China. Ever since Yang Liwei made it to space in 2003, about 20 Chinese astronauts have been sent into space.
In space, astronauts face many problems. There is little gravity(重力)there, which influences their bodies. Also, being away from family and friends and staying in a tiny spaceship for a long time can make them feel sad or stressed out. What’s more, if something goes wrong suddenly, they have to fix it under huge pressure. That’s why astronauts have to be smart, strong, and ready for any challenge before they can go to space.
To make sure that Chinese astronauts complete their tasks and return to Earth safely, 8 kinds, including over 200 subjects of training, are set. Besides physical training, basic science knowledge and mock(模拟)tasks are included. Before astronauts can go to space, they train like this for at least three and a half years.
In China’s manned space project, one of the most difficult parts of the training is the underwater training. This helps astronauts get ready for the weightless environment in space. And they wear diving suits(潜水服)over 100 kilos and stay underwater for six hours every time.
