Zhou Chengyu，a 24﹣year﹣old from Guizhou Province，has also got a lot of attention.She is the youngest﹣ever space commander（指挥） in Wenchang，China.
（2） She was one of the important leaders in the project.
Born in 1996 in Guizhou，Zhou is now named "Dajie" （big sister） by her workmates.（3） She is only 1.58 meters tall.Zhou was an active and hard﹣working student in middle school. "She liked writing down her mistakes and seldom made the same mistakes twice"，said one of her middle school teachers. "She had always dreamed of being a scientist，（4） " In 2014，she was accepted into National University of Defense Technology.She used her time wisely and worked really hard at university.

A small cloud moves slowly through the air in a hospital operating room （手术室）.In the room a patient with cancer（癌症），lies on a table.The cloud is all around the patient，covering her body and filling her lungs（肺）.The cloud is not smoke.It is made of millions of nano﹣robots（纳米机器人）.These tiny robots move from cell （细胞） to cell in the patient's body，killing the cancer.
Fighting cancer with nano﹣robots is only an idea today，but scientists say that it could be possible in the future.Using nano﹣robots for good purposes such as fighting the illness or repairing the environment may be the way to many of today's problems.
However，nano﹣robots could be a dangerous risk as well.Because nano﹣robots are so tiny，they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to many millions.For this reason，nano﹣robots will have to be programmed（被编程）to build themselves.Scientists will not have the ability to build millions of nano﹣robots one by one.
This ability to re﹣produce is making some scientists worried.What will happen if something goes wrong in the programming？Quite a lot of crazy nano﹣robots would be far worse than any illness.Some people think that if they get out of control，nano﹣robots could make the Earth gone.
What should be done？Should we continue researching nano﹣robots or should we search for other methods？This is one of the many difficult decisions that we have to make in the future.

J.M.Barrie was born in Scotland in 1860.He moved to London and became a writer in 1885.Twelve years later，he became friends with Sylvia Davies and her five sons.He enjoyed telling the boys stories and made up the character of Peter Pan to bring them pleasure.He said Peter Pan was based on all the boys，telling them，"That is all Peter is ﹣the spark（创作灵感） I got from you."
A play about Peter Pan was written and shown in December 1904.It was a great success.In 1911，J.M.Barrie wrote a book，Peter and Wendy.The book has been popular sine it was printed for the first time.J.M.Barrie invented the name Wendy，based on Fwendy，the name that he was given as a child.The name Fwendy was based on the word"friend".

DNA is the whole"map" of the human body.It is something that all humans have，and it tells the body what to do.DNA is the reason that we look like our parents，because we get some of their DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time.In 1860，Mr Mendel discovered why we look similar to other people in our family.It is because of small things called "genes（基因）"in our body.In 1953，two scientists，Watson and Crick，found out that those small parts are real messages.They are written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961，another two scientists found the first "word" that they could understand in that language.It shows how DNA tells the cell（细胞） to build its parts.So far，scientists have found all the words in the DNA map，but we do not understand what they all do.By understanding what just one "word" means，we can help to save people from several illnesses.So the more we understand ，the more doctors will be able to do.
Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine to help sick people，Other people worry that when we learn more "words" and find out more information，we will use it in the wrong way，just to make people more attractive（有吸引力的）or stop sick people getting jobs.

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information，do people remember less？if you know your computer will store information，why do you store it in your own personal memory，your brain？Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study，Professor Betsy Sparrow made some experiments（实验）.She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory.
In the first experiment，they asked two groups of people to put 40 unimportant facts into a computer.The first group of people understood that the computer would store the information.The second group understood that the computer would not store it.Later，the second group remembered the information better.People in the first group knew they could find the information again，so they did not try to remember it.
In the second experiment，the researchers gave people facts to remember，and told them where to find the information on the Internet.The information was in an exact in an exact computer folder（文件夹）.Surprisingly，people later remember where the folder is better than the facts.When people use the Internet，they do not remember the information.However，they remember how to find it.This is called "transitive memory （交互记忆）".
According to Sparrow，we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet.Instead，computer users are developing stronger transitive memories；that is，people are learning how to organize a lot of information so that they are able to get it at a later date.This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less clever，but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

（2）What can we learn form the first experiment？
A.Sparrow put the information into the computer.
B.Both groups remember the information well.
C.Group 1 remembered the information faster.
D.Group 2 remembered the information better.
（3）What do we know about transitive memory from the second experiment？
A.People organize the information like a computer.
B.People remember how to find the information.
C.People remember how to make a folder.
D.People keep the information in mind.
（4）What's Professor Betsy Sparrow's conclusion（结论）？
A.People become more and more clever.
B.The way people use memory is changing.
C.The way people make experiments is changing.
D.People's memories become poorer than before.
