    The Washington post – NASA’s newest space habitat looks sort of like a kids’ moon bonce, a big, bright, inflatable globe that could be lots of fun to play in. Soon astronauts on the International Space Station could get the chance to try . The expandable habitat made by Bigelow Aerospace recently passed NASA’s strict certification requirements and is scheduled to be flown to the station in September.

    Called the BEAM ( Bigelow Expandable Activity Module), the habitat would be attached to the space station, where it would stay for two years. While there, it would be tested to see how it handles the rigors of space – the radiation, the station’s movement and even how it stands up to the debris (碎片) flying around in orbit.

    The private Las Vegas company, founded by millionaire real estate mogul(地产大亨) Robert Bigelow, won a $17.8 million contract from NASA to provide the module to the space station.

    “Today is the first step, but it’s a big step,” said Bigelow’s George Zamka. Replace the space station or make it larger. It also hopes to build the habitats on the moon. Its B330 module would be even bigger, with 330 cubic meters of internal (内部的 ) space. The modules could be connected. Creating research facilities, the company says, or even space hotels.

    In an interview ,NASA’s William Gerstenmaier, said he was eager to see how the module performs , and said he was especially pleased “ to see how the private sector can step up and help us meet our requirements.” The module will be flown to the space station by SpaceX, the first commercial company to resupply the space station.

    1.What would be the best title for this passage?

    A. NASA’s space habitats flown to the station.

    B. NASA’s space habitat it the station.

    C. NASA’s new expandable space habitat.

    2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

    A. NASA’s newest space habitat is a kids’ moon bounce.

    B. Astronauts of Bigelow Aerospace could get the chance to try the space habitat.

    C. NASA was founded by Robert Bigelow.

    D. The B330 module to be built on the moon would be with an inside space of 330 cubic meters.

    3.The underlined word “rigors” in Paragraph 2 refers to “_________”.

    A. difficulties B. environments

    C. movements D. changes

    4.The passage is most probably taken from ________.

    A. a newspaper B. a booklet

    The bed should be reserved as a place for sleep, but people tend to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep.

    Charles Czeisler, a professor at Harvard Medical School, and his colleagues got a small group of people for an experiment. For five days in a row, the people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep. Their sleep patterns were monitored all night. Before and after each trial period, the people took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin (褪黑激素) was in their blood at any given time.

    When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books, they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning. People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights, and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion (分泌) was delayed by an hour and a half.

    The researchers conclude in today's journal article that given the rise of e-readers and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and adolescents, more research into the long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed. Czeisler and colleagues go on, in the research paper, to note：“Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk.”

    However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day, and there are also glasses that are made to filter (过滤) short wavelengths. While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime tech users, it needs more research.

    1.In Charles Czeislers experiment, all the subjects were asked to______.

    A. sit in a row and receive the strict tests

    B. have their sleep patterns observed all night

    C. read a paper book and an iPad at the same time

    D. have their blood tested per hour during the trial

    2.The third paragraph tells us the iPad readers were likely to____________.

    A. feel less sleepy and tired in the day

    B. fall asleep more easily after reading

    C. become less energetic the next morning

    D. have a lot more melatonin secretion

    3.The special software recently developed can______.

    A. remove the blue light from your devices completely

    B. help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelength

    C. weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e-reading

    D. be used in all the e-things widely and safely

    4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

    A. No e-reading in bed before sleep

    B. New software for night e-readers

    C. Wrong behaviors before bedtime

    D. No games on iPad in bed

    Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties（地方特色菜）in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handed frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.

    Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television.He says Lieberman’s charisma is key.“Food TV isn’t about food any more,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”

    But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights, Lieberman got the job.
