2. Brittany Starks is a single mother of two working multiple jobs in Tenne. Her life has not been easy. In the past few years she has been homeless, suffered from vere depression, had to care for a sick child, and was almost killed in a car accident.
It was the accident, she says, that aroud in her a desire to spread kindness in all the ways she could. She became focud on taking every opportunity she had to help tho in need. On August 4, Starks offered free hair-braiding (发辫) rvices to her comm unity. “I thought I was only going to get five to ven kids but I had 35,” Starks said.

3. For the first time, scientists have successfully grown plants in lunar soil brought back to Earth by NASA’s Apollo astronauts. Rearchers had no idea if anything would sprout (发芽) in the harsh moon dirt and wanted to e if it could be ud to grow food by the next generation of lunar explorers.
“After two days, they started to sprout!” said Anna-Lisa Paul, a professor in Horticultural Sciences at the University of Florida, who took part in the experiment. “Everything sprouted. I can’t tell you how astonished we were! Every plant — whether in a lunar sample or in a control (参照实验) —looked the same up until about day six.”
Robert Ferl of the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences and his colleagues planted thale cress (鼠耳芥) in moon soil returned by Apollo 11’s Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, and other moon walkers. All of the eds sprouted. But within a week, the coarness (粗糙度) and other properties of the lunar soil stresd the small, flowering weeds so much that they grew more slowly than edlings planted in dirt from Earth. Most of the moon plants ended up stunted (发育不良).
元宵节日记The longer the soil was expod to tough cosmic radiation and solar wind on the moon, the wor the plants emed to do. The Apollo II samples—expod a couple of billion years longer to the elements—were the least likely for plants to grow, scientists said. One solution might be to u younger geologic spots on the moon, like lava flows, for digging up planting soil. The environment also could be improved, changing the nutrient mixture or adjusting the artificial lighting.
NASA said the timing for such an experiment was right, with the space agency looking to put astronauts back on the moon in a few years. The ideal situation would be for future astronauts to make u of the endless supply of available local dirt for indoor planting rather than t up a hydroponic (水培的) or all-water system, scientists said. “The fact that anything grew means that we have a really good starting point, and now the question is how do we optimize and improve,” said Sharmila Bhattacharya, NASA’s program scientist for space biology.
1. Why did the scientists try to grow plants in the lunar soil?
A．To solve the food crisis in the world. B．To take more dirt from the moon. C．To prepare food for future astronauts. D．To nd more explorers to the moon. 2. What made the sprouted eds end up stunted?
黎巴嫩在哪
A．The very low quality of the soil. B．They flowered too much soon. C．The polluted dirt on the earth. D．The change of artificial lighting.
3. What kind of moon soil would probably be suitable for plant growth?
A．The one receiving cosmic radiation. B．The one expod to solar wind. C．The one having a very long history. D．The one coming from lava flows.

4. What will scientists most probably do next?
A．U available earth dirt for planting. B．Continue to grow plants in lunar soil. C．Put more astronauts back on the moon. D．Set up a hydroponic or all-water system.
4. Yes, having a big name in science will help get your paper published, a new study confirms. Just 10% of reviewers of a test paper recommended acceptance when the only listed author was not well-known — but 59% endord the same paper when it carried the name of a Nobel winner.
The study, which involved inviting hundreds of rearchers to review an economics paper, is incredible”, says Mario Malicki, a postdoctoral rearcher at Stanford University and editor-in-chief of Rearch Integrity and Peer Review, who was not involved in the rearch. “It is the largest randomized controlled trial we have en on publication bias (发表偏见).”
For years, scientists complained about the Matthew effect, a term invented in 1968 by sociologists Robert Merton and Harriet Zuckerman to describe how high-status rearchers tend to get disproportionately (不成比例地) more of the same.
But efforts to document such bias often had weakness, such as a small sample size or lack of ran
domization. To avoid tho problems, a team led by Jürgen Huber of the University of Innsbruck emailed some 3300 rearchers, asking whether they could review an economics study prepared for a real journal. The study had two authors, both at Chapman University: Vernon Smith, a 2002 Nobel winner in economics and Sabiou Inoua, one of Smith’s former Ph.D. students. The potential peer reviewers were nt one
of three descriptions of the paper. One named only Smith, listing him as the corresponding author, another, only Inoua; and a third, no author.
Ultimately, 821 rearchers agreed to review, the team reported last week at the International Congress on Peer Review and Scientific Publication in Chicago. Smith’s fame appeared to influence the respons: Of the rearchers given just his name, 38.5% accepted the invitation to review; the figures were 30.7% for tho given no name and 28.5% for tho given just Inoua’s.
1. Which can replace the underlined word “endord” in the first paragraph? A．Approved of. B．Contradicted.
C．Ignored. D．Tolerated.
2. What do we know about Mario Malicki?
A．He once won a Nobel prize. B．He thinks highly of the study. C．He is an editor of Stanford University. D．He is the leader of the study.
3. Why did Jürgen Huber and his team conduct a rearch?
A．To prove the value of science publication.
B．To overcome the weakness of previous studies.
C．To review an economics study for a journal.
D．To compare the achievement of two economists.
4. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Complaints about publication bias. B．The discovery of Matthew effect. C．Fame matters in publication. D．Ways to document publication bias.

5. For some people, holiday travel includes more than simply hitting the road or braving the airport to
get to their destination. 1 . Whether it’s a way to save money, or spend more time with loved ones —it’s important to keep in mind that you’re a guest in someone’s home. Even if your host invited you to stay and said that it was “no trouble at all”, know that accommodating you does take time and energy (and possibly money). 2 . Here are a few mistakes to avoid when you stay in someone’s hou.明湖居听书
Showing up unannounced
This really should go without saying and applies to any type of visit to someone’s home, any time of the year -- don’t show up at someone’s door unannounced, or assume you can stay with them without asking first. 3 , one of which is out of respect for
