CHANGSHA﹣Eight pandas moved to their new home in the ancient town of Fenghuang in Central China's Hunan Province on Friday．
This is the first time the ancient town， also a popular place of interest，has welcomed giant pandas． The animals will make Fenghuang their new home．
With the average temperature ranging from 12.6℃to 16.7℃， Fenghuang County takes pride in its over 3，333 hectares of bamboo forest， providing a good living place for giant pandas．
To provide a good living environment for the new arrivals， Fenghuang has built a panda theme park．
Two of the eight pandas， named Long Sheng and Qing Feng， were born in 2000 and 2007 respectively（分别）． The other six pandas were born in 2017． They were transported from southwest China's Sichuan Province to Fenghuang by special trucks．
Before the transportation， the eight pandas were placed under observation in the giant panda protection center， and they are now in good health．
Teng Qiong， director of Fenghuang County Forestry Bureau， said that the pandas were transported in refrigerator trucks for their safety and comfort． Several trucks were rented（租用），with four trucks carrying two giant pandas each， while one truck carried enough bamboo and bamboo shoots for five days， and another empty truck was kept on standby．
"During the transportation， we rested at the high﹣speed service areas for 30 minutes every three hours． The keepers provided food and water for the pandas and carefully observed their health condition，"Teng said．
Construction of the panda theme park in Fenghuang started at the end of 2018． It includes a panda house， a panda hospital， a feed processing room， a tourist service center， a science museum and other supporting projects． There will be 16 professional keepers to take care of the pandas in the park．

Recently， the result of the national reading survey has been announced and it paints a brighter future for reading habits in the Internet times． Last year，21，270 men from 55 cities answered the survey． It showed that the Chinese people's reading rate increased slightly over the year before． Reading rate means the percentage of citizens regularly reading books， newspapers and digital （数字）reading materials．
The survey shows that the daily reading time and yearly reading number of paper books，printed newspapers and magazines have dropped， while digital reading has continuously increased．Every day Chinese people use different digital devices like mobile phones， personal computers or iPads for 100.41 minutes on average （平均），15.5 percent higher than the year before．
According to the survey， Chinese people's reading habits have changed because mobile phones provide more chances to get different kinds of reading materials on digital platforms． More than 50 percent of the Chinese people who were interviewed prefer digital reading， mostly on mobile phones．
Another interesting result is that an increasing number of people like to listen to audiobooks（有声读物）．More than 30 percent of the people who answered the survey listen to audiobooks，higher than the year before． It may have something to do with the way people go to and from work﹣many people in the countryside drive or take public transport for long hours， which leads to the greater need for audiobooks．
People's reading habits are changing with social changes． In my opinion， the relevant authorities （相关机构） should pay attention to it and shouldn't fall behind．

Since May 8， Boston Dynamics， doglike robot， Spot， has been in use at BishanAng Mo Kio Park in Singapore to help encourage social distancing during the COVID19 pandemic （新冠肺炎疫情） according to a report in the South China Morning Post．
Singpore’s government is funding the experiment of the robotic dog， which will last for two weeks at the park during offpeak（非高峰的） hours．
"The robot isn’t enforcing （强制 ）． It’s just giving people information and encouraging them， "Boston Dynamics founder Marc Raibert told CNBC． "When Spot is patrolling（巡逻）the area， there’s a parks officer nearby who can do whatever enforcement he decides is suitable． "
Cameras fixed on Spot will scan the surroundings and help officers work out the number of visitors in the park， but they cannot read faces and won’t collect any personal information． It also carries a loudspeaker to broadcast a prerecorded message to remind visitors of the importance of social distancing．
Without enough manpower， Singapore is turning to robotics to reduce the manpower required for park patrols and remind people about the risks they may be putting themselves and others in．
The question， however， is whether their use of Spot will be a good tool or will or only attract more people to it instead．
If the twoweek experiment proves successful， the government will consider using Spot at the park during peak hours． Singapore will also do studies to see if it’s worth using other Spots in other parks． Already， Singapore engineers are trying to improve Spot， making it tell if people are together in a group or strangers passing on the grass．
No one knows if Spot will stay after the pandemic is gone， but one thing is for sure： the robot is the hardest working dog in the world．

Antarctica （南极洲） is at the southern end of the Earth． It is the coldest， driest and windiest place on our planet． What would it be like to live and work there？
On Oct 15， 50 Chinese researchers took a ship named Xuelong 2 from Shenzhen to Antarctica． Xuelong 2 is the first icebreaker （破冰船） made in China． It took two years to build Xuelong 2． It is reported that Xuelong 2 is one of the world's best research icebreakers．
Chinese researchers have been to Antarctica 35 times． Because of its unusual environment， researchers from around the world have been going there to do study （研究） for many years． Some studies can only be done in Antarctica． For example， there is little air pollution there． This makes it easier for scientists to study the weather， atmosphere （大气） and stars．
The study of Antarctica's geology （地质） is also important． Rocks in Antarctica can tell us what the weather was like long time ago， and help us understand how the Earth has changed over time． There are also many wild animals， such as penguins （企鹅），seals （海豹） and birds． Scientists can learn how animals live in cold places by studying them．
Xie Zhouqing is a professor at the University of Science and Technology of China． He was part of China's 15th research trip to Antarctica． He said， "Life in Antarctica is not easy．It is tiring and sometimes dangerous， but it is still quite fun．" He also said，"I studied how penguins walk， what they eat， and why they move from one place to another． I was excited to see the cute animals playing around． I hope my studies can help protect them．"

I think there are several reasons that suggest developing robots is a waste of money．
In San Diego recently ＄ 325，000 was spent on inventing a robotic squirrel to do some scientific experiments． The research proved that squirrels are able to scare away snakes by wagging （摇动） their tails． Do you need a robotic squirrel to work this out？
What about AIBO，a robotic pet，developed in Japan？ In Japanese aibou means "buddy"． These pets have been developed at huge cost mainly to provide entertainment．They've been used in movies and music videos． Universities have used them for educational purposes．However， in 2006 the company stopped producing these robotic pets in order to save money． Was it worth a lot of money？
Then there's NAO， a robot which has been developed by a French company．Its main purpose is to make life easier for humans． It speaks 19 languages and has its own personality．It can tell children a story， help in the classroom or the home， or act as a companion to those people who need someone to be with．A fully developed one costs ﹩16，000． Is that value for money？ Who can afford it anyway？
There may be good reasons why it is worth developing robots， but so far I haven't thought of any．

Influenza， or flu（流感）， is a type of virus． It spreads from one person to another quickly． When someone who has the flu coughs or sneezes， little droplets from their lungs （肺） spread out into the air．Anyone nearby can get sick． Even a person who touches something with the virus and then touches his or her mouth， eyes， or nose， can become infected（感染）．
The outbreak of the 1918 influenza infected about 500 million people worldwide． It killed from 20 million to 50 million people． It was first seen in Europe， the United States， and parts of Asia．It then spread quickly around the world． Many people who became sick were young， healthy adults．At the time， no treatments worked in the prevention of the spread of the killer flu． People were ordered to wear masks． Schools， theaters and other public places were closed．
When the first wave（波＞in the spring of 1918 hit， it didn't seem serious． People who were infected felt the usual flu symptoms（症状）， which are chills， fevers， and feeling tired． Those who got sick generally got better after several days． Not many died． However， a second， highly contagious（传染的）wave of influenza appeared in the fall of that same year． Victims died shortly after they were infected ﹣ within hours or days． Their skin turned blue and their lungs were filled with liquid（液体），making it very difficult to breathe．
By the summer of 1919， the flu pandemic（大流行病） came to an end． Sick people had either got well or died． Almost 90 years later， in 2008， researchers announced they'd discovered why the 1918 flu was so deadly． The flu virus inflamed （使…恶化）the lungs， causing them to fill with liquid．

In 1987，a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen．After more than 30 years of development，the company has now beaten Apple and become the world's second﹣largest maker of smartphones behind Korea's Samsung．It has also become the world's largest supplier（供应商）of 5G．
But recently，Huawei faced some difficulties．The U．S． government ordered a ban（禁令）on its sales in America．American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government．At the same time，the U．S． government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei，which was believed that Huawei's business would be hurt．
"We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information．" Ren Zhengfei，Huawei's founder and president said． "The ban from the U．S． would have little effect on our company．Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems．" Ren added．
In an interview several years ago，Ren Zhengfei said， "I started Huawei with only £4，000 at the beginning，but now it has become a ＄100 billion company．The experience was not as romantic（浪漫的）as you imagine．"
Facing the ban of the U．S．，Huawei is growing．Huawei's smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019．At the same time，sales from both Samsung and Apple fell．So far，Huawei has grown into the world's largest telecommunications equipment（电信设备）supplier，selling in 170 countries!It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future．

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．
D． The passage doesn't tell us．
（2）The main tasks of Chang'e﹣4 don't include ．
A． studying if life is possible on the moon
B． studying the effect of solar winds on the lunar surface
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？
A． Chang'e﹣4 has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon．
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．
At some point in life，many people develop a mental（精神） problem．While most people get over it，for others it doesn't go away easily．
The WHO says that about 20 percent of teenagers worldwide suffer from mental illness．It's thought that the number of teenagers with mental illness around the world will increase by half by 2020．It will become one of the main causes of illness，and even death．
In China，the picture isn't bright，either．About one tenth of teenagers under the age of 17 have a mental health challenge．
The world is changing fast．Study and relationships have always caused stress，but today the stress is much higher than before，the WHO said．
A research centre in Oxford University says that young people today have big stresses at school．For example，they experience bullying（欺凌）．In a 2017 report，the centre noted that the Internet was a special source（渠道）of stress．Online，young people often see "messages about perfection" and this causes the young "great uncertainty about their futures"，says the centre．
Also，according to China Daily，Chinese people don't ask for help with their mental problems．They fear that others will think less of them if they say that they are in mental trouble．Elaine Peng，a US mental health educator，makes a similar point．And in the UK，over three quarters of young people believe their mental problems have a social stigma．It is reported in 2017 that a quarter of young UK people wouldn't ask for help if they developed a mental problem．
Young people who don't ask for help for their condition may be creating problems for themselves in the future．Elaine Peng warned that，"If we hide our mental health，it may remain a problem forever．"
"My message for young people is，if you feel something is wrong with you﹣ask for help，"he told China Daily．

D．show some different opinions from different countries．
The population of the world continues to increase， but in some areas the population is falling．This is true in Europe and especially in Eastern Europe． In Russia， the population is going down by about 100 people EVERY HOUR! Russia's population could fall by ONE THIRD by the year 2050! And in Poland （波兰）the population is also going down because people are leaving to work in other countries．
One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle． All over Europe people， especially educated women， have a different attitude （态度）to children than their parents．"I have one child and she is enough for me， "said Galina Tereschkova， a doctor from Moscow． "My husband and I both work full﹣time． We can't imagine having more than one child． "Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all． "I don't want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years， "said 19﹣year﹣old student Hana Markova from Prague． Her opinion is typical of 18﹣24 year old women everywhere in Europe．
In Poland， the population is going down for a different reason． A lot of people，usually aged between 20 and 30， are leaving the country to work abroad． Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain， Germany， Spain and Italy． Even so， the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down．
Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families． In France，women now receive nearly 1，000 a month for a year if they have a third child．Austrian women receive 700 a month for three years when they have their first child．
（1）Where in the world is the population getting smaller？
（2）How many children does Galina Tereschkova want to have？
（3）What does Hana Markova want to do before she has children？
（4）Why is the population in Poland going down？

We have found plastic in the ocean and in animals like birds， fish and whales． But for the first time， scientists have found plastic in human poop（大便）， USA Today reported． The findings came from a study led by scientists from Environment Agency Austria． （1） The volunteers wrote down what they ate for a week and then provided a stool sample（大便样本） for testing．
（2） About 20 small plastic particles （颗粒） were found in every 10 grams （克）of stool． " The smallest plastic particles can enter the blood， the lymphatic system， and may even reach the liver （肝脏）， "said Philipp Schwabl， who took part in the research． （3） __ They're not sure how the plastic got in the volunteers' bodies， either． But most of the volunteers said they drank from plastic bottles and also ate seafood that could include plastic from ocean pollution．
In fact， plastic is everywhere around us． Every year， lots of plastic waste goes into the ocean． （4） Most of the particles stay in the ocean． Others can spread into the soil and air．Could plastic in the air fall onto food and get into the human body？
Some past studies may also give us a clue． （5） And even some drinking water has been found to have tiny plastic particles in it．
