Have you ever dreamed of visiting a planet in the Milky Way (银河系)? While the trip sounds exciting, it would take years and years to reach your destination. So in the future, bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut eyes. They would have to sleep for years.

European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments. The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a spaceflight to distant planets. "If there was an effective technology, it could make deep space travel a reality," said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month.

What seems like a science fiction is not completely unlikely. Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleeplike state where they don’t age. They have now moved on to the small, non hibernating mammals like rats.

A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems, whereas body organs are far more complex. "It’s like moving from a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer," said Marco Biggiogera, a hibernation researcher at Italy’s University of Pavia. Just like bears and frogs, the hibernation of human beings would cause a person’s metabolism (新陈代谢) to lower so they would need less energy.

Medical research, however, is just half of a spaceflight hibernation system. There is a challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter. Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation, such as the proper temperature. It would also have to monitor life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator.

According to Ayre, the six person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission (使命) to Jupiter’s moon (木星的卫星) Callisto, could be an opportunity to use human hibernation. The mission aims to send six persons on a five year flight to Callisto, where they will spend 30 days, in 2045.

1.According to the article, the hibernation research _______.

A. is just an idea

B. is always a science fiction

C. has already finished successfully

D. has made some progress

2.In a hibernating state, a person needs ________.

3.The first try of the hibernation technology the six person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission to Jupiter’s moon Callisto.

A. will be B. has been planned for

C. is certain to be D. may be

4.What is the best title of the article?

A. Hibernation study for space travel

B. Welcome to our space travel

C. To hibernate, to live longer

D. Welcome to the Milky Way

I was a freshman in college when I met the Whites. They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt at home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.

In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened.

“Who did this? ”my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen.

“This is all your fault, Katharine, ”my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.

From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner table.

But the Whites didn’t worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.

In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen. Proud of having a new driver’s license(驾照),Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met.

The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah’s new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just didn’t see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car.

Jane was killed immediately.

I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that I’ve ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.

When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amy’s leg was broken. They hugged(拥抱)us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls’ tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches(拐杖).

To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “We’re so glad that you’re alive. ”

I was astonished. No blame. No accusations.

Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.

Mrs. White said, “Jane’s gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister’s death? ”

They were right. Amy graduated from the University of California and got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. She’s also a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.

1.How did the accident occur?

A. Amy didn’t know what to do when she saw the stop sign.

B. Amy didn’t slow down so their car ran into a truck.

C. Amy didn’t stop at a crossroads and a truck hit their car.

D. Amy didn’t get off the highway at a crossroads.

2.The Whites did not blame Amy for Jane’s death because _____.

A. Amy was badly injured herself and they didn’t want to add to her pain

B. they didn’t want to blame their children in front of others

C. they didn’t want Amy to feel ashamed and sorry for the rest of her life

D. Amy was their youngest daughter and they loved her best

3. From the passage we can learn that _____.

A. Amy has lived quite a normal life

B. Amy has never recovered from the shock

C. Amy changed her job after the accident

D. Amy lost her memory after the accident

It's really true what people say about English politeness: it's everywhere. When squeezing past someone in a narrow passage, people say "sorry". When getting off a bus, English passengers say "thank you" rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles, and here are some more polite ways of interacting (交往) with people in UK.

People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customers and retail assistants in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional(例外的)to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.

Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted.

1.What is the author's attitude towards English politeness?

A. He thinks it is artificial.

B. He appreciates it very much.

C. He thinks little of it.

D. He thinks it goes too far.

2.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The author think it's unnecessary to say “thank you” to the bus driver.

B. In Germany, employers often say “thank you” to employees for their job.

C. Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough.

D. German men never treat a woman to dinner.

3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. English people try to avoid criticizing others in the daily life.

B. In Germany, passengers sometimes say “thank you” to bus drivers.

C. English drivers often say “thank you” to passengers when they get off the bus.

D. Germans are more considerate and polite than Englishmen.

4.The author develops the text through the method of .

A. giving comments

B. telling stories

C. making comparisons

D. giving reasons/examples
