8．China's Jade Rabbit moon rover （月球车）has"woken up"since it entered the lunar night two weeks ago．The moon rover，known as Yutu in Mandarin Chinese，and the Chang'e-3lander were restarted by the Beijing Aerospace Control Center （BACC），China's Xinhua news agency said．
It had been set to sleep for two weeks to ride out extreme climatic conditions and will finally undertake its scientific mission．The Jade Rabbit was"put to sleep"on 26December at the onset of the first lunar night of the mission．One night on the moon lasts for around two weeks on Earth and during this time，temperatures fall to-180℃---conditions too cold for the equipment to function in．There is also no sunlight to power the Jade Rabbit's solar panels．
Zhou Jianliang，chief engineer with the BACC，explained："During the lunar night，the lander and the rover were in a power-off condition and the communication with Earth was cut off．
"When the night ends，they will be started up with the power provided by sunlight and resume operation and communication according to preset programmes．He added that the Jade Rabbit surviving the lunar night showed Chinese technology had proved successful．
The Jade Rabbit and the lander compose Chang'e-3landed on the moon on 14December．With the landing，China became one of only three nations to soft-land on the moon，and the first to do so in more than three decades．
Scientists said the mission was designed to test new technologies and build the country's expertise of space exploration．The Jade Rabbit will gather scientific data and capture images from the Moon．China was planning further missions planned to collect lunar soil samples and it is thought officials are looking to conduct manned lunar landings if they prove successful．

7．A team of scientists from University of Freiburg in Germany are developing a shoe with a sensor to automatically tie its laces（鞋带）that could be taken off when users click their heels together．
It's been 26years since we saw them magically tightening Marty McFly's Nike boots in the film Back to The Future．
Now，self-tying shoelaces could actually become a reality this year，proving right one of the film's fantastical predictions for what 2015would be like．
Engineers have designed a shoe that can automatically lace up，adjusting itself to the shape of your foot．
Simply slip the controller on and pressure sensors will tell the‘smart shoe'when your foot is in position，triggering（触发）a tiny motor in the heel that pulls the laces tight．
When you want to take off the shoes，you click your heels together twice and the motor will release a spring（弹簧）in the shoe's tongue，which loosens the laces enough for you to slip them off．
And the invention doesn't even need to be plugged in to charge or have its battery replaced because it runs on power generated by the swing of your foot as you walk•
Engineer K1evis Ylli，of the Institute for Micromachining and Information Technology in southern Gemany，said the shoes could help a variety of different people．
"One focus is that it could be used in shoes for elderly people who have mobility problems，"he said．"But it could also work for children，or as a lifestyle product．"．
The design，which is still in a prototype（雏形）stage，cleverly gets the energy of the foot's swing when opposing magnets in each shoe move past each other．It then uses that power to charge a battery．An hour of walking is enough to tighten the laces once，and it requires no energy to undo the shoes because that relies on the spring alone．

29．Which of the following can be the best title of the textC？
A．A fantastical prediction
B．A great invention in Germany
C．A shoe with self-tying laces
D．A popular lifestyle product
30．What can we learn about the shoesB？

B．They can adjust themselves to your foot．
C．They need to be charged once．
D．They have been in design for 26years．
31．From the last paragraph we can knowD．
A．the shoes have been put into use
B．the shoes need power to take off
C．the shoes promise to be popular
D．how the shoes work to produce energy．

6．October 21 was a very dark day in Texas．Not only did Hurricane Hanna destroy homes，it caused the largest business damage in Texas's history．The worst thing is Hanna's destructive force nearly wiped out most power poles and power lines．According to Center Point Energy，Hurricane Hanna affected 2.15million customers．Currently，more than 4，000of them are still in the dark．Crews have worked 16-hour shifts to restore power to residents．

Clara Barton Village is an emergency shelter located at Alamo Elementary School in Galveston，Texas．This is where Paula Reed and her family are staying．Believe it or not，Paula Reed and her family consider this hurricane a blessing．When Paula was a girl，she was an orphan，but was taken in by her stepmom，Antonia Flores．Reed lost contact with Flores and had been trying desperately to locate her for the past few years．Before the hurricane，Reed and her family moved away from Galveston to a San Antonio shelter．There，she reunited with Flores after 30long years!The moment they saw each other，their lives were changed．

5．At the end of the year，our magazine is revealing our annual food and shopping predictions based on our research．
Grazing Golden-Agers：
Ninety-one percent of people say they snack daily，according to Nielsen．While snacking is on the rise among all ages and genders，research shows that snacking among consumers over the age of 65could contribute to additional years with a higher quality of life．We'll see more boomers-those raised in the"three square meals a day"period-employ a"grazing"approach to eating foods rich in nutrients like protein，fiber and Omega3that can help promote bone health．
Same-Day Delivery Not Just for City Clickers：
Online grocery shopping and delivery has become a crowded space，with a host of services competing for consumer attention．This trend allows everyone who sells food to be in the same-day delivery business without having to add additional operational facilities．Look for Google Shopping Express to put every supermarket in the same day delivery business and change consumer behavior to shop online for food to be delivered to homes fresh for each meal．You now can throw your refrigerator away!
The Rise of Fermented Foods：
The next year will be the year when fermented （发酵的） foods-foods like yogurt，pickles（泡菜） take center stage．These foods contain live cultures，or are preserved in liquid so their sugars and other seasonings can become bacteria-promoting agents．In fact，a survey has found that nearly 50percent of Americans have shown interest in fermented foods，who，especially those over 60s，have improved a lot in digestion．However，if treated inappropriately，the bacteria hidden in these foods might have our hospitals full of sick dinners．Therefore make sure to study the cooking skills well before you these foods．
Supermarkets change into Socializing Spaces：
Supermarkets have evolved from straightforward centers where consumers could buy groceries to providers of lifestyle．Supermarkets are developing a variety of services that help to establish each outlet as a showcase of lifestyle trends．A desire to be"all things food"to their customers，young and old，is positioning the supermarkets as head to head competitors with chain and local restaurants．Cooking classes，and online home-made recipes are also giving consumers reasons beyond a grocery list to step inside their neighborhood supermarkets instead of a local restaurant．
