Crew members of China’s Shenzhou mission are scheduled to give a live lecture on
Thursday afternoon from the orbiting Tiangong space station to students around the world，the
China Manned Space Agency said on Monday.
The three taikonauts—Major General Zhai Zhigang，Senior Colonel Wang Yaping and Senior
Colonel Ye Guangfu will show viewers how they live and work inside the space station and will
then carry out experiments to display interesting physical phenomena in space such as
“disappearing buoyancy”and a “water ball”．They will also answer viewers’ questions at
the end of the livestreamed event，the agency said.
The activity is intended to spread knowledge about manned spaceflights and ignite enthusiasm
for science among young people.The taikonauts “sincerely invite young viewers to conduct
similar experiments along with them to observe the physical disparities between space and land
environments to experience the fun of exploration”，the agency said.
The agency said last week that the lecture “will mark the launch of the Tiangong Class，
China’s first extraterrestrial lecture series to popularize space science”．It added that such
lectures will be based on the country’ s manned spaceflights and will be presented by
taikonauts.Featuring interactive teaching，the activities will be mainly targeted at youngsters as the
students on the ground were able to communicate with the three taikonauts in real time during the
class.
The Shenzhou mission was launched on Oct.16 by a Long March 2F carrier rocket that
blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China’s Gobi Desert，with
the crew soon entering the Tiangong station.They are scheduled to spend six months working in the
station，making it China’s longest manned space mission.
The agency said that as a national space-based laboratory，Tiangong is also tasked with
promoting and propagating science and technology knowledge.The orbiting outpost has
abundant，unique educational resources and boasts advantages when it comes to encouraging the
public，especially young people to embrace science and space exploration，it said.

When kids melt down in the middle of a crowded store or at a holiday dinner with extended
family，it can be extremely frustrating.But parents can help kids learn self-control and teach them
how to respond without just acting on impulse(冲动)．
Teaching self-control is one of the most important things that parents can do for their kids
because these skills are some of the most important for success later in life.By learning self-
control，kids can make appropriate decisions and respond to stressful situations in ways that can
yield positive outcomes.For example，if you say that you’re not serving ice cream until after
dinner，your child may cry，plead，or even scream in the hope that you will give in.But with
self-control，your child can understand that a temper tantrum(发脾气) means you’ll take away
the ice cream for good and that it’s wiser to wait patiently.
Difficult as it may be，resist the urge to yell when you’re disciplining your kids.Instead，be
persistent and matter of fact.During a child’s meltdown，stay calm and explain that yelling，
throwing a tantrum，and slamming doors are unacceptable behaviors that have consequences.Your
actions will show that tantrums won ’ t get kids the upper hand .For example，if your child gets
upset in the grocery store after you’ve explained why you won’t buy candy，don’t give in—
thus demonstrating that the tantrum was both unacceptable and ineffective.Also ， consider
speaking to your child’ s teachers about classroom settings and appropriate behavior
expectations.Ask if problem-solving is taught or demonstrated in school.
And model good self-control yourself.If you’re in an annoyed situation in front of your
kids，tell them why you’re frustrated and then discuss potential solutions to the problem.For
example，if you’ve misplaced your keys，instead of getting upset，tell your kids the keys are
missing and then search for them together.If they don’t turn up，take the next constructive
step.Show that good emotional control and problem-solving are the ways to deal with a difficult
situation.
5．What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A．Impulsive responses lead to frustration.
B．Kids’ melting down is a common phenomenon.C．Parents should help kids make decisions appropriately.
D．Teaching kids self-control is a must for their future success.
6．What is the parents’ best attitude towards a child’s meltdown?
A．Firm and factual.
B．Calm and tolerant.
C．Cautious and objective.
D．Annoyed and disapproving.
7．Which of the following best explains the underlined part in paragraph 3?
A．Emotional outburst is unexpected behaviors.
B．Kids shouldn’t be responsible for their behaviors alone.
C．Temper loss won’t give the kids a position of advantage.
D．Tantrums are ineffective in interpersonal communications.
8．What message is conveyed in the last paragraph?
A．Slow and steady wins the race.
B．Good example is the best sermon.
C．Experience is the mother of wisdom.
D．Success comes from thorough self-control.

(2022·福建福州质检)
When I stepped into the Samcheong Park Library in Seoul，I saw the future.The simple
building had a nice selection of books and a cafe where readers could enjoy coffee while gazing at
the leaves outside.It was specifically designed without any latest technology.
“What’s so innovative about that？” a librarian in Toronto asked when I showed her
pictures.Innovation to her meant digital technology，like 3D printers.“Why couldn’t they both
be innovative？” I asked.
We are constantly told that innovation is the most important force in our economy，without
which we would be left behind.But that fear of missing out has led us to fall into the false trappings
of innovation over truly innovative ideas that may be simpler and more effective.This mindset
implies that if you just buy the new thing，you have innovated! Each year，businesses and
individuals run around like broken toy robots，trying to figure out their strategy for the latest
buzzword equipment.
At best，this is a waste of resources.Devices are bought，used and abandoned，as the
technology’s capabilities fall short of its promise.But at its worst，this approach can truly cause
damage.Schools cut field trips to purchase tablets with few proven benefits.Companies that applied
AI into hiring have actually strengthened gender and racial prejudices.
True innovation isn’t just some magic devices.It is a continuing process of reflection and
reassessment，which often means adopting “old”ideas and tools in a new context，or evenreturning to methods that worked in the past.Adjusted properly ， these rearview( 后 视 的 )
innovations have proved as transformative as novel technologies.
Look no farther than the streets of New York，which have been redesigned recently to
accommodate cyclists with car-free zones.The idea isn’t new.It was created half a century ago，
with the aim of bringing cities back to their residents.And while e-reader sales have been
exploding，Penguin just announced it would publish tiny printed books，an ideal solution for a
market demanding both convenience and physicality.
9．Why is a librarian mentioned?
A．To set an example.
B．To cite an authority.
C．To make a prediction.
D．To present an argument.
10．What does the underlined “buzzword” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Fashionable. B．Affordable.
C．Practical. D．Imaginative.
11．What does the writer agree with about innovation?
A．Wasted resources lead to innovation.
B．Magic devices encourage innovation.
C．Innovation should be human-centered.
D．The power of technology is undervalued.
12．What is probably the best title of the text?
A．Innovation Is Not That Expensive
B．Future Lies in Returning to the Past
C．Some Best Ideas Are in the Rearview Mirror
D．Innovation：the Most Important Force in Economy
