there for between two weeks and six months, slowly drying out.

damaged, empty or have bugs inside!
4. Into the vault
It’s now time for most of the seeds to go into the vault! They’re stored in air-tight containers at
-20°C in underground rooms. If all goes to plan, they should survive for hundreds of years.
5. Testing time
After a few months, a sample will be tested to see if they’ve survived, Scientists take a careful
note of the best ways to germinate each seed so that they can be grown successfully by
scientists of the future.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题)
I was seven when I went to Ireland to spend a week with my grandparents. Grandma welcomed me into their
cottage by the sea. It was a strange feeling since I hadn’t seen her for a long time.
The following day, I became ill with a cold. I wanted to explore the cliffs, but had to stay in with Grandma.
She was knitting (编织).
“Jane, would you like to learn?”
“Yes.”
She gave me a pair of wooden needles and some soft blue-green wool, the colour of all the seas and oceans.
Wrapping her arms around me, Grandma taught me the art of that ancient craft. I watched her move. Her piece was
full of beautiful patterns (图案). They were intricate (复杂精细的) .
“How do you know what to do?”
,
“I have it in here ” she said, pointing to her head. “My mother taught me this pattern. It tells a story of the sea
and the people who live near it.”
“The cables are ropes and are wishes of safety for the fishermen off the coasts. These zigzags remind me of
the cliff paths I hope you’ll walk with me and pick flowers along the way. And then my favourite is the diamond. It
tells me to treasure all in this life. With each stitch (一针), more love is added to the sweater, and the knitter always
knows for whom she is knitting.” I loved the way I connected stitches together, one at a time, just like what
Grandma said.
All too soon, it was time to go. I wore my sweater Grandma made me, and I gave her the scarf that I had
worked so hard on. It showed how I felt about Grandma.
I never saw her again. But she is with me often, not only because ________ but also because ________.
Especially when I later passed her gift on to my own daughter. We knit in blues and greens, and talk about the
colour of the sea in Ireland. One day we hope to see it together.
