What will astronauts（宇航员）eat when a space trip takes years?

“Lots of fresh vegetables,” says Dr. Janet Williams, whose team have spent the last 10 years learning how to grow plants in a space station. And it’s a good thing that she has already started her work, because space gardening can be really hard.

As usual, astronaut George White looked into the closed plant room. He had planted Dr. Williams’s quick-growing seedlings in it, but none of the stems were showing. He opened the room to check and found the problem. The stems weren’t growing upward and the roots weren't growing downward. On Earth, gravity（重力）helps a plant’s stems and roots to find “up”and “down”. However, in the space station, there was almost no gravity.

Dr. Williams suggested a solution: give the plants more light, as plants also use sunlight to find their way. And it worked. When the plants had more light, the stems turned up and the roots went down.

Now Dr. Williams was free to worry about the next problem:Would her baby plants live to flower? Can we grow food on a space journey?

Many plants died in the space station. Dr. Williams thought she knew why: the space plants were hungry for air. Plants live by taking up CO2 from the air. Since a plant uses it up in the air around, the plant needs moving air to bring more CO2 close to its surface! On Earth, the air is always moving. Gravity pulls down cold air, and warm air rises. And with these air movements, plants get enough CO2.

Many earlier experiments with plants in space had used closed rooms.Dr. Williams tried a new greenhouse that had a fan to keep the air move. The plants loved it. They flowered and even produced more seeds. Using Dr. Williams's method, astronaut George completed the first seed-to-seed experiment in space, and moved one plant closer to a garden in space.

“And this,” says Dr.Williams, “is good news for long-term space travel.”

1.Why have Dr. Williams’s team tried to grow plants in space?

A.To produce fresh air for astronauts.

B.To help astronauts relax themselves.

C.To provide food for long space journeys.

D.To make the space garden more beautiful.

2.How did light help solve the problem mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A.It caused the gravity to change.

B.It encouraged the plants to grow faster.

C.It helped the plants to grow in the right direction.

D.It showed the astronauts where to plant vegetables.

3.Why did many plants die in the space station?

A.The light was too strong.

B.There was too much CO2.

C.There was not enough room to grow.

D.The air condition was not good enough.

4.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refers to________.

A.the moving air B.the closed room C.the space journey D.the space garden

5.What can we learn about Dr. Williams’s team from the passage?

A.They mainly live on fresh vegetables.

B.They have successfully built a space garden.

C.They invented a special fan for their greenhouse.

D.They have worked on space gardening for many years.

My husband Shane and I were hanging out on the street one evening. I was talking but he was looking over at someone.

He walked over to a young girl who was crying. As he talked to her, I could see from his body language that he was trying to calm（使平静） her down. When I joined them, I realized that she had been homeless for some time. She told Shane that all she wanted was to go to her sister’s house in another city.

Katie Steller has her own salon (美发院). She often wheels her red chair and scissors around the city to give free haircuts.

Edward was her first lucky customer. He looked to be in his 60s. He was balding and missing a few teeth. While she was cutting his greying hair, he told her about moving closer to his adult children.

Till now, Steller has offered about 30 such haircuts. These people are all living a hard time, and she is aware of the power of her cleanup job.

“It’s more than a haircut,” she says. “I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships. ”

Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. As a teen, she had a very serious disease and her hair thinned terribly. Her mother took Steller for her first professional haircut.

“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says.

After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. In 2019, she began her Red Chair Project.

She says, “I can’t fix their problems with free haircuts, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.”

Early this year she started the Steller Kindness Project, in which people who do acts of kindness (volunteering for snowstorm relief, helping neighbors in need) are invited for a free haircut at Steller’s salon. In exchange, they tell their stories, which Steller shares on her website. Her hope is that by reading about kind acts, others will spread their own.

So far Steller has had people reach out from around the country.

1.Why did Steller start her Red Chair Project?

A.To help her neighbors in need. B.To attract customers to her salon.

C.To help the lonely people feel less alone. D.To invite customers to tell their kind acts.

2.What does Steller mean by the sentence “It’s more than a haircut” in Paragraph 4?

A.A haircut can fix people’s problems.

B.A haircut is what people need most.

C.Haircut stories are well reviewed on her website.

D.A haircut is a simple act to show care, value and respect.

3.Which best describes Katie Steller?

A.Lonely and inactive. B.Kind and thoughtful.

C.Doubtful and generous. D.Serious and careful.

4.Which sentence best expresses the theme of the story?

A.Simple acts of kindness like a free haircut will spread.

B.Haircuts need practice and practice makes perfect.

C.It’s heartbreaking to see how lonely people look.

D.We can win great respect by giving free haircuts.
