Scientists have always believed that snails are not able to find their way home. But Briton Ruth Brooks, a retired teacher, has found that it is not true.
Brooks started working on snails after she got angry with the snails in her garden. The snails ate her vegetables. She didn't want to kill them, so she took them to another place. But she found they always seemed to come back. Brooks tried to mark the snails in her garden with nail polish (指甲油). She placed the snails in the place around her home and made notes of their movements. She found that snails have a strong homing instinct (本能); the longest returning snail traveled back 90 meters.
People started to call Brooks Britain's best amateur (业余的) scientist after her work won the BBC's prize “To Be A Scientist”. She said, “I've always wanted to know whether the snails that eat my plants just come back when I move them, and if they do, how far is it from their home?” "I would say on the evidence (证据) that it would be safe to take your snails away 100 meters or even farther. If you put them somewhere nice with some food, you can be almost sure that they won't come back."
1.What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. The snails are in her garden. B. Ruth Brooks has a garden.
C. Snails have a strong homing instinct. D. Snails can't find their way home.

Scientists are very interested in the Universe，and they always want to know more about it. Years ago they knew many things about the moon. They knew how big it is and how far away it is from the earth. But they wanted to know more about it. They thought the best way was to send men to the moon. The moon is about 384,000 kilometers away from the earth. A plane cannot fly to the moon because the air reaches only 240 kilometers away from the earth. But something can fly even when there is no air. That is a rocket(火箭)
How does a rocket fly? There is gas（气体） in the rocket. When the gas is made very hot inside the rocket, it will rush out of the end of the rocket, so it can make the rocket fly up into the sky. Rockets can fly out into space. Rockets with men in them have been to the moon. Several rockets without men in them have flown to another planet(行星) much farther away than the moon. One day, rockets may be able to go to any place in space.
