Taking a picture of Mars is not easy. Once light bounces off the planet, it can take between 3 to 22 minutes to travel to Earth - so there aren't truly "live" images of Mars.
But on Friday afternoon, the European Space Agency will offer the closest thing: the first "livestream" of Mars a rare, almost real-time look into space on YouTube, which posts pictures of the planet every 50 seconds as they beam down directly from the camera mounted (安装) on the agency's Mars Express orbiter(轨道飞行器). We can get a firsthand look at Mars on Friday.
"During Friday's one-hour livestream, the time between the images being taken from orbit around Mars and appearing on your screen will be about 18 minutes," James Godfrey, the spacecraft operations manager at the ESA's mission control center, said in a statement. "That's 17 minutes for light to travel from Mars to Earth in their current configuration, and about one minute to pass through the wires and servers on the ground."
"Normally, we see images from Mars and know that they were taken days before. I'm excited to see Mars as it is now -- as close to a Martian(火星人) 'now' as we can possibly get!'
In 50-second intervals, the camera shoots across Mars, showing a side of the planet entering night, as well as some clouds billowing out on the comer. The livestream celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Mars Express mission which was launched in 2003 to better understand the planet, as well as search for traces of water.
It's with this camera, originally meant for engineering purposes, that we'll get "live" images on Friday evening from 18:00 CEST in the first MarsLIVE. What makes this unique, is that it's a one-hour livestream from Mars but don't expect a detailed view of the Red Planet!
28. What can we learn from this text
A. Watching the MarsLIVE, people will have a completely real-time view of the Mars.
B. The audience can watch the MarsLIVE thanks to the camera on the Mars
C. About 20 years ago, the ESA launched an orbiter to search for Martians.
D. The MarsLIVE is to celebrate the launch of the Mars Express mission in 2003.
29. What does the underlined word "configuration" in paragraph 3 mean
A. Equipment. B. Orbit. C.Planet. D. Spacecraft.
30. What is the text mainly about
A. The live images taken from orbit around Mars.
B. The 20th anniversary of the Mars Express mission.
C. The first "livestream" of Mars to be shown on YouTube.
D. A rare and almost real-time look into space on YouTube.
31. What does the last paragraph imply
A. The camera was originally used to shoot the Mars.
B. We can get truly live Mars images in the first MarsLIVE.
C. Detailed images about the Mars can't be ensured.
D. The unique MarsLIVE will live up to viewers' expectation.
D
Whenever you read text, your brain processes the visual stimuli (刺激物) to create meaning and understand the content. Chances are, you don't pay much attention to the way the information is presented-- particularly the font (字体) choice. That's because your main target is reading comprehension, not aesthetics.
Although typography(排印) is missed by most of us, it's essential in making texts legible, readable and appealing for audiences. Beyond the visual aspect, research shows that fonts play a significant role in the mental processes of understanding that happen while we read. A font's impact on the way you learn and memorize information might be hard to notice consciously, but your brain is certainly tuned in. Perhaps surprisingly, hard-to-read fonts such as Bodoni, Comic Sans, or Monotype Corsiva are better for memorizing information than fonts like Arial or Times New Roman, according to some studies.
"Difficulty can function as an alarm signal, giving the reader a sense that the task is challenging and will require mental effort," says Daniel Oppenheimer, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University and one of a 2010 study authors, "Additionally, slowing down the reading speed to deal with the disfluency may increase the probability of spotting errors in a text."
Font characteristics such as style, size and color play a role in information retention memory or recall as well, says Stephen Banham, a typography lecturer at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. Experiments have proved a U-shape relationship between font size and memory: Large-font items may predict higher recall regardless of style, but very small font sizes can also introduce a desirable difficulty.
A document's specific method of formatting information also makes an impact. Using font styles like bold or italics to indicate significance can also improve memory. That's because people are better able to remember information they consider important, says Oppenheimer. Researchers found that bolded text has a higher recall than text in italic or regular styles, regardless of the font size. However, if an entire document is bolded, the emphasis is lost, and readers can no longer spot vital passages.
32. Why do readers often ignore the font choice
A. They lack aesthetic knowledge.
B. They aim to understand the meaning.
C. Their brains are not sensitive to the font.
D. Fonts are of little significance in reading.
33. What does Daniel Oppenheimer say about hard-to-read fonts
A. They can lead to desirable challenges.
B. They may distract readers from the text.
C. The meaning of the text may be mistaken.
D. They will affect reading performance negatively.
34. What can improve people's information retention or recall
A. Using fonts of medium size.
B. Choosing bright font colors.
C. Putting the words in italic type
D. Making the whole passage bold.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. What Fonts Make Reading Easy
B. What Fonts Make Memory Lasting
C. Why Fonts Impact Retention and Recall
D. How Fonts Affect Learning and Memory

People these days are posting about their lives on social media. But what if you're a private and introverted person like me What if you want to live in the moment instead of sharing every bit of your life To be honest, it's nobody's business but your own. __36__

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文，
For years, my wife Teresa taught physical education at the elementary school level. Travelling on a regular schedule to the six schools in her district, she had a chance to get to know most of the kids in the area and see them at their best and their worst.
One day, in her class, Teresa noticed a third-grade girl, Meagan, who was short and grossly overweight, with a closed and hopeless look on her face. Meagan always sat alone in class, played alone at break, and ate alone from a recycled paper sack at lunch. The teachers and staff were kind to Meagan, but the students were not.
The stories made your shoulders drop. Teresa heard that when the playground supervisors (管理员) turned their backs, kids would run up to Meagan, calling her "Meagan the Fat Pig." They did far worse than isolate (孤立) her; they filled her school days and walks home with physical and emotional torment(折磨). Also, Meagan's single mother, a hard-working woman, was trying her best to make ends meet but she had never made it before.
Meagan’s situation disturbed my wife deeply. After talking with the principle and other teachers, Teresa came up with an idea. She knew from talking to Meagan that the child had never had a pet. Teresa was sure a pet would be the perfect way to inject some high-powered love and acceptance into Meagan's life.
So one Saturday afternoon, Meagan was invited to Teresa's office. When the door buzzer sounded, a dog engaged in a predictable and vigorous welcome. Getting down on one knee, Teresa introduced herself to Meagan. She told Meagan her thought that she could take away a puppy if she liked. Like any creature that has been cared about, Meagan gleamed in her eyes and playfully lifted the puppy almost off the ground. That day Meagan left the office with the puppy.

Paragraph 1: Now she had a living, breathing friend who wanted to play with her.
Paragraph 2: Ten years later, Teresa received an invitation to the high school graduation ceremony from Meagan, where Meagan made a speech.

Now she had a living, breathing friend who wanted to play with her. The cute puppy loved to cuddle up next to her on the sofa and sleep next her on the bed. When Meagan came home from school, the puppy would rush to the door, and follow her from room to room through the house. They became close ones, being together whenever and wherever possible. Energized by the puppy's unconditional love, limitless affection and loyalty, Meagan began to blossom. She did find fellow pet lovers who befriended her, and things began to improve for her physically, emotionally, and socially.
Ten years later, Teresa received an invitation to the high school graduation ceremony from Meagan, where Meagan made a speech. When Meagan strode to the platform, head high and beaming, Teresa hardly recognized her. She gave a speech on the importance of acceptance and friendship. She talked about the puppy and the great teacher she'd met in the third grade who had helped her climb the steep and treacherous slope of her childhood. It was the puppy who had comforted her when there wasn't enough to eat in the house and who had stayed by her while she sobbed her heart out. At the conclusion of the speech, Meagan lifted her hands high, displaying a photograph of the puppy, saying, "Thank you, puppy, my close friend. Thank you, Teresa, my great teacher!'" As she described, the crowd rose to their feet with cheers, laughter, and long, thunderous applause
