There’s no pizza o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n Mars, but scientists have found a way to solve this problem for hungry astronauts: a pizza printer! NASA has developed a machine that “prints” food. They showed a model of the printer in Texas, the US.
How does it work C ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )artridges (墨盒) can be filled with powdered dough (面粉团), cheese, sauce, water and oil. Put these ingredients (配料) layer by layer onto a printer bed. The printer bed, which gets hot from below, cooks the food as it’s being printed.
Since most of the in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gredients are powdered (使成粉末), they can be sent into space and stored for many years without going bad. The food powder can mix with water and oil when they’re being printed.
In outer space, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )here are fewer choices for astronauts for dinner. Most of their foods — even things like beef — are eaten from bags as powder. Scientists hope the new food printer can be used to make more delicious food in outer space, keeping astronauts healthier and healthier.
The printer isn’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )only used in outer space. Scientists think it could be useful on the Earth, too. It could allow personal meals to be made at the dinner table, according to people’s different needs.

( )39. Which of the following is TRUE
A. Astronauts can eat beef powder in outer space.
B. A model of the food printer was shown in New York.
C. Only astronauts can eat the food from the printer.
D. The printer can only be used in outer space.
( )40. What’s the BEST title for this passage

C
Exhausted Fin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns (芬兰人) in the western city of Turku can now escape pressures at home or stress at work at a café where people can catnap (打盹儿).
The idea of Turku’s n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ew “nap” café is from Jeremy Mast, a Frenchman who has been living in Finland since 2006 and was searching for a place to rest several years ago.
“The idea came to me i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n a restaurant when I felt a bit sleepy after a meal,” he said. “I thought it would be so nice to have a place for resting and I started to think what it could be like.”
After finding people l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iked his idea, Mast opened the Naphouse in January, 2009 with the support of the European Union’s youth culture budget. The café is also used as an art gallery and an activity workshop for young people.
People are giv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en slippers, a pillow, a blanket (毯子) and even a teddy bear before entering the blue-coloured nap room.
“A lot of differ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ent kinds of people come here: students, working people and a lot of mothers with babies,” Mast said, adding that his customers often sleep there for about an hour and a half.
Customers can use the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) service for free, but some choose to make a donation to the Naphouse.
Now that he runs th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e Naphouse, however, Mast says he does not always have time to have a nap during the day.
( )41. What do we know about Jeremy Mast

Zhang Zhaojie, a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )13 -year -old schoolboy in Xiamen, enjoyed many snacks during Spring Festival. “I love chocolate and chips very much. They are high in sugar and fat. But I can’t help eating them,” Zhang said.
Recently, an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )online list of favourite snacks in China became popular. It said that peanuts, walnuts and chocolate are good for our health, but jelly (果冻), potato chips and lollipops (棒棒糖) are “bad”. Almost every kid on the planet loves snacks, and they seldom care how healthy they are. Although some snacks like chocolate and candy are found everywhere, others are unique to a country or a culture.
In Japan, Match ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a (抹茶) is a kind of green tea powder. It’s made from tea leaves and can be used with ice cream or cakes. In fact, Matcha originated (起源于) in China but took off (大受欢迎) in Japan. Biscuits or cookies covered with chocolate are also Japanese favourite.
Potato chips and Frenc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h fries are very popular in the US. They are cheap but tasty. But they are high in calories and eating too much may make you fat. Popcorn is another typical snack. People eat it when they are watching sports games or visiting the amusement parks. Most cinemas also sell popcorn.
In the UK, many pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ople sit down for snacks at about 4 pm every day. They call it “afternoon tea”. Traditional afternoon tea is biscuits and tea. People also have scones (烤饼) with jam and cream, which is probably the most classic English snack.

One possible version:
If I could hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e a chance to choose, I would prefer to live on Mars. First of all, I think Mars would be a clean place without pollution. And secondly, living on Mars would be more fun. We wouldn’t need to go to school and have classes. We could study at online schools. And we could play lots of exciting games like low-gravity ball games. When we were free, we could take a spacecraft to its two moons and have a good time travelling there. Isn’t it wonderful And we could even drive cars like driving planes because cars could float on Mars. It sounds amazing.

There’s no pizza o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n Mars, but scientists have found a way to solve this problem for hungry astronauts: a pizza printer! NASA has developed a machine that “prints” food. They showed a model of the printer in Texas, the US.
How does it work C ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )artridges (墨盒) can be filled with powdered dough (面粉团), cheese, sauce, water and oil. Put these ingredients (配料) layer by layer onto a printer bed. The printer bed, which gets hot from below, cooks the food as it’s being printed.
Since most of the in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gredients are powdered (使成粉末), they can be sent into space and stored for many years without going bad. The food powder can mix with water and oil when they’re being printed.
In outer space, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )here are fewer choices for astronauts for dinner. Most of their foods — even things like beef — are eaten from bags as powder. Scientists hope the new food printer can be used to make more delicious food in outer space, keeping astronauts healthier and healthier.
The printer isn’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )only used in outer space. Scientists think it could be useful on the Earth, too. It could allow personal meals to be made at the dinner table, according to people’s different needs.

Zhang Zhaojie, a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )13 -year -old schoolboy in Xiamen, enjoyed many snacks during Spring Festival. “I love chocolate and chips very much. They are high in sugar and fat. But I can’t help eating them,” Zhang said.
Recently, an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )online list of favourite snacks in China became popular. It said that peanuts, walnuts and chocolate are good for our health, but jelly (果冻), potato chips and lollipops (棒棒糖) are “bad”. Almost every kid on the planet loves snacks, and they seldom care how healthy they are. Although some snacks like chocolate and candy are found everywhere, others are unique to a country or a culture.
In Japan, Match ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a (抹茶) is a kind of green tea powder. It’s made from tea leaves and can be used with ice cream or cakes. In fact, Matcha originated (起源于) in China but took off (大受欢迎) in Japan. Biscuits or cookies covered with chocolate are also Japanese favourite.
Potato chips and Frenc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h fries are very popular in the US. They are cheap but tasty. But they are high in calories and eating too much may make you fat. Popcorn is another typical snack. People eat it when they are watching sports games or visiting the amusement parks. Most cinemas also sell popcorn.
In the UK, many pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ople sit down for snacks at about 4 pm every day. They call it “afternoon tea”. Traditional afternoon tea is biscuits and tea. People also have scones (烤饼) with jam and cream, which is probably the most classic English snack.

One possible version:
If I could hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e a chance to choose, I would prefer to live on Mars. First of all, I think Mars would be a clean place without pollution. And secondly, living on Mars would be more fun. We wouldn’t need to go to school and have classes. We could study at online schools. And we could play lots of exciting games like low-gravity ball games. When we were free, we could take a spacecraft to its two moons and have a good time travelling there. Isn’t it wonderful And we could even drive cars like driving planes because cars could float on Mars. It sounds amazing.
