Technology (技术) for space travel made our life on Earth better in many ways. Let’s look at
things we wouldn’t have without space travel.
· Camera phones
In the 1990s NASA (美国国家航空航天局) made cameras small enough to fit on spacecraft. The
technology is now used in cell phone cameras so that we can take selfies.
· Sports shoes
There wouldn’t be Nike Air trainers if we didn’t go to space. The shock-absorbing (减震的)
materials of the shoes come from space suits.
· Water cleaning system
In the 1960s, NASA created a technology to clean astronauts’ drinking water. It is now widely
used to clean water in swimming pools.
· Wireless (无线的) headset
Astronauts could easily get tangled up in wires, so NASA made wireless, hands-free headsets.
Astronauts can then move while talking and listening.
· Dust busters (手持吸尘器)
Astronauts hoped to collect samples on the moon. A company created a tool to help them do that.
The company then used this technology to make the dust buster in 1979.
· Computer mouse
In the past, you needed to type in codes (代码) in your computer to make it work for you. In 1968,
a NASA researcher tried to make computers on spaceships easier to use, and this led to the creation
of the mouse.

Art class was over, but Sarah sat glued to her chair. She didn’t draw anything. Sarah’s teacher
looked at the blank paper.
“Ah! A polar bear in a snowstorm,” she said.
“Very funny!” said Sarah. “I just CAN’T draw!”

Sarah grabbed a marker and gave the paper a good, strong jab (戳). “There!”
Her teacher then studied the paper carefully. “Hmmm.” She pushed the paper toward Sarah and
said, “Now sign (签名) it.”
Sarah thought for a moment. “Well, maybe I can’t draw, but I CAN sign my name.”
The next week, when Sarah walked into art class, she was surprised to see what was hanging
above her teacher’s desk. It was the little dot she had drawn – HER DOT! All framed (装裱) in gold!
“Hmmph! I can make a better dot than THAT!” She opened her never-before-used set of
watercolors and set to work.

A yellow dot.
A green dot.
A red dot.
A blue dot.
The blue mixed with the red. She found out that she could make a purple dot. Sarah kept
experimenting, creating lots of little dots in many colors.
“If I can make little dots, I can make big dots, too!” Sarah splashed her colors with a bigger brush
on bigger paper to make bigger dots.
At the school art show a few weeks later, people loved Sarah’s many dots. She found a little boy
gazing up at her.
“You are really a great artist. I wish I could draw,” he said.
“I bet you can,” said Sarah.

The phrase “southern spuds” becomes popular, thanks to Harbin, a city in Northeastern China
that has taken the Internet by storm.
Over 3 million tourists poured into Harbin during the three-day New Year holiday. And many
of them came from southern China where snow was nowhere to be found. Harbin locals gave these
visitors a cute nickname “nanfang xiaotudou” or “southern spuds”. It is because southern people are
usually shorter and they look like small potatoes when wearing thick jackets and hats. To Harbin
people, this name is not to make fun of southerners, but to create a sense of warmth with humor (幽
默).
Harbin tried everything to meet tourists’ needs, especially those from the south. Cooks
carefully cut the local frozen pear into small pieces. Symphony (交响乐) concerts find their way into
shopping malls. A drone (无人机) lifts a man-made moon for tourists to take photos. Harbin really
went all out to make them happy.

However, even though they did all these to please the southern tourists, this nickname
“southern spuds” sparked a debate (辩论) on the Internet. While Harbin locals use the name to show
warmth and goodwill, some sightseers feel that calling them “small potatoes” is making fun of their
height (身高).
Even though people from the Northeast are sincere and warm, we have to admit (承认) that
there is regional stereotype (地区刻板印象) in some parts of China. Nowadays, people travel all the
time. Therefore, it's important to make the world a more welcoming place. After all, everyone likes
kindness and dislikes discrimination (歧视), whether (不论) it's on purpose or not.
21. According to the second paragraph, why do Harbin people call southerners “southern spuds”
A. Because southerners like to eat small potatoes.
B. Because southerners sell small potatoes in Harbin.
C. Because southerners look like spuds in thick jackets and hats.
D. Because Harbin locals want to make fun of southerners’ height.
22. What is the main idea of the third paragraph
A. Southern travelers were very happy with Harbin tourism.
B. Harbin tried their best to attract tourists and make them happy.
C. Harbin cooks made some nice food for southern tourists.
D. Food, shopping malls, and the man-made moon attracted many tourists.
23. Why did some visitors dislike the nickname “small spuds”
A. Because they did not like to debate on the Internet.
B. Because they were not pleased with Harbin tourism.
C. Because they felt that Harbin locals thought they were short.
D. Because they believed that they did not look like small potatoes.
24. According to the last paragraph, how should we treat people from different places
A. We should be kind and welcoming.
B. We should not discriminate them on purpose.
C. We should do everything to make them happy.
D. We should treat them according to their stereotypes.
25. What does the author think of the nickname “southern spuds”
A. He think it’s funny. B. He thinks it’s unfair.
C. He thinks it’s welcoming. D. He doesn’t express his own opinion.
