Antarctica (南极洲) is the coldest, driest and windiest place on our planet. What would it be like to live and work there On Oct. 15th, 2019, 50 Chinese scientists set sail from Shenzhen, heading for Antarctica. This was our country's 36th Antarctic expedition. The ship, Xuelong 2, is the first icebreaker made in China. Xuelong 2 is one of the world's best research icebreakers.
It can sail to any place around the world in one trip without refueling (加燃料). It can work in temperatures as low as -30%℃. It is the first in the world to use two-way ice-breaking technology, which means that it can break the ice while moving forward or backward.
Because of Antarctica's special environment, scientists from around the world have been there to do studies for many years. The study of Antarctica's geology (地质) is also important. Rock in Antarctica can tell scientists what the weather was like a long time ago. And they can help scientists understand how the earth has changed over time. There are also many wild animals, such as penguins and seals. Scientists can learn how animals live in cold places by studying them.
As we all know, life in Antarctica is not easy－it's cold and sometimes dangerous. But scientists say it's still quite fun. For example, some scientists study how penguins walk, what they eat and why they move from one place to another. They are excited to see the cute animals playing around. They hope their studies can help protect them.
Xuelong 2 finished its tasks and returned to Shanghai on April 22, 2020.

There are countless myths（神话）to explain how the world came to have a moon to bring light to the night time. But now there is a plan for a man-made moon. It will give us far more light than the natural Moon.
China is preparing to put a man-made moon in the sky above Chengdu by 2020. It will reflect sunlight back on to the Earth. If it succeeds, three more such objects will be sent out in 2022, according to Wu Chunfeng, a space scientist. Wu said it would be similar to how we get moonlight, but he predicted that the man-made moon would have eight times the brightness of the real one. “This is because the object will be about 500 kilometers above the Earth. That will make it a lot closer to us than the Moon, which is over 380,000 kilometers away,” Wu added.
If the plan works, the man-made moon will save a lot of power. Scientists predict that Chengdu could save around 1.2 billion yuan in electricity every year if a new moon lit up 50 square kilometers of the city. And in 2022, four man-made moons can take turns to work as they will not always be in the best position（位置）relative to the Sun. Together, they can give light to an area of up to 6, 400 square kilometers on the Earth for 24hours. That means its brightness will be seen in most areas in China, reducing the need for streetlights.
21．Above which city is China preparing to put a man-made moon in the sky by 2020
A．Beijing B．Shanghai C．Chengdu D．Wuhan
22．The underlined word “reflect” in Paragraph2 means“________”.

24．What can we learn from the passage
A．The man-made moon will be as bright as the natural one.
B．The man-made moon will work similarly to the natural one.
C．The man-made moon has already lit up the city of Chengdu.
D．The man-made moonlight will cover the whole china.

When two people meet, there are a lot of ways of greeting. The ways of greeting are not always the same in different countries.
In America, two people usually greet each other with a handshake. It is a way to show respect to the other person. Athletes from opposite teams shake hands before a game for the same reason. However, most Americans don’t shake hands when they meet people they have already known well. When American friends meet each other, they might only wave, or maybe just nod their heads.
In New Zealand, there is a special way of greeting called “Hongi”. In the greeting two people press their noses and foreheads together and close their eyes. This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori who were the first people to live in New Zealand. Even today, many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet.
Kissing is sometimes used as a way to greet someone. In some countries, important people used to wear special rings. It was the custom for visitors to kiss these rings when they came for a meeting. In France, when people meet, they sometimes kiss each other on the face. In Japan, people bow to each other every time they meet. Even family members bow to each other. People decide how low to bow depending on how respected the other person is.
Today, new ways of greeting are created all the time. People can do this with a quick “hi”, a handshake, or even a simple smile. The important thing is that the people they are greeting understand them.
26．How low does one Japanese bow to the other
A．It depends on how respected the other person is. B．It depends on how old the other person is.

It’s Friday evening. My daughters sighed when I gently took the iPads away from their laps. One by one, our screens were turned off. We lit the candles and sat down to have a big meal.
We call it our “Tech-Free Day” which lasts from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. Now most friends know they will not be able to contact us by using computers or mobile phones for 24 hours.
I first understood the importance of “Tech-Free Day” in 2008, when my father had got brain cancer. Some days he would have only one good hour, and the only thing I wanted to do was to be with him. When I looked after my father, I turned off my mobile phone.
Soon after that, my husband and I decided to turn off all the electronic things for one full day every week.
During our “Tech-Free Day”, time slows down. Our Saturdays now feel like mini-vacations. We drive cars or ride bikes. We work in the garden, play board games and cook meals with our kids. I feel like a better mother, wife and person.
Keeping a balance between the good and the bad of technology is important for my family. The technology helps us share knowledge and funny ideas all over the world. But the technology also takes something away from us. When we stay up late at night linking from website to website or sending messages, we click again and again until we have been overloaded.
Now we’re rushing into the time full of high technology. We should pay attention to what we are doing online and when we should go offline.
I will always remember the most important thing in my family: Tech-Free Day.
