The First Lesson of “Tiangong Classroom”
Three astronauts-Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu opened the first lecture of Tiangong Class. The courses introduced several interesting experiments. It encouraged people to explore the science and love the space industry. Let’s take a look at these experiments.
Experiment 1 A paper flower made on the earth is put into the space water ball. When the paper touches water, the water quickly enters into the paper. Paper takes in water and expands (膨胀), which will gradually flatten the creases (压平折痕) and create a “flowering” effect.
Experiment 2 After putting a ping-pong ball into the water cup on the ground, it is floating (悬浮) because of buoyancy (浮力), but in space, when the ping-pong ball is put into the water cup, it “sinks (下沉)” and stays in the water, This is because buoyancy appears with gravity (重力). In the weightless (失重) environment of space, buoyancy almost disappears.
Experiment 3 An effervescent tablet (泡腾片) is put into a blue water ball. Most of the bubbles (气泡) produced by it stay in the water ball and turn into a bubble ball, like a blue earth. Inside the space station, the bubbles are not affected by buoyancy. Most of the bubbles remain in the water, while a few break through the surface.

Nowadays, more and more teenagers are getting information online. In this process, teenagers found new ways of using English as a language. Don’t look down upon the teenagers. 36
Have you ever seen someone sending “OMG” online You probably think it’s a new word and look it up in your dictionary. Well, you won’t find it. 37 It’s one of the new ways of people using English online where they put the first letters of a phrase or even a sentence together. Let’s have a look at another example. When your friends ask you out but you don’t really want to go, you can say “TBH, I’m not in the mood for it today.” There stands for “to” and B stands for “be”. 38 So here, it means “to be honest”. Or next time when you wait for your friends but they are late, text them saying, “Come ASAP.” That’s right! By “ASAP”, you mean “as soon as possible”. Isn’t it fun to text in this “new language”
39 It is used online or when people message each other. In other words, other than those two fun situations, it is highly inappropriate to talk like that. Imagine you are talking to your teacher about your studying, and you say “Ms. Adams, OMG, I can’t solve the problem.” It gives people a sense of feeling that you are just playing around. Or you are writing an email applying for a high school, you write “I want you to write back ASAP.” 40 So teenagers, use this “new language” wisely.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A．However, it’s not always fun.
B．You must have guessed that H stands for “honest”.
C．You might not understand the popular words they created.
D．There’s a high possibility that you’ll never hear from them.
E．It is a popular expression online which simply means “oh my god”.
