Dear Sad Moon,
I'm sorry to know that you are feeling sad these days. A diary is something quite personal. It's where we write down our most private thoughts and feelings, hoping nobody will read it. So it was natural to get angry when you found your mother secretly reading your diary.
To solve the problem, it’s best to communicate honestly with your mother. Tell her how it makes you feel when she reads your diary. And explain how important it is to have your own private space. Besides, it might be helpful to understand why your mother wants to read your diary. Perhaps she just wants to know what is going on in your life. If so, instead of hiding your secrets, openly sharing them is a better solution. If your mother knows that you are safe, she will certainly let you keep your secrets.
Hope my advice will be of some help to you.
Best wishes,
Tree Hole

Dear Dry Fish,
I'm sorry to know that you are feeling sad these days, I know how you feel. It's natural to want some personal space and have your own way of doing things. But your mom may see things differently. She might think a clean room creates a healthier environment and that it's easier for you to focus on schoolwork when the space is organized. She truly cares about you and wants you to develop good habits for the future.
Here are a few suggestions that might help. First, open communication. Instead of keeping your feelings bottled up, why not sit down with your mom and have a heart-to-heart talk Second, find the middle ground. For example, you can agree to clean up your room twice a week. Remember, your mother loves you and she hopes you can be the best.
Hope my advice will be of some help to you.
Best wishes,

Can plants grow on the moon Here’s the good news. Scientists at the University of Florida have grown plants in soil from the moon.
The moon soil was collected by NASA’s astronauts over 50 years ago. The soil is so valuable that it took the scientists 11 years to get NASA’s agreement to use it. NASA didn’t give them much soil--just I2g. Some of the soil was taken from the top layer(层)of the moon’s surface, and the rest came from deeper layers. The moon soil doesn’t have many nutrients--things that help plants grow. It has a large amount of iron, and is full of tiny pieces of glass.
For their scientific test, the scientists chose a plant called thale cress, which can grow in very little soil. They got the moon soil wet with water mixed with nutrients. Then they added the seeds. To compare, they also planted the seeds in volcanic ash(火山灰).
After two days of watering, the scientists saw green plants in every soil layer. “All of the seeds grew. I can’t tell you how surprised we were!” said one of the scientists. As time went on, the scientists began to notice differences. The plants grown in the moon soil weren’t as healthy as those grown in volcanic ash. They were smaller and grew more slowly, and some leaves turned red. The plants grown in the top layer moon soil did the worst of all.
Anyway, showing that plants can grow on the moon is a really good starting point. It is the first step toward growing plants for food and O2 on the moon one day. By studying changes in the DNA of the plants grown in the moon soil, scientists may find new ways to help plants grow better on the moon. It is actually a huge step in achieving humans’ long-time dream of living on the moon.
What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A. The astronauts collected the moon soil 11 years ago.
B. It was difficult for the scientists to get the moon soil.
C. NASA gave most of the moon soil to the scientists.
D. Many nutrients can be found in the soil from the moon.
24. Why did the scientists choose thale cress
A. It is a common plant. B. It can live for a long time.
C. It can grow without water. D. It doesn't need too much soil.
25. How was the growth of the plants (from good to poor)
a. the plants grown in volcanic ash
b. the plants grown in the top layer moon soil
c. the plants grown in the deeper layer moon soil
A. c>a>b. B. a>b>c. C. a>c>b. D. b>a>c.
26. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. The value of the results of the scientific test.
B. Humans’ dream of living on the moon.
C. New ways to help plants grow better on the moon.
D. Changes in the DNA of the plants grown in the moon soil.

①Australian scientists have come up with a clever way to study hard-to-reach areas of the sea floor: they attached（固定）cameras to sea lions.
②Australian sea lions are endangered. Their numbers have dropped by over 60% in the last 40 years. Scientists wanted to learn more about how sea lions get food in different areas of the sea floor.
③Most sea floor areas are difficult for humans or robots to reach. But sea lions can cover large areas of the sea floor quickly, and go deeply to places humans can't reach. Then the idea came.
④Scientists chose eight healthy female（雌性的）sea lions. To feed their babies on the beach, they would certainly return to the land. Scientists put the female sea lions to sleep and attached a camera and a GPS tracker（追踪器）to each of them. Before long, they woke up and headed out to the sea.
⑤Over the next few days, the eight sea lions traveled 560 kilometers underwater, going as deep as 110 meters below the surface. In all,they collected 89 hours of video.
⑥After the cameras were back, scientists saw exactly what the animals had seen. The video showed what food sea lions like and how mother sea lions teach their kids to hunt.
⑦The video also recorded the sea floor areas that had never been seen before. Scientists were able to learn about six kinds of sea floor environments where sea plants and animals live. Thanks to the sea lions,scientists now have a better understanding of these endangered animals and the sea floor.
Why did the scientists want to learn more about sea lions
A. To save sea lions.
B. To protect the ocean.
C. To study different sea floor areas.
D. To build a robot in the shape of a sea lion.
28. How did the scientists carry out their plan
A. They followed sea lions by ship.
B. They studied sea lions’ babies on the beach.
C. They sent robots underwater to record sea lions.
D. They attached cameras and GPS trackers to eight female sea lions.
29. What did the scientists learn from the video
①Sea lions’ underwater travel.
②Some sea floor environments.
③Other sea animals and sea plants.
④Feeding methods of the female sea lions.
①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ D. ①②③④
30. Which can best describe the structure（结构）of the passage？
A. ①②③④⑤/⑥⑦ B. ①②③/④⑤/⑥/⑦
C. ①②③/④⑤/⑥⑦ D. ①②/③④⑤/⑥/⑦
