and cherry tomatoes.
Pests：Students built birdhouses to attract insect-eating birds，reducing the need for pesticides.

a herb garden at home." Liu Ming added， "Working together taught me teamwork and

First Aid for Burns
When 12-year-old Li Hua accidentally spilled boiling water on his hand during a cooking class，his
teacher immediately sprang into action.She followed the RICE principle （Rest，Ice，Compress，
Elevate） and added critical steps from the Mayo Clinic guidelines.First，she rinsed the burn
under cool running water for 15 minutes to reduce tissue damage.Next， she removed his
wristwatch to prevent swelling，then covered the wound with a sterile dressing.
At school，students learn these skills through hands-on simulations.Last month，during a first aid
workshop，they practiced treating burns using mannequins and fake wounds. "We even learned
to identify different burn types，" said Li Hua. "Minor burns are red and painful，while severe
ones require immediate medical attention."
The importance of proper first aid was highlighted when a classmate，Wang Lei，used these skills
to help a friend who touched a hot stove. "I remembered not to pop the blister，" he explained. "
That's how infections start."

Astronauts may soon be going to the moon again as NASA
（ 美 国 国 家 航 空 局 ） plans to build bases （ 基 地 ）
there.Astronauts will not be able to take all the food they will
need，so they may have to grow some of it on moon farms.
But can plants grow on the moon？Maybe.That is according to
a new study.Scientists used the soil （土壤） brought back by
Apollo program （阿波罗计划） astronauts from the moon to grow plants on Earth.Scientists
put this soil in little cups and some Earth soil in other cups，then planted seeds （种子），
watered them and placed the cups under growth lights.
In the Earth soil，plants grew healthy leaves.In the Moon soil，plants grew leaves，too.But those
plants were smaller.And they were less healthy.The older the moon soil was，the worse the
plants grew.
Stephen Elardo is one of the scientists.He says it still might be possible to grow plants on the
moon.The key to the success of the study could lie on where on the moon you do your planting.
Scientists still have much to learn.But this study brings humans one step closer to calling the
moon home.
66.Why do astronauts need to grow food on the moon？ ______
A. Because they enjoy farming.
B. Because they cannot bring all their food from Earth.
C. Because moon soil is very healthy.
D. Because NASA wants to sell moon vegetables.

the plants' growth （y）？ ______
A. B.
C. D.
68.What makes the success of the programme according to Stephen Elardo？ ______
A. The weather. B. The number. C. The time. D. The place.
69.What is the main purpose （意图） of the study mentioned in the article？ ______
A. To test if astronauts can live on Mars.
B. To see if plants can grow in moon soil.
C. To compare Earth and moon vegetables.
D. To find new ways to cook moon food.

doing their chores？Try making chores fun for them.

music and let them dance around while they are doing their chores.
Make it a treasure hunt （寻宝）：It's a good way when you would like them to clean the
house.Let them know that you hide （隐藏） a＄5 bill someplace.If they find it，they can keep
it.Change often：It is boring to keep doing the same chores for months.Giving a new task （任务）
is fun for both you and the kids.They will feel more grown-up when they get a new task.
Do chores together： It's never fun to be the only one working and watching everyone else
relaxing.If everyone takes part in doing chores，you will finish them faster and have more fun.
