LEGO began as one man’s small business.But today，it is the second largest toy company in the world.The LEGO company sells small，brightly colored plastic bricks(积木)．People can buy LEGO bricks in over 90 countries.
Ole Kirk Kristiansen from Denmark began his own business in 1932.He made products from wood including colorful wooden toys.Kristiansen’s young son，Godtfred，worked with him.Their business helped them make a lot of money.
By 1934，the Kristiansens named their company LEGO，which came from two Danish words，“leg” and “godt”，meaning “play well”．The LEGO company grew slowly.But it continued to create excellent wooden toys.
By 1947，the LEGO company began using a new material to make their toys—plastic.One of the toys they sold was called the Automatic Binding Brick.A person could put the bricks together to build something.But the bricks did not hold together easily.Still，they were a popular toy.
A few years later，in 1954，Godtfred Kirk Kristiansen had a big idea.He wanted all of the LEGO bricks to fit together.Finally，four years later，in 1958，the LEGO company found their answer.They invented the first modern style LEGO brick，which was similar to the Automatic Binding Brick but each piece would fit with any other piece.
Since that time，any toy that the LEGO company created would fit with any other toy they created.Today，LEGO is not only the second largest toy maker in the world，but also making its products a great way for children to learn creative building skills.

When the Apollo astronauts(宇航员) landed on the Moon in 1969，millions of people were rather sad.The person to blame for this was an artist named Chesley Bonestell.For many years，Bonestell had been creating beautifully detailed paintings of the Moon and planets.Viewers of his artwork were unhappy because the real Moon did not look like Bonestell’s pictures of it.
As a space artist，Bonestell tried to make his drawings look exciting and as true as the Moon is.He worked closely with astronomers and scientists to get the most up-to-date scientific information available.But in the 1940s and 1950s，no one had ever seen another planet up close.Yet Bonestell’s paintings looked so real that some people thought they were photographs.
Even though Bonestell was interested in astronomy，he did not start out as a space artist.As a young man he studied architecture—the art and science of designing and making buildings.In 1938，Bonestell became a special effects artist in Hollywood.It was here that he learned he could improve his paintings by following the methods used in the movies.
In 1944，a popular magazine published a series of Bonestell’s paintings of the planet Saturn.He drew Saturn as if it were seen by someone standing on each of the planet’s moons.The results were dazzling.Within a few years，Bonestell’s artwork was appearing regularly in magazines and books on astronomy and space flight.
Many of Bonestell’s artworks had been right all along.But the biggest surprise was the Moon.Someone asked Bonestell what he was thinking when he saw the first pictures from the Moon.“I thought how wrong I was！”he said.“My mountains were sharp，and they aren’t on the Moon.”
But he shouldn’t have felt bad.No space artist had ever before taken so many people to so many faraway worlds.In the years just before the first manned space flights，Bonestell’s artwork prepared people for the amazing space adventure to come.
8．Bonestell made his space drawings .
A．from a very early age
B．by copying photographs
C．with the help of scientists
D．in order to make a living
9．The underlined word “dazzling” in Paragraph 4 can best be replaced by “ ”．
A．doubtful B．worrying
C．terrible D．wonderful
10．Bonestell’s success lay in the fact that .
A．he created a new drawing skill
B．he helped finish the first space flight
C．he made space travel more popular
D．he helped bring space closer to people
11．What would be the best title for the text?
A．The First Men on the Moon
B．The Space Art of Chesley Bonestell
C．The Journeys of the Apollo Astronauts
D．Spacewalking：Through an Astronaut’s Eyes
D
For many people，moths(飞蛾) are dust-colored pests that eat our clothes and disturb us by flying around lights after dark.Not for artist Joseph Scheer.The pictures he creates bring out the beauty of moths，with colors，shapes，and patterns that have never been seen before so clearly.“Digital tools let you see things you’d never see just looking with your eyes，”Scheer says.Scheer’s pictures have been displayed around the world，and one reaction is heard everywhere：“People insist，‘No，that can’t be a moth，’” says Scheer.
Scheer’s work began with a moth hunt in the state of New York.Scheer would leave the lights on and the windows open overnight at his university office，and then collect the moths that had flown in.When the building cleaners at the university complained，he moved the hunt to his friend Mark Klingensmith’s yard.They set up two lights shining over a plastic container on a white sheet.Then moths appeared from the darkness，flew into the sheet，and fell into the plastic container.“We got a different species every night，” Scheer says.“The patterns and colors were unbelievable.”
After the hunt，they used a powerful scanner to get detailed pictures of moths.Small moths presented special challenges.
The scanner records so much information that a single moth can take 20 minutes to scan.A scan of just two small moths fills an entire CD.All that information means the size of the picture can be increased by 2,700 percent but still keep all the details and appear perfectly clear.You’d need a microscope to see the details shown in Scheer’s prints.
Scheer’s work is not only a new form of art.He has also made a valuable contribution to the record of the moths around him.He has helped identify more than a thousand different species.“Not from Alaska or the Amazon，” Klingensmith says.“All from one backyard.”

12．What do people mean by “No，that can’t be a moth”？
A．Scheer is highly skilled at drawing.
B．They don’t like the pictures of moths.
C．The moths in the pictures are too strange.
D．The pictures seem too beautiful to be moths’．
13．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．How Scheer caught moths.
B．Scheer’s working environment.
C．How Scheer found moths’ beauty.
D．Scheer’s friendship with Klingensmith.
14．The figures mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that .
A．local moths have bright colors and clear patterns
B．a microscope should be used to prepare the pictures
C．clear pictures result from much detailed information
D．high quality paint must be used to create the pictures
15．What does the author think of Scheer’s work?
A．It is a common form of art.
B．It benefits research on moths.
C．It’ll get popular in Alaska or the Amazon.
D．It needs to overcome regional limitations.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever been bored and decided to check social media，only to find out that your best friend is at Disneyland，that one of your classmates is eating delicious pizza at your favorite pizza store，and that one of your soccer teammates is climbing the Eiffel Tower in Paris？Have you ever had that feeling that others are experiencing things and enjoying life more than you are？Oh，man！You’re missing out！ 1 Researchers call that feeling the fear of missing out or FoMO.
2 It’s so easy today to see what your friends are doing from the social media. Unluckily，we only have so much time in the day and only so much money to spend on food or entertainment.It would be impossible for us to enjoy all the same activities we see others take part in on social media.
Rather than realizing this basic truth，though，we usually let FoMO lead us to compare our lives with those of others on social media. 3 Why？We know all the sides of our lives—both good and bad，but all we see on social media are the picture-perfect moments others share.
4 FoMO makes us check social media more frequently，leading to addiction and a negative cycle that can be hard to break.Researchers have found that social media and FoMO can cause serious negative results，including feelings of depression，loneliness and boredom.
5 Researchers advise that we stop looking to social media for happiness.Instead，we should focus our attention on our real lives，including the people around us and all the things we’re grateful for.
A．Have you ever experienced FoMO?
B．At least that’s what you might think.
C．This certainly leaves us feeling dissatisfied.
D．So how do we break the cycle and avoid FoMO?
E．Over 75% of young people report feeling FoMO from time to time.
F．As famous Theodore Roosevelt said，“Comparison is the thief of joy”．
G．If you let FoMO control you，the only thing you’ll really be missing out on is your own life.
