| Many people watched the lift-off of the space shuttle Columbia on March 21, 1982. But none watched more closely than eighteen-year-old Ted, as Ted's insects were on board the shuttle. The Shuttle Student Involvement Program invited students to make a science experiment. The experiment would be done by astronauts on the space shuttle. Ted had always been interested in space and flight. Insect flight especially interested him. Ted noticed that insects need gravity to take off and land. They need gravity to fly in a straight line. But in space, there is no gravity. Could insects fly in zero gravity? That is what Ted wanted to find out. Ted made an experiment called "Insect in Flight Motion Study". He entered his experiment and soon news came that it was a winner. A large team of scientists and engineers helped Ted get his experiment ready to fly. There were many questions to be answered first. What kind of insects would Ted use in his experiment? The insects would have to be strong enough to live on the shuttle for nine days without much food. What kind of container would hold the insects? Would the insects die during the shuttle flight? After months of hard work, the "insectronauts" were chosen. A group of moths, flies, and honeybees were put into a special box and put onto the space shuttle. When Columbia flew into space, it was carrying insect passengers. On March 24, astronauts Gordon Fullerton and Jack Lousma took out the box that held the insects. They began filming the insects with a special video camera. When the space shuttle landed Ted was able to watch the video film of insects. Just as he thought, most of the insects did have trouble flying in zero gravity. The flies did well. But the moths' flight seemed "uncontrolled". They would often just hang in the air. The bees had the most trouble. They couldn't fly at all! The film showed bees spinning around in all directions. Others were just floating about in the box. Ted learned the answer to his question about insects' flight in zero gravity. But he also learned a lot more. He learned about the hard work needed in making a successful experiment. |
| 1.What does the underlined sentence "it was a winner" mean? |
| A. Ted could fly in space. B. Ted won a prize. C. Ted's experiment was accepted. D. Ted won in a race. |
| 2. What did Ted want to find out? |
| A. Whether the insects could fly in space. B. Whether the insects could fly in a straight line. C. Whether the insects could land after flying for a while. D. Whether the insects could take off after resting for a while. |
| 3. Of the three kinds of insects sent into space, which one flew worst in zero gravity? |
| A. The flies. B. The honeybees. C. The insects. D. The moths. |
| 4. Who did the experiment? |
| A. Ted himself. B. Ted's friend. C. A large team of scientists and engineers. D. Two astronauts on the space shuttle. |
| 5. How did Ted learn the answer to his question about insects' flight in zero gravity? |
| A. By asking the scientists and engineers. B. By studying a book written by the astronauts. C. By going into space and watching the insects' flight himself. D. By watching the video film made by the astronauts. |

| Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren't in film school yet and aren't, strictly speaking, even adults? They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Films Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln Center. Complete with "red carpet" interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18. "What's really exciting is that it's film for kids by kids," said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. "We want to make this a national event," Ms. Gardner added. The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B.B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. "A lot of the material is really mature," Ms. Gardner said, talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. "The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke." Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants' feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country. The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and full-length film whose title is Pressures. |

| If you lose your wallet, how often do you think someone will be kind enough to return it to you, with cash and credit cards? Some people may be greedy, and others are simply too lazy to bother with the trip to the post office to send back a wallet to a stranger. But according to a psychology study by Dr. Richard Wiseman, there's one thing that'll greatly increase your odds of being reunited with a lost wallet: a photograph of a cute baby. In the study, hundreds of wallets were scattered around the streets of Edinburgh, Scotland. The psychologists wanted to see how many strangers would take the trouble to return them to the addresses listed on the drivers' licenses inside-but more than that, they wanted to find out what would make a person more likely to help out a stranger. To finish this, they included personal touches in most of the wallets: some included a photo of a happy elderly couple, some contained a cute puppy, some contained a family portrait, and some held a photo of a lovely baby. Others had receipts(发票) showing that the wallet's owner had recently donated to a charity. Some contained no personal details. As the psychologists soon discovered, the sight of a smiling baby is enough to warm nearly any heart: only one in ten of the strangers who retrieved such wallets did not return them. In contrast, the second most successful image, the puppy, had a 53% return rate. When the wallet included no photograph, it stood only a one in seven chance of being returned to the owner. The success of the baby photograph shows a human compassion for the young that's been passed down through the ages, according to Dr. Wiseman. "The baby kicked off a caring feeling in people, which is not surprising from an evolutionary perspective(进化的角度)," he told the Times. To ensure our species' survival, scientists think that we must feel empathy and compassion for our young. Scientists say that this study supports the argument that we won't feel compassion only for our own babies, but for any that we see-hence, the strong desire a stranger would feel to return a wallet to the baby's parent. On a more basic level, the study also provides a great tip to help ensure that if your wallet is ever lost, you're more likely to get it back. "If you want to increase the chances of your wallet being returned if lost, obtain a photograph of the cutest baby you can find and ensure that it is clearly displayed," said Dr. Wiseman. |
| 1. The main purpose of the psychologists' leaving hundreds of wallets around was to find out________. |
| A. whether people were as honest as before B. what made people willing to help strangers C. what kind of feelings could be caused by a smiling baby D. how evolution influenced human beings |
| 2. The underlined word "retrieved" in Para. 5 probably means "________". |
| A. picked up B. spread out C. found out D. looked for |
| 3. Why did people return a wallet with a photograph of a cute baby in it? |
| A. Because the wallet was not attractive enough to keep. B. Because the sight of a baby could cause a caring feeling in them. C. Because they were curious to know the parents of the baby D. Because the sight of a cute baby reminded them of their own children. |
| 4. If there are 30 lost wallets with a photograph of a cute baby, how many of them will probably be returned? |
| A. Only 3. B. About 15. C. 20 or so. D. About 27. |
| 5. We can learn from the last two paragraphs that________. |
| A. humans usually have compassion for the young B. the caring feeling in people is gone during evolution C. scientists believed that people only feel compassion for their own babies D. a wallet with a cute baby's picture in it cannot be lost |
