When Susan Murabana was a college student volunteering with Cosmos Education, anon-profit aimed at improving science learning in developing countries,she looked through a telescope for the very first time.Suddenly,Saturn(土星)and its yellow-gold rings were more than just an illustration in a textbook;they were real and the experience was powerful.
While traveling with the organization to schools and villages in her home country of Kenya, and helping teach young children,she realized she wanted children in Kenya, especially girls,to be as exposed to astronomy as children in the developed countries were.
In 2014,Murabana and her husband Daniel Owen set up the social enterprise Travelling Telescope,an educational program designed for young children in under served and remote communities.With just a telescope and a mobile inflatable planetarium(天文馆),they aim to change lives by giving children a chance to see Saturn,the moon,and various stars, while teaching them basic science and astrophysics.
“There's a satisfaction you get from going to a school,talking to the children,and seeing their reaction and their anticipation,”said Murabana.“A 12-year-old boy in eastern Kenya even told us,'I used to think scientists lie,but now I believe in science.’”Murabana believes astronomy,or even simply the act of looking up at the sky,establishes an awareness of the need to protect our planet and helps children look at our own planet much more objectively.
There is also a more personal motivation for Murabana's work —fighting against the perception held by most Kenyans that astronomy is a Western science.Actually in 2018 the Kenya Space Agency launched its first satellite into orbit from the International Space Station,and a satellite station in Malindi,on the coast of southeastern Kenya,is used by the European Space Agency for satellite tracking.
So far,over 400,000 people have looked through the Travelling Telescope and the pair want to expand their impact by reaching more schools.

Morpho butterflies are some of the most beautiful butterflies in the world,thanks to their shining blue wings.Now,a new material inspired by butterfly wings was developed by researchers from Shenzhen University in China.This material,a type of colored film,can help keep the objects it is attached to cooler than the temperature around it.
The problem of color and the absorption of heat has troubled scientists for centuries.Any object that contains color will heat up faster.This somewhat complex issue has implications for a surprising number of real-world issues.In buildings,large amounts of energy are used for cooling and running the air conditioner in electric cars can greatly reduce the driving range.
In order to create a material that could avoid these issues,Dr.Wanlin Wang and his team looked to nature for inspiration,as is often the case in science research.Specifically,they looked at the Morpho butterfly.According to New Scientist,the wings of this brilliantly blue butterfly are made of nanoparticles(纳米级颗粒)arranged in a particular way that bend and bounce lightwaves to create color as opposed to absorbing them.This allows them to keep cool.
Wang and his team are not the first team to create materials that allow for passive cooling using the properties of light;however,they are the first to do so in color.All other materials have been white or clear,while the new film comes in bright blue,yellow and red.
In order to test their new material,Wang and his team placed sheets of film in various colors on cars,clothing,cell phones,and roofs,from 9am to 4pm,both in winter and summer. They discovered that the films were more than 59 F cooler in the winter and 95 F cooler in the summer.
Their hope is that eventually this type of film will be used to cover electric cars,but intruth the possibilities are endless:stained glass windows that keep skyscrapers cool,self-cooling camping tents,cool-looking computers that don't overheat,etc.All of these mayone day be a reality thanks to the beautiful morpho butterfly.
8.What is stressed in paragraph 2
A.The complexity of cooling down buildings.
B.The necessity of creating new cooling materials.
C.The principles of color and heat absorption.
D.The applications of the recently developed film.
9.What plays a key role in helping the morpho butterfly keep cool
A.Its unique shape.
B.The property of light waves.
C.Its brilliant color.
D.The nanostructure of its wings.
10.What is special about the new material
A.It pioneers passive cooling.B.It is a colored cooling material.
C.Its size varies with temperature.D.Its creation is inspired by nature.
11.Which can best describe the prospect of the new material
A.Uncertain.
B.Discouraging
C.Promising.
D.Risky.

When I was a young postdoctoral researcher at Cambridge,I met a bearded professor at a fancy dinner.He asked me,“So young man,what do you do ”I told him I was working on the genetics(遗传学)of childhood obesity(肥胖症).“Ha!Do you know what your problem is ”he replied.“You give fat people an excuse.”
The professor's reply threw me.I was about to push back,when it occurred to me tha this view was shared by much of society.Obesity is seen as a problem of physics;people just need to eat less and move more.But although how we get to our body weight is reliant on physics, the real question is why Why do some people love food,while for others it's simply fuel Besides powerful societal and cultural influences,there are equally powerful genetic factors that influence our eating,and hence our body weight.
Large population-based studies,such as UK Biobank,a survey of nearly half a million adults,have helped to reveal the genetic architecture underlying differences in body size. Butthe childhood obesity data do not exist.And that's a problem,because we know that children with obesity probably will grow into adults with obesity.Thus,understanding the genetics and natural history of childhood obesity will play a key role in its treatment and prevention.
Luckily,there is hope.D-CYPHR,a genetics research programme,is open to every child.It aims to create a truly inclusive research sample and investigate a range of conditions,for which obesity is a major contributing factor.D-CYPHR is ambitious and will face challenges in creating a truly inclusive research sample.But if it does,it will circumvent many of the problems in adult health research by building inclusivity in from the beginning.
You can help pioneer new treatments for millions of people by helping unlock the power hiding in your DNA.Now,a nationwide movement for ages 0—15 is being held and all you need to do is spit(吐)in a tube and complete a short health and lifestyle questionnaire.
12.What's the tone carried in the professor's reply
A.Dismissive.
B.Sympathetic
C.Delighted.
D.Admiring
13.What is a limitation of the previous studies on obesity
A.Limited size of participants.B.Inaccurate sample analysis.
C.Lack of data on childhood obesity.D.Failure to map adults' genetic code.
14.Which is closest in meaning to“circumvent”in paragraph 4
A.Discuss.
B.Face
C.Avoid
D.Create.
15.What does the author want to do in the last paragraph
A.To call for action.
B.To draw a conclusion.
C.To sum up the text.
D.To criticize misconduct.

Leave-No-Trace Camping
For those of us who love spending time in the great outdoors,wild spaces are very special.These are places we visit to recharge,or to fill our hearts with natural beauty.__16__If you feel this way,then you're the perfect person to promote and practice Leave-No-Trace camping.
Its principles are to treat the wilderness the way a decent visitor would and leave everything just as you found it,with no evidence that you passed through.__17__That's because your visit makes a minimal impact on the environment.
You can carry out these ideals in a number of ways.Begin by packing out all your litter.Whenever you go camping,take an empty trash bag with you and put all garbage into the bag.In addition,try not to damage vegetation.__18__Wherever you go,think about what your heavy shoes or boots are doing to the plants underneath and try to keep damage to a minimum.
It's also important that you should not take things away from the wilderness. Rocks, plants, flowers and seashells are all part of the natural landscape.__19 __Plus,many animals find homes and food in abandoned shells and flower-heads,and these are things they would miss if you collected them.
Leave-No-Trace camping is about being respectful and thoughtful.It's about honoring the natural world and the creatures that live in it.If you love seeing an untouched mountain stream or a lovely field of wildflowers,then you've already taken the first step.__20__
A.This means not stepping into a wild animal's“space".
B.This is also called"low impact"or“no impact”camping.
C.Once taken away,they won't be there for others to enjoy.
D.An increasing number of people take up camping in the wilderness.
E.When you put up your tent,try to find a place that's already bare of plants.
F.We hate to see them littered with rubbish or any reminders of previous visitors.
G.Follow these basic practices and you can be models of the Leave-No-Trace philosophy.

A Teacher's Dream
When handball was introduced to Sri Lankan schools in 2010,I wanted to bring it to my school,St Anthony's,in the remote village of Wasalakotte in central Sri Lanka.This became a challenging task as the sports teacher was unwilling to initiate anything other than traditional sports,such as cricket,rugby and basketball.
I was not a sports teacher and I had never played handball before.In fact,I was an English language teacher before assuming my post as vice principal.However,I was determined to start this game at any cost.Handball is a fascinating game which combines speed, strength, flexibility, technical precision,skill and teamwork.As a new sport,I foresaw it as a golden opportunity for our school as we had never secured a place in traditional sports.
The boys were immediately interested and 40 students aged between 13 and 19 signed up to play.I had the support of their parents.Ultimately,I managed to convince the sports teacher to agree.However,we still needed a coach.
Heshan Pradeep,a St Anthony's old boy who graduated some nine years earlier, volunteered to coach the team.He was a member of the Air Force handball team and was happy to take on the role in his free time.He assigned exercises and drills to do in his absence.
Although handball is an indoor game,we trained outdoors as our school had limited facilities.Training started early in the morning before class and continued after school until it was dark.The boys loved the game and were enthusiastic about training.
“This handball craze will ruin your studies!”complained some of the teachers in an attempt to discourage the game.Whenever the boys were late for class after morning practice,they were scolded or punished by their teachers,but I was able to keep them cheerful.
After three months of intense training,we were able to send an under-19s boys' team to compete with 50 other schools at the first all-island school handball tournament held in Colombo—the country's richest city.

However,the Handball Association rejected our application because we weren’t association members.Heshan and I decided to talk with the association,insisting any school on the island should be welcomed.Thankfully,some members also supported us and finally we were allowed to participate.The competition was fierce,as the Colombo students considered it a disgrace to lose a match against boys from a rural village school,saying they wouldn't allow the cup to be taken out of Colombo.However,our boys played remarkably well and the team's moves were technically perfect.Through tireless efforts,they fought all the way to the championship.
The victory sent the whole school into festive mode.There was a ceremony to welcome us back. A large banner was hung at the school gate.With colorful balloons released into the sky,the students cheered and jumped with wild joy.The teachers,just as thrilled as the students, joined in the celebration with beaming smiles and contagious enthusiasm.Celebrating the victory was most deserved.We had overcome so many challenges and the players had dedicated so much towards this win,I always had a dream that handball could become a unifying force,bringing students and teachers together,and inspiring everyone to strive for greatness.Heshan and I felt immensely honored to have fulfilled that dream.
