Estes, BabyCare’s president. "It starts during pregnancy (孕期), when the anxiety and needs are highest." BabyCare works on a oneto one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by BabyCare advise parents, explain toys that are designed for children at each stage (阶段) of development to age six.BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo.

The Senior 1 girl was cosplaying (角色扮演) "Curarpikt", a character from the popular Japanese comic book Hunter X Hunter (《猎人》)by Yoshihiro Togashi."I cosplay Curarpikt because I like him," said the pretty 15year old girl. "I’m moved by his sad story and I’m attracted by his courage and personality."In the adventure comic story, Curarpikt, a handsome and kind hearted boy, struggles to become a hunter so he can capture(掳获)the people who killed his tribe(部落).Shi has read all the comic books and is a big fan of the animated series(动画片)of Hunter X Hunter. Then last year she saw a real "Curarpikt"in a cosplay show."I had watched cosplay shows before but only for fun," she explained. "It’s really exciting to see young people wearing the make up and costumes of characters that you’ve read about and are familiar with.""But that time I just fell in love with cosplaying, probably because I like Curarpikt so much. I thought I could play the character better, so I decided to have a go."Shi bought some cloth and asked a tailor to make a Curarpikt costume for her. She was delighted to find out there was a cosplay show in Beijing in October. "It’s a great way to spend the national holiday. Posing on the stage for all the comic book fans, I knew I was doing something I had always wanted to do," she said.But she never talks about her hobby with her parents."They think it will distract me from my studies. I don’t want to upset them,that’s my secret hobby," she said. "It’s also why I don’t dye my hair for cosplaying like all the others."8.

His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, andhe had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political.Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners."It was all right with me, "he said years later."I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway."Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either.In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs."Sure, it bothered me, "he said later."But at least it was an honest living.

So in the future, bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut eye. They would have to sleep for years.European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments. The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through theyears it would take for a spaceflight to distant planets. "If there was an effective technology, it could make deep space travel a reality," said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month.What seems like a science fiction is not completely unlikely. Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleep like state where they don’t age. They have now moved on to the small, non hibernating mammals (哺乳动物) like rats.A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems, whereas body organs are far more complex (复杂的). "It’s like moving from a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer," said Marco Biggiogera, a hibernation researcher at Italy’s University of Pavia. Just like bears and frogs, the hibernation of human beings would cause a person’s metabolism (新陈代谢) to lower so they would need less energy.Medical research, however, is just half of a spaceflight hibernation system. There is a challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter (栖身所). Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation, such as the proper temperature. It would also have to monitor (监控) life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator.According to Ayre, the six person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission (使命) to Jupiter’s moon (木星的卫星) Callisto, could be an opportunity to use human hibernation. The mission aims to send six persons on a five year flight to Callisto, where they will spend 30 days, in 2045.17.According to the article, the hibernation research _______.A. is just an ideaB. is always a science fictionC. has already finished successfullyD. has made some progress18.In a hibernating state, a person needs ________.A. less sleepB. more foodC. less energyD. more movement19.The first try of the hibernation technologythe six person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission to Jupiter’s moon Callisto.A. will beB. has been planned forC. is certain to beD. may be20.What is the best title of the article?A. Hibernation study for space travelB. Welcome to our space travelC. To hibernate, to live longerD. Welcome to the Milky Way参考答案1.C 由第一段和第二段可知。
