Is everybody here? I have a announcement to make. We’re going to climb the mountain if the weather gets much good. I wish the weather is better here for you.
If it doesn’t snow too heavy tonight, I’ll see you back here at six o’clock tomorrow morning. We’ll take our breakfast with us because we won’t reach the top of the mountains unless we set out early. Be there tomorrow morning with everything you need it. I’ll give you a list—you need a whistle in case you get separating from the rest of the group, warm waterproof clothing, gloves a good pair of boots. Don’t forget to bring the maps I gave you yesterday.
It’s time we had dinner now, so if anyone has any questions, you can ask me in the way to the dining hall. Let’s go.
In early December I came to the Arctic town of Iqaluit in search of parenting wisdom. All the moms _______one golden rule: Don't shout or yell at small children. The culture views _______ or even speaking to children in an angry voice as _______. “When they're little, it doesn't help to raise your _______. It will just make your own heart rate _______,” a mom said. “And you are _________them to yell,” said clinical psychologist Laura Markham. “On the contrary, parents who control their own anger are_________their children to learn to do the same.”
“But how do you_________ kids to behave well? How do you keep your 3-year-old from running into the road?” I asked. “We use _______,” said Jaw, another mom. There are ________ stories passed down by word of mouth from one generation of Inuit to the next.
For example, they teach kids to stay away from the ________ by telling a story about the water monster. “If the child walks__________the water, the monster will__________him down to the ocean and adopt him out to another family,” Jaw says. “Then we don‘t need to ________ at a child, because the child is ________ getting the message.”
At first, such stories seemed to me a bit too ________for little children. But my opinion________ after I learned more about human ________with storytelling. Psychologist Deena Weisberg said, “Don't ________ the playfulness of storytelling. We learn best through things that are__________to us. And stories are much more interesting than bare statements.”

In Stressful Times, Make Stress Work for You
These are stressful times. Fortunately, we can actually use that stress to improve our health and well-being. Over a decade of research suggests that it’s not the type or amount of stress that determines its impact. 1..
Step 1: Acknowledge Your Stress
Labeling your stress consciously and deliberately moves neural activity from the amygdala — the center of emotion and fear — to the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for executive control and planning.
In other words, when we take a moment to acknowledge our stress, it moves us from operating from a fearful, reactive place to a position where we can be thoughtful and deliberate.
2..
Step 2: Own Your Stress
The next step is to welcome, or “own,” your stress. We only stress about things that we care about. 3.. If we deny or avoid our stress, we my actually be denying or disconnecting ourselves from the things we value and treasure most.
Step 3:4.
Connecting to the core values behind your stress sets you up for the third and most essential step: using or leveraging stress to achieve your goals and connect more deeply with the things that matter most.
Ask yourself: Are your typical responses in alignment with the values behind your stress? Think about how you might change your response to this stress to achieve your goals and your purpose.
There’s so much happening right now that we can’t control. 5.. Some psychologists argue that true transformative change can occur only during stress or crises. The trick is to channel your coronavirus stress as energy to make the most of this time.
A.Use Your Stress
B.Release Your Stress
C.By owning our stress, we connect to the positive motivation or personal value behind our stress.
D.But — as many people are noticing — there are also unprecedented opportunities.
E.Instead, it’s our mind-set about stress that matters most.
F.But later, we will be able to ask ourselves how we each responded to this crisis.
G.This step is also an opportunity to understand what’s at the heart of your personal stress or anxiety.
The moon may shine white above us most nights of the year, but how much do we know about Earth’s neighbor and what lies beneath its surface? Scientists are aiming to find out.
On Jan 3, 2019, China’s Chang’e 4 spacecraft landed on the far side of the moon – a first for humanity. It released a small probe (探测器), Yutu 2, or Jade Rabbit 2, which began to search beneath the moon’s surface using Lunar Penetrating Radar. These radio signals can reach 40 meters underground, three times the depth of the Chang’e 3 lunar probe launched in 2013 for the near side of the moon, China Daily reported.
In a study published in the journal Science Advances, researchers found that the lunar soil’s top layer on the far side of the moon was much thicker than expected – about 40 meters. Other scientists only expected about 6 millimeters of soil based on NASA observations during the Apollo moon landings, according to The New York Times.
“It’s a fine, dusty, sandy environment,” said one of the authors of the study, Elena Pettinelli, a physics and mathematics professor at Rome Tre University, Rome.
Yutu 2 is specifically exploring the Von Karman crater (大坑), a large hole that’s 180 kilometers wide and also the landing site of Chang’e 4. It’s part of an even larger, older crater spanning more than 1,770 kilometers.
“The subsurface at the Chang’e 4 landing site is very complex,” said Li Chunlai, a research professor and deputy director-general of National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Observations suggest that the subsurface material is totally different than the previous landing site of Chang’e 3, she said.
Radar waves revealed various layers beneath the moon’s surface: grainy (颗粒状的) material, boulders (岩石), and further layers of fine and coarse (粗糙的) particles. This information is helping scientists to gain new understanding of the moon’s history and formation, as well as volcanic activity and lunar impacts.
Yutu 2 is the longest-working rover (巡视器) on the moon, but it won’t last forever. China plans to launch the Chang’e 5 probe later this year, Xinhua News Agency reported. The spacecraft is expected to bring pieces of the moon back to Earth for closer study.

3.What is the Chang’e 5 probe expected to do?

C.Replace Yutu 2 to explore the moon. D.Identify the moon’s various layers.
4.What is the text mainly about?
