Golf National Championship What does a junior golfer aim to pursue?One thing is to be noticed,ideally by a college coach.A remarkable opportunity will be offered by the Notah BegayJunior Golf National Championship to its participants:an event broadcast by Golf Channel.Players aged between eight and 18 can compete in the new event;information about where and when it will be held will be released later.Barbasol Junior Championship Beginning the career in the PGA Tour is something that a junior golfer tends to dream of.The Barbasol Junior Championship,which is scheduled to take place between June 29 and July 2 at Keene Trace Golf Club inNicholasville,Kentucky,will provide such an opportunity.Boys under 19 years old will qualify for this new 54-hole event,and the winner will be awarded a spot at the PGA Tours Barbasol Championship in July.Changed events Thunderbird International Junior The dates of the AJGAs Thunderbird International Junior have to be changed since the NCAA Championships move to Grayhawk Golf Club inScottsdale,Arizona,for the next three years.Generally,the Thunderbird is played at the end of May.However,this year it is scheduled on different dates for the first time,from April 9 to 12,which means,of course,that the finish date is on Masters Sunday.Gator Invitational Junior golf intends to prepare for the following college golf.If this is the case,then it is crucial to simulate the higher-level experience as much as possible.Because of that,the Gator Invitational,as a junior boys event,has made a significant decision on becoming a 54-hole event by adding a round this year.The new version will be played from March 13 to 15 at The Country Club of Jackson inJackson,Mississippi.1.Which event can be watched on TV?A.Notah BegayJunior Golf

modelscan only predict these storms 10 days in advance,at most,and they cannot precisely predict how intense the storms will become.An international team of researchers has developed a model that analyzes nearly a quarter of Earths surface and atmosphere in order to better predict the conditions that birth typoons.“The target problem of this study is how to foretell the birth of typhoons,”said paper author Mingkui Li,associate professor in the Key Laboratory of Physical Oceanography in the Ocean University of China and the Pilot National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology(QNLM).“We specifically address three aspects:the beginning time,inner pressure and maximum wind speed.”The researchers also accounted for the influence of one variable(变量)on another,such as wind speed on sea surface temperature.This influence is well understood and accounted for in climate predictions and in weather forecasts,butithas not been fully applied in understanding how long-term climate affects day-to-day weather,according to Li.“We aimed to provide insights on the time scale that can be used to forecast typhoons in advance.”From their study,the researchers determined that a model with the ability to better understand the relationship between warm sea surface temperatures and weak wind movement conditions that favor typhoon formationcould improve typhoon predictability.“Our goal is to develop a 10 to 30-day prediction system that will lead to seamless(无缝的)weather-climate predictions.”Shaoqing Zhang,paper author and professor in the Key Laboratory of Physical Oceanography,said.4.What is the problem with the present forecast system?A.It cannot foretell storms in advance.B.It is ineffective in accuracy and timeliness.C.It costs too much and causes

purpose of the study?A.To advance the prediction system.B.To figure out the three main aspects.C.To know how climate affects daily weather.D.To understand the influence of the variables.7.Where is this text most likely from?A.Awork diary.B.A travel guidebook.C.A science magazine.D.A fantasy fiction.C A Singaporean company will feed airport food waste to mealworms before turning them into fish feed,aiming to cut the countrys use of imported feed and offer a continuous alternative.Blue Aqua Internationalwill partner with Dnata,an air and travel services provider,to change organic waste at Singapores Changi Airport into insect protein for aquacultural use,according to a statement Tuesday.The project looks to replace traditional fish and soybean meal as the main sources of protein for aquafeed.The insects will eat the food waste and change it into part of the body containing about 60 per cent protein.The dried baby worms will then be made into feed.These mealworms can be a continuous solution to several problems.Using a small land and giving out less carbon,they turn food waste into feed and offer an alternative source of protein.Ynsect SAS,a small French business that keeps mealworms to feed fish and pets,attracted money from investors includingIron Manmovie actor Robert Downey Jr.in a round of fund-raising last year.The deal will give Singapores farmers access to domestically produced animal feed,which is traditionally bought from abroad.The Southeast Asian nation imports more than 90 percent of its food and has set a goal to produce a third of its food locally by 2030.It also aims to achieve a general recycling rate of 70 per cent by then.Presently,less than 20 per cent of Singapores food waste is recycled.As part of the partnership,Dubai-based Dnata will add Blue Aqua to its list of suppliers to buy locally farmed seafood for its catering service.8.What is the function of mealworms?A.To cut the use of imported fish feed.B.To eat food waste

watches the same kind that Buzz Aldrin wore on the moon will be sold at$34,600.Omega Speedmaster watches have been an important part of space travel since NASA chose them for its moon landing in 1965.Other watches had failed required tests.Omega gave its gold Speedmasters to the astronauts at a dinner in 1969 before the landing.Another less costly type of silver Speedmasters will be sold at$9,650.It carries a picture of Aldrin stepping down from the moon lander.Something for children-as well as adults is the NASA Apollo 11 moon lander set.Made by Lego,it is a group of small pieces to

that people re-heat cooked food completely.Key 4:_19_ When people are finished with eating,they should keep the leftover(吃剩的食物)in a refrigerator below 5and shouldnt store it for too long.At room temperature,about 20,the amount of micro-organisms can increase very quickly.But temperatures above 60or below 5control the growth of micro-organisms._20_ Key 5:Use safe water and raw materials.People
