16、k.C. To popularize the use of PayQuick. D. To illustrate the application of PayQuick.B.Tonight, our family was going out to play under the full moon.My husband Todd and I first started going on full moon walks for ourselves, as we needed these little doses of moonlight to stay happy, though sometime

17、s we had to hike through the forest to find a perfect spot. But after we became parents, we did this for our children. We wanted to show Sierra and Bryce that it was not necessary to travel far from home to have an adventure and learn something new, and that there was much magic in the natural world

18、, available to all.Once we arrived at our location, Sierra and I stood holding hands, waiting to cheer the full moon in its rising a thin sliver of the appealing moon emerged above the ridge of the mountain afar. Soon, more of the moon came out until it turned into a brilliant orange sphere. Todd ex

19、plained to Sierra and Bryce that the moon generates no light, but simply acts like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight back to us. “Does the moons face change?” Bryce asked. I told him that the moon rotates（旋转）around the earth, but does not spin by itself, so the same side of the moon is always facing

20、 the earth. Sierra remarked that the moon looked larger and closer when it was rising. I explained that it is a visual illusion（错觉）because it is so close to the horizon that the moon magically tricks our eyes into comparing it with nearby objects, thus creating the impression of the increased size.M

21、uch of the knowledge that I shared with the kids was learned from my parents. During my childhood, they would take me on educational adventures out in the woods, and as I later found, so did their parents. So every time I go for a full moon walk with my beloved family, I thank those wise educators w

22、ho came before me.To educate, sometimes all it takes is going outdoors and gazing up at the heavens.24. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 refer to?A.

25、themselves.CAs humanity has got richer, animals roles have changed. People need their services less than before.

26、seful. Domestic animals are no longer necessities, but commonly seen companions. Pet-keeping seems to become more and more popular, as a recent survey found that 69% of American households keep at least one pet.The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending mor

27、e and more money on them. No longer are they food-waste-recyclers, fed with the remains that fall from their masters tables. Pet food shelves are full of cuisines tailored to satisfy a range of appetites, including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old, diabetic, or suffer from sensitiv

28、e digestion.In the business, this is called “pet humanization”the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family.

29、 working for humanity in some way, perhaps making people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. New research suggests that dogs have evolved those “cute eyes” to affect human emotions and control them, which works very well. Humans now work very hard to pay for the care of the

30、ir pets. For example, Americans often refer to themselves not as cat owners but as the cats “mommy” or “daddy”. South Koreans go one step further, describing themselves as cat “butlers（管家）”.

34、PetsDHibernation（冬眠）is a classic topic of science fiction. In movies such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, or Passengers, crew members are put into a state of sleep to take year-long journeys to space. Now a new study from Washington University has shown that human hibernation may soon become a real

35、ity.The research team carried out tests on rats animals that do not naturally hibernate. They first identified a group of neurons（神经元）in a deep brain region, which were found to be involved in controlling body temperature during hibernation. They showed that, in mice, these neurons could be stimulat

36、ed using ultrasound（超声波）, which was delivered through a helmet without causing an injury.When receiving the ultrasound, the mice showed a drop in body temperature of about 3, and their heart rates fell by about 47%. When the ultrasound system was switched off, they woke up again. The result was “sur

37、prising and fascinating”, said Hong Chen, a professor who led the work.Researchers are also trying to determine how to harness the power of hibernation to help humans. They believe that it could be key to addressing health conditions like heart disease, and Alzheimers. Furthermore, hibernations abil

38、ity to slow aging, which was observed in bats, could benefit space exploration, enabling longer missions with less food requirements. Research in animals also suggests that bodies of hibernating astronaut s might lose less bone and muscle, making them fit and ready to start challenging exploration s

39、oon after they wake up.By unlocking the secrets of this remarkable process, researchers may uncover ways to improve human health, as well as gain new insights into the natural world. Therefore, the exploration of hibernation is an exciting area that is sure to yield numerous benefits in the years to

40、 come.The scientists now plan to look at how lowered body temperature might affect the cognitive abilities of humans. “Our next experiments will test working memory in monkeys. This is important because while astronaut s physically hibernate as they fly into deep space, their brain still needs to be
