Crew members (全体工作人员) of the Shenzhou XIII mission return to Earth

　　After orbiting (轨道) Earth for six months, the three crew members of China's Shenzhou XIII mission departed from the Tiangong space station and returned to the mother planet on Saturday morning, finishing the nation's longest manned spaceflight. (载人航天飞行). Wang Yaping flied the mission (任务, 使命) as the first female astronaut to enter China's space station.
　　Five, four, three, two, one, blast off (发射升空)! At 00:23 on Oct 16, 2022, the Shenzhou XIII spacecraft (1)      into the sky from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu. Three Chinese astronauts — Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu -set off for the Tiangong space station.

　　The Shenzhou XIII astronauts have a wide range of assignments (任务), such as doing medical (7)      , setting up robotic (机械的) arms and checking the devices (设备)inside the station. They have performed (执行)two space walks to work outside the station-one was on Nov. 7, with Wang becoming China's first female space walker, while the other was on Dec 26.
　　The mission is a valuable (有价值的) opportunity for China's science community (团体)(8)      it allows the astronauts to carry out in-orbit experiments that take a lot of time and manual work, Pang Zhihao, a former analyst (分析师) at the China Academy of Space Technology, told China Daily.
　　The Shenzhou XIII mission has fueled (点燃)(9)      passion for space exploration as well. On Dec 9, the astronauts gave a science lecture to millions of students on Earth. They showed the kids a glimpse (一瞥) of their space life and did some fun science experiments. For example, Wang made a water ball to show that water in space (10)      different from that on Earth. It will not flow downward(向下)if you try to pour it into a cup.
　　Denis Simon, executive(执行的)director of the Center for Innovation Policy at Duke University in the US, told Xinhua that China's success in space continues to be impressive"China is now well on its(11)      to being a leader in space expiration " he said.

12．　　China has named its first five national parks-Sanjiangyuan National Park, Wuyi Mountain National Park, Giant Panda National Park, Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park and Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park. They cover a land area of more than 230,000 square kilometers and protect nearly 30 percent of the country's key wildlife species (物种).
　　Sanjiangyuan area is an important source of freshwater resources in China. More than 60-billion-cubic-meter clean water is sent dowstream each year, and the volume has increased in recent years.
　　Wuyi Mountain National Park is known as "the kingdom of snakes", "the world of insects", "the heaven for birds", and "the key to the study of Asian amphibians and reptiles", Wuyi Mountain National Park has 558 kinds of wild vertebrates, 33. 27 percent of the types in Fujian province.

13．　　With the development of technology and the internet, there is a new trend in reading-audiobooks. More people are choosing to listen to audiobooks these days, according to this year's national reading report. The report was released by the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication (CAPP). It shows that audiobooks have become quite popular among most readers. One in three adults listen to audiobooks. They mainly use popular audio sharing platforms (平台) like Ximalaya. Kids have also been a main driver in the development of audiobooks. Ximalaya noted that the value of audiobook purchases made by those aged 13 to 18 in 2018 increased by 330 percent over that of 2017, the Beijing Evening News reported.
　　In addition, around 26. 8 percent of children under 8 years old listen to audiobooks. Most of them listen at least once a week. Their favorite categories are "stories for kids" and "poetry reading".
　　One of the reasons audiobooks have taken off is that people want to get more use out of their free time, China News Service reported. Whether they're at the gym, on a bus, or in bed, people can enjoy reading without a heavy paper book or e-reader. Faster internet speeds mean one can download a whole book in just seconds, according to Wei Yushan, director of CAPP.
　　Audio app content designers have invited broadcasters (播音员) and production (制作) groups to join in content production. Both the quality and number of audiobooks being offered have greatly improved. More people can find the audiobooks they like the most, the report says.

14．　　There are lots of dangerous and terrible insects in Northeastern India, but the tree-bees are the most terrible. They are killers. Unlike most bees which will sting (叮咬) you only if they are disturbed (打扰), tree-bees will attack (攻击) you in thousands for no reason. And they will chase (追赶) you for your life.
　　Walking along a dusty road while I was on holiday there last year. I found myself, without the least warning, the centre of such an attack. The air above me suddenly became thick with bees. Though it was hot, I went cold all over. Until then I had never heard of Indian tree﹣bees, but I had recently seen a film called "The Angry Swarm", which was about killer-bees.
　　I began running to the village about half a mile away, but I was soon covered from head to foot with bees. I drove them away with my hands, only to make room for others. Each time I opened my mouth for breath, more bees entered my mouth, until it was stung to twice its usual size and I could hardly breathe.
　　When I reached the village, I found some workers building a house. I ran towards them for help. But as soon as the workers saw the bees with me, they ran for safety at top speed.
　　Soon my eyes had completely closed. I fell into a pile of brick dust. I pushed myself wildly down into it until my head and shoulders were covered. And then I tried hard to get out of the dust, the angry bees made a new attack on me. I was tired out and ran weakly about in circles. Soon I lost my consciousness (意识).
　　Later I learned that two quick﹣minded villages ran to a pile of dry grass and quickly surrounded (包围) me with a thick wall of fire and smoke until the bees were driven away. They stayed with me, taking stings out of my body for the next three hours until a doctor came and gave me further treatment.

15．　　The American company Otherlab has built a new drone (无人机) which the company calls "Sky Machine".
　　Compared with other unmanned aircraft (无人机), the drone is very different. It is made almost completely out of cardboard. It can be packed with materials and sealed (密封) up with tape.
　　The drone looks like a big paper airplane that we used to make as kids. But this light flyer is not a toy, it was designed to be dropped from airplanes. Hundreds of drones could be launched at once and then they are guided to where they are supposed to go to complete deliveries (递送) to different places over an area covering hundreds of kilometers.
　　The company says it can travel about 150 kilometers at speeds up to 88 kilometers an hour. Now it can carry materials weighing up to one kilogram, but future ones are expected to carry heavier loads (负荷).
　　One of the drone's main advantages is that it does not have a heavy motor or large battery. This provides more room for materials and makes the drone cost less to build and work.
　　The technology that guides the drone can make it land within 10 meters of its target, according to Otherlab. And once the drone completes its delivery, ___△___ and the cardboard material will decompose (分解) within a few months.
　　Otherlab says the drones can also be reused. Otherlab has received money from the U. S. Department of Defense to carry out research on the drones. The U. S. military has a need for delivery drones. But the delivery drones they usually use can be stolen and studied by others if found after use. Before they can truly disappear, the electronic materials inside the drones must also somehow disappear. Otherlab's Sky Machine is an attempt to fill that need. Researchers are still working on ways to get the technology itself to selfdestruct (自毁).
