Astronaut Neill Armstrong, the first man on the moon, passed away at 82. He commanded the Apollo
11spacecraft that landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, and has been best remembered by saying “That’s one small
step for man, one giant leap for mankind”.
Armstrong was born Aug 5, 1930, on a farm in western Ohio. He took his first airplane ride at the age of 6 and
developed an interest in aviation (航空) that pushed him to build model airplanes and conduct experiments in a
homemade wind tunnel. As a boy, he took flying lessons and was licensed to fly at 16, before he got his driver’s
license.
Armstrong enrolled in Purdue University to study aircraft engineering but was called to work with the US
Navy in 1949 and flew 78 fight tasks. Armstrong was accepted into NASA’s astronaut class in 1962. He was a
support commander for the Apollo 8 task in 1968. In that flight, Commander Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and
BiIIAnders circled the moon 10 times, and got ready for the moon landing seven months later.
On July 20, 1969, an estimated 600 million people—a fifth of the world’s population watched and listened to
the landing, the largest audience for any single event in history.
Parents crowded with their children in front of the family television. absorbed by what they were witnessing.
Farmers gave up their duties at night, and drivers pulled off the highway and checked into hotels just to see the
moonwalk. Television-less travelers in California ran to their cars to catch the word on the radio. Afterward, people
walked out of their homes and stared at the moon, in awe of what they had just seen. Others watched through
telescopes in hopes of spotting the astronauts.
“I can honestly say-and it’s a big surprise to me that I have never had a dream about being on the moon.” he
once said.
Armstrong married Carol Knight in 1994, and the couple lived quietly in Indian Hill, a Cincinnati suburb. He
had two adult sons from a previous marriage.

Mishra, an Indian-born student at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, was picking up alcohol
bottles after an evening party with friends, when he dropped a bottle. As Mishra swept up the glass, he wondered,
“Where does this go after the bottle is broken?” After researching, Mishra learned that 77% of glass bottles, even
those that are put in a recycling bin, end up in landfills after the glass breaks.
Mishra spent hours learning how to neatly cut and create all sorts of new items from old glass. Then, together
with a few other peers, he founded a start-up called Rescued Glass YVR. The group browsed beach cleanups and
restaurants to gather used glass bottles, which we returned into a variety of platters, candles, glasses, and other items
in their micro factory, When they sell these items in local markets, they got positive feedback, “It turns out that people
are really enjoying it,” said Mishra, “They like the product,”
The student start-up built a name for itself and grew in size. By the end of 2022, it had a team of nearly two
dozen students and had already succeeded in rescuing more than 6, 000 bottles. That’s when Rescued Glass YVR
decided to rebrand and comeback bigger.
The business gave themselves another name-Mosa. Mishra said, “In those house parties the alcohol that we were
drinking was Mosa, The name really helps us when we are thinking about larger conversations. It’s always important
that you remember where you’re coming from and where the process of this entire idea ever started.” In addition to
producing beautiful decor items and saving glass from landfills, Mosa has inspired other Vancouverites to get
involved in making the world a better place.
It is said that glass producing is responsible for 86 million tons of carbon emissions(排放)yearly, in addition to
the garbage glass that ends up in landfills, Mosa is making good use of glass, and inspiring others to do so as well.
All because of a little inspiration after a college party.
8. What caused Mishra to found his start-up?

C. Inspiration Leads to Success D. Create Something From Nothing

The National Health Service (NHS) in England is to pay for 10 people, to whom a “bionic eye” will be implanted
(植入). It is a pioneering technology that can help those who have been blind for years to gain some sight.
Only a small number of people have received surgery in trials so far to equip them to use Argus , which uses
a camera fixed in a pair of glasses and a tiny computer to send signals directly to the nerves (神经) controlling sight.
Those who will get the equipment can currently see nothing more than the difference between daylight and darkness.
The system allows the brain to decode (解读) flashes of light, so that they can learn to see movement.
One of three patients who have had the implant into the retina (视网膜) in trails at Manchester Royal Eye
Hospital is Keith Hayman, 68, from Lancashire, who has five grandchildren. He was blind in his 20s. The disease
causes cells in the retina gradually to stop working and die. Hayman was forced to give up his work. “Having spent
half my life in darkness, I can now tell when my grandchildren run towards me and make out lights,” he said. “I
would be talking to a friend, who might have walked off and I couldn’t tell and kept talking to myself. This doesn’t
happen anymore, because I can tell when they have gone. They may seem like little things, but they make all the
difference to me.”
After the surgery, 10 patients will be carefully followed, to gather data on their progress and assess how much
the bionic eye improves their daily lives. If the results are good, more patients will be likely to receive the treatment
in the future. The “bionic eye” treatment, including surgery, follow-up, equipment and recovery, costs 150,000.
12. What is Argus mainly made up of?
A. A camera, a pair of glasses and a bionic eye.
B. The nerves, a pair of glasses and some signals.
C. A camera, a pair of glasses and a tiny computer.
D. A new retina, a flash light and a tiny computer.
13. What does the author want to show by using the example of Hayman?
A. Hayman has become a normal person.
B. The retina is necessary for one to see well.
C. Blind people are eager to have a bionic eye.
D. The technology is of great importance to blind people.
14. Why will the 10 blind patients be carefully followed?
A. They will be in very poor health after the surgery.
B. They won’t be used to the bionic eye for some time.
C. The exact result of the treatment needs to be known.
D. The bionic eye will be improved according to the data.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. A Failure in Treating the Blind People
B. 10 Blind Patients Will Be Fitted with a Bionic Eye
C. Blind People’s Daily Lives Improved with a Bionic Eye
D. The NHS in England Cares Much about the Blind People
