was a brave undertaking：to complete orbiting，landing and roving in one single mission. It is that can﹣do spirit of self﹣reliance（自力更生） that has played a key role in China's scientific and technological development in recent decades despite some foreign countries' attempts to prevent its progress.China made its early breakthroughs in rocket and space technologies with its own scientists，engineers and scientific workers starting from the 1960s under very difficult conditions when the country remained largely a backward agricultural country and faced foreign blocks of technology and materials.

A new study，published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology，found that communication interactions that included voice created stronger social relationships than communication through typing.
In the study，researchers conducted various experiments.In the first one，they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it'd be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other.Although people expected that a phone call would be more awkward
\"People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone compared with email，and they didn't feel more awkward，\" said study co﹣author Amit Kumar.

How to Eat Healthy on a Budget
Minding your budget while eating the foods that offer you nutrition takes a little planning — but it's possible.
Be brave to be budget﹣conscious（有预算意识的）
Some people are self﹣conscious about not being able to afford fancy brands of healthy food.It's fine if you can afford it.But there's no shame in knowing your budget and living within your means.（1） After all，healthy eating exists at every price point.It doesn't mean that you're not healthy.
Be aware of buzzwords（时髦术语） on the package
（2） These descriptions may be useful to some customers with special needs.But 第6页（共29页）
they're also marketing terms that can paint an inaccurate picture that some foods are much healthier than others.Organic is fine if that's what you want to buy，but for someone who is budget﹣conscious，that's not necessary.
If you shop based on labels alone，it's easier to end up paying more but not necessarily eating any healthier. （3） Instead，figure out what nutrients you need and look for them inside the package.
Plan ahead and make a list
Most dietitians will tell you not to go to the grocery store while you're hungry.But you also shouldn't go without a list.
When you shop without a plan，it's really easy to buy more food than you need，or purchase ingredients you already have（4） Developing a routine to eat healthy and maintain a budget will be easier if you come to the store with an idea of what you're getting and generally how much it will cost.
Once you start writing things down，especially the foods that you're rebuying constantly...you can kind of see where your money is going to be at the supermarket.So a list doesn't just help you plan.（5）
A.Plus，you'll unavoidably forget things you do need.
B.Look for canned or frozen foods because they are much cheaper. C.You should have the courage to say goodbye to that embarrassment. D.Therefore，don't be tricked by trendy words and phrases on the package. E.Many healthy food products are labeled as organic，low sugar and low fat. F.Anyone who tries to tell you something different is probably selling something. G.It also lets you keep track of what you're eating and how much you're spending.

\"People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone compared with email，and they didn't feel more awkward，\" said study co﹣author Amit Kumar.
In another experiment，the researchers had strangers connect by either texting，talking over video chat
Sabrina Romanoff，a Harvard psychologist，says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can \"respond to information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person\".However，texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. \"A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the real effects of the message，\" she explains. \"Each party is more present，able to understand the meaning behind the content without thinking over the endless possible meanings behind words.\"
（1）Which is the best for building closer connections according to the new study？ A.An email.
第18页（共29页）

（2）What did the participants in the first experiment do？ D A.They made predictions on the others' intentions. B.They made random phone calls to some strangers. C.They imagined the joy of hearing someone's voice. D.They predicted a phone call would be embarrassing.

（4）A.标题归纳题。根据第一段\"But according to science，you should call them instead of texting.（但科学表明，你应该给他们打电话而不是发短信，published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology，与打字交流相比。）\"可知，有声音的交流能建立更强的社会关系。A.You Call of 。B.Technology More 。C.Communicate Your Friends.与你的老朋友交流 Communication Time﹣saving.语音通信节省时间，适合作为文章标题。 【点评】阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点。

How to Eat Healthy on a Budget
Minding your budget while eating the foods that offer you nutrition takes a little planning — but it's possible.
Be brave to be budget﹣conscious（有预算意识的）
Some people are self﹣conscious about not being able to afford fancy brands of healthy food.It's fine if you can afford it.But there's no shame in knowing your budget and living within your means.（1） C After all，healthy eating exists at every price point.It doesn't mean that you're not healthy.
Be aware of buzzwords（时髦术语） on the package
（2） E These descriptions may be useful to some customers with special needs.But they're also marketing terms that can paint an inaccurate picture that some foods are much healthier than others.Organic is fine if that's what you want to buy，but for someone who is budget﹣conscious，that's not necessary.
If you shop based on labels alone，it's easier to end up paying more but not necessarily eating any healthier. （3） D Instead，figure out what nutrients you need and look for them inside the package.

Plan ahead and make a list
Most dietitians will tell you not to go to the grocery store while you're hungry.But you also shouldn't go without a list.

Once you start writing things down，especially the foods that you're rebuying constantly...you can kind of see where your money is going to be at the supermarket.So a list doesn't just help you plan.（5） G
A.Plus，you'll unavoidably forget things you do need.
B.Look for canned or frozen foods because they are much cheaper. C.You should have the courage to say goodbye to that embarrassment. D.Therefore，don't be tricked by trendy words and phrases on the package. E.Many healthy food products are labeled as organic，low sugar and low fat. F.Anyone who tries to tell you something different is probably selling something. G.It also lets you keep track of what you're eating and how much you're spending.
