26、eating virtual tours for its 1 current and permanent exhibitions, uploading audio of previous educational courses and providing more social media posts to detail the star items in its collection. It has gone a further step by launching an exhibition entirely online with the help of advanced technolo

27、gy such as 3D modeling and 5G. The exhibition, titled Dongfanghong Forever, charts the progress China has made in aerospace over half a century. The show opened on April 24, which is marked as the countrys Space Day, when the satellite Dongfanghong 1 was launched in 1970. The success of Dongfanghong

28、 1 entering its present orbit not only registered the countrys first steps in exploring outer space but the event also made China the fifth country in the world to develop a satellite on its own and put it in space. The online exhibition is expected to run for a long time, and people can visit it on

29、 the museums website at any time. It is the first such virtual show the museum has staged. It reviews “three critical moments in the countrys space explorationthe development of 1 56.

31、ld you choose time over money, or money over time? This is one of those so-called dilemmas of happiness that isnt really a dilemma at all, because the answer is so painfully obvious. Money, after all, is just an instrument for obtaining other things, including timewhile time is all weve got. And to

32、make matters worse, you cant save it up. And yet we do choose money over time, again and again, even when basic material well- being doesnt demand it. Partly, no doubt, thats because even well-off people fear future poverty. But its also because the time/money trade-off rarely presents itself in sim

33、ple ways. Suppose youre offered a better-paid job that requires a longer commute (more money in return for less time); but then again, that extra cash could lead to more or better time in future, in the form of nicer holidays, or a more secure retirement. Which choice prioritizes time, and which mon

34、ey? Its hard to say. Thankfully, a new study throws a little light on the matter. The researchers surveyed more than 4,000 Americans to determine whether they valued time or money more, and how happy they were. A clear majority preferred moneybut those who valued time were happier. Older people, mar

35、ried people and parents were more likely to value time, which makes sense: older people have less time left, while those with spouses and kids probably either value time with them, or feel they steal all their time. Or both. Dongfanghong 1, the liftoff of Chinas first manned spacecraft, Shenzhou V,

36、in 2003 and the landing of the Change 4 lunar probe in 2019”. The exhibition gives a view of Dongfanghong 1 orbiting in the form of digital simulation (模拟). Viewers can also watch television interviews of scientists involved in the mission and documentary footage filmed in 1970, as well as hear Dong

37、fanghong (The East is Red), a song popular in China hailing Mao Zedong, played by the satellite. The exhibition will motivate more people to engage in the countrys ambitious course of space exploration. 1 The crucial finding here is that its not having more time that makes you happier, but valuing i

38、t more. Economists continue to argue about whether money buys happinessbut few doubt that being comfortably off is more pleasant than struggling to make ends meet. This study makes a different point: it implies that even if youre scraping by (勉强维持), and thus forced to focus on money, youll be happie

39、r if deep down you know its time thats most important. It also contains ironic ( 讽 刺 的 ) good news for those of us who feel basically secure, 1 financially, but horribly pushed for time. If you strongly wish you had more time, as I do, who could accuse you of not valuing it? At least my eagerness fo

40、r more time shows that my priorities are in order, and maybe that means Ill enjoy any spare time I do get. We talk about scarce time like its a bad thing. But scarcity is what makes us treat things as precious, too. 58. The example in Paragraph 2 suggests that . A. money can be made at the expense o

41、f time B. the time/money trade-off is a complicated issue C. money is a tool for obtaining material well-being D. circumstances force one to choose money over time 59. We can know from the findings of the study that . A. valuing time more makes people happier B. parents regret the time spent on thei

42、r kids C. people wont value time until theyre rich D. a comfortable life is superior to more time 60. Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage? A. What you should spend time on B. What you should trade money for C. Why you need to value money, not time D. Why you need to count

43、time, not money C The brain has a powerful ability to remember and connect events separated in time. And now, in that new study in mice published in Neuron, scientists at Columbias Zuckerman Institute have cast light on how the brain can form lasting links. The hippocampusa small, seahorse-shaped re

44、gion buried deep in the brainis an important headquarters for learning and memory. Previous experiments in mice showed that disruption ( 中 断 ) to the hippocampus leaves the animals with trouble learning to associate two events separated by tens of seconds. “The traditional view has been that cells i

45、n the hippocampus keep up a level of continuous activity to associate such events,” said Dr. Ahmed, co-first author of the study. “Turning these cells off would thus disrupt learning.” To test this view, the researchers imaged parts of the hippocampus of mice as the animals were exposed to two diffe

46、rent stimuli (刺激物): a neutral (神经的) sound followed by a small but unpleasant puff of air. A fifteen-second delay separated the two events. The scientists repeated this experiment across several trials. Over time, the mice learned to associate the sound with the soon- 1 to-follow puff of air. Using a

47、dvanced microscopy, they recorded the activity of thousands of neurons (神经元) , a type of brain cell, in the animals hippocampus over the course of each trial for many days. “We expected to see continuous neural activity that lasted during the fifteen-second gap, an indication of the hippocampus at w

48、ork linking the auditory sound and the air puff,” said computational neuroscientist Stefano Fusi, PhD. “But when we began to analyze the data, we saw no such activity.” Instead, the neural activity recorded during the fifteen-second time gap was sparse (稀少的). Only a small number of neurons worked, a

49、nd they did so seemingly at random. To understand activity, they had to shift the way they analyzed data and use tools designed to 1 make sense of random processes. Finally, the researchers discovered a complex pattern in the randomness: a style of mental computing that seems to be a remarkably efficient way that neurons store information. “We were happy to see that the brain doesnt maintain ongoing activity over all these seconds because thats not the most efficient way to store i
