Hundreds of millions of people watched on television on July 20, 1969, when American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to land on the moon. Back then, businesses sold many products connected to the event and many such products are now on sales again — in celebration of the moon landing’s 50th anniversary.
A limited number of Omega’s gold Speedmaster watches — the same kind that Buzz Aldrin wore on the moon — will be sold at $34,600. Omega Speedmaster watches have been an important part of space travel since NASA chose them for its moon landing in 1965. Other watches had failed required tests. Omega gave its gold Speedmasters to the astronauts at a dinner in 1969 before the landing. Another less costly type of silver Speedmasters will be sold at $ 9,650. It carries a picture of Aldrin stepping down from the moon lander.
Something for children-as well as adults — is the NASA Apollo 11 moon lander set. Made by Lego, it is a group of small pieces to put together to make a model of the moon lander.
Other things for sale include the anti-gravity Fisher Space Pens,developed just for the Apollo 11 mission. They work even when writing upside down. Now Fisher Space Pen Company has a limited-edition pen for sale at anout-of this-worldprice: $700, with real material from the Apollo 11 spacecraft.
Back in 1969, companies were quick to show their Apollo 11 connections with media and advertisements. The food company Stouffer’s made sure consumers knew it provided food for Apollo 11 astronauts once they returned to Earth. It started the ad campaign “Everybody who’s been to the moon is eating Stouffer’s”. Fifty years later, the company is celebrating with a media campaign to share some recipes from 1969.
Marketing experts David Meerman Scott says, “Since 1972,we’ve gone around and around the earth many times, and it is not interesting to people any more. I’m not sure whether they can accept such crazy prices. Now NASA has had plans to go to Mars in the 2030s and marketing efforts for a NASA Mars mission should be in development.”

The headmaster of a primary school showed on television to support her idea that parents should “dress appropriately in daywear” when they drop off and pick up their kids from school.
Kate Chisholm, head teacher atSkerneParkAcademyin Darlington, theU.K., sent a letter home asking parents to set a better example for their children.
“I have noticed there has been an increasing tendency for parents to drop off and pick up their kids from school while still wearing their pajamas (睡衣),” Chisholm wrote.“Could I please ask that when you are sending your children, you take the time to dress appropriately in daywear that is suitable for the weather conditions?”
Kate Chisholm wants parents at her school to dress nicer. She appeared on British television station ITV to further explain her decision, saying she had started noticing the pajama trend had been picked up by “30 or 40” parents at school.
Despite her determination to make school a nicer place to be, Chisholm admits that she can't demand that parents dress up-such as Karen Routh, 49, who wore pajamas to drop off her 8-ycar-old daughter Holly, because she was running late and didn't feel well.
“I imagine there might be some people who keep up wearing pajamas for the next six months to prove a point,” Chisholm said. “I can't force people to get dressed but I will keep sending letters home in the hope that they decide to put on a pair of jeans.”
Wearing pajamas in public has also become a hot issue for some schools and States in theU.S.In 2015, aFloridaschool board member insisted on a dress rule for parents who showed up in the school in sleepwear.
8. The headmaster asks parents to pay attention to ______.
A. the way they dress
B. the relations with teachers
C. the way they treat their kids
D. the clothes they buy for their kids
9. How does Chisholm try to change this situation?
A. Asking kids to set examples.
B. Keeping them out of school.
C. Sending letters to persuade them.
D. Forcing them to change by laws.
10. Why did Kate Chisholm appear on ITV?
A. She wanted to force Karen to dress properly.
B. Parents spent less time on their clothes.
C. She wanted to explain her decision about the parents' dress.
D. She wanted to tell us more and more parents wear pajamas to school.
11. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.
A. strict laws should be passed to stop pajamas
B. aFloridaschool will force parents to wear jeans
C. people wearing pajamas in public will be punished
D. more and more people are concerned about dressing properly in public
D
In May this year, as part of our 150th anniversary, we asked readers aged between18 and 25 to enter an essay competition. The task was to tell us, in no more than 1,000 words, what scientific advance they would most like to see in their lifetimes, and why it mattered to them.
The response was phenomenal: we received 661 entries. Some entrants hoped that science would make their lifetimes much longer than they can currently expect. Many looked forward to work that will end climate change. Others wanted to see advances in our understanding of human history, crop growth, space exploration, and medical technologies. The ideas were inspiring.
The winner is a compelling essay by Yasmin Ali, a PhD student at the University of Nottingham, UK. Ali submitted a piece on Beethoven, her brother’s hearing loss and the science which she hoped would one day cure it. It stood out to the judges as a reminder of why many scientists do research: to make the world better tomorrow than it is today.
All essays were judged by a group of Nature editors. The top ten submissions were then ranked by three members of a separate judging group: Magdalena Skipper, editor-in-chief of Nature; Faith Osier, a researcher; and Jess Wade, a physicist. All submissions were kept anonymous throughout the process.
We also selected two runners-up(非冠军的获奖者).Physicist Robert Schittkoat Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, proposes that nuclear fusion(核聚变) could offer a solution to the climate crisis, in a piece that effortlessly mixes grand ambition with gentle humour. And chemist Matthew Zajac at the University of Chicagoin Illinois wrote a powerful personal account of why he wants to see advances in the field of same-sex reproduction.
The results show that today’s young scientists have a wealth of ideas, talent and conviction that research can transform their world. We look forward to seeing what they do next.
12. What’s the essay competition about?
A. The scientific expectation.
B. The fantastic scientific ideas.
C. The dreams of future life.
D. The celebration of anniversary.
13. Why Yasmin Ali was chosen the winner?
A. She showed great talent in music.
B. She found the cure for the loss of hearing.
C. She appealed for people to care about hearing loss problem.
D. She reminded people to remember the meaning of science development.
14. What can we learn about the result of the essay competition?
A. Robert Schittko won the second place.
B. There were two winners in the essay competition.
C. Matthew Zajac presented his view of same-sex reproduction.
D. The two runners-up were selected for the same field they chose.
15. What isthe author’s attitude to the competitors’ ideas about science expectations?
A. Doubtful.
B. Favorable.
C. Impossible.
D. Ignorant.

Dear Tom,
I’d like to share my travel experience with you. During this summer holiday, my parents and me went on a trip
to the capital city of Tibet, Lhasa, that is also the political, economic and cultural centre of the region.
We first visit the Potala Palace originally built in the 7thcentury. But then, we appreciated a rich collection of cultural treasures in Tibet Museum where we learned some useful historical knowledges about Tibet. During those days, we were all surprising by the natural scenery there, which made us to feel peaceful and quiet. I strong suggest that you travel to Tibet with me next time and I’m sure you will have wonderful time.
Looking forward to meet you soon.
Yours,
