18．For many years，sales of garlic in California had been little because of the much cheaper garlic from China．This year，however，California garlic sales are rising because American government increases tariffs（关税）on Chinese products．
Christopher，a garlic grower in California，is manager of his company and he said，"In a perfect world，we would love to see the tariffs on China．"
Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10% to 25% on May 9，2019，and the reason is that U．S President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese products worth of $200 billion．Since then，Chinese buyers have almost stopped buying soybeans from the United States and American soybean farmers are now getting worried．

19．Earlier this year，China achieved a new milestone（里程碑）in space exploration．On Jan 3，Chang'e 4 became the first space probe（探测器）in history to successfully land on the far side （dark side）of the moon．After a 26-day journey，it touched softly down on a crater．The whole process of landing lasted 12 minutes，which opened a new page in history of mankind's space exploration．
The far side of the moon is the side that we can not see．We don't know much about it．This landing is of great importance．The far side of the moon is an ideal（理想的）place forscientific research．It may have unique minerals（矿物质）and other resources．Scientists can make clearer observations of deep space from there．
Chang'e 4 has sent back photos of the far side of the moon．It is also being used to carry out experiments．The data（数据）collected from these experiments could be used to help us build a base on the moon in the future．The success of the Chang'e 4 mission（任务）is a major achievement for China's space program．
China launched its lunar （月球的）exploration program in 2004，naming it Chang'e．Chinese scientists set three goals--"orbiting（环绕运行），landing and sample（样本）returning"．Chang'e 4 has realized the second goal．The third will be achieved during the Chang'e 5 mission，which is set to take place before the end of this year．
Following the success of the Chang'e missions，Chinese scientists are looking even farther into our solar system（太阳系）．China's first Mars mission is expected to be carried out by 2020．

20．Language is part of our daily lives，no matter where we live in the world．Similarly，music is part of many people's lives，whether it is played on the radio on your drive to work or played in a concert．Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities．
Both have a writing system．
In English we record language using the alphabet，which is a collection of letters．Similarly，we use notes to keep a record of music．Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear．So just as you read English，you can read music．By writing pieces of text or music，we are able to share experiences through time．We can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago，which is really quite exciting．
Both vary with culture．
You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use．In the same way，we know that styles of music are different around the world，giving us the
opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation．
Both share emotion．
How do you know that I am angry？Of course you may be able to see it in my face，but you will know for sure through my words．Similarly，music can sound angry，sad or happy．Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling，and allows us to share that emotion．When you feel happy，you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness．In contrast，you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down．I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions，often

21．When Dr．Karen McComb came to Amboseli Park，her first task was to learn the names of the one hundred or so elephants most often seen．
Scientists working in the park have learned to study elephants by watching them up close．They have a list of almost one thousand elephants．There are records for all of the elephants born since 1972．Amboseli was a good place for Dr．McComb to study animal communications．Elephants were a great subject because their lifestyle depends on communication．
Dr．McComb and her team had learned a lot about elephant communication，but they kept on thinking about one puzzling （困惑的）watch．Some families were better at distinguishing （区别）calls of friends from those of strangers．
What made some families smarter than others？The scientists searched their records for an explanation．To their surprise，there was only one factor （因素）of importance：The "smartest" families always had the oldest grandmothers．A family，as it did in all other activities，waited for some signal （信号）from the grandmother when they heard a strange contact call．And older，more experienced grandmothers were better at telling whether other elephants were strangers or friends just by their calls．
That was an important discovery．It showed how an elephant family depends on the experience of the grandmother．
回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词．
（1）How do scientists working in the park study elephants？
（2）What did Dr．McComb study？
（3）What did Dr．McComb and her team do for an explanation？
