If you grew up watching the kid's television channel Nickelodeon，you will probably understand that there is nothing greater than enjoying its special bright green slime（水晶泥）.The week of May 11，astronauts（宇航員） aboard the International Space Station（ISS） joined the slime.
   Nickelodeon sent two kilos of its green slime into space in the summer of 2019.The Slime in Space project's idea was to create an educational trip for teachers to use in class.The green slime was also used to guide astronauts through a series of experiments that were designed to learn more about how slime acts in microgravity.
   Researchers from Portland State University（PSU）were excited to design the experiments for the project.Mark Weislogel and his partner designed eight shows for NASA astronauts and European Space Agency astronaut aboard to perform.
   If you're wondering what we could hope to learn from sending slime into space，the answer lies in its very name.Slime is slimy.This is because it is a liquid that is thicker than liquids like water.This makes slime act in unexpected ways in the microgravity of the ISS.Improving our understanding of how thicker liquids act in space may help us improve the design of systems that something were designed with Earth's gravity in mind.
   "Interestingly，we consider liquid on Earth as that takes the shape of its container，" Koch tells CNN. "Water just turns into a ball in microgravity，so we've had to have a new understanding of different kinds of matter in space.This experiment shows how microgravity can help us understand things on Earth，especially the things we take for granted."

  • 3．We all know that regular exercise is good for us．In recent years we've been told to aim to walk 10，000 steps a day to remain healthy，although other advice to do three 10-minute walks a day is thought to be even more effective．But the latest piece of research might put a spring in your step if you're someone who walks at a fast pace．That's because，according to scientists，the speed at which people walk in their 40s is a sign of how much their brains，as well as their bodies，are ageing．
       The BBC's Philippa Roxby writes that tests on 1，000 people from New Zealand born in the 1970s found that slower walkers tended to show signs of "accelerated ageing"．Their lungs，teeth and immune systems were in worse shape than those who walked faster．And to add insult to injury，the study found not only did slower walkers' bodies age more quickly，their faces looked older and they had smaller brains．Professor Terrie，lead author of the study，told the BBC： "It found that a slow walk is a problem sign decades before old age．"
       This might be seen as a wake-up call for people with a slower pace who might feel it's time to work out and get fitter．But it might be too late；researchers say they were able to predict the walking speed of 45-year-olds using the results of intelligence，language and motor skills tests from when they were aged three．They also suggest that even in early life，there are signs showing which people will go on to have a healthier life．
       So，what's the point of knowing that a slower walking pace might mean a smaller brain？Well，researchers say measuring walking speed at a younger age，and understanding what this might mean，could be a way of testing treatments to slow human ageing．This might help us make lifestyle changes while we're still young and healthy．Any steps we can take to prolong a good mental and physical state is a no brainer!

    （1）What is the text mainly about？

    A．Walking and health．
    B．Slow walking and ageing．
    C．The way of slowing ageing．
    D．The standard walking pace．
    （2）What does the latest research show？

    A．Walking 10，000 steps a day helps keep fit．
    B．A slower walker is healthier than a faster walker．
    C．Slower walkers are easy to have slower brains．
    D．Ageing signs of slow walkers arise earlier than fast walkers．
    （3）What does the underlined words "wake-up call" refer to in paragraph 3？

    A．Challenge．
    B．Potential．
    C．Reminder．
    D．Solution．
    （4）What can we infer from the last paragraph？

    A．Testing walking speed before old age makes sense．
    B．It's important to keep fit both physically and mentally．
    C．Walking pace is connected with health and ageing．
    D．Walking speed at a young age determines one's longevity．
