• 2．When David Carter started to study art at The University of Texas （UT）at Austin in 1971，he had big dreams of becoming an artist or a writer.But his study came to a stop at 23 after he hurt his hand in an unpleasant event.He developed schizophrenia（精神分裂症）later and spent many years without a home.
     Carter liked to spend time around UT，because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer.After running into Carter many times，UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for a project for the Daily Texan，the student newspaper of UT.
     "I interviewed him on Austin's homeless problems.After I heard his story，we kept in touch and really became friends.I learned he wanted to get back to UT，so I decided to help him，" said Chandler. "He had got 87 hours，very close to a degree.Now，with changing degree requirements，he only has 64 hours to go."
     With the help of Chandler，who worked with the university office，Carter was assigned an adviser by UT's College of Fine Arts. "It's the greatest gift I've ever received，" Carter said. "He did what had to be done to get me back to school，and I couldn't have done it without him."
     After seeing a magazine article about Carter，a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees（学费）without telling Chandler his name.
     Doug Dempster，dean of the College of Fine Arts，said in a statement，"David Carter's decision to complete his degree is a testament（证明） to finishing well what was started，and stopped，even many years earlier.We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily.We're going to help him through his remaining course work."

• 3．Humans have been living and working on the space station for 20 years.Their meals are packaged，though sometimes astronauts receive fresh treats from resupply missions.The longer that packaged food is stored，the more it loses nutrients like vitamin C and vitamin K.
     Astronauts have successfully grown 10 different crops on the space station since 2015 and had the chance to sample each one.The International Space Station hosted a party for astronauts on Friday as they celebrated the harvest of the first Chili（辣椒）grown in space.The crew finally had a chance to taste the peppers after initially kicking off the plant experiment on the space station in July.
     Plant Habitat-04 is one of the most complex plant experiments on the orbiting laboratory to date because peppers take much longer to grow than the previous experiment plants.After growing for four months，the peppers were harvested on Friday.
     Peppers provide a great source of vitamin C，as well as other key nutrients.Pepper plants self-pollinate，so they are easy to grow，and they are a pick-and-eat crop that doesn't have to be cooked.They are also safe to eat raw.
     A side effect of life in zero gravity is that astronauts often lose some of their taste and smell，so spicy or well-seasoned foods are a favorite.Adding fresh greens or peppers to the menu allows astronauts to liven up their regular meals.But growing and tending to the plants can also produce other benefits.
     Astronauts have described the joy from seeing-as well as smelling and caring for-leafy green plants on the space station that remind them of Earth.
     "Growing colorful vegetables in space can have long-term benefits for physical and psychological health，" said Matt Romeyn，principal investigator for the experiment." We are discovering that growing plants and vegetables with colors and smells helps to improve astronauts' well-being."
  
  （1）What does underlined "kicking off" in the 2nd paragraph mean？

  
  A．Launch.
  B．Complete.
  C．Quit.
  D．Announce.
  （2）What makes Plant Habitat-04 one of the most complex plant experiments？

  
  A．The technology.
  B．Growing process.
  C．The varieties of plants.
  D．Growing time required.
  （3）Why are peppers added to the menu for astronauts？

  
  A．They are delicious.
  B．They restore their appetite.
