10、n though there are times when she misses her handheld smart phone, she plans to go on living without it even after the challenge ends, because she really doesnt want to go back to days when she abused it, wasted time, stayed up all hours of the night on it, and was obsessed with social media.But not

17、cnandra acuminate （喜树） is a rare tree native to New Caledonia that has the rare ability to collect heavy metals like nickel （镍） from the ground. The liquid circulated in its body is blue-green and reportedly contains up to 25% nickel.In general, trees and heavy metals like nickel dont really go well
18、 together. But Pycnandra acuminata make them live together. And thats what makes Pycnandra acuminata so special. It sucks out normally poisonous levels of heavy metals from the soil and store them in its trunk, leaves and seeds.The evolution of Pycnandra acuminate is believed to have occurred over m
19、illions of years, but scientists have yet to identify a universal principle of nickel intake and storage. The reason why such trees have formed the way of absorbing metals is also up for debate.The most popular theory states that the concentration of nickel protects such trees from leaf-chewing inse
20、cts. And studies have shown that nickel accumulated by these trees indeed harms many insects though some have developed a high tolerance to it. Another theory says nickel has effects of resisting bacteria, which protects the trees from various diseases. However, these theories are all just theories.
21、One thing that has been proven is the ability of Pycnandra acurninata to clean the soil with poisonous materials caused by human activity. Theres also clear potential for collecting heavy materials like nickel in these kinds of soils that will bring a few profits by conventional ways of mining. Peop
22、le can collect minerals contained in such soils from the blue-green trees。Unfortunately, Pycnandra acuminata is is recently in a bad situation. Human activity in forests of New Caledonia has made Pycnandra acuminata in danger. Consequently, probably fewer than several hundred trees of this kind have
23、 remained as a result of the reduction of our forests.8What do we know about Pycnandra acuminata?AIt has a blue-green color due to metals collected.BIt is able to collect some heavy metals from the ground.CIt sucks out a great deal of poisonous underground water.DIt tends to grow in the soil with pl

26、Bacteria and disease. BHealth and life.CFashion and entertainment. DMan and nature.Fancy your own satellite? Arizona State University is working towards making this a reality with its SunCube FemtoSat project. Smaller than a standard CubeSat, the low-cast student-designed spacecraft is aimed at prov
27、iding greater access to space for scientists and hobbyists alike.Assistant professor Jekan Thanga and a team of students have been developing the SunCube FemtoSat for the past two years. The small 333cm cube weighs in at just 35g and a longer （39cm, 100g） model has also been designed, which includes
28、 storage space.Each SunCube FemtoSat has its own communication, data collection and propulsion （推进） systems and is powered by solar panels. It is made of off-the-shelf parts that are available in shops, and the energy-efficient solar panels are cut from scrap （碎片）, which makes it save energy, sold a
29、t a discount by manufacturers. “With a spacecraft of this size, any university can do it,” says Thanga. “Thats part of our major goalspace discovery for everybody.”The team says that while launching your own satellite would usually cost between US $ 60,000-70,000 per kilo, it would only cost $ 1,000
30、 to send a SunCube FemtoSat to the International Space Station, and $ 3,000 to send it into low earth orbit. Leaving the earths gravity would cost an estimated $ 27,000.The FemtoSat would be packed with a “jack in the box” style system that matches standard CubeSat sizes （around 10 cubic cm）, simpli
31、fying the process of getting the tiny satellite into orbit. NASA has sent 30 CubeSats into space over the last years, with another 50 awaiting launch.Thanga and his staff view the FemtoSat as a starting point for scientists and students, and even hope the device could be bought on the website like Amazon one day. Thanga imagines developing four main applications for the device, including hands-on testing experiences for students, and artificial gravity experiments. In addition, groups of SunCube FemtoSats could eventually be able to do the job o
