NASA just launched ArtemisII,thefirstcrewedmissionbeyondlow-Earthorbitsince1972.Itwas hard not to feel excited. My feed filled instantly with polished, confident videos ofinfluencersexplainingthemission,loadedwithtermslikeccfree-returntrajectory（轨道）Thecommentsunder their posts were the same: people casually using technical language,noddingalong,addingtheirowntakes.

However, I had questions. I wanted to know more about why NASA changed the reentry trajectoryfor Artemis II after the heat shield （保护物）problems on Artemis I and things like that. But scrolling through my feed, I felt like I was the only person who didnotalreadyhavetheanswers.Thisisafemiliar cycle.Influencersracetopostfirst,surface-levelcontentdominates,andtheaudienceperforms understanding.

Scientistswanttotalktoyou. But they cannot compete withthe volume. A researcherwho postsacareful,accurateexplanationoftheArtemisIIheatshielddecisiongetsafewhundredviews.An

influencer who postsa60-secondsummarywithdramaticmusicandconfidentdeliverygetsmillionsof views. The algorithm （算法）does not reward accuracy - it rewards engagement. And engagement favors certainty, speed, and polish over delicate differences, context, or honesty about what we do notknow.

And that is where the real damage happens, not just to individual conversations, but to somethingdeeper: curiosity. That instinct, the willingness to reveal ignorance, is the most valuable thing a studentor a scientist or anyone can have. It is also the thing that social media is quietlydestroying.

Not everyone can be an expert. We need to build a culture where "I don't know" is a normal thingto say. Where asking a basic question is treated as curiosity, notignorance.Wheretheresponsetosomeone who does not understand is to help them learn, not to make them feel small. And if someonemakes you feel foolish fornotalreadyknowing,remember:Theyprobablylookeditup10minutesago.

24.What does the author notice about influencers? Artemis IIvideos?

A.They spreadwell-checked analyses.B. They gain too much public attention.

C. They challengeexpert explanations.D. They focus on detailed technicalfacts.

25.What distinguishes the author from some other social mediausers?

A.Her devotion tospace research.B.Her hunger for onlinepopularity.

C. Her awarenessofignorance.D.Her preference for expertvideos.

26.What can we infer about the algorithm from paragraph3?

A.It prefers detailedscientific views.B. It urges scientists to post moreoften.

C. It takes down misleading short videos.D. It prioritizes user feedback overcorrectness.

27.What is the author's main purpose in writing thetext?

A.To offer ways of identifying unreliablenews.

B.To review progress of NASA's spaceprogram.

In the offloading condition, one of the memory tasks was supported by a highlynoticeablereminder displayed in bold text, while the other had to be remembered internally.

Swallowing electronic devices is not usually a good idea, but researchers havedevelopedamicrocapsule called GISO that can safely travel through the digestivesystem.Itis aboutthesizeof asmall piece of candy and takes chemical readingsevery20seconds,sendingtheresultstoareceiver worn on the belt. This device can offer early warnings of diseased tissue,and it is now being tested inpatients with digestivediseases.

The digestive system is home to billions of microorganisms, and their chemical activity reflects aperson's health. However, examining the system directlyisdifficult.Traditionalmethodslikeusingatube with a camera are uncomfortable and costly,whichdiscouragesmanypatientsfromundergoingthem. A swallowable camera calledPillCamhasbeenusedforovertwentyyearstoprovideimages,but chemical signals - such as gas levels, acid levels, and signs of damage - are often more important for diagnosis.

Recent advances have focused on detecting these chemical signals. Researchers havedevelopedcapsules that can measuregaseslikeoxygen,hydrogen,andcarbondioxide.Innewerversions,capsules can detect a gas linked to stomach trouble, whichis producedby common bacteriathat causeulcers（溃疡）.Othercapsulescanmeasureammonia,anothersignofthesameinfection,anduse

computer algorithms （算法）to map gas levels with great accuracy. Some of these devices havealready

entered clinical trials and are much more sensitive than traditional breath tests.

Beyond detection, scientists aim to createcapsulesthatcannotonlyidentifydiseasebutalsorelease drugs exactly where they are needed. This would avoid the common problem of drugs affectingthe whole body when only a specific area is damaged. For example, one team is developing a capsulethat can release medicine directly into the digestive system. Another project is exploringelectricalstimulation of the body's signaling systems as a new form of medicaltreatment.

These electronic devices are still in their early stages, but they promise a future where the digestive system can be monitored and treated more cheaply and comfortably than ever before.
