Four days after landing,a tiny cotton shoot showed that they do.-|||-Night has now fallen on the far side of the moon;sunlight will not return until the start of February.As a result,-|||-the cotton shoots died.Besides the darkness,the plants can`t stand the cold(it can drop to -170℃on the moon at-|||-night).However,the experiment is a success,since it has proved that it is possible for plants to grow in space.-|||-() 1.The text is mainly about __ .-|||-A.another success for Chang`e 4 B.Chang`e 4 moon lander-|||-C.tiny seeds in the soil D.the steps of an experiment-|||-() 2.Which of the following is TRUE about Chang`e 4?-|||-A.It carried a mini-garden.
