19、most probably read this article?AReading FunBTeenagers VoicesCLearning DiscoveryDScience StoriesOn July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon.The spacesuit Armstrong wore on his lunar journey has become a symbol of courage and human achievement. In 1971, the Smithsonia
20、ns National Air and Space Museum(NASM), in Washington, DC, got Armstrongs suit. It stood proudly on show for visitors, until there were changes in the suits appearance. “Over time, the suit started to show signs of deterioration,” Lisa Young said. Young works at NASM and her job is to preserve(维护)hi
21、storical and cultural objects.“Plastics are difficult to preserve,” Young said. They usually degrade(降解)over time. Neoprene is one type of plastics in Armstrongs suit. It can turn hard but its easy to break into tiny pieces. This would badly damage the spacesuit. Looking for new ways to preserve thi
22、s historical treasure, NASM took it away from show in 2006.What causes plastics to degrade in the first place? “Many things,” Odile Madden, a scientist in California said. She explained that sunlight, water, wetness, and dust could cause plastics to degrade. “Some plastics will break down no matter
23、what we do,” Madden said.Yet history can still be saved. Scientists have found that storing plastics in cooler temperatures, with lower wetness levels, can slow down degradation. According to Young, Armstrongs suit is now in storage at a temperature of 17.2C and a lower relative wetness of 30%. Thes
24、e conditions will be kept when Armstrongs suit returns to a museum show for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.Plastic degradation has an effect on the art, too.

Georgina Rayner, another scientist at Harvard Art Museums, explained, “The artworks wooden box produces an acidic(酸的)gas that destro
26、ys plastics. This makes the degradation faster.” But Rayner and her partners said, “Plastics are a part of our history. Its important to preserve them so that our future generations can understand the journey weve taken.”29The word “deterioration” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.Agetting worseBget
