21、e Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies(PIAAC).The PIAAC measures adults skills in three categories:literacy, numeracy(计算能力)and digital literacy.Participants in the PIAAC were asked to estimate how many books were in their households by the time they were 16 years old. The a
22、verage number in the study was 115 books, but the actual numbers would vary from country to country. Turkish participants averaged 27, while those in Norway had 212 and kids in the UK had 143.

30、 Factory inside the prototype of Chinas new-generation manned spacecraft. The printer, named the Space-Based Composite Material 3D printing System, uses carbon fiber-reinforced materials to autonomously print objects.

Once the space-based 3D printing technology becomes operationally ready, it can extensively benefit space programs as astronauts can use it to manufacture
32、a lot of things they currently need to obtain from resupply flights by cargo spacecraft. Wang Yanan, editor-in-chief of the Aerospace Knowledge magazine, said the 3D printer will be very useful in extended space missions, such as those in a space station, because it will allow astronauts to make com
