Mark Kelly and Scott Kelly from the USA will give you the answer.Mark and Scott are twin brothers. They were once great astronauts in NASA（美国国家航空航天局）. From 2015 to 2016, Scott spent 340 days at the International Space Station. But Mark still stayed on the earth. Scientists wrote down some information about the twins before, during and after the space travel. They used it to study how different a person was after the long space travel.The full results of the studies will come out in a year or two. But scientists showed us some early findings. When Scott came back from space, he changed a lot. He was 5 cm taller than before. His eyesight became worse. He found that he couldn't see things clearly. Another change was that he couldn't move his legs easily just like before. Scientists also found that after Scott came back to the earth, it took him much longer to understand things. As for Mark, he could do so as well as before.Scientists say when people grow old, their telomeres（染色体端粒）will get shorter. Mark's telomeres kept getting shorter. However, during Scott's stay in space, his telomeres got longer.Further studies on the twins are still going on.

It has made not only Chinese fans but also the world enjoy the beauty in Chinese poetry （诗歌）.Named after the ancient city of Xi’an in Shanxi province, the movie showed us ama zing life of poet Li Bai in fact. It also brought us back to the golden age in Chinese history—Tang Dynasty. Tang poems in the movie helped us get closer to a real Li Bai and his dreams. When Li Bai enjoyed nature, he said, “Its torrent dashes down three thousand feet from high; As if the Silver River fell from the blue sky （飞流直下三千尺, 疑是银河落九天）.”When he got into trouble, he said, “Heaven gave me talent for a reason; Spent now, riches return in season（天生我才必有用, 千金散尽还复来）.”Everyone in the cinema couldn't help spe aking them out loudly when they heard these classical poems again.Many parents brought their kids to watch the movie. After watching it, children had a better understanding of the poems in the textbooks. And poems from Li Bai gave them energy（能量）to get over the difficulties in life. Li Bai's lifelong friendship with Gao Shi also touched their heart and taught them to cherish（珍惜）friends around them.Li Bai has been away from us for a long time, but he is always the “immortal” in our hearts with his great poems.
