Xiao Ming: The Chang’e 4 lunar probe landed on the moon successfully.
For the first question, we see “重磅 (zhòng bàng),” “重 (zhòng)” means heavy and “磅 (bàng)” is a unit of measurement, so put together this means “heavy/serious” news, which translates to “Big News!”
As for the second answer, as you can see from the dialogue, Xiao Ming is talking about the successful landing on the moon, and so the answer is B!
