Three Chinese astronauts recently arrived at the Country’s new space station in another step forward for the growing space power. The three-member crew will stay for three months in the station's main living space    1     (call) a module. The module is named Tianhe,     2     means “Harmony of the Heavens” in Chinese. The astronauts will carry out science experiments and perform maintenance. They also plan to complete space walks and prepare the station     3     (receive) two other modules next year.

Up to now, China     4    (send) 14 astronauts into space since its first launch in 2003. It is the     5    (three) country after the former Soviet Union and the United States to do so. As its economy experienced     6    (grow) in the 1990s, China made a plan for space exploration. Since then, it has attempted to carry out this plan carefully and     7    (steady).

China was banned from drawing the ISS. It's likely, however,     8     China would have built on its own station anyway because of its goal to become a major space power. The building and operation of the space station will raise the level of Chinese technologies and will accumulate experience for all the people. China's space program has been     9     larger part of its national pride. It represents the country's rise from a poor nation to     10    (become) the world’s second -largest economy in the last 40 years.

Kitchen technology has reached new heights. So far, astronauts on the International Space Station     1    （make）the universe’s first space-baked cookies. They are     2    very first kind of food     3     (bake) in space from raw ingredients. The astronauts said     4    （eat） freshly baked food will make them happy while on the space station. It will be a comforting       5    （remind）of home. This will be important for astronauts going to the moon or on the long journey to Mars.

Baking the space cookies once     6    （think） extremely difficult. On Earth, cookies take about 20 minutes to bake in an oven heated to 150 degrees Celsius （302 degrees Fahrenheit）. That was not long enough in space. The first cookie came out    7    （total） undercooked.

The space bakers turned     8     the oven’s temperature and baked the dough for longer     9    they were successful. The fifth cookie they made     10     (take) 130 minutes to bake. The space-baked cookies are now in a laboratory in Houston, Texas. Scientists will test them to see if they are safe to eat.
