【推荐3】Many people dream of traveling into the space. ________ That’s why astronauts shouldn’t spend more than six months on the International Space Station (ISS) at a time.

Muscle (肌肉) and bone loss. In a weightless environment, astronauts don’t need to use their muscles to support themselves, so their muscles start shrinking (萎缩). To keep their muscles strong, astronauts need to exercise about two hours each day on the ISS.

Sleep disorder (混乱). In space, the sun rises every ninety minutes. It is hard for astronauts to get used to this light-dark cycle when they sleep. Also, they need to sleep in a sleeping bag that is fixed to a wall, and it is uncomfortable. Astronauts now have individual sleeping pods (分离舱)   that help shut out some of the light. Still, studies have found that most astronauts only sleep about six hours each night, even though they should have eight and a half hours.

Brain changes. Scientists have found that the position (位置) of the brain changes during spaceflight. It can affect (影响) how the brain deal with how we see, stay balanced and move around. That’s why some astronauts can’t control their movement and balance after returning to the earth. Scientists have also found that astronauts may get used to this change after going on more spaceflights. But they still need to do more research.
