Have you ever imagined how people eat in space? It’s not easy. In a word, it is different from that on Earth. The food that astronauts carry with them doesn’t look like the food you eat.
Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it. All the water is removed (去掉) from the food. In the space capsule (太空舱), the astronaut puts the water back. He “shoots” hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun (枪). He eats the food through a small hole in the bag.
Other foods come in bite-size (一口大小的). The astronaut puts a whole piece in his mouth each time. There can’t be crumbs (食物碎屑). Crumbs would float around the capsule and get in the way. Meat, cakes and cereal (麦片) often come in bite-size pieces.
Astronauts can’t drink water from open cups. The water would float in drops in the air. The water is put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his month.
Do you think it difficult to eat in space? Astronauts must learn to eat this way.
1. What is the food the astronauts get like?2. Why do some foods come in bite-size?

On a very hot day, it is hard to know what to do to feel good. If you run around, you may feel sick in your stomach. However, if you just sit quietly and do nothing, you may feel bored. What can you do to feel good and have fun when you’re hot?
Playing in water is a good idea to make you cool down. Taking a cool shower or just washing toys in cool water can make you feel good on a hot day. Besides, you can read stories or paint in front of a fan. You don’t need to move your body very much. These are some of the cool things to do on a hot day.
It’s important for you to drink water, too. On hot days, you can lose about 16 glasses of water in one day. If you feel thirsty, you are already short of water. So don’t wait for thirst before you start to drink. You should drink as much water as you lose every day.
The food you eat also makes a difference in how you feel in the heat. Cold foods such as ice cream and drinks with some ice can cool down your body. Fruits and vegetables are also helpful to stay cool in hot weather. So plan a healthy menu for a hot day—one that doesn’t need any cooking.

4. What is the passage mainly about?
At 15:40 on December 9th, 2021, the “space teacher”, Wang Yaping, made some experiments in the Tianhe Core Module of the Chinese Space Station.
“Welcome to the ‘Tiangong Classroom!’ ” said Wang Yaping.
Taking a “spacewalk” is difficult. Ye Guangfu was working hard to walk, but his body floated! Then he tried to turn around but he couldn’t. “In space, astronauts are in a weightless environment. So we need to use nearby devices (装置) to move,” he said.
The paper flower “blooms”. In the “Tiangong Classroom”, Wang Yaping made a beautiful water film (水膜). Then she took out a paper flower and placed it on the film of water. The pink flower slowly “bloomed”! “I hope your dreams can bloom in the huge universe!” she said.
“Space Happy Ball” brings fun. Wang Yaping asked the children on the ground to put their ping pong ball in the water. The density (密度) of the ball was less than that of the water, so it floated up. In space, when she put the ping pong ball into the water, it did not float up to the surface. It stopped in the center of the water! “The buoyancy (浮力) disappears in a weightless environment in space so the ping pong ball cannot float (漂浮).” Ms. Wang explained.

【推荐3】Wearing masks is an effective way of preventing respiratory droplet transmission (呼吸道飞沫传播). Here are some questions on masks you may care about.
What kind of mask should I wear?
Medical surgical masks and N95 masks are two top choices, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. A medical surgical mask is enough for daily protection when in open areas. However, if you have close contact with suspected (疑似的) patients, an N95 mask is needed.
If you go to uncrowded public places, you can also wear one-time medical masks.
Remember to change them every four hours if you keep wearing them.
How to wear masks correctly?
Distinguish between the inside and outside parts of your mask, as well as the upper and lower parts. The light surface is the inside of the mask, while the dark surface is the outside. The nose clip (鼻夹) is located on the upper part of the mask.
Wash your hands before putting on your mask. Avoid touching the inner side of your mask. Replace your masks regularly.

【推荐1】Your dog is barking (吠), but you can’t hear it! Your best friend is telling you a joke, but you can’t catch it! How terrible! The people who have hearing loss (失聪) are considered deaf.
It’s not easy being deaf, and although some kids are born deaf, many others lose their hearing later on. So it’s important to know how to be a good friend with anyone in the Deaf Community (群落). Here are some ways.
Be patient and do not give up on a friend of hearing loss. If you repeat what you are saying loudly, and it isn’t helping your Deaf friend. Try to write it down or use body language.
Also, remember that deafness isn’t the same as being stupid (笨). Deaf kids are just as smart as anyone else. Don’t treat your Deaf friends like they are not very smart. Though they can’t hear you, there’s nothing wrong with their head.
Don’t forget about texts, e-mails and so on. These are much better ways to keep in touch with your Deaf friend than phone calls. If the two of you can sign (打手语), a video call is great!
It’s fun to communicate with others. We should support all of our friends, and make new ones!

【推荐2】Is reading better than watching TV? I believe it is. Is reading better than playing video games? I’m not so sure if it is. If learning is important to you, but not necessarily so, and if pleasure is what you want, these activities can be pleasant in their own ways. Reading might be better than many activities if you want to educate yourself and improve your chances of succeeding in your work.
If you’re serious about creating the habit of reading, what’s important is finding a time you can read every day—often that’s early morning or late at night, or both. For others, it might be during their lunch break. You only need to read for 10 to 20 minutes a day to form the habit.
Then, you need to find a place that’s comfortable. Make sure it has good lighting, the temperature is nice and you’re in a good chair. Or you can find some place that you can relax in without falling asleep, although there’s nothing wrong with sleep.
Next, be sure to shut off the TV, Internet, cell phone, radio, or other music, let reading be a quiet time. Mark an “x” on your calendar every day you read, and try to keep your unbroken “x” es going as long as possible. A habit is much easier to get into if it’s something you enjoy, not something you are made to do. So make the time you spend reading a joy. I’ve been a lifelong reader, so the pleasure of a good book is one of my favorite things in the world. I love to lose myself in the world of a book.

【推荐3】Seeing blood in a horror movie might make you cover your eyes, but real blood isn't scary at all. In fact, blood is the gift of life and keeps us alive. That's why blood donors are considered lifesavers.
Blood donors are those giving blood—usually about 200ml at a time—to blood banks or blood donation(捐赠) centers. Then the blood can be used for people in need. For example, someone may have lost blood in accidents, or have a serious illness that requires his blood to be replaced. Hospitals and blood banks store the blood and try to keep enough on hand.
Donating blood is not difficult. Medical workers ask donors several questions to make sure the blood is safe to use. Then the donors relax, often reading a magazine or talking as their blood is drawn. Afterward, the donors may receive some juice or water and maybe fruit to give them energy. The process is simple, not scary. Most people are able to donate blood again in several months if they wish.
To give blood, a person must be at least 18 years old and must meet certain other requirements. Students of all ages, though, can learn more about the donation process by visiting a local blood donation center. Donating blood is not only one of the easiest ways to save lives. It is also an easy way to help a community.

She became China’s first woman to walk in space! Wang, together with a man astronaut Zhai Zhigang, walked in space for six and a half hours, wearing the space suits made in China. They also tested the safety (安全) of their space suits and did some other work in space.
So far, only 16 women (including WangYaping) around the world have done spacewalks.
Scientists think women spacewalkers are very important to space science. Usually, women are more careful than men and they can better do with loneliness (孤独). So 3. it’s easier for them to stay long in space.
4. Scientists believe that humans may live on other planets someday. If we don’t let women take part in this, the research results of space life science would be incomplete (不完整的). Scientists need to learn about how space affects (影响) women’s bodies with the help of women spacewalkers. That’s why Wang’s spacewalk is important.

In honor of international Women’ Day Chinese astronaut Wang Yaping sent a message to the women of the world from the Chinese space station.
With the development of aerospace technology and commercial (商业的) aerospace, it has become increasingly common for women to take part in spaceflight. I hope all girls guard your space dreams of going to the sea of stars. One day, before you know it, when you look up, you will see that your dream is already within reach. It is possible that more and more women will take part in manned spaceflight missions (载人航天飞行任务). It will have a very important influence on the large-scale (大规模) and long-term human exploration of space in the future. It will make our careers in space exploration develop quickly and continuously. This also helps to encourage women to go after their dreams bravely and achieve a wonderful life. Ladies, although our nationalities, ethnicities (种族) and careers are different, but women all over the world are making the world more lively, more harmonious and warmer through their own efforts.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank every female for their selfless contribution. I also wish every female would pick the brightest stars for the lives and careers they love in their own starry sky. |
Space has never changed its environment or lowered its level because of the arrival of women.

As the Shenzhou-13 spaceship docked (对接) with China’s space station on October 16, 2021, Wang Yaping became the first woman astronaut to work on the space station. She would spend six months there, along with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu. Wang would also become the first Chinese to take a spacewalk. 2. Besides (此外), she would give a class on the space station, encouraging young people to follow their space dreams.
Wang’s dream of flying to space as an astronaut was inspired by Yang Liwei who became China’s first space travellers in 2003. “Now China has its man in space. When will our country have its first woman?” Wang thought. She was then working as a pilot in China’s air force (空军).
In January 1980, Wang was born in a small village in Yantai, Shandong Province. Shen flew a plane for the first time when she was 18 years old. As a pilot, she flew 1,567 hours in all, including flying to help with the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake relief (救灾) work and the 2008 Summer Olympic in Beijing.
In May 2010, Wang became one of China’s first women astronauts. She achieved her space dream in 2013 by taking the Shenzhou-10 ride. During her 15-day flight, Wang taught China’s first lesson from space. Over 60 million primary and middle school students across the country enjoyed her lesson.
