①Did you hear of China’s Tiangong space station? How much do you know about the lives of astronauts working in the space station? Come along and find out!

②For astronauts in space, exercise is important. The environment is very different in space. Doing sports helps astronauts stay healthy. How do they exercise? There is a spin bike (健身车), a treadmill (跑步机), and other fitness equipment (设备) in the space station. The equipment makes it easy for astronauts to work out.

③Astronauts live in a weightless environment, so they can’t take showers like we do on the earth. Is there a bathroom in the space station? How do they keep themselves clean? Don’t worry! Tiangong has a special bathroom. Astronauts can wipe themselves clean with a wet towel (毛巾).

④What do astronauts eat in the space station? There is bread for breakfast. There are also traditional Chinese dishes, like Kung Pao Chicken, fried rice and fried noodles with sliced pork. There is a special “fridge” to store the food. It’s made of “aerogel (气凝胶)”. The food stays cool in it.

⑤What if astronauts miss their families? There is special communication equipment in the space station. Astronauts can have personal “sky-to-earth” calls with their families. Usually, the astronauts wear earphones. It not only helps them talk with each other, but also allows them to talk to the ground from any position (位置).

3 . When you hear the word “shapeshifting (变身) ”, you may think of magic in some movies and not the climate (气候) . But that’s what animals are doing to go on living in the world.

A new study suggests that some animals are slowly growing larger beaks (喙) , legs and ears. In this way they can cool themselves down more easily as the earth gets warmer. When we talk about the climate change, we often ask “What can humans do with this?” or “How can we live in the future?”. “But we should know that animals also have to face these changes,” said Sara Ryding, from Deakin University, Australia. “If animals do nothing to keep their normal body temperature, they will die.”

In one example, the beaks of some kinds of Australian parrots (鹦鹉) have grown 4 to 10 percent larger. The study says it has a lot to do with the hotter summer over the years. There are other similar examples. Wood mice have longer tails and bats (蝙蝠) in warm climates have bigger wings.

Although the changes are still small, they could be common as the weather becomes hotter. “Body parts like ears may become bigger, so we might be able to see a real Dumbo (big-eared elephant from a Disney cartoon) in the near future,” Ryding told the reporters.

6 . Dogs are our friends. With them, we won’t be alone. However, dogs can do us even more good than that. They can help children improve their reading skills.

A team of Canadian scientists did an experiment (实验) with 22 boys and 17 girls in Grades One through Three. They first tested their reading abilities (能力). Then they asked them to read books that were somewhat difficult for them. Each child read aloud. After they finished the first page, scientists asked the children if they would like to read more or just stop there. They found that children spent more time reading and showed more interest when a dog was in the room. Dogs can help children feel more confident, scientists said. Dogs are good listeners. They won’t mind if children make mistakes. They won’t stop children, either. They only stay quiet by the side of the children.

In recent years, therapy (治疗) dogs have taken part in reading activities in schools and libraries. This study helps us understand how dogs help children learn to read better.

8 . Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, here is a piece of advice for you: Listen to some soft music.

Scientists have found that soft music can help improve our sleep. This works for people of all ages, and even for those with sleeping problems. Soft music can help us fall asleep faster, wake up less during the night and feel more energetic in the morning. You may not notice the effects (效果) immediately, though. It takes as many as three weeks to see the improvement.

     ▲       The reasons aren’t clear yet. It may have something to do with the relaxing effects of a good song. We breathe (呼吸) more slowly and our heart rate becomes lower. They prepare us for sleep. Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats (节拍) per minute works best. Classical, jazz and folk music are more useful than other musical styles.

Remember not to make it too loud. And make sure that the final piece fades out (渐弱) slowly. It’s important to get enough high-quality (高质量的) sleep. Tonight, before you go to bed, play some soft music. Then, just prepare to have a good dream!

9 . What’s sleepwalking (梦游)? Sleepwalking usually happens in the first few hours of sleep. Not all sleepwalkers (梦游者) walk when they are sleeping. Some just sit up or stand in bed or do things just like they’re waking up, but they’re asleep (醒着)! Most get up and walk around for a few minutes or half an hour.

Sleepwalkers’ eyes are open and they usually go back to bed by themselves and they won’t remember it the next day.

About 15% of kids sleepwalk. Sleepwalking usually happens when a person is ill, worried, or doesn’t get much sleep.

Here are some ways to help stop sleepwalking:

●Listen to some light music and relax at bedtime.
●Go to sleep at regular time every night.
