Life in space is much different from life on earth. How do astronauts live in space?

Eating In the past, astronauts could only eat small pieces of dried food. But now they are able to eat more everyday food like fruit, vegetables and ice-cream.

Sleeping All the people on the ISS（国际空间站）have their own rooms. They should be tied（系）to their beds, or they'll fly away! That seems like a hard way to sleep, but astronauts say sleeping is really not too bad.

Exercising This is more important in space than on earth. Astronauts exercise on bikes and other machines（机器）for about two hours every day. That way, they can still be healthy when they get back home.

Having fun Astronauts can read books, play cards, listen to music or send emails to their friends and families when they aren't working. Sometimes they just sit and look out of the window. It's also much fun!

（1）、Which of the following is not mentioned（提到）?

A、Fruit. B、Noodles. C、Vegetables. D、Ice-cream.

（2）、Why should astronauts be tied to their beds?

（3）、What don't astronauts do in their free time?

（4）、Which of the following is TRUE?

A、Astronauts think sleeping in space is really difficult. B、Astronauts exercise on bikes and other machines to keep fit. C、Astronauts feel bored to look out of the window. D、Astronauts have enough time to watch TV.

The earth moves round the sun, and the moon goes round the earth. When our part（部分）of the earth turns to the sun, it is day, When our part of the earth turns away from the sun, it is night. The sun is much bigger than the moon. But sometimes the moon looks bigger than the sun, because it's much nearer to the earth. The sun is very bright. It gives a very strong light. The moon looks quite bright, too. But it doesn't give any light at all. The moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars. But actually（事实上）, the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon. They look smaller than the moon because they're much farther away from us.

There are many kinds of ants in America. One kind is very strong. People are afraid of it.
These ants move in a large group. They eat all the animals on their way. They can kill and eat elephants, and they can eat wood houses. Sometimes even people are killed by them. When the ants come, people leave their homes. But people are sometimes glad after the ants pass through, because they can see no insects(昆虫) or snakes.

   It's important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:
   1. Reduce
   If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely. Millions of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses a little paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste
   2. Reuse
   You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your clothes you do not use or the ones which are too small to the poor. With a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.
   3. Recycle
   Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so, we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat（压平）and melted (融化) and the melted things are made for new coke cans.
   4. Recover
   When you buy a box of apples, there may be a few rotten（腐烂的）apples. You have two choices: one is to throw the whole apple away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and eat the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.
   5. Repair
   If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it instead of throwing it away. If you want to change for better ones, It is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is true that North America is a   “throw-away” society（社会）. But the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.

   When people want to know about the weather, they usually go to their radios, TVs, newspapers, or to the Internet. However, you can also find many weather signs among wildlife, because of their highly developed senses. Drops in air pressure produce an effect on small animals in many ways. Mice and deer are good weather indicators. People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed that, before a storm, field mice come out of their holes and run around. Deer leave high ground and come down from the mountains.
   Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways. For example, some birds become irritable(暴躁) and quarrelsome and will fight over a piece of bread. Other birds chirp and sing just before a storm. It seems they know they won't get another chance for an hour or two. Birds also look for safe places before a storm. You will sometimes see birds settling in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building. Pre-storm low pressure make the air so thin that birds have difficulty flying.
   It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime, rather than during the periods in the spring or autumn. Watch for other weather signs if you see this. If they fly in the wrong direction, they may be flying ahead of a storm.
   By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature, we can become better prepared for any kind of weather.

Turns out，you're not just what you eat—you're also where you eat．

Researchers found out that people had double the number of calories(卡路里)when standing in a messy kitchen compared to when they stood in an orderly one．

The researchers had 98 women spend to minutes in kitchens，under the guise of (以……为幌子)asking them to wait for someone．Half of the women stood in a messy kitchen，with piles of newspapers，dirty dishes and a ringing phone．The other half of the women waited in a clean kitchen．

Both kitchens had bowls of biscuits and carrots．Each woman in the messy kitchen ate twice as many cookies compared to those in the clean kitchen．

Why did this happen?

“Being in a messy environment and feeling out of control is bad for diets，''Lenny Vartanian，one of the researchers，said．“It seems to lead people to think，‘Everything else is out of control,so why shouldn't I be?'''

The study's size was small，but the findings prove something we know all too well：Stress(压力)is bad for you．Stress often causes people to overeat．Beyond weight gain，too much stress can also increase a person's heart rate，and lead to painful conditions like headaches．

While there are many ways to manage stress．including listening to music and exercising，this study shows that there are easy and quick things you can do to find calm．The next time you don't want to tidy up the kitchen，remember that the exercise will help you a lot in so many ways．

Lidong usually comes on November 7 or November 8 every year. It is the Chinese word for one of the 24 solar terms(节气). It means the beginning of winter.

As the weather gets colder and there is less sunlight, people might get sick easily. According to scientific research, adults usually have two to four colds each year, while young children suffer from six to eight colds each year, especially in winter months. One of the best ways to keep healthy during winter is to stay warm.

There are many ways to stay warm. A living room should be around 18-21℃, and you can also use a hot water bottle to keep warm.

Add some things to your winter dishes, such as pepper, ginger, and garlic. These things can make you warm. A winter coat warms you up from the outside. Add several layers(层) of thin clothing, for example, a shirt and a thin sweater, to stay even warmer. Clothes made from wool are usually very warm.
