Can anyone be an astronaut (宇航员)?

Of course not. You don't have to have a science degree but most astronauts do. Most of them are pilots too. Life in a spaceship is hard so you must have a healthy body and mind. You need to be easy-going, patient, and helpful to spend so much time in a small space with other people.

What's the training like?

People have to train for a year to learn how to stay healthy and safe. They practise space walking and living in zero gravity (重力). They train in difficult conditions to learn how to solve problems and to work in a team. Everyday tasks like eating, washing and sleeping can be difficult on a spaceship. There is no running water so you have to wash with wet tissues (湿纸巾); it's hard to enjoy the dry food that astronauts have to eat. And to sleep you must cover your eyes because the sun rises every 90 minutes on the International Space Station. You also have to tie yourself to something so you don't fly away!

What healthy problems do astronauts have?

Life in zero gravity causes changes to our bodies. Bones and muscles become thin and weak so you must do a lot of exercise in space to stay fit and to help the heart move blood around your body. Astronauts often get backache because you grow in space—up to 8 centimeters (厘米)! It's also common to have headaches and to feel sick, especially at the beginning. You must have vitamins (维他命) to take the place of fresh fruit and vegetables. But you don't have to put on sun cream because space suits protect your skin.

Are you still interested?

So now you know. If you want to go to space, study hard, learn to fly and take care of your body and mind.

 请阅读全文并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中,使原文的意思完整、连贯。

Today it is easy to get online and millions of people use the Internet to chat with each other every day. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.

Nowadays plenty of kids are at home alone after school. Are you one of them? Kids who regularly take care of themselves are called"latchkey kids". 

This name got its start in the 1940s. Many men fought in the World War I I and women had to take jobs in factories to keep the country going. With both parents away, lots of kids went home to empty houses after school. Latchkey kids wore house keys around their necks and they used the keys to open doors. 

Today, it's common for both parents to work. As a result, a new generation of kids is spending some time alone after school. It becomes necessary for both parents and kids to make some rules. There are a lot of questions to talk about:

Should you call your mum or dad as soon as you get home?

Should you do your homework first?

Can you watch TV or play computer games? If so, for how long?

What can you eat if you want a snack?

Can friends come over? If so, how many?

……

As latchkey kids, knowing how to stay safe is just as important as following the family rules. Talk about the following questions with your parents:

What should you do when the phone rings?

What should you do if someone knocks at the door?

What should you do if someone breaks into the house?

What should you do if you cut yourself while cooking?

……

You may feel bored when you are at home alone. Don't worry. Keeping yourself busy is helpful. There are many things which can make you feel your home alone time go quickly:

Read a magazine. 

Write an email. 

Phone a friend.
