It has been eight years since US astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian astronaut Mikhail Kornienko returned to the earth after living on the International Space Station(ISS) for 340 days. Times goes quickly, but it still means a lot as it is a record-setting journey — the longest time humans have spent living on the ISS.

Here is a small part of the book.

"I Can Look Down on the Earth"

From the ISS, I can look down on the earth. Some parts of the world are covered by gases(气体) from factories and cars. These parts make the earth look sick.

But one of my favourite parts is the Bahamas, which are islands in the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean is a mix of deep and light blues. I am lucky to see it.

"My Room Is Small"

I've been here for three weeks already. Sometimes, I wake up and think I'm upside down. My room is just big enough for me. I sleep in a sleeping bag. However, from the outside, the station looks like huge cans (金属容器) connected to each other. It is about the size of a football field.

"The Hardest Thing Is Putting On Socks"

Getting dressed is a bit hard when you can't "sit" or "stand", but I've got used to it. The hardest thing is putting on my socks. There is no gravity(重力) to help me bend(弯腰) over. I have no trouble deciding what to wear. I wear the same things every day.

When Dorota Siewert played the piano as a child in Poland, she never imagined she would later develop a connection with the harp that would lead her to many cities and countries in the world, including Shenzhen. Siewert began playing the piano at the age of 6 and continued until 14. When she had the chance to pick.another instrument, she chose the harp for its beautiful shape as well as its beautiful sound. Becoming a harp artist was her dream. During her studies, she began performing in concert. As the only harp student, she got her first job to perform at a hotel in Oman. "I was able to make enough money to buy my own harp!" she recalled.

Siewert had performed in several countries. She enjoyed attracting audiences with her music. In 2016, personal changes forced Siewert to look for work in Hong Kong. She took the chance, which led her to discover information about Shenzhen. She received an invitation from a local school. " On arrival, a dinner at Sea World and the fountain music show were fantastic introductions to the city."

Siewert presently teaches music at Quality School International in Nanshan. She is teaching eight students aged 8 to 11. To encourage more students to choose the harp, she actively guides them in preparing for concerts. "Teaching the harp was my first step to develop greater interest in this wonderful instrument," she remarked. " My pupils' passion for learning encourages me to make this instrument more popular locally." "It's not difficult, it's just unfamiliar." She often reminds her students of the importance of hope and patience." Facing challenges develops a sense of achievement —the most important I hope they take away from my lessons."She said.

 阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空白处填入一个适当的词或用括号中词语的正确形式填空。

Once upon a time, there was an old man who usually went to the seaside to do his writing. He had a habit of walking {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the beach before he began his writing.

One day, he saw a figure(身影) moving like {#blank#}2{#/blank#} dance r while walking along the seaside. He smiled to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}( he) and thought maybe he could see a dance here. And so, he walked faster.

As he got {#blank#}4{#/blank#}( close), he noticed that it was a young woman. She was not dancing at all. Instead, she bent down(弯腰) to pick up something and then she {#blank#}5{#/blank#}( throw) it into the sea.

So the old man called out," Good morning! May I ask {#blank#}6{#/blank#} you are doing?"

The young woman paused, looked up, and answered," I am throwing starfish into the sea."

"{#blank#}7{#/blank#} really surprised me a lot. Why are you throwing starfish into the sea?" asked the old man.

To this, the young woman {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( reply)," The sun is up and the tide is going out. IfI don't throw them in, they' ll die."

Upon hearing this, the old man said," But there are {#blank#}9{#/blank#}( mile) of beach and there are starfish all along every mile. You can't possibly make a difference!"

At this, the woman picked up another {#blank#}10{#/blank#}( one) and put it into the sea. As it met the water, she said," It made a difference to that one."
