21、Can you imagine astronauts’ everyday life in space? They also need to eat, sleep, exercise and relax. They do the same things as us, but they do them differently.

On Earth, we put food on a plate. Gravity holds the food down and keeps it on a place. But there is almost no gravity in space, so food can float(漂浮) away, and astronauts must eat carefully.

Sleeping is very different in space. Some astronauts like to float in the air, but most like to be in a sleeping bag. They tie the bag to a wall so that they won’t float away at night.

Exercise is very important in space. On Earth, your legs carry your body, but in space, astronauts float, so they do not use their legs often. This is very bad for their legs, so they must exercise for thirty minutes every day.

  After a day’s work, astronauts relax. They may listen to music, read, watch films, play games, or talk to their friends and families on the radio. Sometimes they just enjoy floating in the air.

【1】What does the underlined word “gravity” mean in Chinese?

A. 平衡   B. 力量   C. 磁性   D. 重力

【2】Why do astronauts tie the sleeping bag to a wall?

A. Because in that way they won’t float away.

B. Because that makes them sleep well.

C. Because they can’t get to sleep if they don't do that.

D. Because the sleeping bag is not safe enough.

【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. It is about the importance of gravity.

B. It is about astronauts’ everyday life in space.

C. It is about the differences between space and Earth.

D. It is about how to avoid(避免) floating away while sleeping.

22、   When I was a child, I loved to watch cartoons. I still do. My favourite is Tom and Jerry. It’s funny. There are some cartoons that they do not show on TV any more. I miss them.

                                                              Hawk

I don’t like cartoons, even when I was a kid. They are really boring. I don’t like the music, the characters and their unnatural (不自然的) voices. I still think it’s a waste (浪费) of time. Most of my free time, I’m on my computer playing games.

                                                                Daniel

My daughter Josie loves cartoons. She is good at drawing, and she even draws her own cartoon characters. I watch cartoons sometimes with her. Some of them are interesting like SpongeBob SquarePants and Courage the Cowardly Dog. Then there are some that are quite strange like Invader Zim.

                                                               Mary

Cartoons are great because you don’t need to think. It’s not like the movies such as The Da Vinci Code and Inception where you always want to ask “What’s happening?” My favourite cartoon is SpongeBob SquarePants.

23、The most popular food in America was invented because a cook got angry. George Crum was a cook at a restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York. One day in 1853, a customer (顾客) who had ordered fried (油炸的) potatoes sent them back to the kitchen. He wanted the cook to slice (切) them thinner and fry them longer.

Far many years, people called them Saratoga chips after the town where they were first made.
