21、Since 1936, many female space explorers have followed Russian astronaut Valentina Tereshkova. Let’s look at the missions(任务)of four important female astronauts to find out what astronauts do in space.
In 1983, Sally Ride became the first American women in space. Her team carried out scientific experiments in space and put two communications satellites in space. Satellites make it possible for us to communicate instantly with each other across the world through TV, radio, and telephones.
In 1984, Kathryn Sullivan became the first American women to walk in space. During her mission, she discovered important information about the sun’s energy and how it affects the climate in very hot and very cold places on Earth. She also took photographs of Earth and measured air pollution.
In 1992, Mae Jemison became the first African-American in space. During her mission, she did scientific experiments using the weightless atmosphere. In space, there is no gravity, so everything floats! Dr. Jemison’s experiments gave important information about the human body to produce better medicines and healthcare.
In 2012, Liu Yang became the first Chinese women in space. She did experiments in space medicine, which look at how astronauts can survive and stay healthy in space. The conditions in space are very hard on the body and space medicine helps astronauts work safely.

23、You plan and hope, keeping a close eye on the forecast. Even so, the vacation you expect gets ruined by the bad weather. I’m pretty sure that everyone has their story of the plans messed up by weather forecasts. 【1】Why is it that even with all the technological wonders in the world, it’s still a challenge to predict the weather?
【2】A lot of data from different sources, like satellites, are accumulated and analyzed. Powerful computers use this data to make predictions. The idea of using numerical analysis to predict the weather originated in the 1920s with Lewis Fry Richardson’s writings. Later, with the help of supercomputers, this became a more practical approach.
Weather forecasts often go wrong, but not quite as often as you might think. We tend to focus mostly on what goes wrong, so it feels like the forecasts are always inaccurate. A five-day forecast is actually pretty accurate — 【3】For a seven-day forecast, the numbers go down to about 80%. But add more days and the uncertainty necessarily builds. These numbers are also much better than what they used to be. 【4】
To determine the state of the atmosphere at any point, and therefore make a forecast, several different changes must be taken into account. 【5】The changes are used as initial conditions that can be fed into mathematical models. The models are designed based on patterns in historical data and the typical behavior of weather. Advancements in data collection and the processing power of computers also help explain why forecasts today have improved so dramatically.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Luke was a 12-year-old boy. He was flying alone to meet his parents in Maroochydore for his summer vacation. He wanted to go to the toilet, so he stood up and walked along the aisle.
A little girl was waiting outside the toilet already. Luke could see that she had been crying.
“What’s your name?” he asked her.
“Cathy,” said the little girl, starting to cry again. She told Luke that her father was taking her to America without telling her mum and that she didn’t want to leave her mum.
Luke’s eyes opened wide. “You mean your dad is kidnapping (绑架) you?” he gasped. Cathy nodded, still sobbing.
At that moment the toilet door opened and the flight attendant came out. She saw the tears on Cathy’s face. With a stern look, she warned Luke to stop bullying the little girl and stay away from her. Cathy didn’t know what to do. She put her thumb into her mouth and then ran into the toilet.
Luke was sad, dragging his feet back to his seat. How could he tell someone what was happening? Cathy’s father was sitting just across the aisle. He could hear every word. Suddenly Luke had a brainwave! He secretly wrote a note and pressed the call button. The attendant came and read the note quickly. “That’s not a very good joke.” She dropped the note into her pocket and walked away.
A sharp look from Cathy’s father warned Luke that he had known his “trick”. Luke slumped back in his seat. He felt that everyone in the plane was angry with him. How could he tell someone what was happening?
Soon, the plane landed. Luke could see Cathy’s father striding down the walkway towards an escalator (自动扶梯). Cathy was trying to pull away, and crying, but her father picked her up and started running up the stairs. Luke spotted a policeman at the exit, but it was quite a distance.
