You speak, write a letter, make a telephone call．Your words carry a message．People communicate(交流)with words．Do you think you can communicate without words?A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly．Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad．
When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions．You shake your head, and people know you are saying“No”．You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”．Other things can also carry messages．For example, a sign(招牌，标志)at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take．A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library．Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out．Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time?People can communicate in many other ways．An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things．Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas．Books, magazines, TV and radios and films all help us to communicate with each other．They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about．

Space travel is nothing new．The first spacecraft with a human was sent up into space in 1961．
Since then, people have not only traveled to space, but many of them have also lived there in space stations for some time．
The Soviet Union(前苏联)sent the first space station into space in 1971．This space station was called Salyut I．Salyut I was designed as a place where people could live while they observed space and did experiments．The first group of astronauts lived there for 23 days．The Soviet Union went on to make seven more Salyut space stations．At about the same time, the United States built its own space station, called Skylab．
Astronauts visited and often lived in these space stations for a short time．However, it wasn't until the late 1980s when the Soviet Union sent the Mir space station that people began to live in space for a longer time．Mir stayed in space from 1989 until 2001, when it was decided that the space station was too old and no longer safe to live in．
Living in apace stations seems to be fun, but astronauts face many problems．One of them is food．All the meals on space stations are put together on Earth and sent there by space shuttle．Because the food has to last a long time(sometimes up to three months), a lot of it has to be stored in cans．The space station does not have a fridge, but it has a cool room to keep fruit and vegetables fresh．Astronauts also eat many other foods such as dried meat that do not need special care．
Without the help of gravity, sitting down to eat can be tough．Astronauts sometimes have to fix themselves to the wall while eating．They also have to be very careful to that food does not float away．
