    When I was a child,space was all I dreamt and talked about. My parents thought it was just a phase(阶段) ,but as I grew up I became greatfy interested in science. I never doubted that one day I'd be an astronaut(宇航员) .” As an adult,Anousheh Ansari left her home country Iran,settled in the USA and started a company. The company was so successful that she was finally able to sell it for $750 million. uThe first thing that crossed my mind was that my life's goal might now be within reach and I signed up to become the first female(女性的) private space explorer at a cost of around $20 million."

    Anousheh set on on September 18th along with two astronauts. On the space station,each member of a space crew  crew(全体机组人员) ,tourist or not,is expected to carry out important siuuymg uiiy me luims umi uaii uaiiy uibcascs uu

board the station. Many people might have considered this “working holiday” bad、but Anousheh loved it.

      Anousheh faced many difficulties on board. To wash her hair,for example,she had to put water over her head; however,little bits of water would y/oaf (漂浮) away. “The guys liked to make fUn of me. They’d ask me to pass the bread and when I handed it to them,rather than floating it,they say T taken all the fun out of it. After a while,I got used to all this,though,and I felt so at home

that in the end it was hard to go back to normWify."

       Anousheh is proud to be the first female space tourist and wants to encourage women all over the world. However,she doesn,t like the title “space tourist”. “I think if my experience is to be compared to an experiment or an experience on Earth,it is probably closer to an adventure to Antarctica or climbing Mount Everest,” she explains.
