　　The first man to step out of a spaceship and “walk” in outer space was a Russian, Alexia Leon．And Edward White was the first American to take a “space walk”．It is very interesting to imagine what it is like to take a “walk” in space．

　　How did these two astronauts walk in space? Well, they did not actually walk in space with their feet．They floated there．That is because in space there is no earth under your feet to walk on．Space is empty．There is nothing around you and nothing under your feet at all．So how is it possible to walk with your feet? You can only float．What is more, as there is no up or down in space, to float on your stomach, or on your back, or on your head, all feels the same．It does not make any difference to you whether you look at the earth upside down or right side up．

　　A good way to help you to float in space is to use a jet gun．It pushes you much as a jet engine pushes a plane．It also helps you control your direction．And in order to keep you from moving too far away from your spaceship, you have to have a line with you and tie its other end to the spaceship, because it would be so easy to move too fast and drift so far into space that it would be difficult to get back to the spaceship．This line also carries oxygen for you to breathe, and messages from inside the spaceship and from the earth．

　　The first two men to work outside of a spaceship have already enjoyed “space walking”．Their experiments are the first step toward the building of space stations for the exploration of outer space．

　　The old conditions of travel and the new conditions of most travel of today are exactly opposite. For in old travel, as on horseback or on foot now, you saw the country while you traveled. Many of your stopping places were for rest, or because night had fallen, and you could see nothing at night. Under the old system, therefore, a wise traveler might keep moving from day to day, slowly, in deed, but seeing something all the time, and learning what the country was through which he passed by, and talking with the people. But in the new system, he is shut up with his party and a good many other parties in a tight box with glass windows, and whirled on through dust if it be dusty, or rain if it be rainy, under arrangements which make it impossible to talk with the people of the country, and almost impossible to see what that country is.

　　When a tornado (龙卷风) destroys a house, it doesn't blow it down the way a hurricane (十二级台风) does. It makes the house explode. Why does the house explode?

　　The air that surrounds a house presses against it all the time. It usually has a force of about fifteen pounds per square inch. The air inside the house presses out against the walls just as hard. When a tornado passes over a house, it suddenly sucks away the air outside the house. The air inside the house still pushes out against the walls, but now there is nothing pushing back. So the walls are pushed out in an explosion.

　　Pieces of the house are sucked up into the tornado and carried away. There is little left where the house once stood.

　　My brother Martin is really for the birds! He has pictures of birds on the walls of his room. He reads books about birds. He even goes on bird-watching trips. I used to think that was pretty silly.

If you want to bring birds to your yard or apartment windows, here are a couple of easy bird feeders you can make.
