Space Adventures is taking reservations for the flights，（41）H to the first manned spaceflights．The trip will cost﹩90，000，with a﹩6，000 （42）G required．More than 200people have made reservations，said Sarah，Dalton，the company spokeswoman．
John Spencer of the Space Tourism Society says that a more realistic（43）K for regular space travel is 50years．Issues of expense，difficulty，and danger must still be resolved．Oh yes-a reusable vehicle must also be invented．He adds，however，that ten years from now，a（44）D number of people may be able to visit a space station．He says he expects a fleet of private space vehicles or"space yachts"（游艇） to be in （45）B in 20to 25years．They will do what he calls"orbital super yachting．"After that，there will be cruise lines，like those that travel the Earth's oceans，as well as space hotels and resorts．
There have been only a few studies to determine the public's interest in space tourism，but they all conclude that a （46）Eof people would like to visit space and would be willing to pay good money for it．
According to expert Patrick Collins，between 5million and 20million people will head for space by 2030．He also （47）A 100flights a day leaving Earth．It would be （48）Jto have more than 100hotels in Earth's orbit（轨道），a few more orbiting the moon，and a few on the moon's surface．These hotels would （49）C more than 100，000people，who would work month-long shifts．Each hotel would have a service station．Such service stations would provide oxygen，water，and hydrogen．They might also ship（50）F safe electric power back to Earth．
If all the issues can be resolved，Collins says that space tourism could one day become a﹩1trillion．
Someone may become addicted to collecting a certain thing yet never organize the collection as it grows out of control．This can especially be a problem for those with a lot of time and money at hand，yet the problem can be serious for any type of person in a wide variety of situation．
One's personal attitude can often be a big part of why the chronic disorganization exists．Once the attitude of acceptance about being a"slob"is in someone's head，it's hard to remove．If someone tells himself that he is a slob，he will likely live up to that self-image created by him or by those around him．
One first receives true awareness of the disorder of chronic disorganization when it starts to negatively affect relationships with friends and family members．Everybody becomes affected by this situation，especially those sharing living places with the one involved．
The National Study Group for Chronic Disorganization （HSGCD） recommends that one get help through a professional organizer．The study found that all of the subjects in the study had problems with making decisions．There were varied reasons given for this problem of decision-making．Among them were fears and prioritizing issues．Research is ongoing for the link between problems in decision-making and chronic disorganization．
Chronic disorganization often begins with situational disorganization，something most people experience at some point．Someone who has lost someone significant to him may start to be troubled by disorganization after a divorce．Someone who experienced changes in life and in his career is likely to let things like organization and order fall by the wayside．However，one doesn't instantly have chronic disorganization．
"If you're going through hell，keep going．"That's an old saying that's true about one's struggles with chronic disorganization．Every person has the power to change within himself．It's a matter of staying organized，one day at a time．Those who have left chronic disorganization in the past have often done so by promising to stay organized simply for that single day．
| Definition | ◆It means that the person is （71）habitually disorganized in life and business over a long period．（72）Short of organization，one is likely to have the problem． |
| Recognizing the problem | ◆One example is that an addict is（73）unable to organize the collection． ◆The existence of chronic disorganization is partly （74）affected/caused by one's personal attitude． ◆One doesn't （75）realize the disorder of chronic disorganization until it has bad effects on the relationships with friends and family members． |
| The findings of the study | ◆All subjects in the study（76）suffer from the problem of poor decision-making，which is linked with chronic disorganization．Further research are still in（77）progress． |
| Warning（78）signs | ◆People losing someone significant，going through a divorce or changes in one's life and career have a （79）tendency to ignore organization and order． |
| Good news | ◆In（80）wrestling with chronic disorganization，every person has the power to change，at least one single day at a time． |
