Astronauts on shorter shuttle missions (使命)often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break time is often used to finish the day's work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station (ISS). ISS crew members usu?ally live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on the earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with families and friends by e-mail, Internet phone and through private videoconferencing.
While astronauts cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crew member put together a collection of family photos?messa?ges ,videos and reading material for the astronaut to look at when he will be floating 370 kilometres above the earth. During their mission, astronauts also receive care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And from early 2010 , the Internet became available on the ISS,giving astronauts the chance to do some "web surfing(冲浪)，，in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common en?tertainments ,astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.
Many astronauts say that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the earth. Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each day, and every moment offers a new view of the earth's vast land mass and oceans.

[文章大意]宇航员的生活往往是与众不同的，但是宇航员在国际空间站的生活可以跟他们在地球上的生活相似。他们可以与家人或者朋友联系，也可以进行一些日常活动。
1. B 词义猜测题。由第一段中的"They work five days on and two days off…"可知，他们在尽量模仿在地球上的生活，因此答案为B。
2. A推理判断题。由第二段可知在飞行前，这些宇航员的家人以及朋友为他们准备了照片、书籍等供他们消遣的东西， 因此这些家人和朋友很体贴并且想法很周全。文章没有讲述宇航员的家人或者朋友对于这些宇航员工作的兴奋与好奇，因此可以排除D。
3. D推理判断题。从最后一段可知，这些宇航员喜欢从窗口看宇宙和地球，并且地球在不同的时间呈现出不同的W面。
4. D主旨大意题。全文主要讲述了国际空间站的宇航员是如何度过闲暇时间的。B、C 有一定的干扰性。文章提到了宇航员与地面上的家人和朋友联系，也提到了他们透过窗户看地球，但是这些都是细节，不是主题。
