Man has been traveling into space for more than forty years. Even though today, very few people get the chance to be an astronaut, about thirty per year. This is mainly because of the expense. It costs millions of yuan to train and send astronauts into space. Very few countries can afford this.
This why American businessman Dennis Tito paid 20000000 US dollars to the Russian space agency to go into space. He visited the International Space Station. His trip making him the first ever space tourist, took eight days in total. He spent most of his time taking photos, looking at earth and listening to music on his once-in-a-lifetime trip.
After landing safely back on earth, Mr Tito thought the trip was worth the money. The only difficulty he had was walking but this is normal for anyone who's been in zero gravity.
Some people especially in the American space agency, argue that you must be professional to go into space. They worried about the safety of other astronauts. However, Mr Tito received training before he left. He also helped to prepare food for the others while in space. They told him what to do and where he was allowed to go.
A survey carried out soon after Tito landed showed that seventy-five percent of American supported space tourism. Some people are bored of all the places on the earth. They are looking for a new adventure and space is the place.
The money Mr Tito gave the Russians paid for twenty percent of their annual budget. If we want to see men on Mars and other planets, we may need rich people like Mr Tito to help us pay for it. The Russians have more rich people who want to become space tourists. They should take them.

on its head. In fact, this was a new kind of cat. People named it the "Scottish Fold (苏格兰折耳猫)".
The Scottish Fold has a round head and large eyes. Its neck and legs are short, which makes it look very
cute. Interestingly, all the Scottish Folds are born with straight and unfolded ears. And when they are growing
up day by day, some cats' ears will begin to fold. So, the Scottish Fold comes in two types: folded ears and
straight ears.
Besides, there is a nickname for the Scottish Fold. It is the "Messenger of Peace". Why? Because the Folds
are sweet and friendly animals. They can get along well with other cats. And unlike some other cats, they can
even get along well with dogs! In many different environments, such as at a noisy house, or in a cat show,
you can see them playing with other animals happily. Well, when you come to a new school, do you think it's
difficult to adapt to the new environment? Perhaps you can learn from the Scottish Fold. That is: always be
sweet and friendly to others.
