If you have been dreaming of becoming an astronaut after you grow up, get start now! An astronaut needs a strong body and mind. Shenzhou VI astronauts are able to live upside-down. They do this not just during sleep, but also when eating and going to the toilet. Before they  1   the space, they had lots of practice. Each upside-down training time lasted 20 days.

       Chinese astronauts aren’t just spaceship  2   but also machine repairers and scientists. They have to know every part of the spaceship and how it works.  3   something goes wrong, they’ve got to know  4   repair it. Also they do scientific experiments in space.

       Shenzhou VI astronauts know how to live in  5  . They took a knife, a gun and some dye with them into space. If they land in forests, the knife and gun can  6   them from wild animals. If they  7   the sea, the dye can color the seawater around them yellow. This can drive  8   sea animals away.

       Astronauts must have strong  9  . They can’t get a headache and be sick. With many things to   10   , they’ve got no time for sickness. Do you still have a long, long way to go?

China’s second manned（人造的） space flight will be done by two astronauts（宇航员） over five days in 2005. “Shenzhou-VI will be sent into space sometime in 2005,” said Zuo Saichun, a spokesperson of the China Aerospace Science and Technology (CAST). “The spacecraft（宇宙飞船） will make new breakthroughs（突破性进展） in China’s manned space technology.”

    Unlike Shenzhou-V, a little more than a year ago (in October, 2003), the next flight will see two astronauts fly in space for five days. Their capsule (太空舱) is designed to be capable（能够）of orbiting（绕轨道运行） for a whole week, the spokesperson said. “For the first time, astronauts will enter and live in the orbital module（舱） of the spacecraft to do scientific experiments,” said a statement from CAST. CAST did not say what those experiments will be.

    In Shenzhou-VI, scientists have changed the spacecraft’s configuration (构形) to reduce its weight, and tried to improve the performance of on-board equipment. They have also worked to make sure of the energy supply of the spacecraft and further improve its safety. So far, scientists have worked out ways to solve problems on environmental control and life support. Shenzhou-VI will be sent into orbit atop（在……顶上） a Long March 2F rocket.

    Meanwhile, a model of the Chang’e-1 satellite is expected to be sent to orbit the moon in two years. The satellite, part of the three-stage programme, would be followed by the landing of an unmanned vehicle on the moon in the second stage by 2010 and collecting samples（样品） of lunar soil by 2020 in the final stage, according to Sun Laiyan, director of the China National Space Administration.

　　   A. It will be sent into space in 2005.

　　   B. It is capable of orbiting for two weeks.

　　   C. It will be sent into orbit atop a Long March 2F rocket.

　　   D. It will be sent into space with two astronauts.

2.. According to the passage, the following problems should be solved before Shenzhou-VI is sent into space EXCEPT ______.

　　   A. environmental control     B. energy supply

　　   C. life support              D. lunar soil collecting

3.. Which of the following does NOT belong to the three-stage programme?

　　   A. Shenzhou-VI’s being sent into space.

　　   B. A model of the Chang’e-1 satellite will be sent to orbit the moon.

　　   C. The landing of an unmanned vehicle on the moon.

　　   D. Collecting samples of lunar soil.

4.. The passage mainly tells us ______.

　　   A. some problems need solving before Shenzhou-VI is sent into space

　　   B. Shenzhou-VI will be sent into space in 2005

　　   C. what China’s space programme is

　　   D. how China’s three-stage programme is carried out
