All About Astronauts

Part 1. Special Mission

Astronauts travel into space. The astronauts work in teams to do missions in space. One team of U.S. astronauts had a very special mission to fly from Earth to the moon in July of 1969. People all over the world watched on TV as this team arrived at the moon. The astronaut Neil Armstrong, the captain of the team, became the first person to walk on the moon. After that, other astronauts went on missions to the moon. They collected samples of moon rocks and moon dirt, and they brought them back to Earth.

Part 2. Astronauts' Training

It takes lot of study and hard work to become a real astronaut. Astronauts take special training to learn more about space flight. They also learn about rockets, stars, and planets. They learn about their missions, too. Before their mission, Neil Armstrong and his team studied the moon and the rocks they might find. Some of them are pilots. They need to know how to fly a spacecraft. They use special models to practice flying the spacecraft. They also learn how to wear a space suit. It's usually big and heavy. An astronaut learns how to move in the suit by going into a pool. Moving around underwater feels like moving around in space.

Part 3. __________________

On the moon and out in space, there is little or no gravity(重力). When the spacecraft flies into space, the things inside float(漂浮)around. Astronauts eat food from special packages. The packages are tied to a tray, so the food doesn't fly away. When astronauts want to sleep or exercise, they wear a special strap which can hold them in place.

Sometimes astronauts need to do work outside the spacecraft. Temperatures in space can be very hot or very cold. That's why they must put on their space suits. Furthermore, there is no air in space, the suit can help an astronaut breathe.

In northern Italy, there is a city that everybody should visit at least once. The name of that city is Venice, and it is different from every other city in the world.

Venice is a group of 118 small islands. The islands are c1. to each other by bridges. Venice is unique because it doesn't have any streets at all. In fact, Venice doesn't even have any cars or buses. Instead of streets, Venice has canals. Instead of driving in cars, the people ride in boats.

Because Venice doesn't have any cars, the feeling there is very different. You don't need to worry about traffic, and you don't hear engines or honking horns. Plus, since there are no cars, there is very little p2..

Venice has changed very l3. in the last 600 years. A lot of visitors who go there feel like they are entering the past. When you see the old churches, the silent boats and the stone bridges, you will probably have that feeling y4..

Many of the buildings in Venice are from the Renaissance. The Renaissance was a time w5. there are many artists, writers and poets all over Europe. Some of the world's best art was made during the Renaissance. You can see that art when you look at the city's buildings.

One of Venice's most famous spots is St. Mark's Square. This square has three things to see. The first is St. Mark's Basilica. This is the most famous church in Venice, and it's more than 1,000 years old. Doge's Palace is about 600 years old. Today it's a museum, and it's one of Venice's top a6.. On the north side of the square is 500-year-old building called the Clock Tower. It was built to show visitors the wealth of Venice.

Venice is like no other city in the world. It's a l7. museum. And visiting it is an experience that you will never forget.
