We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.

       The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.

       Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.

       I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intention.

       But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.

       I said, “What are you doing, my dear?”

       She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?”

       I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.

       Now, whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.

1. The underlined expression ‘make a big “to do” over’ (paragraph 4) means ____.

A. show much concern about               B. have a special effect on

C. list jobs to be done for                           D. do good things for

2. The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her ____.

A. young age         B. lovely smile              C. pretty clothes            D. beautiful hair

3 .Kristen felt sad and cried because ____.

A. the guest gave her more coats to carry           

B. the guests praised her sister more than her

C. her mother didn’t introduce her to the guests  

D. she didn’t look as pretty as Kelly

4. We can conclude from the passage that ____.

A. parents should pay more attention to the elder children

B. the younger children are usually more easily hurt

C. people usually like the younger children more

D. adults should treat children equally

As you may expect, life in space is much different from life on earth. So of course people need some time to get used to it. How do they live, work and play up there?

       Space food keeps getting more like the food we eat at home on the earth. In the past, astronauts could eat only freeze-dried food. But now the space station has water, microwave ovens and fridges. So astronauts can eat more usual kinds of food, like fruit, vegetables and ice cream!

       All people in the ISS(国际空间站)have their own rooms. There’s no gravity, so they have to attach themselves to their beds, or they’ll float away! That may seem like a hard way to sleep, but astronauts say that sleeping in space is actually not too bad.

       This is more important in space than on Earth. There’s not much gravity in space. Astronauts don’t stand up, sit down or walk in space, so their muscles don’t have to work much. They exercise on bikes and other machines for about two hours every day while they’re in space. In this way, they can still keep strong and healthy when they get back home.

       Easy things like brushing your teeth can be hard in space with low gravity. Water doesn’t flow out of a tap, it floats in a bubble(水泡)! Astronauts used a special hose(软管)to take showers. And when they’re finished, they use a vacuum(真空的)hose to suck the dirty water off of their bodies. How do you go to the toilet in space? They use a special “air toilet”. It uses air, not water, to take everything away.

       What do astronauts do when they aren’t working? They read books, play cards, listen to music or send e-mail to their friends and family. Sometimes they just sit and look out the window. Doesn’t sound like much fun? But what if you could see planet Earth out of your window, with a sunset or sunrise every 45 minutes?

1. Which of the following can be the title of this passage?

       A. Life In Space.    B. Space Food.      C. Showers In Space.     D. A Visit To Space

2.From this passage we know that _______.

       A. astronauts eat quite different food in space from what they eat on the earth

       B. astronauts ate only fruit in space in the past

       C. astronauts can only eat freeze-dried food now

       D. astronauts can only eat fruit and vegetables now

3.Astronauts attach themselves to bed so as to ________.

       A. keep themselves warm                                  B. prevent themselves from floating away

       C. have a good sleep                                         D. feel better

4.Astronauts have to do exercise for two hours every day because ________.

       A. they have nothing to do in space             B. they are told to do so

       C. they do so to keep healthy                      D. they do so to prevent them from sleeping

5.From the last paragraph we can guess that ________.

       A. the sun moves fast around the earth 

       B. the earth circles round the sun very fast

       C. the earth is very small

       D. the spaceship circles round the earth once every 90 imnutes
