     The dinosaurs suddenly died out. What happened to them? Scientists thought that a change in temperature
may be the reason. They have come up with lots of ideas to explain the end of the dinosaurs.
     The most famous one is the minor planet (小行星) idea. Everything Was OK before a large minor planet
suddenly hit the earth. What a terrible hit! It caused big fires, storms, acid rain, and even earthquakes and
volcano eruptions. The hit produced a lot of dust, which flew up into the air and blocked the sun for months.
The earth became very cold without sunlight. The plants died first. Then the grass-eating animals died of
hunger. Then the meat-eating animals could not find food either. They began to eat each other, but after a
while they died out too. The dinosaurs, either plant-eaters or meat-eaters, did not live through the disaster (灾
难). What a sad story!
     In April, a British scientist thought of a new idea about the death of the dinosaurs. He thinks that after the
minor planet hit the earth, the temperature change left more dinosaur boys than girls! Without enough female
dinosaurs to hatch (孵) the eggs, the dinosaur population be-came smaller and smaller.

Eating in space is different from eating on the earth. The food that astronauts carry with them does not look like the food you eat.

Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it. All the water is removed from the food. In the spaceship, the astronaut puts the water back. He “shoots” hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun. He eats the food through a small hole in the bag.

Other foods come in bite sizes. The astronaut puts a whole piece in his mouth at once. There can be no crumbs. Crumbs would float around the spaceship and get in the way. Meat and cakes often come in bite-size pieces.

Astronauts cannot drink water from open cups. The water would float in drops in the spaceship. The water is put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth.

1.Some food carried in the closed bags by astronauts is ________.

A. cooked and frozen B. full of water C. raw

2.Astronauts can’t drink from open cups because__________.

A. the water would float in drops around the spaceship
