Astronauts aboard the space station celebrated a space first on Wednesday by drinking water that had been recycled from their urine(尿), sweat and water got from air. They said "cheers," clicked drinking bags and toasted NASA workers on the ground.
The urine recycling system is needed for astronaut stations on the moon and Mars. It also will have NASA money because it won’t have to ship up as much water to the station by space shuttles or cargo rockets. Besides, it’s important as the space station is about to expand from three people living on board to six.
The recycling system had been brought up to the space station last November by space shuttles Endeavour, but it couldn’t be used until samples(样品) were tested back on earth. So when it came time to actually drink up, NASA made a big deal of it. The three-man crew stood holding their drinks and congratulated engineers in two NASA centres that worked on the system.
“This is something that had been the stuff of science fiction,” American astronaut Michael Barratt said before taking a small mouthful. “The taste is worth trying.”
The new system takes the combined urine of the crew from the toilet, moves it to a big tank, where the water is boiled off, and the vapor(水蒸气) is collected. The rest of the urine is thrown away. Then the water vapor is mixed with water from air, and then it goes through filters (过滤器). When six crew members are aboard it can make about six gallons from urine in about six hours.
“Some people may find the idea of drinking recycled urine distasteful, but it is also done on earth, but with a lot longer time between urine and the tap,” said Marybeth Edeen, the space station’s national lab manager.
The technology NASA developed for this system has already been used for quick water purification after the 2004 Asian tsunami.

写作。
     阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
     I have a friend Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (牧马场) in San Ysidro. When he
was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
The next day he handed it in to the teacher. On the front was a large red F. He asked, "Why did I
receive an F?"
    The teacher said, "This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money.
You come from an itinerant(四处奔波的)family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch
requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding
stock and later you'll have to pay large stud (种马) fees. There's no way you could ever do it."
    He stated, "You can keep the F and I'll keep my dream."
   The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same school teacher brought 30 kids
to camp out on Monty's ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, "Look, Monty,
I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During
those years I stole a lot of kids' dreams. Fortunately you had enough belief not to give up on yours."
