Do women make BETTER astronauts? Russia locks an all-female crew in space simulator (太空模拟器) for eight days to find out. Six Russian women have been sent into a spaceship to begin a unique experiment testing how an all- female crew would relate to others on a trip to the Moon and back.
“It’s interesting for us to see what is special about the way a female crew communicates,” said Sergei Ponomaryov, the experiment’s leader. “it will be particularly interesting in terms of psychology,” said the institute’s director Igor Ushakov. “I’d like to wish you a lack of conflicts, even though they say that in one kitchen, two housewives find it hard to live together,” he added.
The volunteers include scientific researchers, a doctor and a psychologist. The test period simulates (模仿) a flight to the Moon and back, with the women carrying out 10 experiments covering psychology and human biology. Russia sent the first woman into space, Valentina Tereshkova, in 1963 but has fallen behind since. Last year, it sent its fourth female astronaut into space, Yelena Serova. Serava complained of a great deal of media interest in how she would wash her hair aboard the International Space Station, pointing out that male astronauts did not face the same line of questioning.
The women found themselves fielding questions at a press conference about how they would act without men or makeup for eight days, “We are very beautiful without makeup,” said participant Darya Komissarova. Her colleague Anna Kussmaul was more direct: “We are doing work. When you’re doing your work, you don’t think about men and women.” They plan to spend their 11/2 hours per day of free time watching films, reading and playing board games. Team leader Yelena Luchnitskaya said she expected the women to deal with any conflict.
1、In which column can you find this passage on a website?
A．Education. B．Entertainment.
C．Science. D．Economy.
2、What’s the purpose of the experiment?
A．To show that women can do better than men.
B．To test whether women can be good astronauts.
C．To gather information about the conditions in space.
D．To measure the distance from the earth to the moon.
3、What do we know from what Igor Ushakov said?
A．Women can not live peacefully in space at all.
B．There may be conflicts among the women astronauts.
C．The female crew will deal with each other in a new way.
D．Being in the same kitchen helps the women live together.
4、Which of the following was once sent into space?
A．Sergei Ponomarev. B．Darya Komissarova.
C．Anna Kussmaul. D．Valentina Tereshkova.

B
“Facts” That Are False

The $100 bill is the biggest bill in circulation. Although the federal government stopped printing them in 1945, currency notes of $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 are still legal tender. Most of them have been snatched up by private collectors. Between December 18, 1934, and January 9,1935, the government put out $100,000 notes. However, they were only for transactions between Federal Reserve banks and never went out to the general public.

The Sahara is the world’s largest desert. Technically, Antarctica is. The U.S. Geological Survey defines a desert as “dry land with a rainfall of usually less than ten inches per year that supports only sparse vegetation and a limited population of people and animals.” Antarctica averages only six inches of rain a year (mostly as snow) and is almost 5.5 million square miles. The Sahara is only 3.3 million square miles.

The green paste served with your sushi is wasabi. Wasabi is expensive and difficult to grow. Since it’s in the same family, most restaurants and food companies use horseradish (with food coloring) instead. Real wasabi is more complex and sweeter than what you get in a typical Japanese restaurant.

_______________________________________ The ostriches would suffocate (窒息) if they did. If an enemy is approaching, a frightened ostrich will lay its head and neck flat against the ground as a camouflage (伪装) ploy. Some human onlookers have assumed that the birds’ light-colored heads were actually in the sand.
343、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．As other bigger bills are out of print, the $100 bill is still the biggest one.
B．Antarctica with very little rainfall is considered as the largest desert.
C．Horseradish can be substituted with wasabi for the similar taste and color.
D．An ostrich often uses its head as a weapon to fight against its enemy.
1、Which of the following is the best fit for the blank?
A．Ostriches can breathe in the sand.
B．Ostriches have very smart brains.
C．Ostriches bury their heads in the sand.
D．The ostrich’s head is the lightest in the world.

I stood on my grandmother's front porch with my son. He had a bottle of bubbles. You know the 1 : it’s basically soapy water with a plastic loop on each end. You dip the loop in the bottle, pull it out, and blow it to make bubbles. My son understood the principle but was 2 trying to blow bubbles. He 3 dip and dip and blow and blow, but alas, no bubbles. He 4 me the bottle and loop and asked me, “Daddy, can you make bubbles?”
I hadn’t blown bubbles in years. I am a 5 by education, fairly well-trained in surfactant(活性剂) technology. I have 6 several shampoos, so I understand surface tension and related foaming(发泡沫)characteristics of surfactants. All that knowledge is 7 useless when trying to blow bubbles from a loop 8 with soapy water. I was having no 9 success than my son. I dipped and puffed, still no bubbles; the soapy film on the loop would just pop without 10 any bubbles.
After several fruitless 11 ,1 changed strategies. 12 puffing on the loop of soapy water, I gently 13 on it. My son screamed with delight as a big beautiful bubble formed and 14 away. He grabbed the loop, dipped and blew. No bubbles. I 15 to him, “Son, you can’t blow hard. You must ever so gently breathe on the loop to make bubbles.” He contained his urgent 16 to make big bubbles by blowing hard and 17 my advice. Big bubbles.
There are some things that you can get with 18 force, but other things like love or respect only 19 the gentleness of a soft breath. The 20 something is to higher spirit, the more it is like bubbles; it can't be forced. Blow beautiful bubbles; breathe easy.
