No. Parents arent rational because 36 isnt rational. Young people can understand this about romantic love, but they find it hard to 37 this element (元素) in parental love. My eldest daughters 38 the other day brought this up. “Let me ask you something, Dad,” she began in a tone of patiently controlled 39 that every experienced parent knows. “I sailed around the Mediterranean in a yacht (游艇) when I was seventeen,” she said. “I hiked through the Pyrenees from Spain to Paris. Ive done rock climbing and deep-sea diving and slept in rainforests in the jungle of Indonesia. Right?” “Right,” I said, “So 40 ?” “So this,” she went on. “When I go to the corner drugstore to pick up some shampoo, why do you always tell me to be 41 when I cross the street?” There is no 42 answer a parent can give to this. All I could mumble (嘟囔) in 43 was that when I was 50, my mother would 44 me not to drive too fast. If I were 80 and she were still alive, I would be getting the 45 warning. No matter the 46 , a child is a child. There is something else, too, that children find it hard to 47 . When they are far away, there is nothing we can do about their 48 .

The first-ever spacewalk by former Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, 50 years ago on March 18, was also the first big test of space suit technology. The old Soviet-style space suit was not quite ready yet, however. It was affected by the lack of atmospheric (大气的) pressure in space. When Leonov had completed his space walk, he realized that his space suit “had inflated (膨胀) like a balloon, preventing him from getting back inside the spacecraft”, according to the BBC. The cosmonaut let half of the air out of his spacesuit and survived despite losing oxygen. Nowadays, of course, this type of incident does not happen. But the problem of what to wear in space is still important, as space travel may soon be available to more people than ever. In 2021, Space X and Boeing may become the first private companies to put people in space. What should the new, rich space travelers wear? Well, their outfits (服装) wont be like the white, boxy suits in the film Gravity. Those types of extra-vehicular (飞船外的) activity (EVA) suits will be for professionals working outside a spacecraft. The average space traveler will instead need something to wear inside in case of an emergency when getting up and down again in a rocket or during docking. These are called IVA (intra-vehicular activity) pressure suits, which should be effective, comfortable, and perhaps even fashionable. The best-known example is the orange “pumpkin suit” made famous by NASA, but more fashionable options may later be available. In fact, fashion and space have been together for years. The first space suits for the Apollo moon program were built by Playtex, an underwear maker, and the company still works with NASA. Nowadays in Brooklyn, New York there is a company called Final Frontier Design that makes the latest in space suit technology. All of their staff have backgrounds in show business (演艺界), making Broadway musical and circus (马戏团) costumes. They are currently looking to introduce their space tech, like vibrating (振动的) belts that can give directions by feel, to people on Earth. The walk into unknown space fashion is just beginning. How would you show off in space?56. According to the article, todays space travelers have different experiences to that of Alexei Leonov because _.A. they have to perform space walks for long periodsB. todays space suits are much safer and more convenientC. they are provided with extra oxygen to survive in spaceD. they can wear their own outfits on space missions57. The phrase “this type of incident” in Paragraph 3 refers to situations in which astronauts _.A. fail their space walk missionsB. put on the wrong space suitC. have trouble with their space suitsD. forget the correct operating procedures58. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the space suits that will be made for private companies space travelers in the near future?A. They will be intended for tough working conditions outside a spacecraft.B. They will have to be orange.C. They will be very heavy and expensive despite their fashionable look.D. They will be created with the help of artists and designers.59.What is the best title of the passage?A. Fashion comes to space.B. Space travel exploration becomes more popular.C. What happened to Alexei Leonov 50 years ago?D. How space suits work?B WHEN my brother Joe was 6 months old, my mother brought him home from the hospital and told me to watch him while she fixed supper. We started playing a game I called “dogs”, rolling on the floor like pups (小狗). Then I looked up and saw my mother watching us. She was crying. “Hes blind,” she said. “The doctor told me today.” I looked at Joe. He was laughing. “He cant be blind,” I said. “He smiles at my face.” “He smiles at your voice,” she said. “Hell never see your face.” That was that. Joe was blind. Mama went back to cooking. I went back to playing a dog. From the age of 8, Joe boarded at a school for the deaf and the blind, learning to read Braille. When he was 16, the school said hed learned enough and sent him home with a Braille typewriter. At 21, Joe moved out to live on his own, he said, “like a man,” in an apartment 30 miles (48 km) away. He learned to cook, clean, do his own laundry, and do almost anything else he needed. Then he met the love of his life. She, too, was blind. When Joe called to tell me, he said: “Even a blind man can fall in love at first sight.” They shared 10 good years before he lost her to cancer. Painfully soon after, he also lost our mother, who was his champion, and our stepfather, who was Joes best friend. What is left when you lose the loves of your life? My brother clung with an iron fist (拳头) to three gifts: Faith, hope and love. His faith grew stronger. He always had hope. And his love for his family has never gotten weaker, despite death or disappointment. Loved ones leave, but love remains. The years ahead may prove to be his hardest. His legs are growing weaker, threatening to take away the independence hes fought so hard to keep. My sister and I often wonder what will happen if
