Here are some examples.First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny ballet (芭蕾) dancer. “I'm an inside guy，” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Statio n. “I like to be wrapped up.”On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it's just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon-dioxide you exhale (呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible (隐形的) cloud around your head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat. “Your inner ear thinks you're falling. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you're standing straight. That can be annoying — that's why some people feel sick.” Within a couple of days — truly terrible days for some — astronauts' brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. That's why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronaut healthy. NASA is worried about two things: recovery time once astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.1．What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?A．Deciding on a proper sleep position.B．Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag.C．Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly.D．Finding a right time to go to sleep.2．The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when ________.A．they circle around on their bikesB．they use microcomputers without a stopC．they exercise in one place for a long timeD．they watch a movie while pedaling3．Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because ________.A．their senses stop workingB．they have to stand up straightC．they float out of their seats unexpectedlyD．their brains receive contradictory messages4．One of NASA's major concerns about astronauts is ________.A．how much exercise they do on the stationB．how they can remain healthy for long in spaceC．whether they can recover after returning homeD．whether they are able to go back to the stationⅥ.短文改错Last weekend, I helped my grandparents prepare for our trip to Beidaihe. On Saturday morning, together with my grandparents, I searched for the Internet for the train schedule, the weather in Beidaihe, and some hotel informations. In the afternoon, I went to the train station and manage to buy two tickets for my grandparents but there was a long queue. After dinner, I packed into the suitcase which my grandparents would need, such as clothes, glasses, a umbrella, and a map. The next morning, I went to the station see them off. Waved goodbye to them on the platform, I felt happy for them and wished them a safety journey.课下能力提升(十二)Ⅰ.1.a 2.to discuss 3.of 4.into 5.outⅡ.1.(to) lay out 2.try out 3.were carried out 4.cut out 5.sticking out 6.made outⅢ.1.in order to; in order that 2.where/in which 3.so that it wouldn't get brokenⅣ.语篇解读：本文讲述的是英语的起源及其他的语言对英语的影响。

Study authors Christophe Barbrand and Henry Weimerskirch attribute this later breeding activity to decrease in sea ice caused by climate change.The researchers say the disappearing sea ice, combined with a longer sea-ice season, has interfered with the birds' breeding cycle by reducing the amount of krill (磷虾) and other prey (猎物) available in early spring in Antarctica.Because Antarctica's seasons are opposite those in the Northern Hemisphere, spring on the icy continent begins in October.The study is based on data collected at seabird colonies between 1950 and 2004 in Adélie Land, on the eastern edge of the frozen continent.The findings were published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Of the nine species studied, some arrived up to 30 days later than they had in previous years.Despite much later arrivals, the birds are laying their eggs at pretty much the same time as they had in the past.In the most extreme cases, birds were laying their eggs an average of 3.7 days later in the season than they were 50 years ago.1. What is the passage mainly about?A．Seabirds are breeding later in East Antarctica.B．The amount of krill in the ocean has decreased.C．The weather in Antarctica has changed.D．The spring in Antarctica is beginning later.2．In which of the following months is it autumn in Antarctica?A．October.B．September.C．November. D．June.3．How many kinds of seabirds were studied by the researchers?A．Two. B．Five.C．Nine. D．Thirty.4．What does the underlined word “attribute”in Para.1 mean?A．It means “contribute”. B．It means “cause”．C．It means “owe”. D．It means “devote”．Ⅵ.任务型阅读Tips for taking care of friendshipsSome people are meant to come and go from your lives quickly.

Study authors Christophe Barbrand and Henry Weimerskirch attribute this later breeding activity to decrease in sea ice caused by climate change.The researchers say the disappearing sea ice,combined with a longer sea-ice season,has interfered with the birds'breeding cycle by reducing the amount of krill（磷虾）and other prey（猎物）available in early spring in Antarctica.Because Antarctica's seasons are opposite those in the Northern Hemisphere,spring on the icy continent begins in October.The study is based on data collected at seabird colonies between1950and2004in Adelie Land,on the eastern edge of the frozen continent.The findings were published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Of the nine species studied,some arrived up to30days later than they had in previous years.Despite much later arrivals,the birds are laying their eggs at pretty much the same time as they had in the past.In the most extreme cases,birds were laying their eggs an average of3.7days later in the season than they were50years ago.1.What is the passage mainly about?A.Seabirds are breeding later in East Antarctica.B.The amount of krill in the ocean has decreased.C.The weather in Antarctica has changed.D.The spring in Antarctica is beginning later.2.In which of the following months is it autumn in Antarctica?A.October.B.September.C.November.D.June.3.How many kinds of seabirds were studied by the researchers?A.Two.B.Five.C.Nine.D.Thirty.4.What does the underlined word"attribute''in Para.1mean?A.It means"contribute".B.It means"cause"・C.It means"owe".D.It means“devote".VI.任务型阅读Tips for taking care of friendshipsSome people are meant to come and go from your lives quickly.Other friends may grow with you as your life changes.One way to keep friendships of any level strong is to take good care of them.Send handwritten notesJust find a note card,write something by hand,and then mail it.l.Since electronic communication is becoming popular these days,a handwritten note can really make an impression.Be active in contacting friendsMany people call up friends only when they need something.The problem with this is it makes it look as if you don't really care about your friends. 2.Regularly check in with your friends so they know you are sincere.Call up friendsElectronic communication is great,but there is nothing like hearing your friend's voice to give you a lift.Make a point to call up friends and check in with them.3.Just a few minutes every month can make a difference in your friendship.Give meaningful giftsPut some thought into the gifts you give a friend. 4.In fact,often the smallest but most thoughtful ones are the biggest hit.5."People who argue from time to time actually have healthier friendships than those who never discuss their points of conflict.Learn how to argue in a healthy way and work through the issues in your friendship.A.Talk things outB.Get together with friendsC.The phone calls don't have to be long.D.The presents don't have to be large or expensive.E.This will really stand out in your friend's mailbox.F.Discuss your issues with the goal of making your relationship healthier.G.Remember to call up friends or send an email to see how they are doing.课下能力提升（一）I.l.on 2.up 3.nothing 4.to abuse 5.of 6.forII.1.had nothing to do with 2.Based on 3.are bent on 4.came out 5.has been on the run 6.was eager toIII.1.dislike it when 2.make himself heard 3.would rather;thanIV.1.解析：选C根据语境可知，Max正在接受治疗。
