26、How is dining in space different from eating on Earth?
Spacesuits? Check! Oxygen? Check! Water? Check! Are we forgetting something? Food! If you send astronauts into space, you have to send along food as well. But what do astronauts eat, and how do they eat it? 【1】
First, and possibly most important, is nutrition (营养). Maintaining the astronauts' physical health is a top task for any space mission. Providing junk foods to eat, such as potato chips, sodas, and pizza, would make the astronauts feel unhealthy.
【2】 If the food that has been provided is distasteful, then the astronauts may avoid eating it. If you've ever tried to concentrate on something important while your stomach doesn't feel well, you'll know why the scientists in charge of a space mission want their astronauts to eat regularly.
The lack of gravity in a spacecraft also determines what foods can or cannot be eaten in space. Meals must be packaged carefully so they won't spill into the cabin. Liquids or tiny bits of food could get inside a machine or electronic device and damage it.【3】 A loose knife bouncing (弹起) around inside the cabin would be dangerous.
【4】 The weight of every object included in a spacecraft must be calculated in order to ensure that there is enough fuel and power to carry the craft safely into space and home again. 【5】 Most foods are stored in plastic bags, and often, the foods are dehydrated (脱水).When an astronaut is ready to eat, hot water is added to rehydrate the meal and warm it up.
Despite all these requirements, much of the food eaten in space is actually similar to what you might eat on any given day.
A.Variety and taste are also important.
B.Finally, weight is an important concern.
C.Food packaging is made to be as light as possible.
D.Believe it or not, they also have fresh fruits and vegetables.
E.Nutrition and practicality are important things to consider.
F.For the same reason sharp utensils are never used onboard.
G.Scientists take several factors into consideration as they plan meals for space.
27、People around the world are superstitious about numbers; even those ancient Greeks believed that all numbers and their multiples had some mystical significance.
Those numbers between 1 and 13 were in particular to have a powerful influence over the affairs of men.
For example, it is commonly said that luck, good or bad, comes in threes; if an accident happens, two more of the same kind may be expected soon afterwards. The arrival of a letter will be followed by two others within a certain period.
Another belief involving the number three has it that it is unlucky to light three cigarettes from the one match. If this happens, the bad luck that goes with the deed falls upon the person whose cigarette was the last to be lit. The ill-men linked to the lighting of three things from one match or candle goes back to at least the 17th century and probably earlier. It was believed that three candles alight at the same time would be sure to bring bad luck; one, two, or four, were permissible, but never just three.
Seven was another significant number, usually regarded as a bringer of good luck. The ancient astrologers believed that the universe was governed by seven planets; students of Shakespeare will recall that the life of man was divided into seven ages. Seven horseshoes nailed to a house will protect it from all evil.
Nine is usually thought of as a lucky number because it is the product of three times three. It was much used by the Anglo Saxons in their charms for healing.
Another belief was that great changes occurred every 7th and 9th of a man's life. Consequently, the age of 63 (the product of nine and seven) was thought to be a very perilous time for him. If he survived his 63rd year he might hope to live to a ripe old age.
Thirteen, as we well know, is regarded with great awe and fear. The common belief is that this derives from the fact that there were 13 people at Christ's Last Supper. This being the eve of his betrayal, it is not difficult to understand the significance given to the number by the early Christians.
In more modern times 13 is an especially unlucky number of a dinner party, for example. Hotels will avoid numbering a floor the 13th; the progression is from 12 to 14, and no room is given the number 13. Many home owners will use 12 1/2 instead of 13 as their house number.
Yet oddly enough, to be born on the 13th of the month is not regarded with any fear at all, which just shows how irrational we are in our superstitious beliefs.
【1】What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. If one good thing happens, two bad things will follow it.
B. If one bad thing happens, two good things will follow it.
C. If one good thing happens, two more good things will follow it.
D. Three good things and three bad things always come together.
【2】According to the passage, which of the following groups of numbers will certainly bring good luck to people?
A. 3 and 7. B. 7 and 9. C. 3 and 9. D. 3 and 13.
【3】What does the underlined word perilous in paragraph 7 mean ________.
A. dangerous B. instable C. unlucky D. unhealthy
【4】The ill luck associated with 13 is supposed to have its origin in ________.
A. legend B. popular belief C. religion D. certain customs
28、 We often concentrate on building relationships with others but we forget the essential first step: being friends of ourselves. That is the extremely important first step if we are to have good relationships with others. 【1】
Forgive yourself.
You may have made mistakes in the past, but is there anything you can do about them? I don’t think so, except learning from them. Maybe you are not perfect, but neither are we. 【2】 So do yourself a favor by giving yourself forgiveness.
Focus on your strengths.
【3】 You always have some strengths which give you a unique combination nobody else has. Recognize your strengths and build your life around them.
Write your success stories.
One reason why we may not like ourselves is that we are so focused on what we don’t have that we forget about what we have. So make a list of your achievements; write your success stories. They do not have to be big things. 【4】 For example, if you have some good friends, that’s already an achievement. If you have a good family, that is also an achievement.
Stop comparing yourself with others.
You are unique. You can never be like other people, and neither can other people be like you. The way you measure your success is not determined by other people and what they achieve. Instead, it is determined by your own life purpose. You have everything you need to achieve your life purpose, so it’s useless to compare yourself with others.
【5】
You don’t like other people lying to you, right? Similarly, you won’t like yourself if you know that you lie to yourself. Whether you realize it or not, that gives your mind a reason not to like yourself. That’s why it’s important to always be true to yourself. In whatever you do, be honest and follow your conscience.
A.Always be true to yourself.
B.Accept things you can’t change.
C.It’s normal to make mistakes.
D.Here are some tips to being friends of ourselves.
E.Instead of focusing on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths.
F.There are a lot of small but important achievements in our life.
G.You might be disappointed with yourself on why you could make such mistakes.

31、Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Donald Trump 【1】 his place as the United States’ 45th president after crossing the 270 electoral vote threshold(门槛) on November 9. The 70-year-old Republican will take over from Barack Obama, a two-term president to occupy the White House.
The rise of Trump, a celebrity businessman with no previous experience in the 【2】 or elected office, surprised nearly everyone in politics. Trump’s victory over Clinton will end eight years of Democratic 【3】 of the White House. He will govern with Congress fully under Republican control and lead a country deeply 【4】 by his campaign against Clinton. Given the numerous Republicans who never backed him, Trump will have to face divisions within his own party, too.
As he claimed victory, Trump urged Americans to “come together as one united people.” “I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans,” he said in his victory speech. Striking a 【5】 tone, Trump continued that he would ask a few of those who had chosen not to support him for 【6】 and help so that “we can work together and unify our great country.”
As president, Trump’s government agenda remains unclear. The president-elect has promised to bring changes to the United States. He said he would build a wall along the U.S-Mexico border to stop immigrants from coming into the country 【7】, suspend immigration from countries with ties to terrorist groups, and 【8】 with foreign governments such as those of Russia and China. Trump has also promised to prioritize the economic growth that creates jobs and 【9】 incomes for all Americans.
Trump is a wild card, many voters said, but he definitely has a chance to be a successful president as long as he recognizes the responsibilities he 【10】 and follows through on his promises.
