This year,we saw six Chinese astronauts go to space. Some of them have had spacewalks. Spacewalks can be dangerous. There is harmful radiation (辐射)and there is no air at the space station. Thanks to Feitian spacesuit (飞天太空服), astronauts can stay safe.
Let’s get to know about Feitian spacesuit. It has six layers(层). Layer 1 is the closest to astronauts’ bodies. It collects astronauts’ urine(尿液). Layer 2 to 5 help to control temperature and pressure (压力)inside the suit. Layer 6 protects astronauts from radiation. Feitian spacesuit weighs (重)more than 120 kilograms. It fits astronauts from 160 to 180 centimeters tall. Astronauts can put it on within(在...之内) 5 minutes. It can support spacewalks as long as 8 hours.
There is a camera in the suit. Astronauts can take pictures before they jump in the icy water on that day during spacewalk. There are headphones and speakers in it. Astronauts can talk to the space station.

How to beat sadness
We all have days when we are down, tired and unhappy. That’s OK. You need days like this, or how would you know you are happy? You’ll enjoy your good days even more when you have a few bad days. Even if sadness is a part of life, let’s try to make it small. Here are a few simple ways to help you feel better when you are feeling sad.
1. Stand up straight and this helps your energy flow (流动). When your energy is flowing freely, you can flow too.
2. Smile! It’s easy to do and have good results. This way can not only leave you in a good mood but also bring others a good mood.
3. Listen to music. It can be your favourite music. Some kinds of music work better than others, so try and find out what kind of music works the best for you.
4. Take some “me”time. You can find pleasure in reading a book, watching a sunrise or having a hot bath,or something like that.
5. Exercise. Even something as simple as taking a walk will get your blood flowing. It is a great way to clear your mind of anything that makes you sad.
These ways will cheer you up when you are down, but don’t just use them when you are sad. Try and practice them every day to make them a habit. You will be surprised to learn that these simple ways will keep your sadness away. But if you are in a deep depression (沮丧), go to see a doctor.
