Life in space is much different from life on the earth. How do astronauts live in space?

Eating

In the past, astronauts could eat only small pieces of dried food. But now astronauts are able to eat more everyday food like fruit, vegetables and ice cream.

Sleeping

All the people in the ISS (国际空间站) have their own rooms. They have to tie (系) themselves to their beds, or they will fly away! That seems like a strange way to sleep, but astronauts say sleeping in space is really not too bad.

Exercising

It is more important to exercise in space than on the earth. Astronauts exercise on bikes and other machines for about two hours every day. In that way, they can still be healthy when they get back to the earth.

Having fun

Astronauts can read books, play cards, listen to music or send e-mails to their friends and family members when they aren't working. Sometimes they just sit and look out of the window. It's also much fun! Astronauts are hardworking whether in space or on the earth. Though the work sometimes is difficult, they are still interested in it and love the job. Many students think astronauts' life is very interesting and they also want to be astronauts in the future.

Everybody has to eat and drink. But for most people, food is not just a matter of survival (生存). Food brings people together when they come to a dinner or a party. One way or another, food is an important part of your lifestyle. In the US, there are fast food restaurants, coffee shops and family restaurants. When you eat outside, you need to know the eating culture.

You can find McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken in many countries around the world. First, you look at the menu, and say what you would like to eat. Then, they give you the food. Next, you sit down and eat your food there or take it away. There is no need to leave a tip (小费).

In a coffee shop, you can sit at a table. The waiter usually brings you coffee when you sit down. Then you tell him what you would like to eat and he brings it to you. You pay for the food and drinks when you leave.

In a family restaurant, the waiter shows you where to sit. If you can't eat up all the food, the waiter gives you a doggy bag (剩菜袋) to take your food home. You add 15% of the bill as a tip.

We sometimes say the lion is "the king of the forest" because it is stronger and more dangerous than the other animals. It can run faster than most other animals and it can hunt other beasts (野善). It is said that the lion is the highest animal in the land food chain (食物链). In the sea, people say the shark is at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most of the other sea animals. It can also use its big teeth to catch other sea animals and eat them.

What is at the top of the world's food chain? Human beings! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented (发明) cars. We could not fight better than a lion, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the beasts.

People's inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, many years ago in Inner Mongolia, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves. The wild wolves usually eat sheep. But in recent (近来) years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming larger and larger because the number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller. The wild rabbits competed (竞争) for the grass with the sheep and the cows. Much of the grassland became desert because the grass was eaten up by the rabbits.

Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger,too!If we love animals, we are loving ourselves.

42.Which is at the top of the food chain in the sea?

A.The dolphin.           B.The shark.

C.Sea animals.           D.Fish

43.Why are people at the top of the world's food chain?

A.Because they can use guns.

B.Because they are the biggest.

C.Because they are the cleverest.

D.Because they can drive cars.

44.In what way do we say people's inventions can be sometimes dangerous?

A.They can kill a lot of wild wolves.

B.They can destroy (毁坏) the food chain,

C.They can destroy the grassland.

D.They can make wild rabbits grow bigger and bigger.

45.What is the best title for the passage?

A.People's invention

B.Lions and sharks.

C.Food chain.

D.Desert.
