Every morning you get up, wash your face, brush your teeth, eat breakfast and get ready for your day. The
daily actions are so common that you don’t think about them much. But what if you were in space?
When astronauts(宇航员) are in space, they eat, sleep, wash, work and play. They do the same things as us,
but they do them differently.
On Earth, we put food on a plate and water in a glass. Gravity(引力) holds the food down and keeps the water
in the glass. But in space, there is almost no gravity. So food can move slowly in the air, and astronauts must eat
and drink carefully. They have special plates so that their food doesn’t float away. They use special bags for drinks
so that the drink stays inside.
Sleeping is very difficult in space. Some astronauts like to move in the air, but most like to be in a sleeping
bag. They tie the bags to a wall so that they don’t fly in the air at night. The sun rises and sets so often that the
astronauts use a clock or music to wake them up.
Exercise is very important in space. On Earth, your legs carry your body, but in space, astronauts fly in the air,
so they do not use their legs. This is very bad for their legs. So they must exercise for thirty minutes every day.
They often use an exercise bicycle for this.
After a day’s work, astronauts relax. They may listen to music, read, watch films, play games, or talk to their
friends and families on radio. The most popular pastime is looking out of the window, looking at the space and
watching the Earth.

Imagine this: your parents go away on business, but you have to stay at home alone. Would life be as easy as
when your parents are around? Would it be a perfect holiday for you?
“I can fill an empty stomach with tomato and egg soup, but that’s all. I think many of my classmates are the
same. We wouldn’t know what to do, or how to look after ourselves,” said Zheng Chenyu.“And I’d forget
something important. I’d probably watch television and burn the soup.” “The moment I leave home, I’ll learn to
cook. But now parents do almost everything for us. We’re very lazy,” she said.
Most teenagers have only time for their homework. (1)They don’t learn any life skills until they go to college.
However, Sima Yige doesn’t think so. “I think I’d be all right. I wouldn’t just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know
how to cook some simple dishes because my mum showed me,” the 13-year-old boy said. In his opinion, many
teenagers (2)过分依赖 their parents, and there is much more to learn than cooking, like “tidying up your room or
even dressing yourself properly”.
For most teenagers, it wouldn’t be a holiday at all.

（十三）A small bee flying from flower to flower is very important to the world. Bees pollinate (对……授粉) the
crops and help them grow.
Now billions of bees all over the world are dying, and no one really knows why. This is a disaster (灾难) for
the world. Many things would change without bees.
Thousands of bees have flown away from their hives and disappeared.
Scientists and beekeepers are trying to solve the mystery ( 谜 ) of the disappearing bees .
Some scientists have examined dead bees. They have found that the bees are not very healthy at all. Scientists
think that one reason bees are dying is because of mites. Mites are tiny insects that cling onto bees. The mites can
make the bees get sick and die. Mites can destroy a whole beehive. Some scientists think that bees are disappearing
because they have been poisoned (中毒). Farmers spray their crops to kill insects that are eating the plants. These
sprays can make bees sick. Bees also may not be getting enough food to stay strong. Climate change might mean
the flowers open before the bees have woken from their winter sleep. Then the bees don’t get that nectar (花蜜) and
pollen that they need.
It’s very hard for scientists to find out why bees are dying all over the world. Most bees die away from their
hives. So scientists don’t have a dead body to look at for clues.
It is very important for scientists to learn about how healthy bees are.
Everything must be done to ________ the bees in trouble.
