Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a mouse in space? Recently, four special mice completed  1 
 
   
   
extraordinary mission aboard China’s space station alongside the Shenzhou-XXI astronaut crew. Far from ordinary 
lab mice, these little    2    (pioneer) were carefully selected through a series of fun but challenging tests. The 
first stage assessed physical fitness, with the mice    3    (place) on a specially designed “exercise bike”, where 
they had to maintain their position    4    a set duration. The next challenge focused on motion sickness    5  
(resist). Using a two-dimensional rotating (旋转) device, researchers helped the mice adapt to conditions    6    could 
cause space motion sickness. Ultimately, the four best-performing mice earned their “boarding passes” to space.
Inside the space station, the mice lived in a specially designed home with    7    (comfort) temperatures and 
cozy shelter nests. Cameras showed them actively climbing, eating space food, and    8    (curious) exploring 
their new environment — floating included!
These tiny astronauts are helping scientists understand how living in space    9    (affect) living beings. 
Since mice share many genes with humans, studying their adaptation in space brings us closer to answering big 
questions: Can humans live in space for a long time? How does zero gravity change our bodies? After their space 
mission, the mice returned safely to Earth,     10     (bring) back valuable data.

after about 28 minutes,    4     (produce) a plate of sizzling, space-made New Orleans chicken wings. Wang Jie

soon shared among the six astronauts,    6     faces beamed with delight.
The space oven has been    7     (significant) upgraded compared with the ovens on Earth. The oven 
underwent strict testing to ensure they meet the space station’s access conditions and can operate continuously and 
reliably for up to 500     8     (cycle). Liu Weibo, who was from the China Astronaut Research and Training 
Center, said that after spending several months in the space station,     9    (be) able to enjoy delicious chicken 
wings and steaks, or freshly baked peanuts and bread prepared by themselves, would surely bring the astronauts a

Since I moved to China in September 2024, I’ve found exactly what I was looking for when I left Italy: a 
change — one most evident in daily life    1    , surprisingly, in how people get around. Coming to China isn’t 
quite like landing on the moon, but if you’re looking for a destination offering a new and alternative insight into life, 
then China is the very place    2    (be).
China is ENORMOUS. Thanks to its remarkable public transport system, travelling from one place to another

Qingdao, then Beijing, only to realize later that a direct bullet train would have been faster than flying! This is just 
one example of    7    China’s transport can surprise you. 
Chinese roads are equally impressive, with around 190, 000 kilometres of modern expressways, which is 
enough to circle    8    globe nearly FIVE TIMES! No wonder that Chinese public transport system    9    (see) as a 
potential new wonder of the world. 
But to fully appreciate the system, you have to experience it firsthand. Travelling by train is almost like going 
through an airport with security     10     (check) and service classes comparable to those offered by the world’s 
top airlines — faster, smoother and often more efficient.
