Can women be good astronauts?To figure it out,six Russian women will be sent into a space simulator(模擬器) for eight days to carry out a unique experiment.
   "It's interesting for us to see what is special about the way they communicate with each other,"said Sergei Ponomaryov,the experiment's leader.
   " It will be particularly interesting in terms of psychology," said Igor Ushakov,director of Moscow's Institute of Biomedical Problems. "I'd like to wish you a lack of conflicts,even though they say that in one kitchen,two housewives find it hard to live together," he added.
   The volunteers include scientific researchers,a doctor and a psychologist.The test period simulates a flight to the moon and back,with the women carrying out 10 experiments covering psychology and human biology.
   In 1963,Russia sent the first woman into space,Valentina Tereshkova,but has lagged behind (落后) since then.Several years ago it sent its fourth female astronaut into space,Yelena Serova.Serova complained of a great deal of media interest in how she would wash her hair aboard the International Space Station,pointing out that male astronauts did not face the same line of questioning.
   Like other astronauts on the International Space Station,the women will have no shower,washing with wet wipes instead.They plan to spend their one and a half hours per day of free time watching films,reading and playing board games.Team leader Yelena Luchnitskaya said she expected the women to deal with any conflict.

  • 1.The British are known for their sense of humour.However,it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes.The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
       Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.For example,if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain,he might say. "It's a little damp(潮濕的)outside." Or,if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person,someone else might say, "She isn't exactly friendly." Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly.Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
       Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street.They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society.They like to make jokes about their accents,the way they dress and the way they behave.What's more,the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society.The comedy series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humour.Mr Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990.
       Mr Bean doesn't talk often,and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh.Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do.Mr Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour.Because of this,many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.

    (1)Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?

    A.The British often enlarge the fad.

  • 2.Every year,thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local art museums.But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life?A new report suggests that the answer is yes—and finds that arts-based museum programs are credited with changing the course of alumni's(畢業(yè)生的)lives,even years after the fact.
       The Whitney Museum of American Art,the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art,Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are.They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s.Alumni,whose current ages range from 18 to 36,were invited to find out how they viewed their participation years after the fact.
       Among the alumni surveyed,75 percent of them thought the teen art program experience had the most favorable impact on their own lives,beating the family,school and their neighborhoods.Nearly 55 percent thought that it was one of the most important experiences they'd ever had,regardless of age.And two-thirds said that they were often in situations where their experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts.
       It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens enthusiastic about culture even after they reach adulthood:Ninety-six percent of participants had visited an art museum within the last two years,and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years.Thirty-two percent of alumni work in the arts as adults.
       Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen-specific art programs in museums,it reflects other research on the important benefits of engaging with the arts.A decade of surveys by the National Endowment for the Arts found that the childhood experience with the arts is significantly associated with people's income and educational attainments(成就)as adults.Other studies have linked arts education to everything from lower dropout rates to improvement in critical thinking skills.

    (1)Why were the researchers asked to conduct the study?

    A.To change the course of alumni's lives.
    B.To introduce the art museums.
    C.To find out how effective the long-standing teen art programs are.
    D.To invite people to participate in the art programs.
    (2)What do the figures in Paragraph 3 show?

    A.Students are more influenced by the family and school.
    B.Teen art programs in museums are highly beneficial.
    C.Many teens fail to realize the great value of art programs.
    D.Most experiences in museums are boring for today's teens.
    (3)What does Paragraph 4 tell us about art programs?

    A.They create adults who are culturally aware.
    B.They are intended to attract more adults.
    C.They are designed to support art museums.
    D.They provide many job opportunities for adults.
    (4)What do the studies mentioned in the last paragraph have in common?

    A.All suggest the need to improve museum programs.
    B.All show the growing popularity of art programs.
    C.All focus on the link between art and education.
    D.All prove the good effects of art education.

  • 3.The number of people in my house has grown from six to seven recently.A young man from Spain has come to spend six weeks with us.He is not an ordinary young man;he's actually my second cousin,and is here to spend time with this side of the family,and of course,to learn English.
       Thankfully,he is the same age as my youngest son,and is very fun-loving.I'm sure that he will pick up a lot of English while he plays with my kids.That was actually how I picked up a lot of Spanish when I was a child.My mother would take me to Mallorca in Spain,to spend about a month in the summers.Because children play so much,and are less inhibited(拘束的)than adults,they absorb language like little sponges (海綿).Well,that's what happened to me,and I'm very thankful for the experience.
       So far,we have taken my cousin to Seattle for a couple of days,and down to a local river to look for gold.Today,I plan on taking him to the museum in the town of Cashmere which is excellent.He will get his first view of Native American life,and be able to walk through some of the original pioneer houses of this area.Like most boys who are thirteen,he is very curious and constantly asks questions.Of course,I don't always have the answers!Coming to the U.S.is a big step for him,especially being so young.Mind you,he is a world traveller.His mother is an air hostess and is able to get cheap airline tickets,so they travel internationally all the time.So he is extremely comfortable in airports,and understands the routines of getting from one place to another.I hope that his being here will encourage my children to spend time in Spain,and also become international travellers.

    (1)Why does the young man come to America?

    A.To spend the summer holiday.

    A.Helpful.
    B.Boring.
    C.Unnecessary.
    D.Unimportant.
    (4)What can we know from the last paragraph?

    A.The young man's mother is a pilot.
