[课时跟踪检测]　阅读理解专项练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Emilia Dobek traces her interest in space and the universe back to third grade when she and her father watched a blood moon — a total lunar eclipse (月食) — on the roof of their house. Now a seventh grader at East Prairie Elementary School, Dobek recently won the national Discovery Education Lockheed Martin Beyond Challenge by designing a space station for travelling to Mars. She says that night watching the lunar eclipse started a strong desire in her that has yet to run out of fuel.So when her teacher Andrea Smeeton received information about the national challenge, Smeeton said she immediately had one student in mind. “I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her search，” Smeeton said.“She immediately started researching bone density (密度) of astronauts and how to have food on Mars.” “My design will ensure the safety of the astronauts but also make sure their comfort is out of this world，” Dobek says. Dobek's design calls for building the MSS or Mars Storage Station to put the supplies in.It also includes the SGF or Self-Growing Farm, and she details how it would work with the elements on Mars. Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobek's design.A simulator (模拟装置) allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual reality environment.Rooms have circular ceilings so astronauts will be able to watch downloaded shows and even see places on Earth, such as their homes. “I want to tell other kids to follow their passions，” Dobek said.“Whatever they want to do, they should push for it and always try their best.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了小学生Emilia Dobek设计火星太空站，并赢得挑战的相关内容。 1．Dobek first became interested in space when ________.
