Some astronauts feel sick for the first few days in space. Some feel as if they have a cold all the time. That’s because without gravity(引力), the fluids(液体) in their bodies move towards their heads. Their faces look a little fatter. 17 . And because gravity is not pressing on the spine(脊椎). The spine relaxes and stretches(舒展). 18 But when they come back on earth, they shrink(收缩) to their regular height.

The local people prefer other fruits that were known earlier to watermelons. 9 Thirdly, according to some reports, watermelons from foreign countries may not taste good. 10 Why is that? Wu Mingzhu is an 80-year-old Chinese scientist who spends her whole life on the improvement of growing better watermelons. Thanks to her hard work, we can enjoy more delicious and much cheaper watermelons. A．Firstly, China’s land area is large. B．Watermelons are my favorite fruit.

Some astronauts feel sick for the first few days in space. Some feel as if they have a cold all the time. That’s because without gravity(引力), the fluids(液体) in their bodies move towards their heads. Their faces look a little fatter. 17 . And because gravity is not pressing on the spine(脊椎). The spine relaxes and stretches(舒展). 18 But when they come back on earth, they shrink(收缩) to their regular height. Since nothing has weight, astronauts can lift heavy objects easily. 19 However, it is harder to stay still in space than to move around, so the astronauts always hold onto something or tie themselves to something. 20 A．For the same reason, their waists get smaller and their chests get bigger. B．They can even lift each other. C．There are pieces of Velcro to stick things in order to keep them from floating around. D．Your friends could still sing Happy Birthday to You.

You can answer the following two questions and find out: Do you exercise for 30 minutes every day? 6 If you answer yes to both questions, then you are an “active couch potato”. It means that even though you exercise, you could be at risk of kinds of health problems. The World Health Organization advises us to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. And this can improve our health. 7 Few researchers have tried to answer the question. Later, some Finnish scientists did new research. 8 The research studied how people move-or don’t move-during the day. The scientists found that about a third of these people exercised for half an hour, but then sat for 10 to 12 hours a day. These people were “active couch potatoes”. 9 The results tell us that if we exercise for half an hour but then sit for the rest of the day, it’s almost as if we had not exercised at all. 10 Just keep it simple. For example, we can clean our houses or climb the stairs. We can also try to do a little more exercise. In short, the goal is to sit less. So try to move more, whenever we can and in any ways that we enjoy. A．Do you like to eat snacks while watching TV? B．More than 3,700 men and women took part in it. C．The lesson from the research is that we need to move often. D．Do you spend the rest of the day sitting in front of a screen? E．But does it matter how we spend the other 23 and a half hours?
