She knows that chocolate can have a lot of fat and sugar. But Julia says she loves chocolate so much—once she starts eating it, she can’t stop. Julia isn’t the only one who loves chocolate. It is a favorite food for people all over the world. People prefer chocolate over ice cream, cakes, and cookies. The idea of eating chocolate didn’t begin until the 19th century.

King Ferdinand of Spain loved this drink so much that he put out an order: anyone who talked about chocolate outside the court(法庭)would be killed. For about 100 years, chocolate was a secret in Spain. Finally, people found out about chocolate, and it became a popular drink in Europe. Later, the Swiss mixed milk and chocolate. Today, most Americans prefer milk chocolate, while most Europeans prefer dark chocolate. New research shows that chocolate is actually good for us. “Chocolate has different kinds of vitamins,” says a researcher in France. “It has more than 300 different chemicals. People who feel good when they eat chocolate are actually healthier. Feeling pleasure is important for health and can protect against illness. ” “Good chocolate doesn’t have much fat or sugar.

After a year, he gathered（召集）them together to ask them what they had seen. The first son answered that the tree had been bare（光秃秃的）and ugly. The second son said, “No! It was covered with new green leaves. The tree had bright hopes.” The third son shook his head. He said the pear tree had been full of flowers. They smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful. “There were many pears on the tree, but no flowers,” the fourth son disagreed. “I saw the joy of a good harvest.” The man then said to his sons that they were all right. They got different answers because each of them had seen only one season in the life of the pear tree. “You cannot judge a tree, a person or your life by just one season.

I am an astronaut. I work on the International Space Station(国际空间站，缩写为ISS) as a flight engineer. Today, I will tell you something about what life is like on the ISS. The ISS has over 425 cubic meters(立方米) of living space. I work here with astronauts from the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and several other European countries. When we are on the ISS, we have to follow a detailed daily schedule. It tells us when to get up, eat, exercise, work, relax and go to sleep. We spend about two hours each day exercising. Without regular exercise, we would lose a certain amount of muscle and bone due to the microgravity (微重力) environment in space. The food we eat is specifically designed for space missions. Some foods, such as cakes, can be eaten in space just the way they are eaten on the Earth. But some other foods are real challenges. For example, when you’re in space, you can’t shake salt onto food, because the salt would float away. As a result, we have to use special liquid salt. When we are not busy doing experiments on the ISS, we can relax and have fun in a variety of ways. Like most of you, we listen to music, read books, play cards, watch movies and talk with our family members. As you can see, the microgravity environment in space brings many challenges that don’t exist on the Earth. Would you like to live for some time on the ISS? Yours sincerely, Jessica Meir 72.

For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself. She didn’t stop until she found her son. He was alive. Here in China, I met a young boy who suffers from a serious disease. He had twenty operations(手术) and spent almost his whole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and bright.

Today, I will tell you something about what life is like on the ISS. The ISS has over 425 cubic meters(立方米) of living space. I work here with astronauts from the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and several other European countries. When we are on the ISS, we have to follow a detailed daily schedule. It tells us when to get up, eat, exercise, work, relax and go to sleep. We spend about two hours each day exercising. Without regular exercise, we would lose a certain amount of muscle and bone due to the microgravity (微重力) environment in space. The food we eat is specifically designed for space missions. Some foods, such as cakes, can be eaten in space just the way they are eaten on the Earth. But some other foods are real challenges. For example, when you’re in space, you can’t shake salt onto food, because the salt would float away. As a result, we have to use special liquid salt. When we are not busy doing experiments on the ISS, we can relax and have fun in a variety of ways. Like most of you, we listen to music, read books, play cards, watch movies and talk with our family members. As you can see, the microgravity environment in space brings many challenges that don’t exist on the Earth. Would you like to live for some time on the ISS? Yours sincerely, Jessica Meir 72.

I am an astronaut. I work on the International Space Station (国际空间站，缩写为ISS) as a flight engineer. Today, I will tell you something about what life is like on the ISS. The ISS has over 425 cubic meters (立方米) of living space. I work here with astronauts from Asia, North America and some European countries. When we are on the ISS, we have to follow a detailed daily schedule. It tells us when to get up, eat, exercise, work, relax and go to sleep. We spend about two hours each day exercising. Without regular exercise, we would lose a certain amount of muscle and bone due to the microgravity (微重力) environment in space. The food we eat is specifically designed for space missions. Some foods, such as cakes, can be eaten in space just the way they are eaten on the Earth. But some other foods are real challenges. For example, when you’re in space, you can’t shake salt onto food, because the salt would float away. As a result, we have to use special liquid salt. When we are not busy doing experiments on the ISS, we can relax and have fun in a variety of ways. Like most of you, we listen to music, read books, play cards, watch movies and talk with our family members. As you can see, the microgravity environment in space brings many challenges that don’t exist on the Earth. Would you like to live for some time on the ISS? 54. Jessica Meir isn’t a flight engineer, is she? ____________________ 55. Where are the astronauts on the ISS from? ____________________ 56.
