What's a spacewalk?Any time an astronaut gets out of a spacecraft while in space,it is called a spacewalk.Astronauts go on spacewalks for many reasons.For example,experiments can be placed on the outside of a spacecraft.This lets scientists learn how being in space affects different things.By going on spacewalks,astronauts can also fix things instead of bringing them back to Earth to fix.
When astronauts go on spacewalks,they wear spacesuits to keep themselves safe.Inside spacesuits,astronauts have the oxygen they need to breathe and the water they need to drink.To keep the astronauts and the spacecraft safe,the astronauts must leave and go back to the spacecraft through a special door.When on a spacewalk,astronauts use safety tethers to stay close to their spacecraft.Tethers are like ropes,and connect the spacewalkers with the spacecraft.They keep astronauts from floating away into space.Another way astronauts stay safe during spacewalks is by wearing a SAFER.The SAFER is worn like a backpack.It helps an astronaut move around in space.
How do astronauts train for spacewalks?One way is by going for a swim.Floating in space is a lot like floating in water.Astronauts practice spacewalks underwater in a huge special swimming pool.For every one hour they will spend on a spacewalk,astronauts need to train seven hours in the pool.Another way astronauts practice for a spacewalk is by using virtual reality(虚拟现实).It looks and feels just like a spacewalk.
Today,only three countries have finished spacewalks independently.They are Russia,the United States and China.The first person to go on a spacewalk in the world was Alexei Leonov from Russia.Zhai Zhigang is the first Chinese astronaut to go on a spacewalk.The world record of spacewalks is held by Russian astronaut Anatoly Solovyev.He has been on 16 spacewalks and spent more than 82 hours outside in space.

Find Your Adventure at
the Space and Aviation (航空) Centre
If you're looking for a unique adventure,the Space and Aviation Centre (SAC) is the place to be.The Centre offers programmes designed to challenge and inspire people with handson tasks and lots of fun.
More than 750,000 have graduated from SAC,with many seeking employment in engineering,aviation,education,medicine and a wide variety of other professions.They come to camp,wanting to know what it is like to be an astronaut or a pilot,and they leave with realworld applications for what they're studying in the classroom.
For the trainees,the programmes also offer a great way to earn merit badges (荣誉徽章).At Space Camp,trainees can earn their Space Exploration badge as they build and fire model rockets,learn about space tasks and try simulated (模拟) flying to space with the crew from all over the world.The Aviation Challenge programme gives trainees the chance to earn their Aviation badge.They learn the principles of flight and test their operating skills in the cockpit (驾驶舱) of a variety of flight simulators.Trainees also get a good start on their Wilderness Survival badge as they learn about waterand landsurvival through designed tasks and their search and rescue of a “downed” pilot.
With all the programmes,teamwork is key as trainees learn the importance of leadership and being part of a bigger task.
All this fun is available for ages 9 to 18.Families can enjoy the experience together,too,with Family Camp programmes for families with children as young as 7.
Stay an hour or stay a week—there is something here for everyone!

Ⅱ.七选五
One key to getting along well with people is knowing when to say you're sorry.But it's hard to apologize. 1 Sometimes we just don't know how to do it.Here are some tips that may make it easier to say you're sorry.
2 The first step in apologizing is to admit to yourself that you have offended someone.And then it's important to let the person you hurt know that you didn't mean to do harm.At the same time,you must show that you take your mistakes seriously.Recognize that your actions caused a problem for the other person.
Show your regret.The other person needs to see that you have suffered,too. 3 For instance,“I felt bad the minute I told your secret.I am ashamed of myself.”
Repair the damage. 4 If you damaged someone's property,offer to fix it.If the damage isn't so obvious,ask,“What can I do to make it up to you?”There may be nothing concrete(具体的) you can do,but the offer must be sincere.“I'll try to keep my mouth shut in the future.Meanwhile,let me buy you a cup of coffee.”Another way to repair the damage is to send a note or a small gift.
Use good timing. 5 For example,if you bump (碰撞) into someone,say you're sorry right away.Don't wait until the next day to apologize.However,if you have done something more serious,like insulting(侮辱) a friend,your apology should be more thoughtful.A quick apology might seem insincere.Take the time to sit down,look the person in the eye,and apologize honestly.
Remember,it's not about who “won” or “lost”.It's about keeping a strong friendship.
A.Take responsibility and explain.
B.An apology must correct the injury.
C.Apologize right away for little things.
D.Many of us are ashamed or have too much pride.
E.Come right out and say you are sorry or ashamed.
F.Sometimes little comments or actions can hurt or offend others.
G.You may know it right away that you have done something hurtful.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。与他人相处,有时因冒犯到他人要道歉时,我们往往感到手足无措。本文就如何恰当道歉给出了几条行之有效的建议。
1.D [根据前文“But it's hard to apologize.”可知,空格处承接上文描述的现象,继而说明我们道歉很难的原因。故D项“Many of us are ashamed or have too much pride.”符合文意。]

3.E [根据后文“For instance,‘I felt bad the minute I told your secret.I am ashamed of myself.’”可知,作者建议我们勇敢地面对要道歉的人,表达你因为伤害到他们,同样感到煎熬不安。]
4.B [根据后文“If you damaged someone's property,offer to fix it.”可知,道歉很恰当的方式之一,就是在损害他人财产后,主动提出修理,减少他们的损失。B项“An apology must correct the injury.”符合文意。]
5.C [根据本段的段首主旨句“Use good timing.”及后文“For example,if you bump into someone,say you're sorry right away.”可知,本段主要讲述道歉的关键还在于时机的选择。当你撞到了别人,要立即道歉。C项“Apologize right away for little things.”意为为小事马上道歉,符合文意。]

Mike had some seemingly disturbing behavior,and his shaved head showed a scar.Maybe he had no 12 manners,but his lifesaving ability made up for his unsatisfactory skills in PR (public relation).In the mother's 13 ,Mike was a really terrible guy.However,that couldn't change the fact that he had just 14 her kids.
