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. 2 . And because gravity is not pressing on the spine(脊椎). The spine relaxes and stretches(舒展). 3 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. 4 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. 25 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.

Their faces look a little fatter.”（这是因为在没有重力的情况下，它们体内的液体会流向头部。他们的脸看起来有点胖。）可知此处是介绍在失重情况下，宇航员的模样，选项A“出于同样的原因，他们的腰围变小，胸围变大。”符合语境，故选A。 3．根据“And because gravity is not pressing on the spine(脊椎).
