A journey to Mars is no laughing matter.On average,the red planet is 140 million miles away from Earth.A trip there would take around eight months in a small spacecraft."When you're living with others in a confined space for a long period of time,such as on a journey to Mars,problems are likely to occur,Jeffrey Johnson,a scientist at the University of Florida, told The Guardian. This is probably why NASA wants an astronaut(宇航员)with a sense of humor.“These are people that have the ability to pull everyone together,"Johnson said.In stressful situa- tions,perhaps humor is a way to know we aren't alone.By laughing together,we share our stress.Then we can focus on our jobs instead of just worrying. But if you're hoping that your favorite TV jokers will fly to Mars,that probably won't happen."Being funny won't be enough to land somebody the job,Johnson said."They also need to be an excellent scientist and engineer.Besides,they must be in top physical condition. 28.What is NASA looking for? A.A humorous astronaut. B.A talented engineer. C.A serious scientist. D.A popular TV joker. 29.What does the underlined word "confined"in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Comfortable. B.Empty. C.Small. D.Open. 30.Why is a sense of humor important for astronauts? A.It can improve their physical condition. B.It can make them focus on loneliness. C.It can make their journey shorter.
