Astronauts have to get used to weightless environment. They can’t walk as we do on Earth; instead, they float everywhere. Their daily life is well planned. They get up, eat meals, do experiments and exercise on time. Exercising is very important. Without gravity, their muscles will become weak easily, so they must exercise for hours every day to keep healthy. Eating in space is also special. All the food is specially prepared. Some food is dried, and some is packed in small bags. They can’t eat food that may produce small pieces, because the pieces will float around and influence the equipment. Sleeping is not easy either. Astronauts must sleep in fixed sleeping bags, or they will float around the room during sleep. Though space life is hard and full of challenges, many astronauts still love their job and enjoy the beautiful view of the Earth from space. 1. What is the main difference of space life? A. No fresh food B. Weightless environment C. No time to rest D. Too much homework 2. Why do astronauts exercise every day? A. To kill time B. To lose weight C. To keep muscles strong D. To enjoy fun 3.
