Have you ever dreamed of traveling through space? For most of us, it’s just a fantasy. But for astronauts, it’s a real job. Being an astronaut requires not only excellent physical health but also strong mental strength. They have to spend months or even years away from family and friends, living in a small space station. However, their work is of great significance — they conduct scientific experiments that can’t be done on Earth, and they help us learn more about the universe.
One of the biggest challenges astronauts face is the effect of microgravity on the human body. Muscles become weaker, and bones lose density. To deal with this, astronauts exercise for at least two hours every day. They use special equipment like treadmills and resistance machines. Thanks to their hard work, they can return to Earth in good shape after long missions.
Would you like to become an astronaut? If so, you need to study hard, especially science and engineering, and keep your body fit. The journey is long and difficult, but it’s also full of wonder.

A. Lack of food and water.
B. Microgravity’s effects on the body.

Have you ever dreamed of traveling through space? For most of us, it’s just a fantasy. But for astronauts, it’s a real job. Being an astronaut requires not only excellent physical health but also strong mental strength. They have to spend months or even years away from family and friends, living in a small space station. However, their work is of great significance — they conduct scientific experiments that can’t be done on Earth, and they help us learn more about the universe.
One of the biggest challenges astronauts face is the effect of microgravity on the human body. Muscles become weaker, and bones lose density. To deal with this, astronauts exercise for at least two hours every day. They use special equipment like treadmills and resistance machines. Thanks to their hard work, they can return to Earth in good shape after long missions.
Would you like to become an astronaut? If so, you need to study hard, especially science and engineering, and keep your body fit. The journey is long and difficult, but it’s also full of wonder.
1. What is one of the biggest challenges for astronauts according to the text?
A. Lack of food and water.
B. Microgravity’s effects on the body.
C. Communication with Earth.
D. High cost of space missions.
2. What do astronauts do to deal with muscle and bone problems?
A. Take special medicine.
B. Reduce working hours.
C. Exercise for at least two hours daily.

A. Focus only on physical training.
B. Study arts and humanities.
C. Study science and engineering and keep fit.
D. Apply for a space travel agency.
B
Music has always been an important part of human culture. It can express emotions that words alone cannot. In recent years, music therapy has gained recognition as a useful treatment for various health problems.
Scientists have found that listening to music can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and even improve memory. For example, soft classical music is often used to help patients relax before surgery. Moreover, playing a musical instrument can improve hand-eye coordination and train the brain. Children who learn to play an instrument often perform better in school, especially in math and reading.
In addition, music is used to help people with mental disorders like depression and anxiety. Singing in a choir or playing in a band gives people a sense of belonging and achievement. No matter what kind of music you like — rock, pop, classical, or jazz — it has the power to heal and inspire.
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Music is a form of entertainment only.
B. Music therapy is only for children.
C. Music has healing power and benefits health.
D. Rock music is better than classical music.
5. According to the text, which kind of music is often used to help patients relax before surgery?

In many parts of the world, traditional festivals are being celebrated with new elements. Technology has changed the way people celebrate. For instance, people now send electronic red envelopes during the Spring Festival instead of paper ones. They also post greeting videos on social media instead of sending postcards.
However, some people worry that the true meaning of festivals may be lost. In the past, family gatherings and face-to-face communication were the core of celebrations. Now, many young people spend festival time on their phones, checking messages and playing games. Experts suggest that we should balance technology use with traditional customs. For example, we can use technology to share joy, but we should also set aside time for family conversations and activities.
In a word, technology is a tool. It can help us celebrate, but it shouldn’t replace the warmth of human connection.
