6..It’s difficult for us ________ (understand) how astronauts live without gravity.
【答案】to understand
【详解】句意:对我们来说,理解宇航员如何在没有重力的环境下生活是很困难的。本句使用固定句型“It’s+形容词+for sb. to do sth.”,it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式,因此understand要变为to understand。
7.We need to take a deep ________ when we feel nervous in space. (breathe)

Before the first lesson, students need to 3 many things. They read an introduction about the programme and learn how a spacesuit helps people 4 in space. They also learn that things weigh less when gravity is low.
In the training room, students do exercise every day. At first, Mia feels 5 after running, but she does not give up. She ties a rope around her body and practises moving slowly, just like an astronaut.
Later, the class visits a space facility. They watch a video about how a rocket gets into 6 . They also see a model 7 on the Moon’s surface. The guide tells them that thousands of people work together before a real launch.
At the end of the week, Mia writes about her 8 and sends it to the school website. She says the programme helps her understand the universe. Her dream is still far away, but her 9 becomes stronger. She believes she will explore space 10 .
