Have you ever imagined the life in space？The following will show you the astronauts' daily life.

• Eating in space

If you go camping for more than a week with some friends，you will make sure you have plenty of foods and keep them properly.At the end of your camping trip，you would deal with your rubbish properly before the ride home.

Astronauts almost do the same thing when they go to space.Preparation changes with the food type.Some foods can be eaten in their natural forms，such as chocolate cakes and fruits.Other foods require adding water，such as cheese.Of course，an oven is provided at the space station to heat the food.But there are no fridges，so space food must be kept properly.

• Sleeping in space

After a long day at work，nothing is better than a good night's sleep!Just like on the earth，in space astronauts go to bed at a certain time，then get up and prepare for work again.When going to sleep，they have to attachthemselves，so they don't float （漂浮） around or hit their bodies against something.They usually use sleeping bags located in small crew cabins （乘员舱）.Each crew cabin is just big enough for one person.Generally，astronauts have an eight﹣hour sleep each day when they finish their task.

• Doing sports in space

Exercise is an important part of every astronaut's daily life to prevent muscle loss （肌肉萎缩）.Usually，astronauts exercise two hours every day.Lifting 200 pounds on the earth may be a lot of work.But lifting that same object in space would be much easier.That means the things for exercise need to be specially designed，so astronauts can receive the exercise needed.

Living in space is not just all work and no play.Astronauts have fun，too.They like to look out the window and play with their food.Fun plays an important role in the quality of their life.

An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree.A small fly came，flying and buzzing near his ear.The elephant waved it away with his long ears.Then the fly came again and the elephant waved it away once more.

This happened several times.Then the elephant asked the fly， "Why are you so restless and noisy？Why can't you just stay in one place？"

The fly answered， "I am interested in whatever I see，hear or smell.My five senses，and everything that happens around me，pull me here and there and I cannot resist （抵抗） them.What is your secret？How can you stay so calm and still？ "

The elephant stopped eating and said， "My five senses do not rule me.I am in control of myself - my senses do not tell me what to do.This helps me stay focused on whatever I do，and so，keep my mind calm and still.Now that I am eating，I am completely enjoying eating.In this way，I can just focus on enjoying my food."

After hearing these words，the fly's eyes opened wide and a smile appeared on his face.He looked at the elephant and said， "I understand!I will always be restless if I let my senses control me.On the other hand，if I try to use some self﹣control，my mind will become calm and I'll be able to stay still."

Boyan Slat has been dreaming of cleaning up the world's oceans for a long time.

In 2010，he went on a diving （潜水）vacation in Greece and was shocked."I saw more plastic bags than fish in the water，" he said.

From then on，Slat began to pay more attention to ocean pollution.He decided to give up higher education and set up the Ocean Cleanup，a non﹣government organization.Its purpose is to clean up ocean rubbish.He has set up the world's first ocean cleanup system （系统）with his team.

Every year，over 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans，and it can take up to 500 years to break down.In 2018，the World Economic Forum predicted that the weight of ocean plastic would match that of all the fish in our oceans by 2050.Sea animals easily get caught in plastic.They can't move.They can even die if they eat it.Smaller plastic pieces can also enter the food chain （链）and end up in our bodies.

Slat's plan was to create an environmentally﹣friendly，large system to clear out plastic rubbish from the ocean.

After seven years of tests，on October 2nd，2019，a machine called System 001/B came out.It successfully caught and collected a large amount of plastic rubbish floating in the ocean.
