Anastronaut’sworkmaysoundexcit-优题课

An astronaut’s work may sound exciting, but living in space isn’t as fun as you think. The website www.space.com lists the disadvantages of living in space. Here are some of them.
When astronauts work outside the station during spacewalks, they have to wear special gloves. The gloves are very tight. They can hurt the astronauts’ fingernails(手指甲) and even make them fall off.
In space, you don’t have many choices in what you eat. It’s hard to get fresh fruits and vegetables. It is not OK to eat bread because it leaves crumbs(碎屑). Crumbs could fly around everywhere.
In space, it is impossible to have a good shower because water can fly all over the ship and break the machines. Astronauts have to use a special water-shooting(喷水) gun and a washcloth.
Astronauts lose their bone strength quickly during their stay in space. So far, there is no way to solve this problem. They do exercise while they’re in space to try to keep their bones strong as long as possible.
Perhaps the hardest part of life in space is the feeling of loneliness. Astronauts sometimes have to spend weeks and even months away from Earth. They miss their friends and families.

It’s unbelievable to save this black bear from falling off a 30-meter-high bridge.

The bear was（A）________ her way home after a long day in a California’s mountain. She was walking across the bridge when, suddenly, two cars entered from both sides. There was nowhere to run, so the frightened bear jumped onto the rail（护栏）and began to fall down.

Luckily, the bear pulled herself onto an arch under the bridge, but she couldn’t get out. A driver saw the surprising scene and called for help. Robert Brooks, an animal control officer from a nearby town, was sent to find out the truth. “I thought it was a joke.” he said.

③When the bear was gently lowered to the ground, everyone cheered. The police officers then cleared all the people from the area and left the bear alone when she slept. Since then, no one has seen the bear. “I don’t think she’s going near the bridge any more.” Brooks said.

Every Saturday, Wang Weifang puts on a play with his friends in a small town near Xi’an. The audience（观众）can hear them, but they cannot see them. That is because they are putting on a shadow puppet（皮影）play. Shadow puppets are made of hard leather（皮革）. The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colors and put on a stick. Some puppets have movable arms and legs.

During a shadow puppet play, Wang stands behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sit in front of the screen. Wang and his friends hold the puppets very close to the screen so that the audience can see the puppets’ shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different characters.

Shadow puppet play is a kind of ancient Chinese art. Now with TV and films, shadow puppet plays are not as popular as before. Wang and his friends often work very hard for little money, but they do not mind. They want to keep this traditional art form alive.
