As space science develops, man has learnt more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger.
Scientists have found out that radiation(辐射）is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of radiation from the sun
and other stars, which is bad for their health. The damage from radiation won’t be discovered until their children or even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but it may not be really helpful.
Space junk is also thought as a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there are 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are man-made satellites(卫星）,10% are
spaceships, and the rest are space junk. An explosion (爆炸）in 1996 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments(碎片）,each at least 4 mm in size, and even a small piece of these knocked against a spaceship window and did some damage. Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working on helpful ways to do with space junk.
Although space is really dangerous, it interests everyone on the earth. In the near future, it may become usual for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space for a few years. So we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment.
( )56. The underlined word “damage” probably means _____ in the passage.
A. something useful B. something interesting
C. something harmful D. something important
C
( )57. Space junk and radiation are dangerous to _____.
A. spacemen working in space
B. all policemen on the earth
C. all the people except children
D. the old people on the earth

( )58. According to the passage, about _____ of man-made things in space are space junk.
A. 10% B. 30% C. 60% D. 80%
C
( )59. What may people do in space in the near future
A. They may spend a few days or live for a few years in space.
B. They may bring junk from the earth to space.
C. They may find out ways to solve all the problems in space.
