37-year-old spacewoman Wang Yaping made history—she is China’s first teacher in space. Wang Yaping taught Chinese primary and middle school students on Earth physics problems in the zero-gravity(零重力) environment. She prepared for the lecture(讲座) for a long time.
Wang, born in January 1980, is from east China’s Shandong Province. She was a pilot(飞行员) in the People’s Liberation Army Air Force(空军) with experience of 1,600 hours of flying. The world’s first teacher in space was Christa McAuliffe, a 37-year-old middle school teacher from the United States, but the Space Shuttle Challenger(挑战者号) disintegrated (崩裂) after 73 seconds into flight on Jan.28,1986. McAuliffe and other six members were killed.
“Wang’s lecture was a pleasant surprise,” said Zhang Xiaoguang, an astronaut in the three members of Shenzhou-10 spacecraft(宇宙飞船). “She does well in whatever she does. Sometimes we’d like to give her a helping hand, but she just would not take the hand in help,” said Nie Haisheng.
Like many young Chinese people, Wang likes photography, music and basketball. She said, “We are all students in facing the universe. We are looking forward to joining our young friends to learn and explore the mystical(神秘的）and beautiful universe.”

As space science develops, man has learned 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 done by radiation won’t be discovered until their children or even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really helpful medicine has been found.
Space junk is also thought to be 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 1999 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments , each at least 4mm 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 deal 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 in a few years. So we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment.
21．To spacemen, the radiation from the sun and other stars is ________.
A．good B．helpful C．useful D．harmful
22．The underlined word “fragments” means ________.
A．泡沫 B．碎片 C．烟雾 D．飞碟
23．What does the underlined word “these” refer to
A．Man-made things B．Radiation C．The sun D．Other stars
24．What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us
A．Space is dangerous. B．The space in the future.
C．Space junk is dangerous. D．People visit space.
25．What is the passage mainly talking about
A．How to protect space. B．The dangers of space.
C．How to avoid the danger in space. D．The success and dangers in space.
