Can anyone be an astronaut
Of course not. You don't have to have a science degree but most astronauts do. Most of them are pilots too. Life in a spaceship is hard so you must have a healthy body and mind. You need to be easy-going, patient, and helpful to spend so much time in a small space with other people.
What's the training like
People have to train for a year to learn how to stay healthy and safe. They practise space walking and living in zero gravity. They train in difficult conditions to learn how to solve problems and to work in a team. Everyday tasks like eating, washing and sleeping can be difficult on a spaceship. There is no running water so you have to wash with wet tissues; it's hard to enjoy the dry food that astronauts have to eat. And to sleep you must cover your eyes because the sun rises every 90 minutes on the International Space Station. You also have to tie yourself to something so you don't fly away!
What health problems do astronauts have
Life in zero gravity causes changes to our bodies. Bones and muscles （肌肉）become thin and weak so you must do a lot of exercise in space to stay fit and to help the heart move blood around your body. Astronauts often get backache because you grow in space—up to 8 centimeters! It's also common to have headaches and to feel sick, especially at the beginning. You must have vitamins to take the place of fresh fruit and vegetables. But you don't have to put on sun cream because space suits protect your skin（皮肤）.
Are you still interested
So now you know. If you want to go to space, study hard, learn to fly and take care of your body and mind.
11．What is a must for an astronaut
A．A science degree. B．A pilot's license.
C．A healthy body and mind. D．A weak character.
12. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “gravity”
A. 碎石 B. 物质 C. 重力 D. 能量
13．What must you do to prepare for a space trip
A．Experience zero gravity. B．wash with running water.
C．Practise long walks. D．Sleep with your eyes open.
14．Why do astronauts have to exercise in space
A．To make their bones and muscles thinner. B．To help the heart work well and keep fit.
C．To avoid backache and grow much taller.
D．To stop their skins from getting sunburned.
15．What is the text mainly about
A．What we need to know to become an astronaut.
B．Why young people are interested in space trips.
C．What problems astronauts must solve in space.
D．Why we need to train hard before a space trip.

六、阅读填空（一空一词）（2*5）
The COVID-19 makes people stay at home. Though some people can improve their cooking skills, others are missing delicious food that they often have in restaurants. No other food can appear more often than hotpot on Chinese dinner table. Because hotpot can show how much Chinese like to get together to enjoy happiness.
As one of the famous meals in China, hotpot is being popular for ages, because of its special ways to cook. From vegetables to meat, from noodles to seafood, eaters can add any ingredients they like to the hotpot. Unlike other cooking ways，boiling（煮沸）food can make their nutrients（营养）get into the soup. This way can maximize（最大利用） all the ingredients.
Hotpot can bring warmth to our body in winter, and help cool the body in summer.
But eating hotpot is much more than an enjoyment for our taste or health. People usually celebrate life and friendship by eating hotpot. For most Chinese people, eating hotpot is usually an important social（社会的）event. A survey showed that 54.6% of Chinese usually eat hotpot with friends，and 42% choose hotpot for a family get-together. When a group of people sit around a table to eat, talk and drink, it's a good time. "As the food keeps boiling in the soup, we keep drinking and talking with each other. This makes the time warm," said Yu Jiaqing, a 28-year-old saleswoman from Beijing.
As a popular saying goes, "There's nothing to worry about after having a hotpot. If you are still worried，then go for it twice." So if you feel empty or lonely（孤独），why not cook a hotpot to fill your stomach（胃） and make your heart comfortable as well
