of fast food. The next day, I felt awful. I had a stomachache and a headache. I had to see a doctor
and take some medicine. After that, I felt better. I knew I got ill because of the fast food and less

Scientists are developing ideas for how to feed astronauts in space. Over the
next 20 years，scientists are planning to send humans to the Moon and Mars. They
want to set up a space station on the Moon. But there is a problem. They have to
keep astronauts happy and healthy with fresh meals for a long time.
For now，most space food is pre﹣made like ready meals and sealed up（密封）
in bags. However，scientists want astronauts to be able to grow fresh food in space，so they can make
their food by themselves and have a healthier diet. It can also stop astronauts from getting bored with
their food. Getting bored is a problem because if they can't face their meals，they might end up eating
less.
Scientist are using robots to grow food. These robots can plant seeds（种子），keep the plants
watered as they grow，and harvest them when they are ready to eat. The robots can also check things
like temperature and growth. They have"E﹣ noses"， which can notice the smells from the plants.
What's more，they can work out what the plants need. So far，vegetables like lettuce（生菜）have been
the easiest to grow.
Scientists want the system of plant﹣growing to run by itself. Professor Sigfredo Fuentes said it
would be like having"a smart fridge in space"where everything，from food to medicines，can be created
from plants when needed.
26.Where will the scientists set up a space station？
A. On Mars. B. On the Moon. C. On the earth. D. On the Moon and Mars.
27．What do the scientists want astronauts to eat？
A. Ready meals. B. Pre﹣made food. C. Fresh food. D. Food sealed up in bags.
28.What does the underlined word"harvest"in paragraph 3 mean？

A. Pick. B. Eat. C. Plant. D. Water.
29.What is the best title of this passage？
A. Robots to Grow Food for Humans. B. Growing Fresh Food in Space.
