13、BEING an astronaut sounds cool, doesn't it? In space, they get to do some pretty amazing things, like floating in zero gravity(重力).
However, there are also plenty of things that astronauts can't do because of their weightless environment, and that's very sad. What's worse, they can't even let their sadness show, because it's impossible to cry in zero gravity.
Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But crying is much more difficult in space, according to The Atlantic(大西洋月刊) in January. Without gravity, tears don't flow(流动) down out of the eyes like they do here on Earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go-they just stick(粘) to your eyes.
In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. "Tears," he said, "don't fall off of your eyes...They just kind of stay there."
Besides making your vision(视线)unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But that's not the case in space. The space environment dries out astronauts' eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. "My right eye is stinging(刺痛) like crazy," Feustel told his teammate during the walk.
Since gravity doesn't work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of(除去) the tears. Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe(擦) the tears away. Another choice is to just wait-"When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eyes and float around," astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.
There are lots of small things-things like crying-that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted until they become a problem in a totally different environment, like space. There, astronauts can't talk to each other directly. They also can't eat or drink in normal ways. They can't even burp (打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up(呕吐)everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center.
Therefore, perhaps it's only space explorers who can honestly say: "Gravity, you're the best."
1.From Paragraphs 2 and 3 , we can know that_______.
A.astronauts are unable to feel sad in space
B.astronauts produce fewer tears in space
C.tears produced in space flow down more slowly
D.tears produced in space don't flow downward
2.What effect do tears have on astronauts?
A.They cause physical pain.
B.They bring comfort to them.
C.They make their vision clearer.
D.They float around and cause trouble.
3.The underlined phrase "take them for granted" in paragraph 7 means _______.
A.find them important
B.consider them useless
C.need them during an emergency
D.fail to notice their presence(存在)
4.The second-to-last paragraph (paragraph 7) is mainly about_______.
A.suggestions of how astronauts can stay comfortable in space
B.other basic things that are difficult to do in space
C.why burping is impossible in space
D.things human can't do without gravity

16、It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. It hadn`t rained in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. If it didn`t rain soon, we would lose everything. On this day, I witnessed(目睹) a wonder.
I was making lunch when I saw my 6-year old son, Billy, walking very slowly toward the woods. Minutes later he came running out again, toward the house. Soon after, I saw him walking toward the woods again. This went on for an hour. Finally I walked out of the house quietly and followed him.
Billy cupped both hands in front of him carefully as he walked into the woods. in order not to drop the water he carried. Then I saw an amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. I saw a tiny baby deer lying on the ground. It was dying of thirst, and it lifted its head with great effort to drink the water in my boy’s hands.
When the water was gone, Billy ran back to the house. I followed him to the tap. Billy opened it and a small trickle(涓涓细流) came out. He knelt there, letting the drips(水滴) slowly fill up his “cup”.
Now I understood what was going on. The week before, he tried giving water to our horses but I told him not to waste water. Now when he stood up and turned, I was there in front of him. His eyes filled with tears. “I’m not wasting,” he said. I joined him with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I let him walk to the baby deer alone while I stood at the edge of
the woods. As tears rolled down my face, they were suddenly joined by other drops…and more drops… as if the sky itself was crying.

17、The right name is important in the business world. All you have to do is to think of the names for some of the products you buy every day and you'll agree that the name and the product are connected in everyone's mind.
In many countries, successful trade or brand(商标)names are protected by law so that other companies cannot make the same product by copying. Businesses register(注册)a company or a product name with the government. In fact, more than 1,000 product and company names are registered every hour. Many companies spend a lot of money to find the right name for their products. A good example of this is in the car industry. Some successful names for cars have powerful associations(联系).The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar are only two examples of choosing the names of animals that are fast and strong.
When a U.S. company decides to sell its product in another country, it has to make sure that the product name translates properly. When Coca-Cola introduced its soft drink to China it looked for the right name. It wanted a name that would do two things. One was to present its image in Chinese and the second was to be close to its first brand name-Coke. It took some efforts before finding the right word-which sounds similar and translates as "happiness in the mouth". Asian company names are not new to the United States. The brand names of Samsung and Sony have been successful. Finding the right brand name is a big business. Asian companies that sell to foreign markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers. There are even naming companies that offer help in inventing product names. These companies can charge(要价)up to $ 100,000 a word for their good names. But it's worth it. Successful companies know how important the right brand names are for their development.
1.How many brand names are mentioned(提及)in the article?
A.Three. B.Four. C.Five. D.Six.
2.Trade names are protected by law in many countries .
A.to make companies pay for naming service
B.to help people choose the best products
C.to present good images of the products
D.to prevent products from being copied
3.What can we learn from the article?
A.Many companies care about the cost of finding the right names.
B.Creative trade names can help companies to have a larger sale.
C.The government often does business with naming companies.
D.It is considered necessary for cars to be named after animals.
4.What is the best title for the article?
A.The Importance of Right Brand Names B.The Rules of Naming Business
C.The Development of Brand Names D.The Methods of Choosing Names

18、 Learning about the environment is very important. There are many good books that will help you learn. To get started, ask your teacher or a librarian for some suggestions. You can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate change. Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference.
Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by carpooling . For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases (气体)into the air. By turning off lights, the television, and the computer when they aren't needed, you can help a lot.
Don't buy products that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These cars can travel longer on a smaller amount of gasoline. They don't pollute as much, either. Products like computers, TVs, and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label (标签) are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment. Buy recyclable products instead of non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package-three arrows that make a circle. The less energy we use, the better.
1.The passage is mainly written for .
A.car producers B.school students C.parents
2.The underlined word “carpooling” in Paragraph 2 most probably means .
A.sharing a car B.pulling a car C.selling a car
3.From the passage, we can learn that .
A.turning off the electricity when it isn't needed can save a lot of energy
B.electricity will cause great trouble to our environment
C.cars using less energy will not put greenhouse gases into the air
4.If you use recyclable products instead of new ones, you can spend .
A.more money B.less energy C.more energy
5.Which of the following can be the writer's opinion?
A.No pains, no gains.
B.Rome was not built in one day.
C.Little things can make a big difference.
