214376. （2020•碑林区•高一上期中） Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects.Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings？The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.
   I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things，and it worked.Because of our efforts，our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness.She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund（基金）（our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor）.
   For weeks，I've been thinking of bigger，deeper questions：How do we make it a habit for them？And how do we train ourselves to help them live with，need，and use less？Yesterday，I sat with my son，Shepherd，determined to test my own theory on this.I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest.I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes，ten minutes，max.I chose a red rubber ball-simple，universally available.We passed it，he tried to put it in his mouth，he tried bouncing it，rolling it，sitting on it，throwing it.It was totally，completely enough for him.Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.
   We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together.He had my full attention and I had his.My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.

205207. （2021•长安区一中•高一上期末） Japanese businessman Katsuo Inoue chose Italy for his summer vacation this year.He enjoyed the views of Florence and Rome---without ever leaving Japan.

    One of such techniques is to push notifications.You're getting on with your work or something else When—ping!—a notification pops up on your screen，informing you that a friend has posted something new or commented on your post.It may seem like a small interruption，but it often is enough to break your concentration and make you go back to your phone again.

201948. （2023•周至县•三模） A smile is the key to a thousand doors，but deploying （有效利用）it in every situation without mastery of its use is dangerous，says a new social science study.
   Scientists say it takes a great many muscles to smile；scientists at Queen's University Belfast in a recent study found that subtle（细微的）differences in the way in which a person smiled had not-so-subtle impacts on the opinions which the test participants had about the smiler. "Smiling at another person does not always lead to trust and cooperation，" said Dr.Stephanie Carpenter from the University of Michigan，a co-author of the study. "Subtle differences in a smile can definitely have a real impact on whether people trust each other and choose to cooperate.In fact，the way you smile in a good or bad situation can impact whether people trust you.
   "Think about movie villains（恶棍），for example in James Bond films，" said Dr.Magdalena Rychlowska from Queen's University，who led the research published in Cognition and Emotion journal. "They often make happy smiles when something bad has happened or is about to happen.This context makes these otherwise happy and normal smiles feel threatening and unpleasant." She adds，"The findings of this study show the power of subtle facial expressions and the positive consequences that an affiliation smile can have in difficult situations.It also highlights the importance of social context-a happy smile that could be read as a signal of trustworthiness in one setting can，but in another setting，it can be seen as the evidence of bad intentions."
   Mastery of the smile then，can be an excellent way of getting out of difficult social situations，while the lack thereof can be an excellent way of getting into one.

（1）Which of the following about smiling is right according to the passage？
A．Deploying smiling is very dangerous in every situation.
B．Subtle difference in smiling has little impact.

（2）How did the author explain subtle differences in a smile？
A．By using numbers and giving examples.
B．By giving examples and citing scientific proof.
C．By giving examples and making a comparison.
D．By making a comparison and citing scientific proof.
（3）What can be learn from the study of smiling？
A．A happy smile can always be read as a signal of trustworthiness.
B．People always make happy smiles when something bad has happened.
C．Mastering the smile can help you avoid troubles.

202043. （2022•西安中学•四模） Boredom is such a large part of day-to-day existence.Perhaps because it's common in our lives，scientists have been slow to explore it.John Eastwood is one of the first scholars to take an interest.
   One of the most common false views is that "only boring people get bored".
   Yet as Eastwood set about exploring the reasons for boredom，he found that there are two distinct types of personality that tend to suffer from the feeling of boredom，and neither are particularly dull themselves.
   Boredom often goes among people who are constantly looking for new experiences.For these people，the steady path of life just isn't enough to hold their attention.The second kind of bored people have almost exactly the opposite problem：the world is a fearful place，and so they try not to step outside their comfort zone.While this might offer some comfort，they are not always satisfied with the safety it offers and boredom results.
   Emotionould evolve for our benefit. "The very fact that boredom is a daily experience suggests it should be doing something useful，" says Heather Lench at Texas A&M University.Feelings like fear help us avoid danger，after all，while sadness might help prevent future mistakes.So，if true，what does boredom achieve？
   Reviewing the evidence so far，Lench suspects that it lies behind one of our most important characters---curiosity.Boredom，she says，pushes us to try to seek new goals or explore new ideas which stimulate innovation（激发创新）.
   Eastwood is less enthusiastic about boredom's benefits，but admits we should be cautious about looking for an immediate escape. "The feeling is so disgusting that people rush to remove it， " he says." I'm not going to join that war on boredom and come up with a cure，because we need to listen to the emotion and ask what it is trying to tell us to do. "

（1）What does John Eastwood's study mainly focus on？
A．Why people get bored.
B．The benefits of boredom.
C．How to deal with boredom.
D．The types of boredom.
（2）According to Lench，boredom        .
A．would help us avoid mistakes
B．cannot be cured for the moment
C．might be good for our creativity
D．could make us get tired and lose focus
（3）What's Eastwood's attitude towards finding a cure for boredom？
A．Curious.
B．Optimistic.
C．Objective.
D．Uninterested.
（4）What message can be concluded from the text？
A．Easier said than done.
B．Hard work never killed a man.
C．Practice makes perfect.
D．Every coin has two sides.

202121. （2022•西安中学•二模） The new radio programme from self-help expert Glennon Doyle unexpectedly disturbed me.In a session of We Can Do Hard Things，she focuses on boundaries and their importance to our mental happiness.I heartily agree with her，because saying a polite but firm "no" is one of the basics for a happy life.I was，however，interested when she raised the idea that perhaps，as well as learning when to confirm our boundaries，we also need to stretch them.When does a boundary become a cage that locks us away？
   Isn't it always the case that just as you think you've got an area of life nailed；somebody comes along to show you that that's not the case？As I listened，I started to see boundaries that might cause more problems than they were solving.
   There was the work boundary that said that unless a project fell exactly into my topics，I wouldn't take it - which meant that I turned down work that was otherwise interesting and rewarding.
   There was the boundary that said I wasn't to buy anything until I'd reached my savings goal - which resulted in me having to restart my laptop 20 times a day.
   And then there was a boundary around relationships that set out exactly how I should be treated and what I wanted in them.Helpful to some extent，it blocked me from allowing someone to express their love for me，even if it wasn't quite what I had predicted.
   Had I been doing boundaries wrong all the time？Did I need to figure them all out again？I've spent the past few weeks looking at the boundaries I've secretly put in place，and I've let myself lower some that have been my protection over the years.Then I've come to the conclusion that，when it comes to boundaries，I'm a beginner again，and that's fine.In fact，being back at the beginning is a blessing because it means there are still lessons to be learned and adventures to be had and that is something for which I can only be grateful.

（1）What has really interested the author in Glennon Doyle's programme？
A．The importance of confirming our boundaries.
B．The benefits of boundaries to our happiness.
C．The urgency of maintaining our boundaries.
D．The necessity of reassessing our boundaries.
（2）What can be concluded as to the author's views on boundaries？
A．We should favour savings goals over boundaries.
B．Boundaries tend to keep us from potential friends.
C．Boundaries are very likely to relieve boredom at work.
D．We should stick to boundaries despite inconvenience.
（3）How did the author feel about boundaries after the adjustments？
A．Relaxed.
B．Depressed.
C．Pressured.
D．Amused.
（4）What is probably the best title for the passage？
A．Just when you think you've got things sorted...
B．Just where you believe there's no way out...
C．How can we live a life without boundaries？
D．How do we become victims of boundaries？

202207. （2022•长安区一中•五模） This is the greatest mystery of our adult life：How can we spend all day typing at a computer and go home feeling exhausted？How could merely activating the small muscles of our fingers leave us worn out at the end of the day？What causes mental fatigue？
   "It is kind of a mystery，to be honest." said Michael Inzlicht，a University of Toronto psychologist who studies self-control，motivation，and fatigue.But scientists do have some clues.There is a hypothesis for why we get so tired from work when we're not physically active.We get so tired because our motivation runs out.As we work on a task，we struggle to focus on it or eventually lose interest in it.We become less motivated to do the task.We become drawn to the things we want to do（browsing social media or reading music blogs，for instance） rather than the things we have to do.
   Researchers in the UK published new evidence that finds some indirect evidence for the motivational model.This study tracked 100 nurses in the UK over two 12-hour shifts.
   Throughout the shifts，the nurses reported how fatigued they felt at regular intervals.They also wore devices that monitored and tracked the amount of physical activity they were engaged in.When the researchers investigated what could possibly explain the fatigue，they found some interesting patterns.Here's the result：There was no connection between the amount of physical work the nurses did and their feelings of fatigue.Instead，they found this small connection：The nurses who were least likely to feel fatigued from their work also felt the most in control of their work，and the most rewarded for it.These feelings may have boosted their motivation，which may have boosted their perception of having energy.
   Inzlicht has also found evidence for the motivational model in his work.A few years ago，he and Carleton University psychologist Marina Milyavskaya monitored 159 students at McGill University in Canada for a week. "What was surprising to us was the biggest predictor of fatigue，not whether they had self-control." Inzlicht said. "Instead，the predictor was the number of temptations they felt." "If you're typing at work，and if you're anything like me，you got a few browsers open.These lead to temptations，" he said. "Temptations make us less motivated to do our work，which，in turn，may make us tired."
   And there may be an evolutionary reason for why our brains would do this. "As an organism，we need to meet multiple goals to survive." Inzlicht explains. "We're not merely focused on finding food or pursuing our passions in life.We need to do all these things to be a healthy，thriving species." Because these multiple goals compete with one another（for our time），we need a mechanism sending signals. "Hey，stop doing that thing and do something else." That mechanism，he suggests，could be fatigue.In this light，boosting our motivation to stay on a task could lead us to feel less fatigued.

（1）Why does the author ask so many questions in the first paragraph？
A．To introduce a common phenomenon.
B．To raise some questions that are appealing.
C．To lead to the theme and attract attention.
D．To show the author's concern of the problem.
（2）The underlined word "fatigue" in the passage could best be replaced by        .
A．excitement
B．tiredness
C．health
D．disability
（3）Which one is the hypothesis for why we are often feel exhausted after one-day work？
A．We are drawn to others things we have to do.
B．Lacking drive to finish a task leads to tiredness.
C．Smaller amount of physical activity makes us more tired.
D．Better self-control can boost one's motivation to work.
（4）Which of the following may Inzlicht agree with？
A．The person with strong self-control can get more reward from work.
B．The one who are less motivated will be exposed to more temptations.
C．While typing，we use little part of our muscle，which is more tiring.
D．Typing with some browsers open will sometimes makes us more tired.

202225. （2022•临潼区•一模） It is generally acknowledged that a time-out，a method of checking misbehavior by removing the child from his or her current situation for a few minutes of quiet time，is bad for children's emotional and behavioral health.However，a new study suggests that despite always getting criticized，the common disciplinary（纪律的）strategy isn't linked to harmful effects on children.
   Researchers compared emotional and behavioral health between kids whose parents reported using time-outs and those who didn't over a roughly eight-year period.The result：no difference.There was no association between reported use of time-outs and negative symptoms in later childhood，including anxiety，depression，internalizing or externalizing problems，aggression，rule-breaking behavior，or self-control，according to the findings in Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics（儿科学）.
   "Parents are constantly questioning whether they are doing the right thing for their children.Unfortunately the first place many parents go for advice is the Internet-not a medical provider.There is a lot of conflicting information on the Web that isn't accurate，" says lead author Rachel Knight，PhD，pediatric psychologist at University of Michigan C.S.Mott Children's Hospital. "In fact，they may not be aware that time-out is one of the child discipline strategies currently recommended by American Academy of Pediatrics."
   Further studies are needed to continue evaluating specific claims made against time-outs and both their short-term and long-term effects across different populations and ages.Experts also need to find more effective ways to communicate evidence-based information to parents.
   "As we further our understanding about how different parenting strategies affect children，we need to present findings in an easily digestible and accessible way for the public，" she also says，"Our goal is to clear up misconceptions and promote the use of the highly effective，evidence-based strategies that will best guide parents and families."

（1）What do people generally think of a time-out？
A．It has negative effects on children.
B．It is an ineffective way of punishment.
C．It is a method to assess children's misbehavior.
D．It has nothing to do with harmful effects on children.
（2）What can be inferred from Knight's words in the third paragraph？
A．Most young parents lack medical knowledge.
B．Some information on the Internet needs regulating.
C．She is concerned about the overuse of time-outs.
D．The more time-outs are used，the better children behave.
（3）What is the target of Knight's further research？
A．To recommend some effective strategies to parents.
B．To remove people's misunderstanding about time-outs.
C．To appeal to government to regulate information on the Net.
D．To warn parents of getting evidence-based information from experts.
（4）What's the best title for the text？
A．How Parents Use Time-out Correctly.
B．Time-outs Bad for Children's Behavioral Health.
C．Some Highly Effective Strategies to Guide Parents.
D．Time-outs Not Associated with Negative Effects on Children.

202406. （2021•西安中学•三模） Now，Amazon has opened a brick-and-mortar bookstore in downtown Bethesda，and I am not thrilled.One reason is that there is no cafe area.But the biggest reason I am profoundly disappointed is that the new Amazon store does not accept cash.I refuse to use a credit card to pay for small purchases，such as books.I prefer to use cash.
   Much has been written about the "unbanked" people who are too poor to afford a credit card or a debit card（借记卡）and who don't have a smartphone.No-cash policies are discriminatory against people of low income.In Massachusetts，it is illegal for retail establishments to discriminate against cash-paying customers.Several lawmakers in the district are thinking of adopting similar laws.
   I am not a person of low income.I do have a credit card，and I occasionally use it.But it is my choice，for lifestyle and money management reasons，to use my credit card only for large purchases.I have decided not to own or use a smartphone，which means that I cannot use apps to make purchases.
   For all their convenience，credit cards do come with problems.There are privacy concerns，because credit card purchases can be tracked.There are risks that those using credit cards may become victims of identity theft.And a cashless economy is dependent on functioning computers and uninterrupted power sources.Computers can be hacked，and power outages occur.In these circumstances，a cashless economy simply won't function.
   My decision not to patronize stores that discriminate against cash-paying customers means that the only bookstore in downtown Bethesda will not be getting my business.In refusing to patronize such businesses，I am standing up for the "unbanked" who can't afford credit cards or smartphones and also for people like me who simply choose to use cash.

（1）Why is the author disappointed at the new bookstore mainly？
A．Because there is no cafe area.
B．Because there are only e-books.
C．Because it rejects cash payment.
D．Because it doesn't accept credit cards.
（2）What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about？
A．The drawbacks of no-cash policy.
B．The credit risks of a cashless economy.
C．The convenience of credit card payment.
D．The privacy concerns of online shopping.
（3）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "patronize" in paragraph 5？
A．Sponsor.
B．Shop in.
C．Purchase.
D．Flee from.
（4）What is the probable attitude of the "unbanked" to the new bookstore？
A．Angry.
B．Worried.
C．Optimistic.

214033. （2022•周至四中•高一下期中） With golden sunshine and a gentle breeze（微风），autumn is the most beautiful seasons in the year.This is a great time to go outside and have fun.Go to a valley to see red maple trees，go and pick fruit in an orchard or find an open field to fly your kite in.
   However，for many high school students，these great activities may be just a dream.With plenty of work to do，they spend all their hours indoors，fighting for a high mark in their exams.Of course，study is one of the most important things for teenagers.But life is absolutely much more than that.
   Sometimes we spend so much time studying that we forget how to make life wonderful.In doing so，we lose the real purpose of life - to be a valuable and happy person.To enjoy just how great it is to be alive，we have to put down our books and pens and look around us.Students，take some exercise to improve your health，talk with your parents and friends for understanding and walk around outside to refresh（振作）your body and mind.
   Going out and enjoying the beautiful countryside often helps our creativity in our work.Chinese craftsman，Lu Ban created a saw to help woodworkers.But if he hadn't walked outside，he would not have been inspired by a kind of toothed（锯齿状的）grass.We could also suppose if Newton hadn't rested under that apple tree，then he wouldn't have been hit by an apple，and his classic（经典的）theories would not have come out.
   Going out is not only a break from hard work，but a chance to add to life experience.So come on，give your brain a good rest.Step out the books and get your bag ready for an autumn outing.We are sure you will get much more than knowledge from the exciting journey.

202425. （2021•西安中学•七模） Australian experts have expressed concerns that too many millennials are hoping to use their social media accounts to build their careers.
   Their concerns follow the sudden rise in "insta-celebrities" who make money by posting sponsored photos online.For the lucky few who are not only talented photographers but also good-looking and business-savvy，making money off social media isn't impossible.
   Instagram is flooded with social media professionals paid to promote products and services.However，social scientist Lauren Rosewarne，from the University of Melbourne，says that in reality，there are far fewer people making money off the platforms than one may think.
   She said many young Australians were getting sucked in by the appeal of making money on platforms like Instagram，describing it as "totally unrealistic" and extremely difficult to do.
   "Young people are hoping to be famous in numbers that were simply not there 20 years ago，" Rosewarne told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation （ABC） on Saturday. "There are some people who can make fortunes out of monetizing their Instagram posts，but that is not the norm."
   She said it was up to parents and schools to discourage students from seeking Insta-fame，as many believe it is a possible career choice. "There's the warning for parents；this is not a normal or even common occurrence that you can monetize your Instagram account."

203596. （2025•交大附中•高一上期末）     When "irregardless" was included in Merriam-Webster dictionary，it caused wide disagreements. "Irregardless"has been in widespread and near-constant use since 1795，when a newspaper called The Charleston City Gazelle of Charleston Ga first used it."We do not make the English language，and we merely record it，"the dictionary's staff wrote in"Words of the Week".
    "The word's definition，when we read it，would seem to be without regard.However，Merriam-Webster defines 'irregardless' as 'nonstandard' but meaning the same as 'regardless.' According to Merriam-Webster， 'Many people find "irregardless" to be a ridiculous word，as the ir-prefix usually indicates a negative meaning；however，in this case，it appears to make the meaning of "regardless" stronger.'"
    "It's not a real word.I don't care what the dictionary says."responds author Michelle Ray，who teaches English in Silver Spring，Md.And she saye's still planning to mark"irregardless"as incorrect on her students' work.
    An American newspaper the Baltimore Sun published the word in editor John Melntyre's commentary on Saturday："Irregardless' is too a word；you just don't understand dictionaries.People get upset about the dictionary because they think it is some sort of official document.But actually，it's not.It's just lexicographers identifying words that people use and trying to find out how they are spelled，how they are pronounced，what meanings they have and where they came from."
    "The dictionary's recognition doesn't enroll a word as correct in the English language，"McIntyre says."It just says this is a word that a lot of people use in English.And here's what we know about it."So it's a word，but its use is still discouraged in formal writing.

（1）What's the function of the first paragraph？
A.To criticize the use of "irregardless".
B.To introduce the topic.
C.To make a definition of "irregardless".
D.To give an example.
（2）What can we learn from the passage？
A. "Irregardless"had been in widespread and near-constant use before 1975.
B.The dictionary's staff rarely record the English language.
C.Michelle Ray thinks the use of"irregardless" formal but incorrect.
D.People are still not encouraged to use"irregardless"in formal writing.
（3）What is the attitude of McIntyre to the appearance of "irregardless"in Merriam-Webster dictionary？
A.Favorable.
B.Conservative.
C.Indifferent.
D.Ambiguous.
（4）Which of the following sentences best summarizes the main idea of the passage？
A."Irregardless"is frequently used in formal writing.
B."Irregardless"shouldn't be included in the dictionary.
C.Regardless of what you think，"irregardless"is a word.

213562. （2022•未央区•高二上期中） Today，many people spend a lot of time reading online，whether reading news，social media，or e-books.While online reading opens up a lot of knowledge to people，there are some drawbacks，too.These include eyestrain，headaches，as well as difficulty in even finishing reading the text.Now a new reading plugin（插件）has been intended to help people overcome these problems and read faster online.
   The reading plugin called Bionic Reading，which was developed by Swiss designer Renato Casutt，was created with the belief that your brain can read faster than your eyes.The plugin makes the first few letters of each word in bold（粗体），which actually allows your eyes to skip over parts of the text and your brain to fill in what is missing.Incredibly，reading like this feels like finally unlocking 100 percent of people's brain.
   Casutt came up with the plugin by accident.He was reading a book in a foreign language and realized he could read it faster and well master it if he separated it into parts.He has worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and is still working to perfect it.Many people who want to strengthen their reading ability show interest in it，but more research is needed before it can be definitively shown that the system improves reading ability.But people with dyslexia（诵读障碍）have confirmed that Bionic Reading did help them focus on what they are reading.
   Casutt's goal is to integrate the plugin into all reading apps and online services. "In a digital world dominated（支配）by shallow forms of reading，Bionic Reading aims to encourage a more in-depth reading and understanding of written content，" he said.Bionic Reading is available in several apps like Fiery Feeds，Lire，and Next App.The best way to know if it helps you read better online is to try it yourself and find out what it is all about.

（1）How does Bionic Reading work？
A．Users can read faster with less thinking.
B．Users keep their brains much less active.
C．Users keep an eye on part of the whole text.
D．Users guess the meanings of some key words.
（2）What benefit does Bionic Reading bring to people with dyslexia？
A．Selecting suitable reading contents.
B．Keeping up with reading contents.
C．Limiting reading time.
D．Reducing stress from reading.
（3）What can we learn about Bionic Reading？
A．It has not been put into use so far.
B．It has already been fully developed.
C．It leaves users a further reading and thinking.
D．It helps users skip the new words in reading.
（4）Which is the most suitable title for the text？
A．New Pioneering Plugin Improves Online Reading
B．Online Reading Is Sure To Perfect People's Brain
C．Spending Time On Online Reading Is Worthwhile
D．New Pioneering Plugin Still Needs To Be Improved

213496. （2022•长安区一中•高一上期中） Life in space will certainly take some getting used to!But the space station has been designed to keep the astronauts as comfortable as possible—the modules（舱） are roomy，bright，and kept at a constant 21℃.It's important the crew members are comfortable because they'll be busy aboard the station.In a typical workday，crew members will spend 14 hours working and exercising，1.5 hours preparing and eating meals，and 8.5 hours sleeping.Here are some other fun facts about life aboard the station：
   Food
   Come mealtime，astronauts will have a special dining kitchen.Space food just keeps getting better—and more like food we enjoy here on Earth.In early space missions（任务），astronauts could eat only freeze-dried food that didn't require any preparation.But the space station is equipped with water，microwave ovens，and refrigerators，allowing the folks on board to eat more "normal" types of food，including fruit，vegetables，and ice cream!
   Sleep
   Each crew member has a private room.With no gravity，they'll need to tie themselves to their beds，or they will float away!That might sound like a strange way to sleep，but astronauts from past space missions report that sleeping in space is actually pretty great!
   Exercise
   You might not think it，but exercise is even more important on the station than it is on Earth.There is not much gravity in space.Astronauts don't stand up，sit down or walk in space，so their muscles and bones don't have to work much—and this muscle and bone loss can be dangerous back on Earth.To fight this，astronauts on the station will exercise on bikes，rowing machines，and other equipment about two hours every day.
   Clothing
   Astronauts will have to wear special space suits while travelling aboard the U.S.shuttle or Russian rockets.But once they're safe inside the space station，crew members can wear regular clothing.Of course，a specially designed，pressurized space suit is required for space walks.It has to bear flying pieces and protect the astronauts from dramatic temperature changes.It can range from -84℃ in the shadow of the station to 121℃ in the hot sun.
   Personal Cleanliness
   Simple tasks like brushing your teeth can be challenging in a weightless environment.A little water doesn't flow in a stream.Astronauts will use a freshwater hose（软管） to take showers，shampoo，and wash off—then a second vacuum hose to suction（吸） off the dirty water.And how do you go to the bathroom in space？With a special "air toilet" that uses flowing air instead of water to get rid of waste.

（1）The text is mainly about         .
A．ways to get used to life in space.
B．fun facts about life in space.
C．temperature changes in space.
D．a typical workday in space.
（2）What can we learn about space food from the text？
A．Space food is getting better now than before.
B．Astronauts could eat apples in space in the past.
C．Fresh food isn't available to astronauts in space.
D．Astronauts eat only fruit，vegetables and ice cream now.
（3）Why is exercise more important in space than on Earth？
A．It can prevent muscle and bone loss.
B．It can make astronauts feel relaxed in space.
C．It can help astronauts spend their spare time happily.
D．Astronauts' lives are more important in space than on earth.
（4）What can be learned from the paragraph "Clothing"？
A．Astronauts wear pressurized space suits just to keep warm.
B．Astronauts can wear regular clothing for space walks now.
C．Astronauts must wear special space suits all the time in space.
D．The temperature is quite different in different places in space.
