21．（6分）Do women make BETTER astronauts? Russia locks an all-female crew in space simulator (太空模拟器) for eight days to find out. Six Russian women have been sent into a spaceship to begin a unique experiment testing how an all- female crew would relate to others on a trip to the Moon and back.
“It’s interesting for us to see what is special about the way a female crew communicates,” said Sergei Ponomaryov, the experiment’s leader. “it will be particularly interesting in terms of psychology,” said the institute’s director Igor
Ushakov. “I’d like to wish you a lack of conflicts, even though they say that in one kitchen, two housewives find it hard to live together,” he added.
The volunteers include scientific researchers, a doctor and a psychologist. The test period simulates (模仿) a flight to the Moon and back, with the women carrying out 10 experiments covering psychology and human biology. Russia sent the first woman into space, Valentina Tereshkova, in 1963 but has fallen behind since. Last year, it sent its fourth female astronaut into space, Yelena Serova. Serava complained of a great deal of media interest in how she would wash her hair aboard the International Space Station, pointing out that male astronauts did not face the same line of questioning.
The women found themselves fielding questions at a press conference about how they would act without men or makeup for eight days, “We are very beautiful without makeup,” said participant Darya Komissarova. Her colleague Anna Kussmaul wa s more direct: “We are doing work. When you’re doing your work, you don’t think about men and women.” They plan to spend their 11/2 hours per day of free
time watching films, reading and playing board games. Team leader Yelena Luchnitskaya said she expected the women to deal with any conflict.

22．（8分）For years, my time spent in the shower could have got me a mention in Guinness World Records as the shortest time taken to bathe. I hurried up during this process.
One day, however, while at a party, I heard an artist friend telling everybody that his idea came while he was having a shower. “What about you?” he asked, “Don’t you get your creative thoughts from the same place?”
“I’m in and out in a hurry,” I told him proudly. “I have no time to waste!”
“What a pity,” he said. “That’s the place where you need to slow down; plenty of great thoughts come from there!”
I tried it out. I slowed down the whole process, started enjoying the warm water, taking a little longer to soap myself and even spending more time just enjoying the process, and realized how much I had missed in hurrying up all these years.
A woman told me how much stress her friend was suffering from and how she sought to convince her that she needed to find ways to relax. She gave her a videotape on stress management and relaxation techniques, and encouraged her to watch it right away. Fifteen minutes later, her friend handed back the tape. “It was good,” she said, but I don’t need it.”
“But it’s a 70 - minute video,” the woman replied, “You couldn’t have watched the whole thing.”
“Yes, I did,” her friend said. “I put it in fast - forward!”
A major social problem of the 21st century is Hurry Sickness. We hurry through work. We swallow fast food. We complain that we don’t have enough time. We race through the days and wee ks until one day we look back in amazement and comment, “My god, how the years flew by!” Then we realize the heavy price we have paid for traveling fast.
Symptoms of Hurry Sickness include stress and anxiety, bad relationships, lowered work performance and even disease. Some people don’t survive it. What’s the cure? Slow down, for life is so short and precious that we must live it well.
1、What was the advantage of taking a shower in the eyes of the artist friend?
A．Time was saved. B．Nothing was missed.
C．Great ideas flew away. D．Creative thoughts came.
2、What was the trouble with the woman’s friend?
A．She felt stressed. B．She found the tape useless.
C．She found no way to relax. D．She watched the tape too fast.

C．People don’t have enough time. D．Time flies without being noticed.
4、How can the problem be settled?
A．By pacing down. B．By learning to survive.

23．（8分）At first，Michael Surrell didn’t see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors’home．He and his wife had just parked around the corner from their own house，when they got a call from one of his daughters：“The house next door is on fire!”He went to investigate．That’s when he saw two women and a girl panic-stricken on their doorway．
“The baby’s in there!”one of the women cried．Though the fire department had been called，Surrell，then 64，instinctively ran inside．“The baby”was 8-year-old Tiara，the woman’s granddaughter．

Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later，having suffered severe burns．Tiara was released from the hospital after a few days．“It’s a small price to pay,”Surr ell says．“I’d do it again in a heartbeat．Wouldn’t give it a second thought．”
