Space stations are like large houses that need much care and attention. Much of the crew’s time is spent preparing and carrying out scientific experiments.

At least two hours each day is spent on exercise. It is necessary to keep the crew healthy. In some ways, living in a space station is like being on a deserted island. A crew of two or three astronauts has to survive far from home for weeks or months.

If their mission is to be a success, they have to learn to live and work together as a team. Crew members have to learn to share jobs, such as cleaning and repairs. They also have to talk about problems and discuss how to deal with them.

Astronauts first feel the influence of weightlessness (失重) when the rocket engines are turned off. Straight away, they begin to float (漂浮), held down only by seat belts. Weightlessness allows astronauts to appear. superhuman strength. They can lift objects that would be far too heavy to move on the earth.

Without the influence of gravity (重力), astronauts become weak. To stay fit, they have to exercise several hours each day. In a space station, there is no up or down. There is no difference between a floor and a ceiling (天花板). This can make astronauts feel sick until they get used to this strange environment.

Unless we spend money to spot（認出，發(fā)現(xiàn)） and prevent asteroids（小行星）now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.

Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids（流星體） that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.

Buy $500 million worth of new telescopes right now, they spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course.

Is it worth it？ Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: （1） How likely the event is; （2） How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare but if one did fall. It would be the end of the world. “If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It’s that simple. ”

The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets（隊，車隊） of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth？ “The world has less fear from doomsday rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them.” said a New York Times article.

【1】What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids？

A.They are heavenly bodies different in composition.B.They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.

C.There are more asteroids than meteoroids.D.Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.

【2】What do scientists say about the collision, of an asteroid with Earth？

A.It is very unlikely but the danger exists.

B.Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.

C.Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.

D.It’s still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.

【3】What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids？

A.It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.

B.It may create more problems than it might solve.

C.It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.

D.Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.

【4】We can conclude from the passage that

A.while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world.

B.asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future.

C.the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime.

D.workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth.

【5】Which of the following best describes the author’s tone in this passage？
