Before man had flown in space, it was thought that his physical and mental capabilities might be affected by long period of weightlessness, and that he might be endangered by high levels of radiation. Yuri Gagarin’s first space flight in April 1961 showed that man could live in space and although his journey only lasted for 108 minutes, it gave encouragement to those interested in the future of manned space flight. In fact, most of the early fears about man’s health in space have proved groundless, and although several odd medical effects have been observed, none has seriously affected man’s ability for useful work. All astronauts undergo strenuous training to prepare them for the experience of space flight but, despite this, most astronauts suffer from space sickness, soon wears off, and there appears to be no medical reason why man cannot live in space for long periods of time. A constant check is kept on the health of all astronauts during their mission. Small medical detectors which monitor their heartbeats, pulse rates, breathing and temperatures are taped to their bodies. All food eaten in space so far has been prepared on Earth. The alternative possibilities of making food from waste products or growing it in space have received little serious consideration. The first space foods were simply baby foods. In the first American space flights, astronauts ate natural foods in dried bite-sized squares or in a form that could be mixed with cold water and squeezed into the mouth. The squares were coated to prevent them from breaking up into small pieces, and their corners were rounded to prevent them from cutting the astronauts’ mouths. Later astronauts ate “sticky” foods with a spoon, and hot as well as cold water was available for making up the dried meals. These two developments have made eating in space much more pleasant. 1. The word “strenuous” is closest in meaning to ___. A. careful B. serious C. laborious 2. How is the health of human beings affected in space? A. The effects can be unpleasant but harmless. B. Longer space flights are more dangerous to health. C. Space sickness lasts throughout the flight. D. There is a slight risk of heart problems. 3. How has space food improved since the first space flights? A. The food is now produced in bite-sized squares. B. There is a greater variety of foods available. C. Baby food has been cut from the diet. D. Some normal food is now available. 4. All of the following sentences are true EXCEPT ____. A. Man’s health in space is not unsolvable problem.. D. hardly.

For many astronauts, space sickness___. A. appears at the first stage of their flights. B. has no effect at all. C. affects their health seriously. D. has been considered a part of their flights. 7. What do we learn of early space food? A. It was eaten cold. B. It was inconvenient because it dissolved. C. It was surprisingly tasty. D. The edges cut the astronauts’ mouths. 8.
