Zero gravity looks cool. But what about the thing no one likes to talk about? Yes, that is right: going to bathroom. Zero gravity makes this everyday task quite a challenge. Astronauts have to be toilet-trained all over again.
The Apollo astronauts raised themselves off the seat of their chairs and stuck a clear plastic bag to their back sides with sticky strips. A second astronaut watched closely to be sure no waste matter escaped the seal. (You would not want that stuff floating around the cabin!) When the deed was done, the astronaut cleaned up with a piece of plastic attached to the inside of the bag, removed the bag, dropped a
disinfectant pill in with the waste matter, and put the whole thing, sealed, into a special container.
Donald W. Rethke, an engineer for Hamilton Standard Space Systems, developed a more private way to answer nature’s call: the space toilet. It is somewhat like the kind of toilet one would find on commercial airplanes --- with unique adaptations for zero gravity, of course. For instance, it has thigh bars that keep the astronaut from floating off the seat.
The astronaut (male or female) defecates (排便) in a bag and urinates (排尿) in a hose（软管）. Solid and liquid wastes are kept separated because at least 85% of the urine is recycled and, yes, after careful filtration（过滤）, used for drinking and other purposes. (Water is always in demand in space.) A vacuum sucks the waste materials into the toilet, where the waste is compacted into hamburger-like patties for easy storage. Although not exactly like an earthbound visit to the toilet, it is at the very least much more private than in the early days of space travel.
50. According to the first paragraph, the lack of the gravity can turn something as simple as _______ into a major challenge.
A. eating B. taking baths C. sleeping D. going to the restroom
51. How did astronauts use toilet systems in the Apollo days？
A. None of the waste was separated as it is now.
B. Solid waste was compressed （压缩）and stored on board.
C. The toilet units used water to remove the waste through the system.
D. The astronauts each used their own private restroom.
52. To ensure the user remains seated, the toilet comes equipped with _______
A. a plastic bag B. a sticky strip C. a wide hose D. a thigh bar
53. What can be inferred from the fact that most of the astronauts’ urine is recycled?
A.The recycled water tastes better.
B. Water is limited on the space shuttle.
C. It is very convenient to get their urine recycled.
D. Space science includes recycling urine.
C
When I first heard about geocaching（地理寻宝），I was skeptical. But the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like an interesting idea. I at least wanted to try it once.
Having familiarized myself with how the game works, I set out in search of my first cache. My trip took me through a series of lively hutong（胡同), past a number of small temples, and right into the courtyard of a quiet youth hotel. I spent several minutes looking around, but couldn't find anything. Just before I was about to give up, I spotted a colorful object in the crack of a wall. Could it be the hidden cache?
At that moment a group of backpackers arrived. According to the game's rules, people who are not in the game must not be allowed to find out about secret caches. So I pretended to make a phone call while waiting for them to leave. When the coast was clear, I grabbed the object. It was the cache! I opened it and pulled out a crumpled（皱的）sheet of paper with several names and celebratory messages written on it. I added my own and replaced the cache in its hiding place, ready for the next geocacher to find.
It may seem like a simple game, but the idea that there are caches hidden all around us is exciting. Once you're hooked, it's easy to set yourself the goal of finding every single cache in a neighborhood or even an entire city. The real treasure, however, is not the cache itself, but the places it takes you to.
Hunting for further caches has since introduced me to places which I didn't even know existed. Some are peaceful parks, while others are forgotten historical sites. A few caches have even been in places I passed regularly without giving them any thought. Now, I feel a much closer connection.
54. What was the author's initial（最初的） attitude to geocaching?
A. He thought it was interesting.
B. He wanted to try it at once.
C. He showed little interest in it.
D. He found it unsuitable for him.
55. When a group of backpackers were approaching, the author____________.
A. pretended to be cleaning the yard
B. made a call to other geocachers
C. didn't allow them to come in
D. tried to keep the cache secret
56. In what way does the author benefit from geocaching?
A. He's more familiar with the city.
B. He has found much treasure.
C. He has made more friends.
D. He has mastered hunting.
D
Some people are so rude!
Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Don't these people realize that they're wasting your time?
Maybe I'm the rude one for not appreciating life's little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don't make sense to people drowning in digital communication.
In texts, you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello; E-mail, too, is slower than a text; Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.
My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mails?” my sister asked. “Just text him.”
In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business's phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.
How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some
people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. Others, like me, want no reply.
The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.
57. What does the underlined word "exasperated" mean in the fifth paragraph?
A. Worried. B. Annoyed. C. Surprised. D. Tired.
58. Why didn't the writer reply to his father?
A. He didn’t want to talk with his father. B. He liked text messages better.
C. He didn’t receive any voice mail messages. D. He enjoyed checking his voice mails.
59. Which of the following does the writer agree to?
A. Dealing with voice mail should vary with each person.
B. Declaring who they are or saying hello in texts is necessary.
C. People needn't learn from one another in traditional societies.
D. People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.
60. What's the best title of this passage?
A. Nowadays: what means should we use in communication
B. Nowadays: do you like leaving others a voice message
C. Nowadays: what should we do with text messages
D. Nowadays: do you need a thank-you message

How to Be Happy in Your Life
Newborn babies are the happiest in the world. Unfortunately, as we grow up, worries start working up their way upon our minds. 61 However, we can achieve
happiness again with just some small changes.
Make a choice. Happiness is a matter of choice. A person who knows how to be happy will always be happy, no matter what situation we put him into. On the other hand, a person who always finds faults with everyone and everything around him cannot be happy, no matter how hard he tries.
Laugh a lot. When we smile or laugh, the muscles in our face excite the brain to produce “happy chemicals”. These chemicals make us feel happy. 62 Laugh at ourselves, laugh at our problems, laugh at our little worries and then see what difference it makes to our life.
63 Being angry with others at their mistakes will earn us nothing. Instead it will make us even more unhappy. Just letting go of others’ mistakes every once in a while helps us to be happy.
Live out of the past. Often, the dark shadows from our past ruin every single second of our life and turn it into a bad memory. 64
Learn to give. Giving is a satisfying experience and the joy of giving cannot be expressed in words. One who gives all his life ends up leading a happier life than the one who concentrates only on receiving.
One must understand that happiness is a state of mind. 65 Thus, the answer to the question “how to be happy in life” only lies within us.
A. Forget others’ mistakes.
B. Sounds silly, but it does work.
C. Finally, we forget what happiness is.
D. So, find humor in everything around us.
E. Start with little things and work up to bigger ones.
F. Nothing in the world can make us happy or unhappy, unless we allow it.
G. Let go of all bad memories preventing us from leading a happy life at present.
