        What does an astronaut (宇航員) eat in space? This is a question that
will puzzle many, as people rarely think of that. In the early space-travel
years, astronauts ate dehydrated (脫水的) foods that were eaten through
straws(吸管). In today's space-age, the food that they eat is totally different.
They eat food in the same way as people do on Earth.
        Astronauts are able to prepare and eat a variety (多樣化)of foods in
space. Some can be eaten in their natural form, like fruits; while some need to add water, like noodles. However, there are no refrigerators, so the food has
to be prepared and eaten without being Stored for a long time. When the
astronauts are hungry, they simply eat the food by opening the food ackages and with a fork, knife, and spoon.
       Just like people on Earth, astronauts also eat three meals a day which
include breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sometimes they also eat snacks. The US
space agency NASA has found out that an astronaut's diet reduces(減少) by
about 70% on a space mission, though he has a wide range of foods to
choose from like nuts, chicken, beef, seafood, and candies. Drinks in the
spaceship include coffee, tea, juices, and lemonade.
       Astronauts can also request a particular food that they would like to have in space. Scientists are always experimenting and trying out different space
foods that can be offered to astronauts when on space missions.

What’s the coolest kind of transportation(交通) for middle school students back from winter holidays? A racing bike? A car? No, it’s a special kind of shoes called Heelys(暴走鞋). Heelys look just like common sports shoes, but they have a wheel(輪子) hidden(藏) in the heel(鞋跟). So instead of walking, kids can “fly” around in them.

“Wearing Heelys is fun and cool!” said Wu Peng, a boy who wore them on his first day back at No. 6 Middle School in Beijing. Wu Peng said he loves the shoes so much that he wears them to go here and there. Sometimes he even follows his parents’ car to the supermarket in his Heelys!

Other students also think they are very cool, but some aren’t so lucky with their Heelys. It’s said that some children fell down and got hurt while wearing these shoes.

       What would you do if you found a snake in your house? Many people might be afraid or try to kill
it. However, if you live in North Carolina in the USA, one thing you can do is to call the Snake Catchers.
       The Snake Catchers are four men who love snakes,  even poisonous ones.  Their newspaper
advertisement says, "Snake Catchers: free snake removal(除去)一Please do not kill them - Call us. "
       The Snake Catchers, who started their service in 1998, don't charge anything for helping people.
"We do this as a hobby," explained Fred Johnson, one of the Snake Catchers.
       Because of their love of snakes, the Snake Catchers try to keep them alive. "One man asked us to
kill a python(蟒蛇), so he could make a pair of boots from the skin. We refused, because we like snakes, and we don't want to see them killed, " said Fred.
       Some of the snakes that they catch are kept as pets; some are given to the North Carolina State
University. Most, including the poisonous snakes, are set free in the wild, usually in a national park.
       Fred suggests that people should treat snakes with care. "Actually snakes are very shy and gentle
creatures. They only attack if they are frightened. However, you have to know how to treat a snake
properly!"
       According to one happy family, the Snake Catchers are good. One day, the Greenwood family
found a snake skin in the kitchen.  They looked very carefully and saw a snake sleeping behind a
cupboard. They thought about what to do. Then Steve Greenwood remembered the advertisement for
the Snake Catchers. He called them.
       "The Snake Catchers arrived within an hour and they finished the job quickly too," said Steve
Greenwood. "One of them went into the kitchen, found the snake and took it out alive. The Snake
Catchers did a very good job."
       Last year, the Snake Catchers removed more than seventy snakes from houses in North Carolina.
1. The Snake Catchers catch snakes because ______.
A. they want to kill the snakes
