Astronaut(宇航员)Scott Kelly has been living on the International Space Station(ISS)since March 28, 2015. And just like any other home, the ISS requires some housekeeping, in the form of regular work and repairs.

That is why Kelly and his partner Kjell Lindgren performed activities, outside the station on Wednesday. The operation began at 8:03 am and lasted for more than seven hours. It was the first spacewalk for both men.

The ISS has been in continual use for 15 years, and has hosted over 200 people, including astronauts and private tourists. During their activities, Kelly and Lindgren did basic electrical work, such as attaching new wires that will provide power to docking ports(舱门)on the station. The ports will be used when other people arrive at the ISS. Also, the two astronauts fixed a thermal(防寒的)cover on a key scientific instrument on the station to protect it from the freezing temperatures of space.

As the more senior astronaut, Kelly led the spacewalk. However, Lindgren dealt with some of the more challenging parts of the job as he has longer arms than Kelly.

During a spacewalk, the simplest work becomes a difficult task. Kelly and Lindgren spent months training and practicing for the operation. The preparation began in NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Lab(NBL). Here astronauts are made to work in an environment similar to the one outside the space station.

Even getting the space suits ready can take days. While each suit is built to fit the astronaut perfectly who will wear it, adjustments(调整)need to be made right up to the time when the spacewalk begins. The adjustments address any change in the astronauts' bodies that have occurred as a result of being in a gravity-free environment.

【小题1】Why did Kelly and Lindgren take the spacewalk?
A.To clean up the ISS.B.To keep the ISS in good condition.
C.To test their new space suits.D.To carry out a scientific experiment.
【小题2】What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A.How the ISS is working properly.
B.Why the docking ports are useful.
C.How the astronauts performed the spacewalk.
D.What the two astronauts did in the spacewalk.
【小题3】Why did Kjell Lindgren do more challenging work than Kelly during the spacewalk?
A.He knew more about the station.B.He was the leader of the team.
C.He had a longer reach.D.He had more experience of spacewalk
【小题4】What does the underlined word "address" in the last paragraph mean?
A.Lead to.B.Belong to.C.Interact with.D.Deal with

At 5:30 am, carer(护工)Ivy Bowen's clock wakes her up. She puts on her uniform, and then walks to a bus stop to the hospital where she works. Two hours and two buses later, the 68-year-old arrives at 8:00 am, half an hour before her shift(轮班).

For Tracey Griffiths and her son Carl, this half an hour has been life-changing. Because for nearly two years, Ivy has spent that time bringing Carl cups of tea and chatting. Thanks to these chats, as well as Ivy's devotion and caring skills, Carl has begun speaking again after four years of silence.

Four years ago, a serious accident left Carl unable to move and talk. When he did finally speak, one of his first words, unsurprisingly, was "Ivy". "Ivy is there and it makes a huge difference. Thanks to her, Carl's speech is coming on by leaps and bounds," says Tracey.

Ivy should have retired(退休)two years ago but she is still there, because she wants to be, and so do the hospital's managers and her grateful patients. Ivy is now in charge of 25 patients at the hospital. She makes tea and coffee for families as well as patients, and makes sure that everyone in her care gets enough fresh water. She also helps with feeding, giving creams or anything else that might need doing.

Ivy's great wish to improve the lives of patients has driven her to find other ways, in which she can help them out. For Ivy, the recipe for good care is simple. "Treat everyone as you would like to be treated yourself," she says. "I love everything about working at the hospital. To be able to come in, have a chat and change someone's day a bit, it means a lot."

【小题1】When should Ivy Bowen begin her work every morning?
A.At 5:30.B.At 7:30.
C.At 8:00.D.At8:30.
【小题2】What's Ivy's main duty in the hospital?
A.To chat with the patients.B.To give creams to the patients.
C.To feed all the patients.D.To provide water for the patients.
【小题3】Who was Carl?
A.Ivy's son.B.Ivy's patient.
C.The nursing director.D.A famous doctor.
【小题4】What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
A.Carl has great difficulty in keeping silent.
B.Carl makes a huge difference to Ivy's career.
C.Carl is too afraid to see the carers as well as doctors.
D.Carl has made progress in speaking with the help of Ivy.
