On October 12th, Shenzhou-14 crew members gave a live class to the students on Earth. During the class, the crew showed the students a science glove-box, 【小题1】 the plants experiments are performed. Then, the astronauts had real-time interactions with students 【小题2】 video calls and they answered students’ questions like “What kinds of plants 【小题3】 (bring) to space in future spaceflights?” At the end of the class, the crew said, “We expect you guys 【小题4】 (build) our space home better in the future.”

Emily Dobek is a seventh-graded at East Prairie Elementary School. Recently she 【小题1】(win) a national prize by designing a space station for travelling to Mars.

Dobek races her interest in space and the universe back   【小题2】Grade Three when she and her father watched a blood moon — a total lunar eclipse (月食)— on the roof of their house. She says that night watching the lunar eclipse awakened her passion 【小题3】has yet to run out of fuel.

So 【小题4】her teacher, Andrew Smeeton, received information about the national challenge, she immediately had one student in mind.

“I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her research,” Smeeton said. “When she started, bone density (骨密度) of astronauts 【小题5】(research) immediately to figure out how to survive on Mars.”

According to Dobek’ design, the Mars Storage Station (MSS) will be built 【小题6】(accommodate) the need for sufficient supplies. She explains how her spacecraft — the Adventure — will be joined to a space station before flying to the MSS to load supplies. Her design includes the Self Growing Farm, and she details 【小题7】it would work with elements on Mars.

Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobek’s design. A simulator (模拟器) allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual reality environment. Rooms with circular ceilings allow astronauts to watch 【小题8】(download) shows and even see places on Earth, such as their homes.

Chief among her immediate goals, she said, is to inspire 【小题9】with this project. “I want to tell other kids to follow their passions,” Dobek said, “【小题10】they want to do, they should kind of just push for it. They should always try their best.”

As people across the country watched the launch of China’s Shenzhou-14 spaceship closely,【小题1】pen floating in the capsule (太空舱)【小题2】(catch) the attention of many people.

The pen was produced by Shaoguan Shengyi Stationery Co., Ltd., which is a pioneer in 【小题3】(make) pens used in outer space.

The space pen is different【小题4】a common pen. A common pen can neither withstand the influence and vibration (震动) experienced by the spaceship during rocket launch (发射) nor write【小题5】(proper) in an environment of outer space: The pen【小题6】(have) a head made of special materials to make it possible to write in outer space. The ink within the pen is also a special liquid with high viscosity (黏性), making writing stick to surfaces closely instead of flying off as dangerous【小题7】(drop). What’s more, the head【小题8】is less sharp than the head of a normal pen can be safely used in the cabin.

A space pen developed by the company【小题9】(send) into space aboard the Shenzhen-10 spacecraft in 2013, making China the【小题10】(two) country in the world able to independently produce a pen usable in space.
