John and Sam were friends. They opened a small shop in a small village. One day, they sold out of all their wine (酒), so they drove to the city to buy some.

On their way home, the wind was strong and it was getting colder and colder. Both John and Sam wanted to drink some wine to keep warm, but they had a rule. They couldn’t drink any wine because they had to sell it. Because of the rule, if someone wanted to drink some wine, he had to pay the other twice the price.

Jo hn was a clever man. He took out ten cents and gave it to Sam. He said, “Here is ten cents. Would you please sell me some of your wine?” Sam was a businessman (商人), so he said, “You give me money, so of course I will sell some to you.” Then he passed John a cup of wine.

After drinking the wine, John felt warm soon, but Sam was still cold. Then he took out the ten cents that John just gave to him and said to John, “Here is ten cents. Please sell me some of your wine.” John agreed. Sam drank some wine and also felt much warmer. But after some time, they both felt cold again, so they kept buying wine from each other with the same ten cents. Soon they drank up all of the wine.

As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger.

Scientists have found out that radiation(輻射) is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. Some special medicine may work a little, but there’s no really helpful medicine.

Space junk is also thought a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there are 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are man-made satellites(衛(wèi)星),10% are spaceships, and the rest are space junk. An explosion(爆炸) in 1996 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments(碎片), each at least 4 mm in size, and even a small piece of these knocked against a spaceship window and did some damage. Scientists are working on helpful ways to do with space junk.

Although space is really dangerous, it interests everyone on the earth. In the near future, it may become usual for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space for a few years. So we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment.

1.________ of man-made things in space are space junk.

A. 10% B. 30% C. 60% D. 80%

2._______ is/are the most dangerous to spacemen.

A. Satellites B. Radiation C. Fragments D. Space junk

3.What can people do in space in the near future? ________

A. They can only live and travel in space.

B. They can grow some fruit and vegetables in space.

C. They can find out ways to solve all the problems in space.

D. They can spend a few days or live for a few years in space.

4.The purpose(目的) of the writer who writes the passage is mainly to _________ .

A. introduce what the space is like to us

B. talk about some important space travels

C. tell us the space environment and to care for space

D. show us how interesting the life of the spacemen in space
