Read the text about life in space. Match the paragraphs to the information.
A. The first astronauts to come into space only went up for short trips to see what it was like. Astronauts may
now spend weeks or even months living and working in space. They live in a large spacecraft that they often
call a space station, which circles or travels around Earth. The astronauts on board spend their days doing
scientific studies such as examining the effects of space on the human body and the growth of plants. They
also keep the space station running in the right way.
B. Living in space for a long time will affect an astronaut's body. Many astronauts get space sicknesses, such
as a cold head, stuffy nose or puffy face, shortly after entering space. That is because there is not enough
gravity in space. Astronauts will have to exercise to stop their muscles from becoming weak. They also need
to monitor their bodies to ensure good health and research the effects of space travel on the human body.
Besides doing their jobs, astronauts do the same activities back on Earth. For example, they will eat their
meals, sleep, relax and enjoy themselves.
C. Eating food in space is a real challenge. In space, everything will become weightless and start to float away.
For instance, food will not stay on a plate, and drinks will drift away from a glass. For that reason, people will
have to put them in some special packages, so the astronauts will be able to eat the food directly from the
packages. For each space travel, astronauts will bring freeze-dried food. The food will become soft and sticky
after the astronauts add water and heat them. They have fresh food delivery from Earth, too.
21. Having difficulty in eating -> ___________
22. Doing exercise to keep the body strong -> ___________
23. The same daily activities even in space -> ___________
24. Keeping the machine working perfectly -> ___________
25. Doing some research on the impact of space on humans and plants -> ___________
