【8-11】   We must all have looked at the night sky, dreaming about traveling to the outer space to take alook at the big bright moon and stars. Although most of us finally gave up the idea of traveling to themoon and stars, a small group of people actually live out this great dream and become astronauts.   It sounds interesting to fly in the space,   8   . First of all, not everyone can become anastronaut. Most of the work astronauts do is to fly in the spaceship to the outer space and help collectas much information about moon and stars as possible.   9   so that they can study these collectedinformation and decide what is useful and send it back to the Earth. Also, astronauts need to be goodat machines and engines because   10   . Once they break down, astronauts need to fix them ontheir own. No helper can travel all the way up to the Space Station to give them a hand, and if theycan’t fix them, they might never be able to return to the Earth. Last, life in the outer space is verydifferent from the one we have on the Earth.   11   , so they have to wear special clothes andhelmets to avoid losing body heat and help them breathe. Without a strong and healthy body, theastronauts may not work and stay in the space. If you are still interested in becoming an astronaut,why not give it a try? Who knows if you will become the chosen one and have a chance to “walk” upon the moon?  engine 引擎 helmet 頭盔 breathe 呼吸
