All About Astronauts

Part 1. Special Mission

Astronauts travel into space. The astronauts work in teams to do missions in space. One team of U.S. astronauts had a very special mission to fly from Earth to the moon in July of 1969. People all over the world watched on TV as this team arrived at the moon. The astronaut Neil Armstrong, the captain of the team, became the first person to walk on the moon. After that, other astronauts went on missions to the moon. They collected samples of moon rocks and moon dirt, and they brought them back to Earth.

Part 2. Astronauts' Training

It takes lot of study and hard work to become a real astronaut. Astronauts take special training to learn more about space flight. They also learn about rockets, stars, and planets. They learn about their missions, too. Before their mission, Neil Armstrong and his team studied the moon and the rocks they might find. Some of them are pilots. They need to know how to fly a spacecraft. They use special models to practice flying the spacecraft. They also learn how to wear a space suit. It's usually big and heavy. An astronaut learns how to move in the suit by going into a pool. Moving around underwater feels like moving around in space.

Part 3. __________________

On the moon and out in space, there is little or no gravity（重力）. When the spacecraft flies into space, the things inside float（漂浮）around. Astronauts eat food from special packages. The packages are tied to a tray, so the food doesn't fly away. When astronauts want to sleep or exercise, they wear a special strap which can hold them in place.

Sometimes astronauts need to do work outside the spacecraft. Temperatures in space can be very hot or very cold. That's why they must put on their space suits. Furthermore, there is no air in space, the suit can help an astronaut breathe.
