When we heard that our friend astronaut Gregory Chamitorff was going to be on board the last flight of the space shuttle Endeavour, we asked him if he would answer some questions from space. He said yes!

Here are our questions and Greg’s answers from space.

What’s the best thing about being in space?

Zero-gravity（失重） is by far the best thing about being in space. It does not really mean that there is no gravity. It means that we are moving around Earth in the same way the space station is moving around Earth. So we are floating inside the space station.

We travel around Earth once every 90 minutes. That’s 16 sunrises and sunsets every day. Really fast!

Inside the station, we can fly around like superman. It’s an amazing feeling, and I hope everyone gets a chance to fly in space someday to experience the wonder of zero-gravity.

What do you do for fun in the space shuttle?

There are so many things you can do in zero-gravity that are fun. Flying around is fun. Eating food that floats is fun.

I like to play like Superman and see how far I can fly without touching any walls. Another fun thing is to play with water. Most of all, the most exciting thing to do is to look out the window at our beautiful planet Earth below. You never get tired of seeing it like that, the way it really is and it can never be seen that way while standing on its surface.

What’s the coolest thing about being on a spacewalk?

Wow! Doing a spacewalk is cool. There is nothing more wonderful than floating in space in your own space suit. It’s amazing, and when you are doing a spacewalk, you are “out there” just floating in empty space, like the earth, like the moon, like the sun, like the space station. It’s not science fiction. It’s real.

1. Why does Greg think doing a spacewalk is the coolest thing?

A. He can wear his own space suit then.

B. He can see the moon when doing that.

C. He can see the earth by doing so.

D. He thinks it’s great flying in empty space.

2.Which of the following best shows how Greg feels?

A. Frightened　　　　 B. Excited　　　　　　 C. Sad　　　　　　　 D. Surprised

3.What can we know from the text?

A. Greg thinks doing a spacewalk is science fiction.

B. Greg floats inside the space station without gravity.

C. Everyone has the chance to experience the wonder of zero-gravity.

D. In the space shuttle, Greg can see the shape of the whole earth clearly.

If we look around us at the things we have purchased at some point in our lives, we would no doubt notice that not everything we own is being put to good use: the thick woolen coat which we thought looked trendy despite the fact that we live in a tropical country. the smartphone that got put away when we bought ourselves the newest model, or even the guest room in our house that somehow got turned into a storeroom.

Those underutilized(未充分使用的) items may seem useless to some, but could be of value to others. With the occurrence of the Internet, online communities have figured out a way to generate profit from the sharing of those underused property, Using websites and social media groups that facilitate the buying and selling of second-hand goods it is now easier than ever for peer-to-peer sharing activities to take place. And this is known as the sharing economy.

These popular online platforms are providing a chance for people to make a quick fortune. To give an example, busy parents previously might not have bothered with setting up a stall at the local market to sell their children’s old equipment, but with online marketplaces, parents are now able to sell on those hardly worn baby clothes that their children have outgrown so as to put some cash back into their pockets.

Businesses have also caught on to the profitability of the sharing economy and are seeking to gain from making use of those underutilized resources. Companies like Airbnb act as a middleman for people to cash in on their unused rooms and houses and let them out as profitable accommodation. Another example is Uber, which encourages people to use their own personal cars as taxis to make some extra cash in their free time.

This move towards a sharing economy is not without criticisms. Unlike businesses, unregulated individuals do not have to follow certain regulations and this can lead to poorer and inconsistent quality of goods and services and a higher risk of fraud. Nevertheless, in the consumerist society we live in today, the increased opportunities to sell on our unwanted and underused goods can lead to a lesser impact on our environment.

1.Why can people now sell things more easily?

A. People nowadays buy more things.

B. Businesses want to buy the things they don t use.

C. There are now more market stalls.

D. There are now online platforms to do business.

2.Which of these is something that we might underutilize?

A. Thick coat in a cold country.

B. Clothes our babies don' t or can't wear any more.

C. The latest smartphone.

D. The storeroom in our house.

3.It might be a problem for unregulated individuals to sell to others because _____.

A. what they sell might be of a lower quality.

B. they have to follow certain regulations.

C. they don't have a business license.

D. they like to criticize their buyers.

4.What might be a good title for this article?

A. The consumerist society B. Parents who need money

C. The rise of the sharing economy D. Why we buy things we don't need
