一、任务型阅读。
阅读下面短文，从A—E中选出适当的选项填在横线上，并回答第5小题。有一项多余。
Interviewer: 1.
Colonel Mann: It was fun but also very challenging: Everything floats away unless you tie it down! I loved seeing the sunrise every 90 minutes. And seeing Earth really gives you a positive outlook.
Interviewer: 2.
Colonel Mann: It's so dark out there and you feel so alone, floating in your spacesuit. You look down and see Earth below you. It feels like you are flying on top of the world—and you are!
Interviewer: Was it hard to do?
Colonel Mann: We had team difficulties at first. I grew up playing soccer, and just like in sports, you have to work as a team in space. We kept trying new ideas to troubleshoot the problem. Finally, we all got it to work. Everyone cheered, both in space and on the ground.
Interviewer: 3.
Colonel Mann: I think it's important to celebrate our diversity and community to young people. Knowing that a native American woman is flying in space may inspire kids to go after their own dreams.
Interviewer: 4.
Colonel Mann: Never give up on yourself. It might be scary to take on something hard, but don't be afraid to try new things. Go out and try it. If you aren't successful, then learn from it, work hard, and try again. That's how you'll build mental toughness and find success. Don't get discouraged!
