四、信息还原
Going to outer space is a little like going camping. Food with all the water dried out is lightweight and doesn't go bad. So, lots of space food is dried on Earth and stored in special packets. 1. ___
On Earth, gravity is the force that keeps your feet on the ground and your sandwich on your plate. 2. ___ To keep food from floating away, astronauts on the spaceship fix the packets to a special tray(托盘). The tray can be fixed to a wall. To prepare their food, astronauts use liquid(液体)forms of salt and pepper. The liquid sticks to the food better. Common salt and pepper would float away, maybe up an astronaut's nose.
3. ___ So astronauts drink everything from a small bag with a straw(吸管)that can
be closed.
Astronauts say that most space food tastes pretty good. Some, such as apples and pudding, is the same as the food you eat on Earth. Astronauts eat tortillas instead of bread because they make fewer crumbs(碎屑). 4. ___ Your body uses food in space the same way it does on Earth. Your body must deal with waste in space too.
During take-off and landing, astronauts can't leave their seats to go to the bathroom. They wear diapers(尿布)under their spacesuits instead. The spaceship has a bathroom in the size of a small closet. The toilet has bars that keep astronauts from floating away. 5. ___
A. But there's nearly no gravity in space.
B. In outer space, everything seems to be different.
C. Liquids float right out of cups and glasses, though.
D. Rubbish from daily life can not be thrown everywhere.
E. Some, such as dried pears, tastes good right out of the packets.
F. Floating crumbs could get stuck in equipment(设备)or an astronaut's eyes.
