18、to stay in orbit (轨道) for a few days or more. And this stands to reason, if youre paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! So in order for tourism to reach its full potential theres going to be a need for orbital accommodation or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit Hotels
19、in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotelprivate rooms, meals and bars. But theyll also offer two unique (独特的) experiences: impressive views of the Earth and space, and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravityincluding sports and other activities that make use of this.The h
20、otels themselves will vary greatlyfrom being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury (奢侈的) structures at a later date. Its actually surprising that as late as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those wh o might be expected to design them havent expec
21、ted launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible.Lots of people whove been to space have described vividly what its like to live in zero gravity.

27、rowing up. It was widely believed that milk was integral in building strong bones and teeth. Theres no doubt that dairy products (乳制品), and milk in particular, are high in protein and calcium, and most milk products are supplemented (补充) with Vitamin D and Vitamin A.While its well known that our bon
28、es need calcium, some studies suggest that high calcium intake doesnt necessarily lower a persons risk for fractures (骨折). A Harvard study found that people who drank two or more glasses of milk had no greater protection from breaking a bone than those who drank a glass or less a week.Theres no doub
29、t that we need calcium. Some anti-dairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to heart disease. Much of this claim is based on high fat and high dairy products, like cheeses and creams, which may indeed contribute to cardiovascular (心血管的) problems. Some studies have linked high milk intakes with a ri
30、sk of prostate cancer; this seems to be caused by high-fat dairy products, not dairy in general.Although milk was always regarded as one of the most important things we need for our bones, yet least promoted factors involved in strengthening bones. Perhaps we should think of dairy as less like a nut
31、rient and more like a food. If you like it, eat it. If not, find some others.

34、milk as a child.C. He regards milk as a nutrient. D. He always cares about calcium, protein when he eats something.CSelf-confidence is important to achieve success. Children are sensitive (敏感的) and need encouragement to learn. They need the support from parents and adults to grow up well-balanced. C
35、onfidence in childr en comes from positive support of adults.It is important that children develop a positi ve image of their own. A positive image means that they are self-confident, that they know their own limits and trust their own abilities. P eople who have a positive image enjoy their lives a
36、nd can handle themselves in tough situations. So, it is the same situation for children; in order to build self-confidence, parents need to show confidence in their children. This feeling is not born. Its created in the childrens environment. Verbal and non-verbal hints (暗示) are important to convey
37、a message of confidence. Confid ence from adults gives the children the ability to handle new challenges and activities.Accept children for who they are. Whatever the children do right, we should praise them and encourage them. If children do something inappropriate, then we have to correct them (wi
38、thout yelling at them). They need to know that without making mistakes, there can be no wisdom.Children learn a lot more by trying for themselves though it will take longer and probably be messier. Patience and confidence can do a lot. Give children the time and space to try something new and learn
39、from their mistakes. Provide them with help, if they need it. Be proud of them, whether or not they succeed. Children with self-confidence are not frightened by new experiences or learning situations.Act as a role model. Children learn the most from your behavior. Children always imitate adults beha
40、vior, good and bad. They want to be adults themselves. If they see you cussing (诅咒) , they will cuss. If they see you helping others, they will try to help. Abused children will become child-abusers. Building confidence in children will help them achieve success as adults.9. The main purpo se of the

43、 my computer working on a project that was very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed (消耗) by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused (困惑的) to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed (沮丧). I tried a rang
44、e of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to no avail. It was only when I turned to meditation (沉思) for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!The very next day, I grabbed my
45、camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping (蹦蹦跳跳) along the path singing, “Im s
46、inging in the rain”, a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults (成年人) we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain (限制) our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes wal
47、king in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.If you feel a little low in spirits and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let you
