Is it your dream to fly and to work in space? Do you want to be a NASA astronaut? Like many jobs, the first thing would be to fill out the application. A record-breaking 18,300 people filled out applications recently when NASA announced it was filling its 2018 Astronaut Candidate program. But out of those 18.300 applicants, just eight to 14 will be hired by the U.S. space agency.

It will take 18 months to decide who will be in the new class of astronauts. NASA will review all of the files, which will later go to its current team of astronauts, to make sure they meet the basic qualifications.

The first requirement is the applicants must be U.S. citizens. They need a college degree in engineering, biological science, physical science, puter science, or mathematics. They also need at least three years of experience in a similar field or at least 1,000 hours as a jet airline pilot.

There are requirements to pass a physical test. And then there are personality qualities tests as well. What kinds of personalities is NASA looking for in an astronaut? NASA’s Selection Manager Anne Roemer said, “I think leadership , teamwork, the ability to not only work on a team, lead a team, but also follow, be a follower on a team. munication certainly plays a role, so it’s some pretty mon skills that I think translate into even other professions.”

About 120 applicants will be invited to the Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas, for a first round of interviews, about half of whom will go back for a second round. Once selected, they must plete two years of training in everything about spaceflight-things like learning about all the systems used by NASA, walking in space and Russian language training. Until the U.S.

has a working vehicle to launch into space, NASA still depends on Russia to get astronauts into space.

21. What is the percentage of employment among the applicants? A. About half of them C. About 120 applicants

B. About 8 to 14

D. Less than 0.08 percent

22. Which do you think is the most important personality quality according to NASA’S Selection Manager? A. Devotion

B. Team spirit D. Perseverance

C. munication

23. Which is NOT the basic requirement the applicants have to meet? A. A college degree in required areas. C. Speaking Russian fluently. tests.

24. Which may be the best title for the passage? A. What is takes to be an astronaut?

B

This may be sad to hear, but the number of Britain’s famous red telephone boxes has been falling for decades. The phone box is iconic (标志性的) to foreign fans of Britain and visitors to the country. There are still many left to enjoy, however.

There is deep feeling for the bright red iron-and-glass boxes with the Queen’s coat of arms. The places that still have the red box are mostly small and in the countryside. In these places, the phone box may be a symbol of munity, as well as a landmark.

But there are still several cities, including London, that still have original red phone boxes in place.

For tourists, they probably make the perfect background for a selfie (自拍照). Visit London any day in the summer and you’ll see people with their smart phones taking photos with the red box behind them. People who receive the photo will have no trouble guessing where the selfie was taken.

Ever since mobile phones became more widespread, there has been less and less point in public phones. But although the red boxes are no longer popular places to make a call from, new uses are being found for them all the time. The famous design created by Giles Gilbert Scott back in 1924 lives on, but in ways the British architect would never have imagined.

B. What an astronaut should train in?

B. Related experience.

D. Passing physical and personality

C. NASA wele its most applicants ever. D. NASA 2018 Astronaut Candidate program.

Some of the new ways the phone boxes are being used are quite unusual. For example, some have been changed into tiny coffee shops. Others are hat stores. In one remote area of the country, a red box that had not been used for a long time has been turned into a small lending library.

Even back in their heyday in the last century, phone boxes were put to other uses. Some people even used them as toilets in an emergency.

But for many, they were a safe place to hide if you were caught up in the rain. Britain’s weather is unpredictable: sun one moment, heavy rain the next. So if you are planning to visit the UK and want the perfect British selfie, standing inside a red telephone box in a rainstorm may be your best bet.

25. According to the author, the red phone boxes in Britain are special because . A. they can be put into different kinds of use B. they are only found in the British countryside C. they hold great meaning to some British munities D. they have a deep connection with the royal family

26 We can learn from the article that British red phone boxes . A. are mostly made of wood and glass

B. first appeared in big cities such as London C. were designed by a British architect in the 1930s D. are not used much for phone calls these days

27. The underlined word “heyday” in the second to last paragraph probably means . A. a popular time C. an unusual time

B. a bad time D. a happy time

28. The purpose of the last paragraph is to . A. explain how to deal with Britain’s changeable weather B. describe a mon way of making use of a red phone box in the UK C. advise visitors to take a selfie standing inside a red telephone box D. show how to use a red phone box in the case of an emergency
