The journey to the moon took about four days. When the lunar module (登月舱) landed on the moon’s surface, Armstrong said his famous words: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The two astronauts spent about two and a half hours on the moon. They collected rock samples, took photos, and planted an American flag.

Space exploration is not just about adventure and discovery. It also brings many benefits to people on Earth.
One of the biggest benefits is the development of new technology. For example, space missions require lightweight and durable materials. These materials are now used in everyday products like sports equipment and medical devices. NASA’s research on water purification in space has also helped improve clean water systems on Earth.
Another benefit is the advancement of scientific knowledge. Studying other planets helps us understand how the solar system formed. Space telescopes have discovered many new stars and galaxies, expanding our knowledge of the universe.
Space exploration also encourages international cooperation. Countries work together on projects like the International Space Station, sharing technology and knowledge. This cooperation helps build better relationships between nations.
Finally, space exploration inspires young people to study science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Many students become interested in these subjects after learning about space missions, which helps create a talented workforce for the future.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to live in space Astronauts face many challenges, but they also have unique experiences.
One of the biggest challenges is weightlessness. In space, everything floats, so astronauts have to tie themselves to their beds to sleep. Eating is also different — they eat special foods that are either freeze-dried or in tubes. This prevents food from floating around the spacecraft.
Astronauts also need to exercise for two hours every day. Without gravity, their muscles and bones can become weak. They use special exercise equipment to stay fit.
Despite the challenges, living in space is amazing. Astronauts can see the beautiful blue Earth from space and watch sunrises and sunsets every 45 minutes. They also get to do scientific experiments that can’t be done on Earth.
Working in space requires teamwork and training. Astronauts must learn to work together to solve problems. They also need to be prepared for emergencies, such as equipment failures.
42. What is one challenge astronauts face in space
A. Too much gravity B. Weightlessness C. Lack of food D. No sunlight
43. Why do astronauts exercise for two hours every day
A. To have fun B. To prepare for emergencies C. To stay fit D. To test equipment
44. How often do astronauts see sunrises and sunsets in space
A. Every 45 minutes B. Every hour C. Every day D. Every week
45. What is the main idea of the passage
A. How to become an astronaut B. The challenges and experiences of living in space C. The history of space missions D. The equipment used in space
