I like to travel. I have been fortunate enough to make trips to half a dozen countries in Europe. I enjoy seeing new things, experiencing other cultures and m 1.new people. My wife and I recently came back from a driving trip that covered more than 17, 000 kilometers and a little more than six weeks on the road. It was a wonderful adventure filled with new sights and s2..

We're home now and have settled back into our daily routine of life. We live in a small town, so there are not the same sorts of attractions o3.in a big city. That does not, of course, mean there is nothing to do, just that we don’t have the big shows and all the shops and other activities a city can provide. Actually, our town is a f4.place where people say hello to you on the street whether they know you or not, a place where you can walk to almost anywhere you want to go and leave the car at home and a place where being outside is usually very nice because we have generally good weather.

I find that when I am at home, particularly for a while when we have just r5.from a trip, I feel very pleased. Perhaps it is because everything around me is familiar and the daily routine is so much the same that I can move through it almost without thinking. Perhaps it is because our friends are here, because we can have meals at home instead of always being in restaurants a6.it's nice to let someone else do the cooking and because I can sleep in my own bed. There are times I think it would be nice to simply stop travelling and stay home.

We will travel again and we feel fortunate to be able to do so. It's a wonderful world and we want to see as much of it as we can. S7., one of the best things about travelling for me is coming home. I'm very content here even if it is difficult to say exactly why.

For Serena Aunon-Chancellor, joining the Young Astronauts Club was more than an after-school hobby, it was the very beginning of her journey to space!

Serena was born on April 9, 1976, in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. When she was growing up in the 1980s, NASA launched space shuttles(发射航天飞机) many times a year. One day as she was watching a shuttle launch on TV, Serena’s father said, “You want to work for NASA? You need to be an engineer.” Serena’s father was an engineer himself. And he was right: half of all astronauts have studied engineering. From then on, Serena planned to be an engineer.

When she turned sixteen, Serena’s parents gave her an amazing gift—a weekly trip to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. Her experiences at Space Camp showed Serena that her childhood dream was possible. In college, Serena got a degree in electrical engineering. After that, she attended medical school and studied aerospace medicine.

In 2006, Serena worked as a flight surgeon(航空医师) at NASA, helping astronauts in the United States and Russia. She loved helping through medicine, but she still wanted to be an astronaut. Every year thousands of people apply to the astronaut training program and only ten to fifteen people are chosen. In 2009, Serena got the phone call she had been hoping for since she was a kid: She was chosen to be an astronaut!

Last June, Serena flew to space for the first time! While in space, she lived aboard the International Space Station and did scientific studies. Think of her the next time you look to the stars!

2.The weeklong trip to Space Camp made Serena realize that _______________.

A. being sixteen was amazing B. she needed to go to college
