Question

It is interesting how NASA(美国航天航空局) chose their astronauts for landing them on the moon. They chose men   36   the ages of twenty and thirty-five. There were about fifty of them. Some were   37   air pilots, and  38   were scientists with two or three degrees. NASA telephoned each man they were going to choose, told him the plans and the   39   they might get into. They then asked him if he was willing to be trained as an astronaut, “How could any man   40   such an exciting job?” One of them said, “Dangerous? Of course. It’s dangerous   41   most exciting.”

The health and physical condition of the people was,  42  , very necessary. Only those in very good health and physical condition were   43  .

While being trained to be astronauts, they went through many   44  . They studied the star and the moon, and they also studied geology, the science of rocks. This was necessary   45   astronauts would have to look for rocks on the moon. They would try to find rocks which might help to tell the   46   of the moon. They were all   47   to fly in helicopters. There helicopters landed straight down to give them some   48   of the way the spaceship would actually land on the   49  . They were also taught the known facts about the   50   in space. They learnt about all the scientists and engineers who   51   spaceships. They visited the   52  where spaceships were repaired. They learnt how every   53   of a spaceship and its instruments work. They also learnt every detail of ground-control   54  .
