         We're waiting to take trips to outer space. When will it happen? According to individuals in the growing field of space tourism, it may be in five or fifty years.

         Space Adventures is taking ____55____ for the flights, similar to the first manned spaceflights. The trip will cost $ 90,000, with a $ 6,000 deposit required.  More than 200 people have made reservations, said Sarah, Dalton, the company spokeswoman.

         John Spencer of the Space Tourism Society says that a more realistic ____56____ for regular space travel is 50 years. Issues of expense, difficulty, and danger must still be resolved. Oh yes --- a reusable vehicle must ____57____ be invented.  He adds, however, that ten years from now, a ____58____ number of people may be able to visit a space station. He says he expects a fleet of private space vehicles or “space yachts (快艇)” to be in ____59____ in 20 to 25 years. They will do what he calls “orbital super yachting.” After that, there will be cruise lines, like those that travel the Earth's oceans, as well as space hotels and resorts.

         There have been only a few studies to determine the public's interest in space tourism, but they all conclude that a ____60____ of people would like to visit space and would be willing to pay good money for it.

         According to expert Patrick Collins, between 5 million and 20 million people will head for space by 2030. He also ____61____ 100 flights a day leaving Earth. It would be ____62____ to have more than 100 hotels in Earth's orbit, a few more orbiting the moon, and a few on the moon's surface. These hotels would ____63____ more than 100,000 people, who would work month-long shifts. Each hotel would have a service station. Such service stations would provide oxygen, water, and hydrogen. They might also ship environmentally safe electric power back to Earth. If all the issues can be resolved, Collins says that space tourism could one day become a $1 trillion industry.

    Astronauts’ meals have come a long way from the free-dried powders and semi—liquid pastes of decades ago，now US scientists want to grow vegetables in mini—greenhouses on the moon．

       Scientists say they are looking forward to a time when residents of future lunar or even Martian outsteps will be able to dine on fresh vegetables．Paragon Space Development Corporation has unveiled what it called the first step toward growing flowers——and eventually food on the moon．

       This is a sealed greenhouse that looks like a bell jar encased in a 46-cm triangular aluminiumframe．It is designed to safely land a laboratory plant on the lunar surface，and protect it while it grows．

       The miniature greenhouse is to be launched into space by Odyssey Moon Ltd, a participant in the Google Lunar X Prize. This competition offers $21 million to any entrant who can launch, land and operate a rover on the lunar surface.

       Paragon officials say future testing of the “Lunar Oasis” will be driven by Odyssey’s flight Schedule, which will not happen until 2012 at the earliest．

       When it does lift off the greenhouse will contain the seeds of Brassica, a hardy plant related to Brussels sprouts and cabbage. Because Brassica goes from seed to flower in just 14 days, it can complete its life cycle in a single lunar night.

       “Colonizing the Moon or Mars seems so far away，but it is important that we do this research now. ”Paragon president Jane Poynter said．

       “It takes a long time to get a lot of research, and to get integrated, reliable efficient systems before colonists move in. ”she said．

    The article is written mainly to__________．

        A. predict the astronauts’ meals in the future

        B. introduce an experiment “Lunar Oasis’’

        C. tell us the future development of astronomy

        D. focus on the human’s great progress

    The article implies that__________．

        A. astronauts can grow flowers in space at present

        B. Paragon and NASA will carry out the test separately

        C. Lunar Oasis is a series of experiments carried out in space

        D. the earliest testing of the Lunar Oasis may be in 2012

    The underlined word “colonists” in the last paragraph probably has the meaning of______．

        A. plants    B. wild beasts    C. human beings      D. scientists

    The seeds of Brassica will be contained in the greenhouse mainly because _________.

        A. their life cycle is much shorter

        B. they are more nutritious than other food

        C. they are related to Brussels sprouts and cabbage

        D. they are very delicious
