Man has been travelling into space for more than 40 years. Even today though, very few people get the chance to be an astronaut, about 30 persons per year. This is mainly because of the expense（费用）. It costs millions of yuan to train and send astronauts into space. Very few countries can afford this.
This is why American businessman Dennis Tito paid 20000000 US dollars to the Russian Space agency to go into space. He visited the International Space Station. His trip, making him the first ever space tourist, took eight days in total. He spent most of his time taking photos, looking at the earth and listening to music on his once-in-a-lifetime trip.
After landing safely back on the earth, Mr. Tito thought the trip was worth the money. The only difficulty he had was walking but this is normal for anyone who's been in zero gravity（重力，引力）.
Some people, especially in the American space agency, argue that you must be professional to go into space. They worry about the safety of other astronauts. However, Mr. Tito received training before he left. He also helped to prepare food for the others while in space. They told him what to do and where he was allowed to go.
A survey carried out soon after Tito landed showed that 75％ of Americans supported space tourism. Some people are bored of all the places on earth. They are looking for a new adventure and space.
The money Mr. Tito gave the Russians paid for 20％ of their annual budget（年度预算）. If we want to see men on Mars（火星）and other planets, we may need rich people like Tito to help us pay for it. The Russians have more rich people who want to become space tourists. They should take them.
(1)The number of people flying into space so far has reached ________.
[ ]
(2)Why did the Russians want Dennis Tito to go into space?
[ ]
A．They wanted to work with an American.
B．They wanted him to have a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
C．They wanted him to take photos of Earth.
D．They wanted his money.
(3)According to the writer, what is the problem for space tourists?
[ ]
A．People's legs take time to get used to the earth again.
B．They are not safe enough in space.
C．There is not much to do, only take photos and listen to music.
D．Tourists need to learn Russian before they go.
(4)The difference between Mr. Tito and the other astronauts is that ________.
[ ]
A．he could only listen to music
B．only Tito was allowed to cook
C．Tito couldn't go anywhere he liked on the space station
D．Tito had received training before he flew in space
(5)What does the writer think of Dennis Tito?
[ ]
A．He helped Russia keep going into space.
B．He was not a good astronaut.
C．He couldn't help the Russians much.
D．He shouldn't be allowed to travel into space again.
