Exploring a Range of Motions

  By MELENA RYZIK

  Published:March 29,2007

  “FIRST time for fear, second time for fun” is the unofficial motto of this trapeze(吊秋千)and acrobatics(杂技)academy.The brightly colored studio may be short of amenities(no locker room or towels), but it's a place for newcomers who want to overcome their addiction to gravity in small group classes.

  First, there's “ground school” where we learned the proper jumping-off stance(姿势)(hips forward, chest up, one arm extended)and “the trick”:hanging, knees around the bar.

  After a mere 10 minutes of practice on the floor and a low-hanging trapeze, you fasten a rope to your waist and climb a ladder to a platform 18 feet high.Two instructors wait there to walk you through steps.Before you realize you're ready, they call out “Hep!(行进时为使步伐一致的吆喝声)”and you jump.Twenty minutes after class started, I was, to my own surprise, flying through the air upside down and backward.

  Wow! Or “Whoooooo!” as Zoe Muntaner put it her first time.As an experienced skydiver, she also felt shaky.“It's exactly the same fear,” she said.

  The few students got plenty of practice through turns.Randy Kohn, an instructor, told us when to bend our knees and release our arms.At first, the hour-long class seemed more mentally than physically challenging; the only thing that hurt were my palms, though later my upper body ached.But apparently, swinging works your trapezoids(小多角骨), legs and core.“You always have to stay tight for everything, otherwise none of the tricks will work,” Mr.Hedglin said.

  Flying may build strength.But it's the rush that will bring me back.

The space shuttle Discovery has had a long and busy career. For 27 years, it has worked for NASA, carrying astronauts to space and back on 39 missions. On March 9, 2011, after returning from its final voyage, the world’s most traveled spaceship was retired.
A crowd of shuttle workers, reporters and schoolchildren waited to greet Discovery at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Three minutes before noon, they watched as the shuttle appeared in the sky and made one last touchdown. “For the final time: wheels stop,” Discovery’s commander Steven Lindsey said when the shuttle rolled to a stop.
Discovery’s final trip was to the International Space Station (ISS), a giant space lab in the sky. Discovery’s crew took care of the last U.S. construction project at ISS. They delivered 10 tons of supplies for the ISS. The six-person crew also dropped off an unusual companion for ISS’s researchers: a human-like robot named Robonaut 2. Astronauts will assemble(组装)R2 at the ISS over several months.
Now, NASA is winding down its shuttle programme. NASA is to begin work on new spaceships that can travel longer distances. Discovery’s retirement is the first of three. Endeavor, another shuttle, is scheduled to make its final voyage soon. And Atlantis’s last trip is planned for the end of June.
Museums across the country have requested the retired shuttles. The Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum, in Washington, D.C., was the lucky recipient(接收者)of Discovery. The museum’s collection contains hundreds of NASA artifacts.
Where will the other shuttles go? You’ll have to wait to find out. NASA will announce its decision on April 12, the 30th anniversary of the first space shuttle launching. Stay tuned!
【小题1】As part of the final mission, Discovery’s crew___________.

A.carried researches to space
B.assembled the Robonaut 2 at the ISS
C.brought supplies to the ISS
D.went on a spacewalk
【小题2】The underlined phrase “winding down” in Paragraph 4 probably means _________.
A.improvingB.endingC.changingD.testing
【小题3】What can we infer from the text?
A.Discovery completed 39 missions during its two decades of space travel.
B.The ISS is a big project and six researchers live on the station.
C.American space exploration will focus on longer missions.
D.The shuttles Endeavor and Atlantis will make their last missions next month.
【小题4】According to the text, we can learn about ___________.
A.people’s opinions of Discovery’s retirement
B.the government’s concern about the shuttles’ future
C.the shuttles’ final homes after retirement
D.museums’ great interest in the retired shuttles
