Task 3. Read the text and fill in the parts of the sentences given below.
To design spacesuits, vehicles and habitats with enough shielding to keep astronauts safe, scientists need to know 14_____________. They can estimate this radiation dose using computer models, but a computer model and real – life can be two widely different things. Until now, researchers weren’t sure 15___________.
That’s where the Phantom Torso comes in. He’s an armless, legless, human – shaped mannequin 16_______________. Scientists call him Matroshka, and like his NASA counterpart Fred, this mannequin is an intrepid space traveller.
Matroshka’s plastic body is loaded with over 400 dosimeter sensors 17__________. The sensors are placed in the location of vital human organs. All the data collected is being used by scientists to verify the accuracy of computer models used to predict the safety of space missions for human astronauts.
The Phantom Torso has become a regular sight on the International Space Station over the last four months but now the limbless mummy – like humanoid is back home again. The Phantom Torso has provided the real – world test needed to prove 18_________________. They’re accurate to within ten percent of the measured dose. That means these models can be used to plan NASA’s return to the Moon or even a trip to Mars.
Lessons learned from Fred and Matroshka have major implications for NASA’s plans to set up a manned outpost on the Moon and eventually to send people to Mars. Protecting astronauts from the harmful effects of space radiation will be critical challenge for these extended missions.
Now that the Phantom Torso has spent four months on the International Space Station, scientists are learning about the space radiation 19__________________. The results obtained from this experiment could help in the development of countermeasures to the effect of cosmic radiation experienced by astronauts.
1. that Matroshka endured
2. how much radiation astronauts actually absorb
3. which collect data from galactic cosmic rays and other radiation sources in space
|

|
4. whether their models accurately predicted the radiation dose astronauts experience in space
5. that looks like he’s wrapped in a mummy’s bandages
6. what to do with him
7. that the models used by scientists are essentially correct
Task 4. Read the text and make the right choice.
So far there are only two ways to get into space – you either have to be an astronaut or very rich. Countries such as Russia and the USA have space programs, but you need to be highly qualified and very determined if you want to become an astronaut. Only a few of the thousands of applicants make it through the training and selection program. Alternatively, if you have the money and are fit enough, you may be able to buy a place on the space journey, as the US millionaire, Mike Melwill did in 2004. But soon there may be another way.
Asif Mahsood is a 14-year old Pakistani with big plans. He dreams of getting a job in space, but hopes he doesn’t need to become an astronaut. And the idea is not so fantastic. Many experts believe that the travel industry will be revolutionized during the next decades by the development of space holidays.
Most people know about the space stations that are already circling the Earth. They are used for research and are operated by professional astronauts. But soon a space station could be built for commercial purposes. A holiday in space would not be cheap, but there are probably already plenty of people who would be prepared to pay.
This is where Asif’s dream comes in. he wants to be the manager of the world’s first orbiting hotel. It is likely that rocket ships will provide the transport. They could be launched from the Earth’s surface, or even from a carrier aircraft high in the atmosphere. The space hotel will be designed with a landing platform for the rocket ship. The passengers could then move into the hotel through a large tube connected to the hotel entrance. This would be necessary because there is no gravity in space. However, inside the space hotel there would need to be a system creating artificial gravity, so that guests could move around normally.

Naturally, if hotels are built in space, there will also be new jobs in space. Guests will need all the normal services found in a hotel on Earth, but there will also be so new possibilities. For example, all sorts of recreation activities could be designed to take advantage of the zero gravity conditions in space. Being able to float around a room, bounce off the walls and ceiling would be very attractive for tourists looking for a new experience. Games of three – dimensional football, basketball or volleyball would certainly be very interesting. The hotel would also have telescopes to look out at the universe, and to look back at the Earth below.
A space hotel will need to have other facilities that are not necessary in normal hotels. It would be more like a small city in some ways, with its own hospital, communication system, police force and fire department.
In the meantime, Asif is going to keep studying hard at school so that he can find a job working in one of the big international hotels in Lahore or Karachi. He wants to qualify in hotel management and continue to study business administration. The hotels are much the same, so Asif believes that the best preparation for a job in space will be gaining plenty of experience working in Earth hotels.
The whole idea of hotels in space may sound a little like science fiction, but 30 years ago technology such as mobile video phones and the Internet seemed to be just a crazy dream, whereas today they are a normal part of everyday life, and it is hard to imagine our world without them.
