Every morning you get up, wash your face, brush your teeth, eat breakfast and get ready for your day. These daily actions are so common that you don't think about them much. But what if you were in space?
There is no gravity (重力) there, so weights are not as heavy as they are on earth. When you drop something, it doesn't fall to the floor. It floats slowly away in the air. This means that astronauts can't just put down a tool. They need to tie it down.
And how do astronaut drink? In space, water just breaks into small drops and floats in the air. Well, astronauts eat and drink differently in space. They have special place so that their food doesn't float away. They use special bags for drinks so that the drink stays inside.
Sleep is also different in space. Astronauts tie themselves to the wall so that they don't float around when they are sleeping. Since they have to work hard, they need to get plenty of rest.
The sun rises and sets so often that it can be confusing. The astronauts have alarms and sometimes music to wake them up.
Exercise is important for astronauts as well. Since there is no gravity and astronauts float instead of walking or running, their muscles become weak very quickly. They have to exercise on special machines everyday so that this doesn't happen. No one wants to become ill in space and exercise help them stay healthy.
However, it is not all hard work in space. When they are not doing science experiments, writing reports or exercising, there is a little time for fun. They watch movies, read the news and call family members and friends. The astronauts on the International Space Station can even connect to the Internet.

Basketball is a much-loved and active sport that is enjoyed by many for fun and exercise. It is over 100years old and is played by more than 100 million people in over 200 countries. In China, you can sometimes see people playing basketball in parks, schools and even in factories.
Basketball was invented by a Canadian doctor named James Naismith, who was born in 1861. When he was at college, his teacher asked the class to think of a game that can be played in the winter. Dr. Naismith created a game to be played inside on a hard floor. Dr. Naismith divided the men in his class into two teams and taught them to play his new game. The purpose of the game is for players to get a ball into the "basket". Players on the same team must work together to help each other get the ball in the other team's basket. At the same time, they need to stop the competing team from getting the ball into their own basket.
It is believed that on December 21, 1891, the first basketball game in history was played. Then in 1936 in Berlin, it became an event at the Olympics. Today, the popularity of basketball has risen around the world, with many young people dreaming of becoming famous players. Basketball has not only become a popular sport to play, it has also become a more popular sport to watch. Although America's NBA games are the most famous, the CBA games are becoming popular in China. The number of foreign players, including Chinese players, in the NBA has increased. And there are also more and more foreign players in the CBA. Many young people look up to these basketball heroes and want to become like them. These stars encourage 39. them to work hard to achieve their dreams.

"What's going on, Gina?" Mom asked.

"Oh, honey, I'm sorry. I will be pretty upset too if I feel left out. Maybe Jenny knew that you wouldn't like what they were going to do, "Mom suggested. "Why don't you talk with Jenny on Monday?"
"I don't want to talk to her. I her out. "
"Well. . . sometimes ignoring(忽视) another person is a good choice, but I don't think this is the right time to do that. You might lose Jenny as a friend if you make such a choice without talking about it with her, " replied Mom.
"I still want Jenny to be my friend, but talking about it is uncomfortable. I just expect her to know what's wrong and say she's sorry.
"That , but it might not. I really think talking to her about how you feel is the best way. "
"OK, Mom, I will. Thanks, " Gina said.
And guess what? Gina's mom was right! A new snake show day. Jenny knew Gina didn't like snakes, so she didn't invite her.
Gina was glad she had talked to Jenny the problem.
