　　The oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.

　　First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny ballet (芭蕾) dancer. "I'm an inside guy，" Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six­month tour on the International Space Station. "I like to be wrapped up."

　　On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it's just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon­dioxide you exhale (呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible (隐形的) cloud around your head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon­dioxide headache.

　　Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat. "Your inner ear thinks you're falling. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you're standing straight. That can be annoying - that's why some people feel sick." Within a couple of days - truly terrible days for some - astronauts' brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.

　　Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. That's why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronaut healthy. NASA is worried about two things: recovery time once astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round­trip to Mars.

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。在太空中的生活有多神秘？这可能是你想象不到的。本文从不同角度介绍了在太空中生活时你要面对的各种挑战。

　　4．What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?

　　A．Deciding on a proper sleep position.

　　B．Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag.

　　C．Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly.

　　D．Finding a right time to go to sleep.

解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句"Its position presents its own challenges."可知合适的睡觉姿势对于太空中的宇航员是主要的挑战。
