On most space shuttle flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake to watch over the spaceplane; the shuttle’s computers and the engineers at Mission Control do that. If anything goes wrong, the computers ring an alarm and the engineers call us on the radio.
On the space shuttle, sleep-time doesn’t mean nighttime. During each ninety-minute orbit the sun “rises ” and shines through our windows for about fifty minutes; then it “ sets ” as our path takes us around the dark side of the earth. To keep the sun out of our eyes, we wear black sleep masks.
It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space. Every astronaut sleeps differently. Some sleep upside down, some right side up. When it’s time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask, and my tape player with earphones and float up to the flight deck. Then I crawl into the bag, and float in a sitting position just above a seat, right next to a window. Before I pull the mask down over my eyes, I relax for a while, listening to music and watching the Earth go by beneath me.

We learn to read, often with considerable effort, by noticing or being taught that groups of letters stand for the sounds that we already know2to speak.We learn to write, with even greater effort, by learning to form. the letters,3 are symbols of sounds, and to put them together on paper so that others can read what we "say".
Since human language is a form. of human behavior,there is nothing absolute about it.It has 4lowly throughout human history and will continue to develop.In the English language there are perhaps 600,0005, Possibly more, but most of them are know only to specialists and are rarely used.

Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight.A recent research has found a new recipe for success.According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly.Twothirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.
However, it wasn't all sweetness and light.There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes.One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite.For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior.They are learning how to talk in each other's language.It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk“Cat”. What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence.They can learn to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previouslysuspected.Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together,greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.They can easily share the samewater bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.
The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets-to people who don't get along,including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers.If cats and dogs can learn to getalong, surely people have a good chance.
