Just an ordinary day?
In 1990, Dr Ron Parise was one of a team of astronauts who went on a nine-day mission that took them round the Earth 143 times. Dr Parise describes life on board the space shuttle Columbia.
'Living and working in zero gravity is OK. It's quite nice floating around, but you have to fix your feet into position while you're working so that you don't float off.
But it wasn't all work. There was lots of time for serious things like standing on the ceiling and holding each other up with one finger. One of our favourite games was throwing and catching sweets and blowing water at each other.
There are some problems with living in space. For example, it's pretty difficult to eat chips or spaghetti. Food is freeze-dried and kept in sealed boxes. It's not bad, but you know you're not going into space to eat gourmet meals. It's also a bit like hospital because you have to choose all your meals beforehand.
Обычный день?
В 1990 году Д-р Рон Парис был одним из экипажа астронавтов, совершивших девятидневный полет, во время которого они облетели вокруг Земли 143 раза. Д-р Парис описывает жизнь на борту космического корабля "Коламбия".
'Жизнь и работа в невесомости - O.K. Приятно плавать вокруг, но вам необходимо зафиксировать ноги во время работы так, чтобы не выплыть.
Но это не вся работа. Много раз случались такие серьезные вещи, как стойка (стояние) на потолке и поддерживание друг друга одним пальцем. Одной из любимых игр было бросание и поимка конфет и поливание друг друга водой.
Жизнь в космосе имеет несколько проблем. Например, достаточно трудно кушать чипсы или спагетти. Пища сублимированная и содержится в запечатанных коробках. Это неплохо, но вы знаете, что вы летите в космос не для того, чтобы есть пищу гурмана. Это также напоминает больницу, так как вы должны выбрать все блюда заранее.
Task 5. Go on translating the text.
Cleaning your teeth is a problem. You can't brush your teeth with your mouth open because it's a very messy job. If you spill anything in the shuttle, you have to catch it in a cloth otherwise it just keeps floating around.
Use these words
hours off часы отдыха
hard work напряженная работа
compartment отсек (отделение)
Exercise 9. Answer these questions.
1. Is it difficult to live and work in zero gravity?
2. Why do astronauts have to fix their feet while working?
3. What serious things do people face in zero gravity?
4 Are there any problems with eating in space? What are they?
5. Do astronauts eat usual meals?
6. Do astronauts have to work hard? What is their time-table (расписание)?
7. How can you rest in space?
8. Are sleeping places in space like those on the Earth?
Task 6. Try to translate into English.
Астронавты напряженно работают 12 часов и затем 12 часов отдыхают. Вы должны отдыхать в своей постели даже если вы не спите. Каждый спальный отсек очень узкий и закрыт как длинный шкаф. Он расположен вертикально или горизонтально, в зависимости от того, что вы считаете верхом!'

The well-Known singer Enrico Caruso was once driving not far from New York, It so happened that something went wrong with his car and he had to spend some time in the house of a farmer. Soon they became friendly and the farmer asked Caruso his name.
When the farmer heard the name, he rose to his feet. "Oh, I've never thought I should see a man like you in my kitchen, sir", he cried out. "Caruso. The great traveller, Robinson Caruso!"
