However, encouraged by his teacher, he tested a way for astronauts to brew(酿造)beer in space. What is even more surpising is that Michal's way of brewing beer will be tested soon in the International Space Station. However, if you think that the young boy came up with the idea of brewing beer because he wants the astronaut。to have fun .think again. Michal believes that perfecting the way of brewing beer in Space is important for future human residents(居民) to have something to drink in space. Michal said that he discovered the magic of beer in a book. So when his teacher asked the class to think of ideas for the Space Science Competition. Michal suggested the beer as a way to help future space residents. Fortunately for him, his teacher thought it was a brilliant idea and instructed him to do research on it with a team of other students. After that, Michal's work was sent to the organizer of the competition. To his excitement, his work was among the 11works which were selected out of the 744 works sent by 3, 900 students from across America. The selected works will be tested in space by astronauts during their next flight. In order to prepare his experiment, Michal will receive a real research mini-laboratory. He will put his ingredients(原料)into a tube. Then the tube will be sent to the International Space Station. When it arrives, the astronauts will combine all the ingredients according to the instructions sent by Michal. Meanwhile, the young boy and his team will do the same experiment on earth and compare the results with those of the astronauts. If the experiment is successful, future space residents may one day have Michal's beer in space.56. Why does Michal have the idea of brewing beer in space? A. To help future space residents.B. To make the astronauts work happily. C. To find a better way of brewing beer.D. To take part in the Space Science Competition.57. According to Paragraph 3, the Space Science Competition _. A. selected 11 works to be tested on earth B. was organized mainly for students of America C. chose brilliant students for science researches D. encouraged teenagers to serve society with their knowledge58. How will Michal's work be tested in apace? A. By the astronauts and Michal. B. By Michal and his team. C. By following Michal's instructions.D. By studying Michal's experiment results.BIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(价钱). From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly(相应地).With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?59. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland _.A. are mostly poorly managedB. provide meals for any dinersC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels60. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B. The workers are always honest with their working hours.C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.61. The word “those” in the last but one paragraph probably refers to _.A. people who are dishonestB. people who often have meals in big hotelsC. people who often take taxisD. people who are worthy of trustCTake Action for a Better World: Volunteers Needed      Six months' preparation in Denmark: Africa studies, team work combined with social work with risk group teenagers.      Six months' community work in Malawi in People to People Projects: Child Aid, HIV / AIDS Fights and Teacher Training.      Qualifications: 18 years, hard working and social engagement.      Please contact us by e-mail: takeaction.Part-time work with Exchange Students      YOUTH International is a non-profit high school foreign exchange student organization.
