In the city of Fujisawa, Japan, lives a woman Atsuko Saeki. When she was a girl, she dreamed of going to
. Most of what she knew about American life she had read in the textbook. At the age of 18, she
to go to college in New York. When she arrived, however, it was not the dream world she had imagined. “People were troubled with
and often seemed unhappy and too busy,” she said. “I felt very lonely.”
One of her most difficult
was PE. One afternoon, the coach asked Atsuko to pass the ball to her teammates so they could knock it over the net. It isn’t difficult for most people,
it terrified（使......害怕） Atsuko. She was afraid of failing（失败）, and
would laugh at her.
A young man on her team seemed to understand
she was worried about. He stood up slowly and then
to her and whispered（低声说）, “Come on. You can do that.” “You will
understand how those words of encouragement made me feel. Four words: You can do that. I felt like crying with happiness.” She made it
the class. She couldn’t remember if she had thanked him.
“I haven’t
the words,” she said. “When things are not going well, I think of them.” She is sure the young man had no idea how much his
meant to her. “ He
even forget it,” she said which may be the lesson. Whenever you say
to a person--cruel（残酷的）or kind, you have no idea how long the words will stay with them. Six years have passed, Atsuko is 27 years old and back in Japan. But
she hears those four simple words: You can do that.

阅读理解Attention, please. NASA is looking for funny astronauts! This is not a joke.NASA wants to send astronauts to Mars in 2030. But the journey to Mars will be long and boring. Astronauts will have to live on their spaceship for about two years. So the team needs funny astronauts. They can help their teammates get along and do their jobs better. Scientists have looked at examples from the past. Roald Amundsen was from Norway. He became the first person to reach the South Pole in 1911. He had a cook on his team. The cook was the “clown（小丑）” of their team. He could not only cook delicious food but also tell jokes. He cheered them up when things were hard. The cook was the most important member of the team. He made their life much more colourful, Amundsen said in his diary.Of course, being funny is not enough. The astronauts should also know a lot about space. They also have to take hard training. Only you pass the physical（身体的） tests, can you become a member of them.According to the passage, __________ astronauts are wanted by NASA.
