e they prohibited cigarette ads from American television. Darrell Winfield was watching the crew set up the equipment.

Someone from the crew saw Winfield and asked him if he would ride the horse for 50 dollars. "Hello," said Winfield, "for 50 bucks, I'll jump that damn horse over the moon!"

To people in many countries, Winfield is just a familiar but nameless face, a simple cowboy with an advertising message about a connection between the West and a brand of cigarettes.

hen we are working, we leave the bags tied to the wall, out of the way. At bedtime we untie them and take them wherever we’ve chosen to sleep.

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.

36、When it’s bedtime, astronauts pull their sleeping bags ________ .

A.near the windows

This evening I met a friend at a local bar. She brought her laptop {along; around; forward} so she could show me some of her latest digital art designs. As we looked through her artwork, the laptop suddenly started making an unhealthy noise, then the screen twinkled on and off and then cut off {normally; completely; suddenly}. And as we both stared at one another surprisingly, the terrible smell of fried computer circuits appeared.

I grabbed the laptop off the bar to inspect it and the problem instantly arose itself. The bottom of the laptop was completely wet and empty, spilt water glass rested against the side of her purse just behind where the laptop was sitting. While we were chatting and shifting the laptop's 17 inch screen {up and down; back and forth; in and out}, we somehow spilt a glass of water that the waiter had inadvertently (无意地) placed behind the screen, which was out of our view.

When life throws id some troubles like this, it typically doesn't make any sense to us, and our natural emotional reaction might get extremely {upset; excited; surprised} at the top of our lungs. But how does this help our dilemma？ Obviously, it doesn't.

The smartest and hardest thing we can do in these kinds of situations is to be more tempered in our reaction. You'd be much wiser and more disciplined than scream extremely. You should remember that emotional rage only makes matters worse. And please remember that once it happens, that will give us an opportunity to grow stronger.

Every difficult moment in our lives is accompanied by an opportunity for personal growth and {creativity; respect; activity}. But in order to attain this growth and creativity.

We must first learn to control our emotions. We must recognize that difficulties pass like everything in our life.

（英译汉）When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible--and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns.

So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself. Talk a couple of deep breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don't wait for an apology(道歉 ). Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Try to see thing from the other person's perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear--even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from that person's point of view.
