Emma was hanging the colorful papers, not really paying attention to where she was placing them. She was a little unhappy. 1 , it was her birthday too and no one in her class had even said happy birthday to her. They were all busy planning the surprise 2 for their teacher Mr. Smith.

Emma had a quick look at the huge card the class had made. It was as long as the blackboard. She knew Mr. Smith would be unhappy if they 6 him presents. So she suggested the class make a card just like he did for them.
“Emma, would you turn off the 7 please?” Ms. Clark said. “I'm going to call Mr. Smith now.” Ms. Clark called Mr. Smith, saying the lights in the 8 had gone out. As soon as Ms. Clark finished the call, Emma looked around the classroom 9 with a sigh (叹气) for another time and turned the lights off.
The door opened and everyone shouted, “ 10 !”
“A surprise party for 11 ?” Mr. Smith asked. He walked over the huge card and said “This is the most beautiful card I've ever 12 . But it makes my birthday card kind of 13 .” Then he turned to Emma and handed her the card. “Happy birthday, Emma. I'm excited that we share the same 14 .”

Passage 1
Many people dream of traveling into outer space. However, spending too much time in space may cause health problems, according to NASA.That's why astronauts shouldn't spend more than six months on the International Space Station(ISS) at a time.
Muscle and boneless
In a weightless environment, astronauts don't need to use their muscles to support themselves. Therefore, their muscles start shrinking(萎缩). To keep their muscles strong, astronauts need to exercise about 2 hours each day on the ISS. The weightless environment also causes astronauts' bones to lose minerals(矿物质), with density(密度) dropping at over 1 percent per month. The rate of bone loss for elderly people on the Earth is 1 to 1.5 percent per year.
Sleep disorder
