But the space station has been designed to keep the astronauts as comfortable as possiblethe modules(舱) are roomy，bright，and kept at a constant 21C. Its important the crew members are comfortable because theyll be busy aboard the station. In a typical workday，crew members will spend 14 hours working and exercising, 1.5 hours preparing and eating meals，and 8.5 hours sleeping. Here are some other fun facts about life aboard the station：FoodFoodCome mealtime, astronauts will have a special dining kitchen. Space food just keeps getting betterand more like food we enjoy here on Earth. In early space missions, astronauts could eat only freeze-dried food that didnt require any preparation. But the space station is equipped with water, microwave ovens, and refrigerators, allowing the folks on board to eat more “normal” types of food, including fruit, vegetables, and ice cream!SleepSleepEach crew member has a private room. With no gravity, theyll need to tie themselves to their beds, or they will float away！That might sound like a strange way to sleep, but astronauts from past space missions report that sleeping in space is actually pretty great!ExerciseExercise- 2 -You might not think it, but exercise is even more important on the station than it is on Earth. There is not much gravity in space. Astronauts dont stand up, sit down or walk in space, so their muscles and bones dont have to work muchand this muscle and bone loss can be dangerous back on Earth. To fight this, astronauts on the station will exercise on bikes, rowing machines, and other equipment about two hours every day.ClothingClothingAstronauts will have to wear special space suits while traveling aboard the U.S. shuttle or Russian rockets. But once theyre safe inside the space station, crew members can wear regular clothing. Of course, a specially designed pressurized space suit is required for space walks. It has to bear flying pieces and protect the astronauts from dramatic temperature changes. It can range from -84 C in the shadow of the station to 121C in the hot sun.PersonalPersonal CleanlinessCleanlinessSimple tasks like brushing your teeth can be challenging in a weightless environment. A little water doesnt flow in a stream. Astronauts will use a freshwater hose(软管) to take showers, shampoo，and wash offthen a second vacuum hose to suction(吸) off the dirty water. And how do you go to the bathroom in space? With a special “air toilet” that uses flowing air instead of water to get rid of waste.21.

You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesnt. Here is another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.A craving is more complex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. Be
