What do you do when nobody is around to take your picture？You take a selfie （拍照） .But what about selfies in space？On Twitter last year，NASA astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin，who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July 1969，laid claim to a spaceflight first taking the first selfie in space during the Gemini XII mission in 1966.
"For me，it needs to be digital to be selfie，" argues Jennifer Levasseur，who is in charge of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.According to Levasseur，the concept of a selfie is directly linked to Internet culture and human desire to interact on social platforms. "The thing that makes a selfie is sharing it，" she says.
Still，astronauts have been carrying cameras abroad space vehicles since the 1960s ，and they've taken plenty of pictures of themselves along the way.Astronauts had to pull the film magazines out and leave their cameras behind when they returned to Earth because early space missions were restricted by a conservative weight limit on the return trip.
A big change in space camera technology came after sad loss of the space shuttle Columbia who broke apart on its return to Earth in 2003. "Fearing that they would never be able to bring the film back from space and lose all that hard work celebrated the push for digital." Levasseur says.
Today astronauts can have access to the Internet and social platforms in space and post true based selfies taken by digital cameras.Taking selfies and sharing them on social media is a way that astronauts in space can participate in the same activities people on Earth do every day.The first astronaut selfie that went viral（網(wǎng)紅的） on the internet was one by Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide in 2012.

2．Paws walk across my keyboard.jye.ai my cat Monty lies on my lap，unaware of the world beyond our garden fence.In these uncertain times of the pandemic，the company of animals is needed more than ever.To the joy of our cats，dogs and all pets in between，staying at home is an opportunity to give them our undivided（一心一意的）attention.In return，they provide us with a much-needed source of happiness.
Pet ownership is well known to help settle anxiety，reduce loneliness and lift moods.Even as we spend an unprecedented（空前的）amount of time in isolation（隔離），pets are still acting as channels to building a sense of community as people share pictures of their beloved companions（伙伴）online in an effort to raise spirits.
It is in such times that we realize just how much our pets matter as part of the family.As a long-term cat lady，I have never questioned that a pet is a precious member of the household.Our pets can be as valuable as our human family members in teaching us about ourselves and how to approach the world.In short，our animals' love and loyalty are unique.
As such，the death of a pet can feel as sad as that of a close friend or family member.The grief（悲痛） remains something that is often seen as shameful.jye.ai many admit to demanding time off work without being honest about why.However，with the loss of a pet comes an emptiness where their unconditional love once was，and moments in the day once dedicated to their care become suddenly unoccupied.
Vet（獸醫(yī)）and author James Herriot wrote. "If having a soul（靈魂） means being able to feel love，loyalty and thankfulness，animals are better off than a lot of humans. " Pets are an additional member of the family，and now more than ever.jye.ai can serve as models for the kind of basic humanity we ought to be extending to an unstable world.

（2）What does the author think pets mean to humans？
A．They are as precious as our family members.
B．They are only secondary to family members.
C．They are more like teachers than friends.
D．They help us take care of our family.
（3）Why do people lie when requesting time off after the death of a pet？
A．They feel puzzled about its death.
B．They consider it a private family thing.
C．They are annoyed by the feeling of emptiness.
D．They feel embarrassed about their sadness over it.
（4）What does James Herriot imply in the last paragraph？
A．Pets can teach us to be better humans.
B．Pets need more attention now than ever.

3．How to lower costs and improve the living quality？ There are numerous products posted on social media，and you might believe an electric toothbrush，Luna facial cleaning massager，a flight ticket to Phuket and so on will bring you a better life.But for many graduates or those who have worked for only one or two years，your income cannot keep pace with expense.（1）
Here's how：
Keep running or doing yoga
It seems to be a challenge to afford a fitness center costing over 10，000 yuan in annual fees or for a personal trainer.But you can buy a pair of sneakers or a yoga mat instead.Running in a park regularly or doing yoga at home using free online resources is definitely a type of quality life. （2）
Go to museums or libraries
Chasing young good-looking stars，watching their films and buying expensive tickets for their concerts are popular with many young people.（3）You seem to fail to take into account a variety of exhibitions and resources updated frequently in major cities.Why not have a try？What you need to do is to choose themes that you are interested in，make an online appointment in advance and then enjoy your weekend.
（4）
For some young people，the easy and instant access and the discount codes of online shopping make it an addictive draw.Sometimes what you buy online is not what you really need and the demands are created by the producers.For example，many buy new clothing and they don't wear.
（5）Money is not the only thing that can drive your quality of living，but your optimistic attitude towards life and self-disciplined way of life are.A.Stop over-spending online
B.Limit your shopping spending
C.So，how can we save some money and improve quality of life？
D.Making money and saving money are not the final goal of life.
E.To live a quality life requires more self-discipline than money.
F.However，this would do little to enrich your spiritual life and add to economic burdens.
G.Exercise is more rewarding than holding a membership card at an expensive fitness club.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 16:30:1組卷：21引用：5難度：0.5
