　　Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport have a difficult decision to make about their children's careers(職業(yè)). Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and women? For many children it means starting very young and schoolwork, going out with friends and other interests have to take second place. It's very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train for five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.

　　Another problem is of course money. Only the very best young sportsmen and women can get some money from the government. In most cases, it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child's training－and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment can all be very expensive.

　　Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles(肌肉) may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional trainers(職業(yè)訓(xùn)練師), however, believe that it is only by starting young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. What is clear is that very few people do reach the top and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.

　　Man has been traveling into space for more than forty years. Even though today, very few people get the chance to be an astronaut, about thirty per year. This is mainly because of the expense. It costs millions of yuan to train and send astronauts into space. Very few countries can afford this.

　　This why American businessman Dennis Tito paid 20000000 US dollars to the Russian space agency to go into space. He visited the International Space Station. His trip making him the first ever space tourist, took eight days in total. He spent most of his time taking photos, looking at earth and listening to music on his once-in-a-lifetime trip.

　　After landing safely back on earth, Mr Tito thought the trip was worth the money. The only difficulty he had was walking but this is normal for anyone who's been in zero gravity.

　　Some people especially in the American space agency, argue that you must be professional to go into space. They worried about the safety of other astronauts. However, Mr Tito received training before he left. He also helped to prepare food for the others while in space. They told him what to do and where he was allowed to go.

　　A survey carried out soon after Tito landed showed that seventy-five percent of American supported space tourism. Some people are bored of all the places on the earth. They are looking for a new adventure and space is the place.

　　The money Mr Tito gave the Russians paid for twenty percent of their annual budget. If we want to see men on Mars and other planets, we may need rich people like Mr Tito to help us pay for it. The Russians have more rich people who want to become space tourists. They should take them.

l．How many people have flown in space?

[　　]

A．About thirty.

3．The differences between Mr Tito and the other astronauts ________.

[　　]

A．none

B．only Tito was allowed to cook

C．Tito couldn't go everywhere on the space station

D．Tito received training before he flew in space

4．What does the writer think about Dennis Tito?

[　　]

A．He helped Russia keep going into space.

B．He was not a good astronaut.

C．He couldn't help the Russians much.

D．He shouldn't be allowed into space again.

5．The writer thinks the problem for space tourists is ________.
