These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. _56_. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to make your dreams come true? 6 Follow Your Heart by an Australian writer Andrew Mathews tells us that making our dreams come true is lifes biggest challenge. In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. _57_. Remember it and achieve it step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams. You must also never give up your dream. _58_.

These kinds of thoughts stop you from achieving your dream, the book says. _59_.

They became the first humans to eat food that was grown completely in space. The lettuce was planted in a small greenhouse called“Veggie” on the ISS, which uses LED lights to help plants grow in space. First, the astronauts cleaned the lettuce with special material and then ate it with some salad dressing. “It was one small bite for man, one giant leap(飞跃) for our journey to Mars,” one astronaut Scott Kelly later posted on social media. Space vegetables are a part of the NASA experiment called“Veg-01”, a study on how plants grow away from the effects of Earths gravity(引力). It will allow astronauts to grow and eat their own food during long space journey. “If we are ever going to Mars someday, were going to need a spacecraft that is much more 7 self-sustainable(自给自足) in its food supply,” said Kelly. Growing fresh plants on a spacecraft may also provide oxygen(氧气) and help keep astronauts alive, NASA said. “Veg-01” started in May 2014. The first batch( 批) of vegetables took 33 days to grow in space before they were taken back to Earth for a safety check. After making sure it was safe to eat, astronauts planted a second catch on July 8. They let the plant grow fresh another 33 days and were then able to eat it. Astronauts usually only get some fruit and vegetables when a supply ship comes to the ISS. Now with the vegetables grown in space, they can eat whenever they want. 60. Who became the first humans to eat food that was grown completely in space? _ 61. Where were the space vegetables planted? _ 62. What does the NASA experiment“Veg-01” study? _ 63. Besides providing food, what else are the fresh plants grown in space expected to do? _ 64. Why were the first batch of vegetables grown in space taken back to Earth? _ . . 写作技能写作技能 ( (共三节，计共三节，计 3232 分分) ) 第一节 语篇翻译(共 5 小题，计 10 分) 阅读下面的短文，然后将画线部分的句子译成汉语或英语。 One day, a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas.
