We're waiting to take trips to outer space. When will it happen? According to individuals in the growing field of space tourism, it may be in five or fifty years.
Space Adventures is taking ____55____ for the flights, similar to the first manned spaceflights. The trip will cost $ 90,000, with a $ 6,000 deposit required. More than 200 people have made reservations, said Sarah,
John Spencer of the Space Tourism Society says that a more realistic ____56____ for regular space travel is 50 years. Issues of expense, difficulty, and danger must still be resolved. Oh yes --- a reusable vehicle must ____57____ be invented. He adds, however, that ten years from now, a ____58____ number of people may be able to visit a space station. He says he expects a fleet of private space vehicles or “space yachts (快艇)” to be in ____59____ in 20 to 25 years. They will do what he calls “orbital super yachting.” After that, there will be cruise lines, like those that travel the Earth's oceans, as well as space hotels and resorts.
There have been only a few studies to determine the public's interest in space tourism, but they all conclude that a ____60____ of people would like to visit space and would be willing to pay good money for it.
According to expert Patrick Collins, between 5 million and 20 million people will head for space by 2030. He also ____61____ 100 flights a day leaving Earth. It would be ____62____ to have more than 100 hotels in Earth's orbit, a few more orbiting the moon, and a few on the moon's surface. These hotels would ____63____ more than 100,000 people, who would work month-long shifts. Each hotel would have a service station. Such service stations would provide oxygen, water, and hydrogen. They might also ship environmentally safe electric power back to Earth. If all the issues can be resolved, Collins says that space tourism could one day become a $1 trillion industry.

On March 17 the color green will spread all around the world in celebration of St Patrick’s Day. The Irish traditionally wear something green on this day, as the color is 41 Ireland. Another St Patrick’s Day tradition is for the non-Irish to 42 about the Irish.
Usually these jokes will be about Irish stupidity, their famous 43 alcohol, or their reputation for telling tall tales.
These characteristics are all based on the most common Irish stereotypes (成見) that the Irish are hot-tempered drinkers who love to fight and will do anything to avoid a day’s work.
The real joke, however, is that these negative Irish stereotypes still exist. These stereotypes may have gone back to the 19th century when they started, but they’re far from 44 today -– with the exception, perhaps of the drinking.
Today, the Irish are admired for their storytelling ability, musical talent and strong education. It’s no accident that several of the greatest writers of the 20th century were Irish. Or that many of the most famous music acts of all time, such as singer Enya and rock band U2, were Irish born and bred.
So where did the 45 Irish stereotypes come from? They can be traced back to the 19th century, which was a very bad time to be Irish.
At that time, Ireland was poverty-stricken and starving. Many Irish moved to the US to escape famine, but there they had to 46 occasionally with their fists for jobs and housing with other immigrant groups. It was on the US’ streets that the Irish 47 for street fighting.
However, one bit of the Irish stereotype is still true, their love of drink. Drinking in Ireland is a predilection (偏好), but it’s not 48 something to criticize. It was the Irish 49 who created one of the world’s best-loved beers – Guinness.
