The people on the ground like keeping us busy working. But the doctors say astronauts (宇航员)should have to give them some free time in the space station.
The first thing astronauts usually do is the simple act of looking out of the window. They have the greatest view of Earth. They orbit the Earth once every ninety minutes, so there is always a new thing to look at. They talk about the colors and shapes, the lightning, and just how beautiful the Earth is. They have lessons on taking photos before their flight and many of them really take to it and put thousands of photos of the Earth on the internet.
Astronauts are away from family and friends for six months, so keeping in touch with the people on Earth by email, phone, or video is an important thing for their non-working hours. Even some astronauts play chess with people on the ground by radio or email.
Music is important to many astronauts. An astronaut is more likely than any other person to be good at playing instruments such as guitars and violins. They may have a music show just in the space station.

I received a letter from my Aunt Lorraine a while age. It was a handwritten letter thanking me for some Shanghai cookies I’d sent her. Aunt Lorraine is ninety-one years old and she has wonderful manners, which is why she sent me the “thank you” letter. She also has wonderful handwriting. Her penmanship is smooth and flowing with each individual letter and word perfectly formed. She is a pleasure to read.
Aunt Lorraine was educated at a time when penmanship was considered an important skill. Today, in this age of e-mail and text messaging, few people have the time or incline to write letters or practice their penmanship. This is unfortunate, but good penmanship is still important, especially in school. If you want to get good grades on your essays, neatness counts. Your essay might be full of good ideas but messy handwriting can turn an A into a B. And illegible handwriting can get you a D.
Good penmanship has other benefits, too. Since it’s a skill, it trains your brain and develops your learning abilities. It also helps you to organize your thoughts and ideas. And, believe it or not, that slow process of pushing a pen long paper improves your reading, spelling and even your pronunciation of English.
Apart from (除了) all these educational benefits, good penmanship also has personal benefits. A neatly written letter to a friend is something they will treasure forever. A letter that looks as if a chicken had danced across the paper will be quickly tossed. I’ve kept the letter from my Aunt Lorraine, it’s a treasure!

A. Shanghai cookies B. Shanghai gifts
C. the map of Shanghai D. a flower
