But does that mean youll never get the chance to work in space? Not necessarily. In fact, some of the space jobs are not only for astronauts and they all sound just as cool.One of the most interesting space jobs that you may have never heard of is chief sniffer (嗅探员). NASA has already hired a chief sniffer named George Aldrich, whose job is to smell materials and components before they are used in spacecrafts (航天器).Using your nose at work might sound a little strange, but the job is actually important. A spacecraft is of small size and high temperature, which makes smells stronger inside of it. And once a spacecraft is launched, astronauts have no way of escaping unpleasant smells, Aldrich told The Telegraph. More importantly, smelling objects can help identify dangerous chemicals (化学物质) that could threaten astronauts health.Another job, the space tour guide, may seem a little ahead of its time after all, whats the point of hiring a tour guide when there arent any tourists there? But now, many private companies are starting to provide space trips, and wealthy space lover such as Justin Bieber and Sarah Bright man have already signed up for tours. It may not be long before space becomes one of the top travel destinations for Earthlings.Being a space tour guide requires rich knowledge of astronomy (天文学), astrophysics (天体物理学), geography and history to help passengers get the most out of their journey. Tour guides also need to be excellent storytellers so that passengers can experience the true beauty of space travel.Astronauts often spend weeks or even months in a small capsule (太空舱) with the same group of people, which is why a space psychologist is also needed to help astronauts overcome mental challenges, like feeling bored and lonely.Were crossing the boundaries (界限) between science fiction and reality, said Rohit Talwar, chief executive of US company Fast Future Research. Things weve seen in the past in movies are now becoming real career opportunities.（1）How many cool and new space jobs are mentioned in the passage? A . Two.B . Three.C . Four.D . Five.（2）What does the article mainly discuss? A . How science fiction becomes reality.B . The possibility of space travel for common people.C . Career opportunities that you shouldnt miss.D . Cool jobs in space other than being an astronaut.（3）According to the article, George Aldrichs job at NASA is mainly about _. A . measuring the size and temperature of spacecraftsB . keeping astronauts safe from things that have unpleasant smellsC . cheering astronauts up with excellent storiesD . cleaning up dangerous chemicals that are found in spacecrafts（4）What is Rohit Talwars attitude toward new job opportunities in space? A . Worried.B . Doubtful.C . Pleased.D . Negative.4. （10分）阅读理解 Im a Chinese student studying in Canada.
