Being alone in outer space can be frightening.That is one reason why astronauts on solo (单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them21.They were also in constant communication with people on the earth.22,being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone.This is what happens on long submarine (潜水艇) voyages.It will also happen on23space flights in the future.Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?
Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages.They have found that the longer the voyage lasts,the more serious the problem of24is.When men are25together for a long period,they begin to feel uneasy.Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable.In the limited space over a long period of time,however,these little habits may become very26.

Directions：Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them mere are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
I believe that my country,Poland,is a perfect example for a place where food is particularly important.When we were little children,we began to understand how much a loaf of bread meant to our parents—to some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before you started cutting it was simply amazing.Its not so common nowadays to treat food that way,since you hardly ever bake your own bread.Besides,everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them! But though we no longer make our food from scratch (起点),some customs have been kept—thats why I feel so sorry every time I have to throw any food away—even though I no longer live with my parents and nobody would blame me for this anymore!
Many people of our nation are still working as farmers,eating what they grow and harvest and therefore enjoying everything more.Its widely known that you value more anything that needs your effort in the first place.In most homes in Poland,especially those of farmers,the whole family would try and have their meals together—extremely difficult now,but so rewarding (值得)! You can share other members troubles and successes,give your children some attention,or just sit down for a moment instead of rushing through life aimlessly.Furthermore,your body,and stomach in particular will be very grateful (感激) for such a time!
In Poland,a wedding,Christmas or even a birthday is celebrated with a great meal.Women in the house get together and cook,sometimes for a few days before the event,and the extremely good or unusual food will be remembered and widely talked about.
You cannot overvalue the importance of food in the country.Whats more,almost everyone in Poland will be as interested in the topic as I am.
