27、ld me to wait and see.Some more people came. Two girls asked for one coffee each, paid and went away. Then came three lawyers who paid for seven coffees-three for themselves and four suspended.

28、 in front of the coffee house. Suddenly a poor man like a beggar came into the coffee house, He kindly ordered a suspended coffee and sat there to drink it.At that moment, I knew the meaning of the suspended coffees. It's simple - people pay the coffee in advance (预先) for someone who can't a

Scott Kelly said he could use some more workmates from the earth. “There are people on the

32、ground we expect to meet, Id be nice to have them here, too.” He told over 60 middle school students on November 19th, 2015, when they communicated through a live video chat.The students, who were attending East Sid Middle School in New York City, brought questions for Kelly and his fellow NASA astr

33、onaut Kjell Lindgren. The two space explorers floated on the video screen as they listened to the questions, and occasionally flipped (翻动) their bodies even to show the students the danger of living in a zero-gravity environment.“Floating in space is something you never feel you could get used to.”

34、Lindgren said. “But after you are up here for a month, it feels natural. It's much fun to float.”The students were excited about the program and about asking the astronauts and the other speaker questions about how the astronauts clean the ISS, which freeze-dried foods taste best and the most su

35、rprising things about living on the station.Evan McKiernan asked what it's like to drink water on the station given that human urine (尿) is recycled on the ISS. “We don't think about it too much.” Lindgren said, “In fact, the water tastes great-it tastes like fresh water.” He called the recy

36、cling progress “important technology to have as we think about going on the Mars. We're going to need technology like that so that we needn't bring everything we need with us.”The program included comments (评论) from Jeffrey Kluger, an author at TIME magazine who is good at writing about scie

To talk about some disadvantages of the space trainingDNo one wants to work at a messy desk and look lazy or sloppy. But does a messy desktop actually make you either of those things? Not all di

41、sorders mean you're out of control. Even Steve Jobs thought his personal charm came from his messy desktop.People who prefer a messy desk have their own ideas. Some think it makes them comfortable. A too-tidy room can sometimes make them uncomfortable, because it seems there is no place to rest

42、their feet. Some believe it helps them concentrate more easily. Messy tables can make it easier to focus on the tasks, just like some novelists can write patiently in a noisy cafe. Others may be perfectionists. For those who strive for perfection, tasks are either 100% or 0% performed. Therefore, th

43、ey usually put away the less important things and perform the most important ones perfectly, which leads to paper mountains on the desktop.Many people are labeled as “sloppy” and "inefficient" because of messy tabletops. However, when we see the desks of Albert Einstein, Mark Twain and Mar

45、with new uses for ping-pong balls. Both participants in the messy and clean offices created the same number of ideas. However, those in the messy room came up with more interesting and creative ideas. People who don't keep a neat and tidy desktop can actually develop organizational skills and ma

46、nage work and thoughts successfully, even while swamped in (淹没于) piles of books.notes and documents.In spite of great disorder, a messy desktop presents information clearly, which can sometimes inspire us unconsciously (无意识地). Research has found people working with a messy desktop are more likely to

47、 be creative and willing to take risks, while people with a tidy one tend to follow the rules and are less likely to try new things. Vohs says, “Disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, which can produce fresh insights.”But a messy desk might not be ideal all the time. Whe

48、n you need new ideas, a messy desk might be a good choice; but when you want to be efficient (高效的) and perform a task successfully, it seems better to make a desk clean and tidyNo matter what kind of desk you prefer, we hope you feel comfortable and enjoy it!( )54. The underlined phrase "strive
