But he recalls with special fondness a decidedly earthbound 为地球所吸引experience in the summer of 1980，when he p

15、articipated in the NASA-ASEE Summer Faculty Fellowship Program. Voss then a science teacher at West Point，was assigned to the Marshall Space Flight Centers propulsion推进lab in Alabama to analyze why a hydraulic fuel pump on the space shuttle was working so well when previous seals had failed. It was

16、a seemingly tiny problem among the vast complexities of running the space program. Yet it was important to NASA because any crack in the seal could have led to destructive results for the astronauts who relied on them.“I worked a bit with NASA engineers，says Voss，“but I did it mostly by analysis. I

17、used a handheld calculator，not a computer，to do a thermodynamic热力学的analysis.At the end of the summer，he，like the other NASA-ASEE fellows working at Marshall，summarized his findings in a formal presentation and detailed paper. It was a valuable moment for Voss because the ASEE program gave him added

18、understanding of NASA，deepened his desire to fly in space，and intensified his application for astronaut status.It was not an easy process. Voss was actually passed over when he first applied for the astronaut program in 1978. Over the next nine years he reapplied repeatedly，and was finally accepted

19、in 1987. Since then he has participated in three space mission. The 50-year-old Army officer，who fives in Huston，is now in training for a four-month mission as a crew member on the International Space Station starting in July 2000.Voss says the ASEE program is wonderful for all involved.“It brings i

20、n people from the academic world and gives NASA a special property for a particular period of time. It brings some fresh eyes and fresh ideas to NASA，and establishes a link with our colleges and universities，Voss explains，“Theres an exchange of information and an exchange of perspectives that is ver

21、y important.For the academic side，Voss says，the ASEE program also“brings institutions of higher learning more insight into new technology. We give them an opportunity to work on real-world problems and take it back to the classroom.36. Why was the hydraulic fuel pump seal important for the space shu

26、l significance of the program.D. The historical significance of the program.Passage TwoThe current emergency in Mexico City that has taken over our lives is nothing. I could ever have imagined for me or my children. We are living in an environmental crisis，an air-pollution emergency of unprecedented

27、 severity. What it really means is that just to breathe here is to play a dangerous game with your health.As parents，what terrorizes us most are reports that children are at higher risk because they breathe more times per minute. What more can we do to protect them and ourselves？Our pediatricians儿科医

28、师的medical recommendation was simple：abandon the city permanently. We are foreigners and we are among the small minority that can afford to leave. We are here because of my husbands work. We are fascinated by Mexicoits history and rich culture. We know that for us，this is a temporary danger. However，

29、we cannot stand for much longer the fear we feel for our boys. We cannot stop them from breathing.But for millions，there is no choice. Their lives，their jobs，their futures depend on being here. Thousands of Mexicans arrive each day in this city，desperate for economic opportunities. Thousands more ar

30、e born here each day. Entire families work in the streets and practically live there. It is a familiar sight：as parents hawk goods at stoplights，their children play in the grassy highway dividers，breathing exhaust fumes. I feel guilty complaining about my personal situation；we wont be here long enou

31、gh for our children to form the impression that skies are colored only gray.And yet the government cannot do what it must to end this problem. For any country，especially a developing Third World economy like Mexicos，the idea of barring from the capital city enough cars，closing enough factories and s

32、pending the necessary billions on public transportation is simply not an option. So when things get bad，as in the current emergency，Mexico takes half measuresprohibiting some more cars from circulating，stopping some factories from producingthat even its own officials concede arent adequate.The word “emergency implies the unusual. But when daily life itself is an emergency，the concept loses its meaning
