Ⅲ.阅读理解
My oldest daughter attends an elementary school in Clear Lake.The walls are decorated with space murals (壁画)．A large model of the International Space Station hangs from the ceiling.Many parents of the kids there work at NASA (美国宇航局)．Astronauts regularly visit.
So I was surprised recently when I looked through a booklet my kid and all her classmates were given as a gift upon completing the second grade school year.It included student names，pictures and a response to the question，“What do you want to be when you grow up？”
Now before getting to the results of the survey，let me say that this is a great school that has done a fine job of raising an interest in science in these kids.I have no complaints about that.But the results were nonetheless surprising.
Here are the 10 most popular answers：“teacher” (15 votes)，“doctor” (14)，“artist” (13)，“athlete” (10)，“vet” (8)，“police officer” (6)，“engineer”(5)，“game creator” (4)，“soldier” (3)，and “scientist”(3)．There
were a lot of other answers that only got two or fewer votes.Among them were “astronaut” (2) and “work at NASA” (2)．Sadly，“journalist” ended up with a big，fat zero.
I have to admit I was pretty surprised by the lack of interest among the kids in a career as an astronaut.In a conversation with Robert Pearlman (founder of CollectSpace) he said he might expect fewer kids to want to be astronauts in Clear Lake，because being an astronaut is not as special here because kids are so familiar with space.
I disagree with that point of view.I view the results above as a sign for what kids are really excited about.And I feel that if children in the heart of Space City don’t con sider being an astronaut as a highly desired profession，then that’s an issue.Is space not exciting？Or is what we’re presently doing in space not exciting？And what can be done to get kids more excited about，and interested in space?
