A Young Cheese Maker

16﹣year﹣old Pat Tulloch has a different hobby. She makes cheese on the family farm in Australia. She began by making yoghurt （酸奶）with her mother when she was little. Then she started watching her father's workers make cheese. When she was ten, she made some cheese herself for the first time. "It wasn't great at the beginning, " she says, "but the workers told me what I was doing wrong. I tried hard day and night, and I slowly got better.

Pat always needs good milk for her cheese, but she doesn't have to buy it. Her parents keep about 100 cows on their farm. Pat can just ask them when she needs more. Last year, Pat's neighbour gave her a young cow to keep and look after, but it doesn't produce milk to make cheese yet.

Pat helped her family created many kinds of cheese. This year they won a prize for one of them. "Last month we started selling cheese in New Zealand. People there read about our prize in a food magazine. Soon we're going to do some advertisements （广告）, too. "

Pat's next idea is to post some recipes （烹饪法）for cooking with cheese on the Internet such as having cheese with eggs for breakfast. She also thinks that people can eat cheese with pasta （意大利面）. "I hope a restaurant might buy some one day", she says. But right now Pat is still at school.

What is space tourism?

Space tourism is space travel for leisure purposes (休闲目的). What was once only a dream –described in books such as Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey – is now becoming a reality.

Futurologists (未来学家) are scientists who try to predict (预测) what life will be like in the future. After the first man landed on the moon in 1969, they thought that hotels would be built on the moon by the year 2000. Futurologists also considered the possibility that, in the 21st century, families might go for a holiday on the moon. Neither of these predictions have come true yet – but the rapid development of technology may mean these predictions are a possibility in the years to come.

Space Adventures is the only company to send people into space. Space Adventures worked with the Federal Space Agency of the Russian Federation and Rocket and Space Corporation Energia. Each person paid over $20 million for their 10-day trip to the International Space Station.

Following several successful trips into space, more companies are now thinking about the possibility of sending tourists into space. In order to make it cheaper, suborbital (亚轨道的) space travel is a choice for many companies, including Virgin Galactic. Passengers would go to a height of between 100 and 160km above earth, experience 3–6 minutes of weightlessness and a view of the stars, then come back down to earth. This costs about $200, 000 per person.

While it could be an amazing experience, there are some problems with space tourism. Many people believe that it could make global warming (全球变暖) worse and it is not good for the ozone layer (臭氧层). What’s more, space travel is only really for the rich people. There are still millions of people worldwide who couldn’t pay for it.

34. Which book described space tourism?

35. When did the first man land on the moon?

36. Which company can send people into space?

37. What can people do with suborbital space travel?

38. What is your opinion on space travel? And why?
