You have probably heard about the unappealing dried foods that astronauts eat in space, such as the chalky ice cream and powdered pea soup. That means all the water is removed from those foods. But did you know that there are more than 90 different food and drink items on NASA’s space menu? ( NASA is the American government organization concerned with spacecraft and space travel. NASA is an abbreviation for “ National Aeronautics and Space Administration”)
	Many food items are dehydrated to prevent bacteria growing, so water must be added before consumption. But some foods look like those ready meals you find in the supermarkets, made hot in the microwave. In fact, the chefs have recently provided some gorgeous meals for the space crew. Astronauts choose their individual food selections on Earth, getting to taste it all first beforehand.
	Drinking is another matter. Although much is brought up with the astronauts and in cargo deliveries, a lot is recycled from human waste water. Yes, the water they use could have been someone else’s urine a day ago. You cannot be squeamish if you are an astronaut!

In the early days of the postal service, stamps and envelopes did not exist. (For the most part, envelopes were not used because they were considered to be and additional sheet of paper which cost more to send.) When you wanted to send a letter you would fold it up and seal it shut, and the person who received the letter had to pay for the delivery costs. Since rates at that time were very high, many people refused to accept letters. In fact, many people developed secret marks on the outside of the letter that conveyed their message and all the addressee had to do was read the secret message, refuse to accept the letter, and thus not have to pay for it. Mainly for this reason, postal services turned to a means of repaying postage. 
In 1837 Sir Rowland Hill, the British Postmaster General, introduced the “Post Office Reforms” whereby the mail could go anywhere in the British Isles at the same rate (a penny a half-ounce); the postage was to be paid by the sender-not the addressee; and payment was receipted by placing a small piece of colored paper on the outsider of the letter- THE STAMP! Of course Hill’s proposal was enacted and instituted in 1840. Thus on May 6, 1840 (first date of valid use) the first government-printed postage stamps were born.

A. the application of high fee	B. conflicts between senders and addressees

3. What was done against dishonest refusals of mails?
A. Senders were made to pay.	 B. Mailmen checked all posts carefully before delivery.
C. Post offices banned mails with secret massages.	 D. Blank envelopes got issued widely.
4. What was the major change made by “Post Office Reforms?”
A. Secret codes made between senders and addressees were dismissed.
B. All senders were equal in terms of payment rate
C. Stamps got colored to identify paid mails from unpaid ones
D. Printing got involved in the production of first stamps.
5. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
