                                                              Wings of Angel  
     I used to hate myself because I wasn't "normal". Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and
ride on a bicycle, but not   1  . I had a severe spinal cord disorder (脊髓病) and I knew I would always
be much   2   than others.
     I hated going to school and I hated people   3   at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and
standing straight and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the   4   and seeing an ugly hunchback (驼背).
     My friends found me   5   because I didn't let others get close to me. I thought I was going to go on
like this for the rest of my life   6   Angela appeared.
     That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school - a spot where no one would   7  
me. That's when I first heard her voice.
     "Hi. Can I sit down?"
     I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face.
     "What are you looking at?" she asked.
     "Ants."
     "What are they doing?"
     "No idea."
     "I bet they're playing games and making friends. Don't you think so?"
     That was how our   8   started and it didn't stop. We talked about everything under the sun-the ants,
the clouds, my little niche (处境) - until it was sunset.
     Then suddenly, she saw my   9  . She just stared.
    My heart sank. What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would   10   me now.
     She stood up, pointed at my back and said, "I know   11   your back is hunched."
     I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be sentenced. I begged in my heart for her to   12  , but she
just kept on going. "I know what you've got in there. Do you?"
     "No," I answered   13  .
     She bent and whispered in my ears.
     "Your back is hunched because you've got a pair of wings from the angels."  
     I was   14  . I looked into her eyes and her kindness touched my heart. From that day on, I started to
learn to   15   myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind-hearted friend.

Space travel is definitely bad for astronauts’ bones, reducing their bone density after only a month of weightlessness, according to French research published on Friday.
Laurence Vico and his fellow workers at St Etienne University called for more research into the effects of microgravity, after their study of 15 astronauts from the Russian MIR station showed bone loss continued throughout space flights.
"Bone loss was especially striking in four astronauts, " the scientists reported in the Lancet Medical Journal.
They measured the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) of bones in the forearm and lower leg of the astronauts who had spent one to six months in space.
The BMD loss was significant in the tibia of the lower leg, a weight-bearing bone, but barely changed in the radius of the forearm. "Our results indicate the need to investigate not only different bones, but also different areas of the same bone since not all sites of the skeleton are similarly affected by space conditions, " they added.
Without gravity the body isn’t bearing any weight so there is no need for calcium which makes bones p, and it becomes empty into the bloodstream.
The research team suggested in future scientists should try to determine if the loss of bone density was only on weight-bearing bones on longer flights, also the possible recovery after returning to Earth.

Scientists have found that ______.

A. the BMD loss may cause serious illness to astronauts
B. the BMD loss may cause some change in astronauts’ bodies
C. astronauts shouldn’t care about the BMD loss
D. astronauts should take some calcium before space travel
