Going to outer space is a little like going camping.You have to carry with you all the food and
equipment you need for your trip, so your food can't be too heavy or hard to prepare.Plus, there are
no refrigerators to keep food cold and fresh.
Food with all the water dried out is lightweight and doesn't spoil.So, many space foods are dried
on Earth and stored in special packets.Some, such as dried pears, taste good right out of the packet.
But to eat the turkey in this outerspace Thanksgiving dinner, an astronaut must add water and heat the
packets.
On Earth, gravity is the force that keeps your feet on the ground and your sandwich on your plate.
But there's no gravity in space.To keep food from floating away, astronauts on the Space Shuttle attach
the packets to a special tray.The tray can be fixed to a wall or to the astronaut's lap.To prepare their
food, astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper.The liquid sticks to the food better.Regular salt
and pepper would float away, maybe up an astronaut's nose.Achoo!
Liquids float right out of cups and glasses, though.So astronauts drink everything from a small bag
with a straw(饮料吸管) that can be closed.Astronauts say that most space foods taste pretty good.
Some, such as apples and pudding are the same as the foods you eat on Earth.
Astronauts eat tortillas(玉米粉圆饼) instead of bread because they make fewer crumbs(碎屑).
Floating crumbs could get stuck in equipment or an astronaut's eye.
Your body uses food in space the same way it does on Earth.Your body must get rid of waste in
space too.
During take off and landing, astronauts can't leave their seats to go to the bathroom.They wear
diapers(尿布) under their spacesuits instead.
The Space Shuttle has a bathroom the size of a small closet.The toilet has bars that keep astronauts
from floating away.
A strong flow of air is used instead of water to flush waste down the toilet.Back on Earth it's flushed
away－or sometimes studied by scientists.

），对B管进行温度刻线．已知温度
，管内与槽中水银面的高度差
，此高度即为27℃的刻度线．求当t=0℃时，刻度线与槽中水银面的高度差
．
，利用该装置测量温度时所得读数仍为27℃，则此时实际温度是多少？
