Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene（场景）, but each perceives（察觉）something different about it. 　　 Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket（罚单）. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow（拉着）. For perception（感知） is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses—in this case our eyes—tell us. 　　 Many psychologists（心理学家） today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene. 【小题1】Perceiving is an action that takes place _____.

To build a house , you need workers. They use their hands , tools(工具) and machines to put things together. Building the ISS（国际太空站） is the same. The difference is that the workers are astronauts. They walk in space and use robots’ arms and hands to do their work. In the space station ,astronauts are comfortable. The temperature there is about 21℃.But outside the station , it can be too hot or cold for people. In the sunlight, it’s about 120℃. In the shadow(阴暗处)of the station, it’s about -85℃ . So when astronauts walk in space, they have to wear heavy clothes----spacesuits. Spacesuits also keep astronauts safe from flying rubbish(垃圾)in space. Each time people go into space , they leave rubbish there. So astronauts should be careful because there’s a lot of rubbish, some rubbish goes many times as fast as a plane ! Space walking is not easy , and it can be dangerous. So getting ready for it takes a lot of time to learn. Astronauts will need to do 160 space walks to finish their work in the ISS. That will take about 1,900man-hour of work. 【小题1】What’s the temperature in the space station?
