   Ivan Fletcher loves crazy invention. He writes a Weekly magazine column called "Unbelievable Inventions".
   "One of my favorite inventions is the Butter Stick. It looks like a Stick of glue (胶), but it's butter. You rub it on the bread instead of using a knife," he says. Another cool invention is Duster Slippers for pets. You put these special shoes on your dog or cat. As the animal runs around your house, it collects dust from the floor. Very useful!" A lot of these inventions come from Japan --- the home of the crazy invention.
   Ivan says that the British also invent a lot of crazy things. "The other day I found an invention called a Cat Seat Saver," he says. "The Cat Seat Saver looks exactly like a sleeping cat but it isn't real. You put it on your seat if you have to go to the restroom. No one will sit on your seat because they think there's a sleeping cat on it. Pretty cool!"
  However, does anyone buy these things? Yes. Lucy Wade from the shopping website crazygadgets.com says that their customers are young, professional people.
  "They buy these small things mostly for fun," she says. "They are usually looking for a present for a friend's birthday or a silly gift for a colleague."
   If you have an idea for an amazing invention, send it to Lucy at lucyw@crazygadgets.

八、阅读表达 (共5小题，计10分)
阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。
When astronauts are in space, they eat, sleep, wash, work and play. 83 They do the same things as us, but they do them differently. 
On Earth, we put food on a plate and water in a glass. Gravity (引力) holds the food down and keeps the water in the glass. But in space, there is almost no gravity. So food can float(漂浮) away, and astronauts must eat and drink carefully.
Sleeping is very difficult in space. Some astronauts like to float in the air, but most like to be in a sleeping bag. They tie（拴）the bag to a wall so that they don’t float away in the night.
Washing is difficult. There is no shower or bath, so astronauts must use a sponge(海绵), They brush their teeth normally: they don’t want wet toothpaste to float around the spacecraft! 
Exercise is very important in space. On Earth, your legs carry your body, but in space, astronauts float, so they do not use their legs. 84 This is very bad for their legs, so they must exercise for thirty minutes every day. They often use an exercise bicycle for this.
After a day’s work, astronauts relax. They may listen to music, read, watch films, play games, or talk to their friends and families by radio. On the International Space Station, astronauts sometimes race from one end of the station to the other. The most popular pastime is looking out of the window, looking at the space and watching the Earth.
    （一）根据短文内容回答下列问题。
    81. Why does food not float on Earth?

    82. What does most astronauts sleep in when they are in space?
