26、m space. While NASA is busy working on its own solution, the agency has increasingly turned to US private companies, such as Elon Musk's SpaceX, to meet its off - planet transportation needs. Although SpaceX has successfully flown cargo (貨物)flights for NASA since 2012 via the reusable Dragon spa

27、cecraft, the company has yet to launch humans in its so-called Crew Dragon capsule. Originally scheduled to launch in 2017 , the program has seen multiple delays. After all, it is rocket science and the path has not been easy.But 2019 seemed different. NASA's pre- purchased Soyuz flights had run

28、 out by the end of 2019, and SpaceX, along with Boeing, had scheduled all its final tests to achieve certification in time to pick up where Soyuz left off. On March 2, the Crew Dragon capsule was launched on a run without crew toward the International Space Station (ISS). The flight, known as Demo -

29、1, went successfully.The next major milestone scheduled was the in - flight abort test(飛行中止測試 ),another dry mission meant to test the reliability of the abort system that would save the crew in case of any accident during launch. The plan was to use the same capsule from the Demo-1 flight. But Space

30、X never got the chance.In April 2019, the company ran what was supposed to be a routine test, firing certain rockets with the capsule anchored firmly to the ground. Some 100 milliseconds before the engines fired, a leak of oxidizer caused an explosion that completely destroyed the capsule.SpaceX spe

35、ing else. I'm the coach, so I can't choose to give it a miss.It was yet another cold, dark, wet evening and I wasn't feeling the love as I gathered all the necessary outfits head torch, reflective waterproof jacket, hat and gloves. No one in their right mind will come out in this weather

36、, I thought. But when I turned into the car park, my headlights picked out runners making a dash through the rain to our meeting point, where others were already working out to stay warm, with chat, laughter and hugs. They, too, I realized, might be tired, stressed or busy. But, unlike me, they had

37、a choice about whether to come running or stay at home. And that makes their decision to come and to keep on coming all the more uplifting. As on so many other occasions, I went home from the run feeling better than when I'd arrived.I believe one of the strongest motivations behind these runners

38、' decisions to come along is being part of a group. Belonging to a running community makes running greater than the sum of its parts. It's no longer just a workout; it's a catch- up with friends, a laugh and a shared experience. It provides a space to share your running triumphs and disa

39、ppointments, to be congratulated and comforted, and, just as important, to congratulate and comfort others.Research has long shown the likelihood of staying motivated is higher when exercise takes place in a group. The reasons are many. A study at the University of Southern California found people e

Using data from 90 million runs taking place all over the world, Strava found that the average pace of runs taking place in a group was seven seconds per mile quicker than solo runs, and the distance covered was an average of1.3

42、miles further.I joke about people being more motivated to come to my running sessions by the tea and biscuits afterwards than by the running itself. There's probably some truth in that, but it doesn't matter. Those laughter - and chatter- filled minutes are every bit as important as the runn

46、anked as the third leading cause of death in the United States. While physicians had begun to accept that TB was caused by bacteria, this understanding was slow to catch on among the general public, and most people gave little attention to the behaviors that contributed to disease transmission. They

47、 didn't understand that things they did could make them sick. It was common for family members, or even strangers, to share a drinking cup.In the 1890s the New York City Health Department launched a massive campaign to educate the public and reduce transmission. The “ War on Tuberculosis ” publi

48、c health campaign discouraged cup-sharing and urged stat to ban spitting inside public buildings and on sidewalks and in other outdoor spaces. Changes in public behavior helped successfully reduce the spread of TB.Disease can permanently change society, and often for the best by creating better prac

49、tices and habits. Crisis sets off action and response. Many infrastructure improvements and healthy behaviors we consider normal today are the result of past health campaigns that responded to serious outbreaks.In the 19th century, city streets in the U S. overflowed with dirt. People threw their un

50、wanted newspapers, food scraps, and other trash out of their windows onto the streets below. The plentiful horses pulling streetcars and delivery carts dropped urine and waste every day. Human waste was a problem, too. Those in tenement(租戶) housing did not have their own facilities, but had 25 to 30

51、 people sharing a single outhouse. These toiletsfrequently overflowed until workers known as“ night soil men ” arrived to deal with waste, only to dump it innearby harbor.As city and health leaders began to understand that the frequent outbreaks of TB that swept across their cities were connected to

52、 the garbage, cities began setting up organized systems for handling human waste. Indoor toilets were slow to catch on, due to the cost and need of a plumbing system. Improvements in technology helped the process along. Following Thomas Crapper's improved model in 1891, water closets became popu

53、lar, first among the wealthy, and then among the middle - class. Plumbing systems, paired with tenement house reform, helped remove waste from the public streets.Disease greatly improved aspects of American culture, too. As physicians came to believe that good ventilation( 通風(fēng) ) and fresh air could h

54、elp fight illness, builders started adding porches and windows to houses.Real estate investors used the trend to market migration to the West, encouraging Eastern physicians to convince TB patients and their families to move thousands of miles from crowded, dirty Eastern cities to the dry air and su

55、nshine in places like Los Angeles and Colorado Springs.Some of this influence continues today. While we know that sunshine doesn't kill bacteria, good ventilation and time spent outside does benefit children and adults by promoting physical activity and improving spirits. This fresh- air “ cure”

56、 also eventually transformed the study of climate into a formal science, as people began to chart temperature, barometric pressure and other weather patterns in hopes of identifying the “ ideal” conditions for treating disease.Public health emergencies have inspired innovations in education. Startin

57、g in 1910， Thomas Edison's lab,which had invented one of the first motion picture devices in the 1890s, cooperated with anti- tuberculosis activists to produce short films on TB prevention and transmission some of the first educational movies. Screened in public places in rural areas, the TB mov

58、ies were also the first films that viewers had ever seen.As we are seeing with the coronavirus today, disease can impact a community changing routines and shaking nerves as it spreads from person to person. But the effects of epidemics extend beyond the moments in which they occur.()65. According to Paragraph 1, what might have led to the outbreak of TB in the US?A. Limited access to treatment. B. Incompetence of the physicians.C. Unhealthy living habits. D. Poor governmental administr
