Interviewer: So let me ask about the space station. Was eating in space difficult Captain Brown: Not really. We don’t have to cook in space. We choose what we want to eat before we go to space, and then the food is prepared and stored for us.We just have to heat the food and enjoy it. Interviewer: Cool.Well, I know astronauts cannot shower in space since the water would float away, so I’d love to know how you keep yourselves clean. Post listening Captain Brown:Oh, we use a soapy towel to wash. And we brush our teeth the same way as we do on Earth. But astronauts usually swallow their toothpaste. Interviewer: Gosh, I hope it tasted good! So how long did you stay in space during your last mission Captain Brown: I was there for more than five months. Interviewer: Wow! So what kind of work did you do up there Captain Brown: I was usually busy doing different experiments. Interviewer: Did you have any free time Do astronauts get time off Captain Brown: Yes. When I was free, I played the guitar. That's right———I took my guitar with me. I also played chess. My favourite thing to do, though, was to have my weekly video call with my family. 吞下，咽下 牙膏 Expressio ... ...
