The huge difference between the expectatins and the realities f travel hit me a few hurs after we landed in Cab SanLucas, Mexic.

Then, I was scared ut f surfing by waves that seemed t messy and pwerful fr my skills, A chilly fg kept me frm unrlling the sundresses I'd carefully packed, and I ended up wrapped in the same sweat-shirt that I wre n the airplane All seemed ruined.
During the episde, I nearly drve myself crazy by asking cnstantly,"Hw can I make this better Can I find a different rute in the traffic?" But it was just abut acceptance; getting int the mment accepting what it is, and trusting—trusting this may nt be the best mment f the vacatin, but there can still be gd mments f the vacatin.
Indeed, I nticed a shift in my md. At sme stage I did drink a margarita. Eventually, I had an enjyable afternn f surfing in the sun. But when I fndly remember this vacatin nw. I mre ften return t curling up n the htel cuch with my husband, watching "Stranger Things" in sweats; r sittings and-caked n the beach watching ur daughter digging with a lcal girl. In thse small mments, I was simply present. That's what vacatin is all abut.

US astrnaut Mae Jemisn was nly a little girl back in the 1960s. But she was ld enugh t knw there was smething strange with the Apll astrnauts as she watched them g int space n TV: They were all men-n wmen culd be seen.
"That was the mst absurd thing in the wrld," Jemisn, nw an astrnaut herself, nce tld The Atantic."I just thugh, wuld the aliens actually think this is all there is t humanity".
Frtunately, the past five decades have seen the wrld becming a less "absurd" place. Frm NASA's first astrnaut class in 1959, which was all-male, t its 2013 class, in which half f all eight members were wmen, we can see hw things are changing.
And n March 29,anther histry was abut t be made when an all-female team-Anne McClain and Christina Kch - was scheduled t make an "all-wmen spacewalk" since all previus spacewalks were dne with at least ne male astrnaut. But that plan was eventually can celled, due t "spacesuit availability",which means NASA desn't have tw suits that fit wmen.
The wrld is still pretty "absurd" after all.
In fact, tests have lng prved that wmen are nt at all less cmpetent than men when it cmes t space tasks. But apparently, test results are nt enugh t fight ff the wrld's lng-existing biases against wmen.Accrding t Atlas Obscura magazine, female astrnauts were smetimes asked sexist questins during news cnferences - examples include hw they wuld live fr a week withut makeup, r hw they culd leave their children behind t g n space missins - when male astrnauts were never bthered by such questins.
Hpefully - give it anther few decades - we'll be able t see a wrld that's fully grwn ut f its absurdity in terms f gender equality. And hpefully, when aliens d cme visit ne f ur space statins,they'll see humanity the way it shuld be.
28.Which f the fllwing descriptins fits Mae Jemisn?
A.When she was yung in 1960s, she knew nthing f the Apll astrnauts.
B.She believed that the aliens thught there was n wman n earth.
C.She fund it unfair t see all the Apll astrnauts were men.
D.She wanted t be ne f the Apll astrnauts.
29.What happened in NASA accrding t paragraph 4?
A.The astrnauts class which were male became all female in 2013.
B.An all-female team made "all wmen spacewalk "plan cme true.
C."All wmen spacewalk" plan was canceled because f astrnauts'ability.
D.The shrtage f space suits upset the "all wmen spacewalk"plan.
30.We can draw the cnclusin frm the tests that___
A.Wmen are mre cmpetent than men in space tasks.
B.Despite the results, the wrld's lng-existing biases against wmen still exists.
C. It is difficult fr wmen nt t use makeup fr wrk.
D.Male astrnauts never leave children behind t g n space missins.
31.What view did the authr hld in the last paragraph?
A. When aliens visit ur space statins, they will sce mre human beings.
B.He believes that there will be n absurdity abut the equality between men and wmen.
C.The wrld may becme ne full f humans and aliens.
D. Our space statin will grw fully in anther few decades.
