As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success.
Scientists have found out that the radiation(辐射) is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of the radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The harm of the radiation won’t be found until their children even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really effective medicine has been found so far.
Space rubbish is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It’s reported that there were 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space rubbish. An explosion(爆炸) in space in 1999 made a cloud of 300,000 fragments, each at least 4mm in size. A small piece of these even knocked a spaceship window and caused some damage(损坏).
Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working to deal with space rubbish. Although space is really dangerous, it interests many people on the earth. In the near future, it may become possible for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So we should do something to help improve the space environment.

One possible vision:
A survey shows that some students have a bad habit of not having breakfast. That’s because they study too late at night and they can sleep longer without breakfast in the morning. And their parents are too busy to look after them. They just give them some money for breakfast. But some boys spend the money playing computer games. Some girls don’t have breakfast in order to keep slim. As a result, they feel sleepy in class. They take no interest in studying, they do worse in the exams. And their bodies are getting worse and worse. To make the things better, they should have breakfast every day because it’s good for their health and it can help them think better. Teenagers’ health should begin with good breakfast.
