　　（请同学们改好后把答案反馈给我们）

　　【创新园地】答案与说明：

　　1 . doctor → doctor's。此处须用名词所有格形式表示"医生的汽车"。2 . In → To . in surprise 意为"惊奇地"，指人的内在心理；to one's surprise 意为"使某人吃惊的是，出乎意料地"，指外界的事变导致人的心理感觉。3 . 在 out 后加 of。out of 表示"从……出来"，get out of the car 意为"从汽车上下来"。(这是一习惯用法，比较：get off the bus / train . ) 。4 . wanted 后加 to。句中 telephone 后有宾语，是动词，故want 后须接带 to 的不定式作宾语。5 . 去掉 help 前的 the。句中 help 是抽象名词，通常情况下其前不加冠词。6 . patient → patients。"one of…"表示"很多人(或物)中的一个"，所以 of 后面须接可数名词复数。7 . quick → fast。quick 和 fast 均为形容词，都有"快，迅速"之意，但 quick 侧重动作的短促、迅速，即一瞬间的动作(有时也指人的思维敏捷，反应灵敏)；fast 侧重一段时间内不间断的快速运动，指人或物本身具有速度快的特点。8 . have → has。句中主语是 a very bad accident，是单数，故句中谓语动词须用单数与其保持一致。9 . √ . 10 . a → the。此处所提到的 driver 并非泛指，而是特指文中出了车祸的"那位司机"，故其前应用定冠词。

　　Eating In Space

　　Eating in space is different from eating on earth . The food that astronauts carry with them does not look like the food you eat on earth .

　　Some food is carried in closed bags . It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it . All the water is removed from the food . In the space capsule (密封座舱) , the astronauts puts the water back . He "shoots"hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun . He eats the food through a small hole in the bag .

　　Other foods come in bite sizes . The astronauts puts a whole piece in his mouth at a time . There can be no crumbs (碎屑) . Crumbs would float around the capsule and get in the way . Meat , cake , and cereal (谷类) often come in bite-sized pieces .

　　Between 1953 and 1960, 110 people in Japan's Minimata Bay area died mysteriously. Studies showed that people had eaten fish in which quantities of mercury(汞)were found. Where did it come from? It was poured into the bay by a plastics plant. The Japanese government closed that plant and started strictly controlling the use disposal(处理)of mercury compounds(化合物).But this didn't prevent another terrible event.

　　In 1965, 26 people at Nigata, Japan, were struck by mercury poisoning. Five died. All of them had eaten fish with mercury in it. And again it was caused by a plastics plant.

　　Events like these are not limited to agriculture or plastics plants. Because of such events, however, it is clear that we must maintain a close watch over our practices concerning poisons, foods and water. Indeed, in our industrial age close watch may forever be the price of health.

　　Maps are our oldest literature(文献), older than books. People think a map was the first thing the Human ever wrote the communicate each other. Perhaps one million years ago, with a stick in the mud of a lake bed, the earlier the Human drew some lines to stand for the lake, a river, a thick forest and some good hunting grounds beyond the forest.

　　It made so much sense that people took it for magic(魔术). They expressed the world in a picture. There was something so real about this new thing called "map" that it helped us believe we could get there. It not only strengthened belief that good hunting existed beyond the forest, but it strongly suggested that the future existed; it was a place we could go to and be there, tomorrow. What a comfort.
