Every kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.

Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.

Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book!

"Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right.

Tim Greenhalgh,a professor,explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.

51. We can infer from the article that _________.

A. Kidults like to have vitamins very much

B. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can't give up their toys

C. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don't want people to know that they are kidults

D. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much

52. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way except that _______.

A. it can help kidults feel relaxed

B. it is helpful to solve some social problems

C. it can make people loyal to one's parents

D it can improve the relationship between parents and their kids

53. According to the writer, _______.

A. our society is very dull B. kidults have mental problems

C. being a kidult is nothing wrong D. some people can never grow up

Astronauts aboard the space station celebrated a space first on Wednesday by drinking water that had been recycled from their urine(尿), sweat and water got from air. They said “cheers” to NASA workers on the ground.

The urine recycling system is needed for astronaut stations on the moon and Mars. It also will save NASA money because it won’t have to ship up as much water to the station by space shuttle or cargo rocket. Besides, it’s important as the space station is about to expand from three people living on board to six.

The recycling system had been brought up to the space station last November, but it couldn’t be used until samples(样品) were tested back on earth. So when it came time to actually drink up, NASA made a big deal of it. The three-man crew stood holding their drinks and congratulated engineers in two NASA centers that worked on the system.

“This is something that had been the stuff of science fiction,” American astronaut Michael Barratt said before taking a small mouthful. The taste is worth trying.”

The new system takes the combined urine of the crew from the toilet and moves it to a big tank, where the water is boiled off, and the vapor is collected. The rest of the urine is thrown away. Then the water vapor is mixed with water from air, and then it goes through filters (过滤器). When six crew members are aboard, it can make about six gallons from urine in about six hours.

“Some people may find the idea of drinking recycled urine distasteful, but it is also done on earth, but with a lot longer time between urine and the tap,” said Marybeth Edeen, the space station’s national lab manager.

The technology NASA developed for this system has already been used for quick water purification after the 2004 Asian tsunami.

54. According to the text, the recycling system is important because __________.

A. it makes traveling to the moon for the average person possible

B. with it NASA won’t need to ship any water up to the space station

C. it protects the environment in space by reducing the amount of waste
