39、row plants in a space station.And its a good thing that she hasalready started her work, because space gardening can be really hard.As usual, astronaut George White looked into the closed plant room. He had planted Dr.Williamss quick-growing seedlings in it, but none of the stems were showing. He op
40、ened theroom to check and found the problem. The stems werent growing upward and the rootswerent growing downward. On Earth, gravity（重力）helps a plants stems and roots to find“up”and “down”. However, in the space station, there was almost no gravity.Dr. Williams suggested a solution: give the plants
41、more light, as plants also use sunlightto find their way.And it worked. When the plants had more light, the stems turned up and theroots went down.试卷第 8页，总 11页Now Dr. Williams was free to worry about the next problem:Would her baby plants liveto flower? Can we grow food on a space journey?Many plant
42、s died in the space station. Dr. Williams thought she knew why: the spaceplants were hungry for air. Plants live by taking up CO2from the air. Since a plant uses it upin the air around, the plant needs moving air to bring more CO2close to its surface! On Earth,the air is always moving. Gravity pulls
43、 down cold air, and warm air rises.And with these airmovements, plants get enough CO2.Many earlier experiments with plants in space had used closed rooms.Dr. Williams trieda new greenhouse that had a fan to keep the air move. The plants loved it. They flowered andeven produced more seeds. Using Dr.
44、Williamss method, astronaut George completed thefirst seed-to-seed experiment in space, and moved one plant closer to a garden in space.“And this,” says Dr.Williams, “is good news for long-term space travel.”41Why have Dr. Williamss team tried to grow plants in space?ATo produce fresh air for astron
