Space tourism
Hand in hand with the one you love you gaze at the horizon to watch the earth rise. Then you decide to do some zero-gravity aerobics, while your partner goes off for a space walk. It sounds like science fiction, but companies around the world are working hard to make this sort of holiday a reality. The idea of space tourism had been around for nearly forty years now. At first NASA made plans for the ultimate in holiday destinations, but then private companies became involved in the mid-1980s. The Challenger shuttle disaster of 1986 postponed their plans, but now space is back as a future holiday resort.
The Hilton hotel group has produced ambitious and serious plans for hotels on the moon, as well as orbiting hotels. The plans include beaches, observation decks, and hundreds of honeymoon suites. The Hilton group thinks that many of their space tourists will be «just married» couples looking for a totally different holiday experience.
But zero-gravity will be a little uncomfortable. «There will be space motion sickness in the first few days, with headaches and nau-
32
sea», says Japan's National Space Development Agency. And if you get to the toilet in time, «Liquids simply float in droplets», says George Turner, a hopeful space tour operator.
Hotels will try to prevent these problems by providing areas with the sensation of gravity. This means going to parts of the hotel that will be spinning. Centrifugal force will push you against the wall, and give the feeling of some weight. Since it will be possible to lie down, many people will probably prefer to sleep in these areas. The alternative will be to strap themselves into a sleeping bag attached to a wall with velcro.
Sunbathing will be possible, but will require some very strong sunscreen about protection factor 1000. «The sun can be hundreds of times as strong in space as on the ground», explains Turner. However the plans all depend on one thing — cheap space travel. At the moment the only re-usable rocket is NASA's space shuttle. Even that has to have all its engines removed and repaired after every flight. The cost of each shuttle launch is $1 billion. A space craft that only costs $2 million per launch is what the travel industry is looking for. So far that remains a far off dream, but it may come a lot closer if someone wins «The X-Prize».
Launched in 1997, the X-Prize offers $10 million to anyone who can build a re-usable space craft. All you have to do is launch three people 100 km into space — twice within three weeks. So far 16 companies are racing to win the prize money. But the real prize will be the income from space tourism, estimated to be $12 billion per year. «Space tourism will come, I'm sure of it», says Turner. «Just think what you'll be able to tell your friends — that you had a holiday that was really out of this world!».

Aboriginal Art
Aboriginal art is one of the oldest traditions in the world. Originally, the art was created for folk ceremonies as part of the Aboriginal culture. It was not made for public viewing.
Nowadays, Aboriginal paintings and craftworks are exhibited in the great museums and art galleries around the world.
People who have little knowledge of Aboriginal culture are captivated by the paintings, symbols and colours used by the artists. Many art collectors buy the art for future investment. 42.___
Aboriginal art has not always been so well known. Before the 1970s, the public knew very little about aboriginal art except for «bark paintings». Bark paintings are decorations on dried strips of eucalyptus bark. For centuries these bark paintings were used for aboriginal ceremonies and rituals. 43.___
During the 1970s Geoffrey Bardon, a teacher in an Aboriginal elementary school in Papunya near Alice Springs encouraged his students to paint a mural in the school. At first progress was slow.
34
The teacher had not realised that certain objects could only be painted or represented following initiation ceremonies according to tribal law. When local elders became involved the project progressed. The elders became known as the «Painting Men». 44.___
The word «Aborigines» describes many different clans and traditions stretching across three million square miles. 45.___ For example, symbols mean different things to different tribes. However, there are similar themes, colour and texture common to Aboriginal artists everywhere.
As the aboriginal art grew in popularity, the Australian government realised that aboriginal art was unique and precious. 46.___
Today, Aboriginal artists are recognised as an important part of Australian culture and heritage and Aboriginal rituals and traditions.
A.The Papunya painting movement had begun.
B.Aboriginal artists are famous in Australia and beyond.
C.The museum has a fascinating collection of exhibits.
D.The government now offers help and assistance to artists.
E.Usually they would be destroyed after the ceremonies.

A.Following her stage success, Nicole and Tom Cruise spent the next two years working together. They worked with the director Stanley Kubrick on the ambitious film project Eyes Wide Shut.
B.No longer just «Mrs Cruise», Nicole showed the world her true character. At celebrity parties and functions she looked beautiful, elegant and extremely confident. Her performance in Moulin Rouge was a huge hit and she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress.
35
C.In 1995, Nicole played a murderous TV reporter in the film To Die For. Nicole's performance in To Die For, and other films shortly after, showed that she was a talented actress. Her celebrity marriage was not going to stop her career. Nicole was famous for her films but she also loved the theatre. She wanted to act on stage before a live audience. Her London stage debut came in David Hare s production of The Blue Room. It was an outstanding success. Her reputation as a talented and serious actress was assured.
D.Today, Nicole can choose from the many exciting roles and projects on offer. She appears in the film Cold Mountain based on the best selling book by Charles Frazier. The film is about the story of an injured soldier returning home from the American Civil War. Renee Zellweger and Natalie Portman also star in the film.
E.Nicole's career was going well and she was receiving lots of offers for work. However her private life was not so happy. In February 2001, Nicole and Tom Cruise announced that they were separating after 11 years of marriage. The couple said work commitments had damaged their marriage. During this traumatic time, Nicole Kidman showed an impressive dignity. She tried very hard to protect the couple's adopted children, Isabella and Conner. After her divorce Nicole spent as much time as possible in Australia with her children. Her family and friends gave her the support she needed.
