In the summer of 1969,six-year-old Mike Massimino watched wide-eyed on the

television as Neil Armstrong took the first step on the moon.He immediately made his

mom turn his elephant school play costume into that of an astronaut for Halloween.

As a child attracted by the universe,he dreamt of becoming an astronaut.But his

wish caught up with him when he realized he didn't have the ideal skill set to make it

as an astronaut:He was afraid of heights,had poor eyesight and couldn't swim.

Given all of Massimino's difficulty in qualifying as an astronaut,he worked for a

different career.However,when the Challenger exploded,Massimino decided he

wouldn't wait any longer to realize his dream.

NASA's elite program of astronauts introduces a new class every couple of

years.If you don't make it,you won't be considered again until the next

round.Massimino first applied( 申请 )to the program in 1989.Eight months later,he

received his rejection(拒绝)letter in the mail.Unsurprised,he began carrying out space

research,working toward his PhD in engineering at MIT.He applied again two years

later for the 1992 astronaut class.He got rejected again.Years later,for the class of

1995,Massimino's application turned out unsuccessful.The interview was as tough as

one would imagine.

Massimino failed because of something he could not change—not having

20/20vision(视力).He didn't stop there.After extensive research,he had vision training

for nearly a year,having taken advice from others in the space science field,helping his

eyes focus more clearly on objects(物体)in front of him.

Sending out his fourth application to NASA like a shot in the dark with a note

from his eye doctor on his improvements,Massimino got a call.They would let him

retake his eye test.He passed.

“Making a decision to give up on my dream after coming so close was

unthinkable,”he said,“One in a million is not zero.I knew that if I gave up,I would

always wonder what would have happened.”

Mammoth Cave National Park,in the state of Kentucky,is a unique and historical

natural wonder.It has the world's longest cave system.There may be another 600 miles

of cave passageways that-have yet to be explored.In addition,more than 200 caves that

are disconnected from the larger system can be found in the park.

1925.After years of work,as well as building roads and public facilities,the park was

taking at our of the caves—everything from a cultural tour to the more adventurous

tours on offer.The cave supports more than 130 wildlife species( 物种 ).The park is

also much more than just a cave;the forest around has a diverse(多种多样的)range of

species.There are miles of trails open for horseback riding,with canoe trails and great
