[00:09.40]1 After reading the statements,listen to the tape for the time.
[00:16.95]Then decide whether they are true or not.
[02:44.23]2 Fill in the chart below after listening to the tape a second time.
[02:51.39]LISTENING TASK
[02:58.21]This is part of Professor Wallis'interview with Li Yanping,
[03:03.98]the famous astronomer,about his first space walk.
[03:08.84]1 Listen to the interview and answer the question below.
[05:18.51]2 You have been sent a spacesuit from the Space Exploration¹ Centre
[05:26.45]and you need to identify the different parts.
[05:30.11]Listen to the tape again.Pick out the information and draw lines
[05:37.48]from the list to where things are on the suit of the astraunant.
[05:42.80]READING TASK    CAUGHT IN A BLACK HOLE
[05:56.28]The spaceship warned² Li Yanping and me to be ready as we approaching the "black hole".
[06:03.94]There seemed to be a large circle of lights going round an empty space.
[06:09.08]Li Yanping called out,"That empty hole is like a mouth always needing to be fed.
[06:15.25]The lights are large stars being slowly sucked³ into it."
[06:19.61]We watched in shock and amazement⁴
[06:22.54]as a large sun suddenly disappeared into the hole.
[06:26.61]Just then the lights on our spaceship went out and the computer stopped working.
[06:32.67]What was happening?I tried to turn the spaceship away from the hole
[06:38.24]but it would not move.Would it eat us too?
[06:42.60]Suddenly the spaceship jumped and began to move 
[06:46.83]round the edge⁵ of the outside of the hole.
[06:49.89]The gravity⁶ of the "black hole"was pulling us slowly into its"mouth".
[06:55.45]As the spaceship moved round the hole,it began to go faster and faster.
[07:01.30]I felt sick.My watch moved slower and slower and time seemed almost to stop.
[07:08.15]My mouth went dry and I closed my eyes.
[07:11.91]All the stories about what happeded
[07:14.68]when you were caught by the gravity of a "black hole"seemed to be true.
[07:19.41]But then the spaceship jumped again.
[07:22.15]This time it moved sideways from the "black hole."
[07:26.09]It began to increase its speed until it seemed to be going as fast as light.
[07:31.74]I was bumped⁷ and banged⁸ as the spaceship flew like a bird away from the "black hole".
[07:37.61]What was happening?At last we slowed almost to a stop
[07:43.18]and we were able to look around us.
[07:46.13]The sky certainly looked different
[07:48.98]but this would not be a problem as the computer started working again.
[07:53.65]We realized that we had discovered something new about"black holes".
[07:58.82]They"eat"some objects but"spit"other objects out.How exciting
