Reading.
Read the text. Choose the best title. (4 points) and answer the questions. (6 points)
a. An American goes into space.
b. A millionaire pays to be a space tourist.
c. The Russian space agency makes money.
In May 2000 Dennis Tito became the first space tourist. He paid about
twenty million dollars to the Russian space programme and he traveled to
the Alpha space station with two Russian cosmonauts. He stayed in space for about a week
and when he came down to Earth again, his face showed that he had a great time. There
were television pictures of him smiling and laughing with his Russian companions.
Dennis Tito was a millionaire and he was American, from California, so you might ask these
questions: Why did he go into space with the Russians? Why didnt he go with the
Americans?
The answer is that Americans thought it was too dangerous to have a tourist in space and
they didnt need money. The Russians, however, thought that twenty million dollars was a
good reason to take the risk!
