流氓软件清理A
Four years ago, my sweet mom went to be with her Lord. She did it her way.
I got the call at work, and I headed home quickly. Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was ven. I hated going there every weekend. There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV t, if the weather allowed reception.
My mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land. The place was rustic(乡村的), with no indoor plumbing or heat. We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhou, but it always emed cold and too quiet to me.
In the evenings, my mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. I sang the melody and Mom harmonized. Her favorite song was “Moon River” and we sang it over and over. Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl, I could sing before I could talk.
As time pasd, I had my own children and went to visit them every week or two. The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad. Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm. While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I misd the hustle and bustle(喧闹)of my life at home. But I sat there listening quietly as she reminisced.( 叙旧)
Now, I sat back in the silence and the silence was deafening so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio. Music always forted me. My heart skipped a beat. “Moon River” was playing on the radio. I sat there stunned,with a tear running down my cheek, as I listened to every familiar note.

amiliar song began. I began to cry harder as I heard the words sung over the airwaves.

This may sound like a joke about a lazy person's dream job. Earn big money by staying in bed and watching TV. But this is really happening, and it's a project of NASA and two European space agencies: the Institute of Aerospace Medicine at the Cologne-bad German Aerospace Center and the European Space Agency. It's called Artificial Gravity Bed Rest Study, aimed at studying how the body adapts to weightlessness in space.
Scientists are eking 12 women to spend two full months in bed in the fall at a German lab, plus an additional month there for preparation and recovery. The first 12 test subjects, all men, already have started the study

Participants spend two entire months in bed and remain lying down even to do everyday things like eating, drinking and exercising. They also answer nature's call and shower, but it's unclear from the NASA website how tho tasks are acplished in bed.
“Daily routine showering, getting dresd, eating, exercising takes much time when you c
annot stand up to do them," says the website, adding that there is "continuous data collection", including blood pressure, heart rate, nutrient absorption and also the participants' feelings. Study subjects will spend the 60 days with their heads tilteddown six degrees, which imitates conditions in space.
Participants are encouraged to pass the time by watching TV, taking online cours, reading and any other activities they can perform while lying down alone in bed to relieve what could, be boredom. Family and friends are allowed to visit.
