4．　　Six hours of walking in space! On August 20, Chinese astronauts Liu Boming and Nie Haisheng did the second spacewalk of the Shenzhou XII mission (任务). They set up equipment (设备) and lifted a camera outside the Tiangong space station.
　　Spacewalks can be dangerous. There is no air in space, of course. And it's filled with harmful radiation (辐射). But the spacesuits, although they are bulky (臃肿的), can protect astronauts. A spacesuit is like a small space station. It has everything astronauts need when they carry out a spacewalk. For example, China's Feitian (飞天) spacesuits have six layers (层). The innermost (最里面的)layer collects astronauts' urine (尿液). Then there are four layers that help control the temperature and air pressure inside the suit. Spacesuits are filled with air, so they look like they're puffed up. The sixth layer is made of special fibers (纤维) that protect astronauts from radiation.
　　Astronauts are connected to the space station with safety ropes. The suit has headphones and speakers for astronauts to communicate. There is also a mirror on the wrist (手腕). Astronauts can check their suits by looking at it.
　　Each suit costs around 30 million yuan and it takes four months to make just one!The first Feitian suit was made in 2008. Zhai Zhigang wore it to carry out China's first spacewalk for about 19 minutes. The suits Chinese astronauts wear today are the second generation (代) of Feitian. It can support walks as long as eight hours and can be used more often. The first generation could only be used five times within two years, while the second generation can be used 15 times within three years.

I parked my car and asked if there was anything I could do for him. He looked at me in surprise and said, "Could you buy me a sandwich if the store has one?" It had everything but a sandwich.
