The adage that “a woman’s place is in the home” no longer applies to the dauntless ladies in space. The 
first woman in space was a Soviet who orbited the earth with a male companion in 1963 and landed 
unscathed after a three-day sojourn aboard a spacecraft. Seemingly, it was inevitable that another Soviet 
woman would repeat her feat. The second woman in space was Svetlana Savitskaya, a parachutist and test 
pilot, who served as researcher aboard Soviet Soyuz T-7, which had a rendezvous with Salyut 7, the space 
station in which the longest manned orbital flight was completed.
Ms. Savitskaya’s aptitude for space travel was patent in her past experience in aviation. Holder of several 
women’s records in aviation, she had flown sundry types of aircraft and made over 500 parachute jumps. 
Her father was a Soviet Air Force Marshal, and her husband a pilot. Without a qualm she boarded the 
spacecraft with her commander, Lieutenant Colonel Leonid Popov, and another rookie astronaut who was 
the flight engineer.
Soviet authorities announced that they were looking forward to gaining further information about “weaker 
sex” , so-called in the Soviet newspaper Tass, under the stressful conditions of space travel. Sex, however, 
is not considered n impediment but rather a benefit in space, for the Soviet have lauded women for their 
precision and accuracy in carrying out experiments.
As planned, the American put their first woman in space in mid-1983. Sally Ride was their choice. Ms. 
Ride joined the NASA program with five other women and thirty men to train as astronauts in the space 
shuttle program. She faces an epoch when space travel will no longer be a glamorous adventure but rather a 
commonplace day’s work.
1. The word “rookie” is closest in meaning to
 A. well-known B. novice C. experienced D. practicing

 A. public outcry B. their husbands

4. The Soviet Salyut 7 was
 A. joined by Solyut T-7 B. manned by a woman
 C. an experiment D. a training craft
5. Ms. Savitskaya was chosen to travel into space because
 A. her father was in the Soviet Air Force and her husband was a pilot
 B. She was dauntless
 C. her ability to endure stress and her precision in doing experiments
 D. She was experienced in aviation
6. How did you know whether the statement “Ms. Savitskaya showed no fear of space travel” is true or 
false?
 A. It was stated B. It was implied
 C. No information was given D. It was invented
7. From the use of the term “weaker sex”, you can infer that the Soviets
 A. think that Soviet women are not strong B. entertain a bias against women
