Then answer each question.  \nWhat is a Spacewalk?  \nAny time an astronaut gets out of a vehicle while in space, it is  \ncalled a spacewalk. A spacewalk is also called an EVA . EVA stands  \nfor extravehicular activity.  \nThe first person to go on a spacewalk was Alexei Leonov. He was from Russia. The first spacewalk was on March 18, 1965. It was 10 minutes long.  \nThe first American to go on a spacewalk was Ed White. His spacewalk was on June 3, 1965, during the Gemini 4 mission. White's spacewalk lasted 23 minutes.  \nToday, astronauts go on spacewalks outside the International Space Station. Spacewalks usually last  \nbetween five and eight hours, depending on the job.  \nThe world record for the most spacewalks is held by Russian astronaut Anatoly Solovyev. He has been on 16 spacewalks and spent more than 82 hours outside in space. That's almost 3 ½ days of walking in space! NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria holds the U . S . record for the most spacewalks. He has done 10 spacewalks and spent more than 67 hours.  \nWhy Do Astronauts Go on Spacewalks?  \nAstronauts go on spacewalks for many reasons. Spacewalks let astronauts work outside their spacecraft while still in space.  \nGrade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nAstronauts can do science experiments on a spacewalk. Experiments can be placed on the outside of a spacecraft. This lets scientists learn how being in space affects different things.  \nSpacewalks also let astronauts test new equipment. They can repair satellites or spacecraft that are in space. By going on spacewalks, astronauts can fix things instead of bringing them back to Earth to fix .  \nHow Do Astronauts Go on Spacewalks?  \nWhen astronauts go on spacewalks, they wear spacesuits to keep themselves safe. Inside spacesuits, astronauts have the oxygen they need to breathe. They have the water they need to drink.  \nAstronauts put on their spacesuits several hours before a spacewalk. The suits are pressurized. This means that the suits are filled with oxygen.  \nOnce in their suits, astronauts breathe pure oxygen for a few hours. Breathing only oxygen gets rid of all the nitrogen in an astronaut's body. If they didn't get rid of the nitrogen, the astronauts might get gas bubbles in their body when they walked in space. These gas  \nbubbles can cause astronauts to feel pain in their shoulders,  \nelbows, wrists and knees. This  \npain is called getting \"the bends\" because it affects the  \nplaces where the body bends. Scuba divers can also get\"the bends.\"  \nGrade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nAstronauts are now ready to get out of their spacecraft. They leave the spacecraft through a special door called an airlock. The airlock has two doors. When astronauts are inside the spacecraft, the airlock is airtight so no air can get out. When astronauts get ready togo on a spacewalk, they go through the first door and lock it tight behind them. They can then open the second door without any air getting out of the spacecraft. After a spacewalk, astronauts go back inside through the airlock.  \nHow Do Astronauts Stay Safe During Spacewalks?  \nWhen on a spacewalk, astronauts use safety tethers to stay close to their spacecraft. Tethers are like ropes. One e nd is hooked to the spacewalker. The other end is connected to the vehicle. The safety tethers keep astronauts from floating away into space. Astronauts also use tethers to keep tools from floating away. They tether their tools to their spacesuits.  \nAnother way astronauts stay safe during spacewalks is by wearing a SAFER . SAFER stands for Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue. SAFER is worn  \nlike a backpack. It uses small jet thrusters to let an  \nastronaut move around in space. If  \nan astronaut were to become untethered and float away, SAFER would help him or her fly back to the spacecraft.  \nAstronauts control SAFER with a small joystick, like on a video game.  \nGrade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nHow Do","cbCaieOdBmqBgkWL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieOdBmqBgkWL","pdf",243364,"English","# Questions\n## Answers","[{\"question\":\"What is an EVA or spacewalk?\",\"answer\":\"An EVA, or spacewalk, is any time an astronaut gets out of a vehicle while in space.\"},{\"question\":\"Why do astronauts go on spacewalks?\",\"answer\":\"Astronauts go on spacewalks to work outside their spacecraft, run science experiments, test and repair equipment, and avoid bringing items back to Earth for repair.\"},{\"question\":\"How do astronauts stay safe during a spacewalk?\",\"answer\":\"They use safety tethers to stay close to their spacecraft and tools, and they wear SAFER, a backpack-like device with small jet thrusters for rescue if they become untethered.\"}]","Grade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet - Read the short story | PDF",1791773312,15]
