kind of container would hold the insects? Would the insects die during the shuttle flight? After months of hard work, the “insectronauts” were chosen. A group of moths, flies, and honeybees were put into special box and put onto the space shuttle. When Columbia flew into space, it was carrying insect passengers. On March 24, astronauts Gordon Fullerton and Jack Lousma took out the box that held the insects. They began filming the insects with a special video camera. When the space shuttle landed Ted was able to watch the video film of insects. Just as he thought, most of the insects did have trouble flying in zero gravity. The flies did well. But the moths’ flight seemed “uncontrolled”. They would often just hang in the air. The bees had the most trouble. They couldn’t fly at all! The film showed bees spinning(旋轉(zhuǎn) ) around in all directions. Others were just floating about in the box. Ted learned the answer to his question about insects’ flight in zero gravity. But he also learned a lot more. He learned about the hard work needed in making a successful experiment. 31. What does the underlined sentence “it was a winner” mean? A. Ted could fly in space. B.
