The spaceship flew around the new planet several times. The planet was blue and green. They couldn’t see the surface of the planet because there were too many white clouds. The spaceship descended slowly through the clouds and landed in the middle of a green forest. The two astronauts put on their space suits, opened the door, climbed carefully down the ladder, and stepped onto the planet. The woman looked at a small control unit on her arm. "It’ s all right," she said to the man. "We can breathe the air... it’ s a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen. " Both of them took off their helmets and breathed deeply.They looked at everything carefully. All the plants and animals looked new and strange. They could not find any intelligent life. How many astronauts are there in the spaceship（）

阅读理解二Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. Carly Fiorina, Hewlett-Packard’s chief executive, came out fighting on November 14th. In a conference call with analysts, she announced better-than-expected quarterly results, even though profits were down. Ms Fiorina also reiterated why she believes her $24 billion plan to acquire Compaq is the best way forward for HP, despite objections by Hewlett and Packard family members. Last week Walter Hewlett, whose father co-founded the company, expressed concern that the merger would increase HP’s exposure to the shrinking PC market and would distract managers from the more important task of navigating through the recession. There are two ways to defend the deal. One is to point out its advantages, which is what Ms Fiorina did this week. Merging with Compaq, she said, would enable HP to reach its goals faster than it could on its own. The deal would improve HP’s position in key markets such as storage and high-end computing, as well as the economics of its PC business. It would double the size of HP’s sales force and broaden its customer base, providing more potential clients for its services and consulting arms. It would improve cashflow, margins and efficiency by adding "breadth and depth" to HP. "Having spent the last several months planning the integration of these two companies, we are even more convinced of the power of this combination," Ms Fiorina concluded. It sounds too good to be true, and it almost certainly is. But the other way to defend the deal is to point out that, even if it was a bad idea to start with, abandoning it could be even worse—a view that, unsurprisingly, Ms Fiorina chose not to advance, but is being quietly put forward by the deal’s supporters. Scrapping the merger would be extremely painful for a number of reasons. Since the executive teams of both firms have committed themselves to the deal, they would be utterly discredited if it fell apart, and would probably have to go. Under the terms of the merger agreement, HP might have to pay Compaq as much as $675m if it backed out. The two firms would be considerably weakened; they would also be rivals again, despite having shared confidential technical and marketing information with each other over the past few months. In short, it would all be horribly messy. What can be done to save the deal Part of the problem is that HP has no plan B. "They need a brand-recovery effort immediately," says one industry analyst. HP must give the impression that it is strong and vital, rather than desperate, and that its future is not dependent on the deal going forward. That could make the merger look more attractive and bring investors back on board. This week’s results will certainly help. The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, which owns just over one-tenth of HP’s shares, will decide whether to back the merger in the next few weeks, and HP’s shareholders are to vote on it early next year. The more credible HP’s plan B, the less likely it is that it will be needed. The expression "The more credible HP’s plan B, the less likely it is that it will be needed." most probably indicates______.

The wide spread of the photographic industry has led to a greater demand for skilled technicians in darkrooms and photographic laboratories. However," qualified workers are hard to find, because not many people seem to be attracted to this kind of work. Some people like to take pictures during their holidays, but they seldom produce their pictures all by themselves-that is the work of a photographic technician. Although it may not be easy to spend a full working day in the darkroom, it can be very satisfying to produce carefully processed photographs. Especially, if one can produce a very good photograph of high quality, his sense of achievement is gained.Besides achieving job satisfaction, the photo technician can move on into production if he or she desires. For instance, the technician may choose to learn related skills such as photo restoration or photo retouching. Of course, these will make photo production more like an art, and it is not easy to become skilled in these kinds of work.Although it is a good idea to seek classroom theory and technical knowledge, the individual interested in becoming a darkroom technician will learn the most by actually working in a photographic laboratory. The use of photography in research and development is increasing; therefore, the need for more technicians will undoubtedly increase. If you’ re satisfied with the photos you processed,（）
