题目

阅读理解 On November 19, Peggy Whitson, along with Oleg Novitskiy and Thomas Pesquet, landed on the International Space Station(ISS). In doing so. America's most experienced female astronaut(宇航员) became the oldest woman in space, breaking the record set by Barbara Morgan who reached the ISS at 55. Whitson, who has already spent many days in space, is no stranger to records. She was the first female pilot(飞行员) to serve as chief of the astronaut office at the Johnson Space Centre and the first woman to command the ISS in 2007—2008. She will set another first when she takes the ISS lead again this time. Besides, Whitson's latest six month stay at the ISS will push her beyond 534 days in space, breaking the US record set in September by 58-year-old Jeffrey Williams. Also, her six spacewalks, totaling 39 hours, 46 minutes, are second only to fellow US astronaut Sunita Williams, who has done seven spacewalks, totaling 50 hours, 40 minutes. Whitson celebrated her 57th birthday while still on the ISS. The great woman who will have spent nearly a year and a half of her life in zero gravity when she returns to the earth, believes her age and experience make this task easier. That's because she knows what to expect on a space flight and how to deal with the urgency of tasks on the ISS. While Whitson is the oldest female in spaces she is not the oldest astronaut. That honour belongs to John Glenn, the first American to travel round the earth. In 1988, at the age of 77, he also became the oldest man in space. （1） What can we learn about Peggy Whitson? A .
