Rockets(火箭)can fly far out into space.Rockets with men inside them have already reached the moon in the USA and Russia.Several rockets without men inside them have been sent to other worlds much farther away.On Nov.7, 2007, China’s first lunar probe, Chang’e I, successfully has completed its 1,580,000 km flying journey to the moon.
I am sure that you are asking ‘How does a rocket fly?’ If you want to know, get a balloon and then blow it up, until it is quite big.Do not tie up the neck of the balloon, let it go.The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly.The air inside the balloon tries to get out.It rushes out through the neck of the balloon and this pushes the balloon through the air.
This is how a rocket works.Of course, the rocket is made of metal.The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong.There is gas inside the rocket, which is made very hot.When itrushes out of the end of the rocket, the rocket is pushed up into the air.The jet velocity(喷射速度)is always faster than the flying speed.
We’re sure that one day rockets with man may be able to go anywhere in space.

At 9 a.m.on October 15, 2003, our country launched(发射)its first manned(有人的)space-ship, Shenzhou Ⅴ, into space at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Province.It took Yang Liwei and his spaceship about 21 hours to circle the earth 14 times.Yang Liwei is China’s first astronaut.He comes from Liaoning Province, and he has been an air force pilot(飞行员)since 1983.He was chosen from 14 pilots after many difficult tests.
The life of an astronaut is hard to imagine for many people.To put on a space suit takes 15 minutes with the help of others.Sleeping in space is not easy, either.He has to sleep in a special sleeping bag on the wall because there is no gravity.Yang can eat chicken and rice.It’s especially made to eat in space but it doesn’t taste nice.
“I’m feeling very good in space, and it looks wonderful here,” said Yang, “I have looked at our beautiful earth and I have recorded all that I have seen here.”
China has become the third country in the world to send a person into space after the former Soviet Union(前苏联)and the United States.China is now planning its next launch.Shenzhou VI will be into space within(在……之内)the next years, it may take three astronauts.We are all proud of our motherland.
