Chinese space lover Wang Yuan has been chosen as one of the volunteers for the Mars-500 test project. 1. Another five volunteers are all space lovers. They are three Russians, an Italy-Colombian and a Frenchman. They will feel what it's like to travel to Mars without leaving the earth. During the whole process (过程), they are locked up for one and a half years under the condition which is similar to the red planet. So the experiment is called Mars-500.

2.Although the volunteers won’t leave the building, they will feel as if (好像) they are on a real trip to Mars. The most difficult thing is that they will be separated from the people outside. 3.

That will be hard. When reporters asked what they would miss most during the 500-day special life, Charles from France said, “For me, it will be mainly my family, the sun and fresh air.”

The main task is to study “Man and Environment”. It will care about the astronauts’ physical effects and the experience of staying there.

4.So they will have to make decisions by themselves and then report to the earth, and the earth will tell them whether they do the right thing or not.

A Famous Writer

In her speech to Harvard students in 2008, J.K.Rowling said, “…seven years after my graduation day, I had failed on an epic scale.”She went on to say that “by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew.”

It might surprise some readers to know which period of her life J.K.Rowling was talking about here. She is talking about her life when she was writing the first novel of the Harry Potter books. The idea came to her during a train ride in 1990. In December that year, her mother died. The next few years were difficult for her. In 1993, her first but short marriage ended. She didn’t have much money and life was not easy. As she said in that same speech, “That period of my life was a dark one and I had no idea that there was going to be…a kind of fairytale resolution.”

As we all know now, the Harry Potter books went on to become extremely successful and also made her very rich. So where does think this success came from? She thinks it is a direct result of her early failures. As she went on to say, “Failure meant I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that really mattered to me… I was set free. ”

Her Harry Potter series was completed with its final book in 2007. The books have become a very successful film series and three years after the final book was published, a Harry Potter theme park opened in the United States. She has written other books related to the Harry Potter series and her first book for adults was published in 2012. She has also remarried and now has three children.
