题目内容

  In the United States children have a family name, or a last name, and a first name. Most also have a middle name. But not all the people name children in the same way.

  To name a baby, some parents begin by saying the names of the child's ancestors(祖先).The baby may smile or cry when their parents say an ancestor's name. The parents think that the ancestor is reborn(再生)in the baby. So they give the baby that name.

  Some people change their names. Navaho Indians(纳瓦伙族印第安人)change their names when they want new ones. The Navahos can use the mother's last name. They may want an English name. The Navahos do not think it important to keep the same name.

  In some parts of Africa, a baby's name is a secret. People there believe(认为)that the name is a part of the child. No strangers can know it.

  A long time ago, it was not easy to   1   around.Then we built ships.We made horses pull goods.We   2   bicycles, cars, trains and other means of transportation.We made all these things, so travelling became   3  

  But we did not stop there.We looked   4   in the sky and wanted to fly like birds.So we made hot air balloons and gliders.  5  , the Wright brothers built the first airplane about 100 years ago.Ever since then, travelling   6   even easier!

  But we still did not stop there.We looked up in the sky again and wanted to visit other planets.We wanted to know   7   the universe was like.We had   8   questions.We would not have any answers   9   we could travel in space.So we began trying.

    10   fifty years ago, both the U.S.and Russia wanted to be the first country   11   people to space.Russia won.In April of 1961, Russia sent a craft to space.Yuri Gagarin flew the craft.He became the first person to see the Earth from space.He circled   12   the Earth once.The flight   13   1 hour and 48 minutes.The following month, the U.S.sent its first craft to space.Alan Shepard flew the craft.He did not circle around the Earth.He was only in space   14   15 minutes.

  In the next several years, the U.S.and Russia continued the space race.

  Russia won many more times.For example, Russia sent the first woman to space in June of 1963.Two years   15  , Alexei Leonov from Russia became the first person to walk in space.

When I go to high school, I hope to get more education before anything else. I do think that high school is a big change for middle school students, and that we have a lot to learn. High school is also a very big place and there are more tasks for us to do.
