A Giant Leap for China

　　A few days ago, he was just Colonel(上校)Yang; few people knew his name or recognized his face．But last Thursday, when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space, Yang Liwei’s smile was seen across the world above the magic words：“China’s first spaceman”．

　　The 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9 a. m．Last Wednesday by China’s Shenzhou Ⅴ spacecraft, which orbited the earth 14 times．He landed safely at 6∶23 a. m．The next day, making China the third country successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the US．

　　Yang was satisfied with his job．“I have seen many landing scenes before on video, and I think ours was one of the most successful, ”He said on a special plane to Beijing after landing．Born into an ordinary family in Liaoning Province, he became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force in 1987, spending 1350 hours in the air．He joined the Chinese space programme 11 years later．

　　While in space, Yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing China’s national flag and the United Nations’ flag to the people watching on TV at home．He also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice, before taking a 3-hour nap．The whole project went according to plan, but space exploration is not as easy as it seems．

　　Anyone who saw the destruction of the US space shuttle Columbia in February this year will know that Yang took a great risk．

　　He experienced extremely high temperatures, while the gravitation(重力)on take-off and landing were strong enough to force tears from his eyes．

　　He has spent five years training to become a spaceman．

　　“I eat all of my meals at the space programme’s dinning room and have never been able to take my son to kindergarten, ”he said．“I’ve never met his teachers．”

　　But becoming China’s first spaceman has made all the effort worthwhile．

　　“When I boarded the spacecraft for the first time, I couldn’t help feeling excited,” he said．“I decided that I had to fly it．”

　　To Chinese people, Yang is now a hero．One visitor to a Xinhua news agency online forum(网上论坛)said, “Yang’s trip is a giant leap forward for China．”

　　Officials say the next Shenzhou will be launched by 2005．China also plans to develop spacewalking and a space lab．

A question of good manners

　　The English are proud of their well-mannered and courteous(有礼貌的) behaviors．After living in London for many years, I have found the answer to how they became that way．

　　I remember clearly, when I was at primary school, I was taught good manners before anything else!

　　“Please”and“Thank you”were the most common words in the manners class．There was even a reward(奖励)system where the politest child would receive a badge(奖章)every week for being nice to the rest of the class．

　　As I grew older, I was given“physical and social health”lessons．These were used to teach teenagers how to behave in the adult world．They taught us how to deal with issues(问题)like money, responsibility(责任)，and relationships with other people．This helped us to grow into better people．In a way, the lessons taught us how to be more polite．

　　One of the topics that came up in these lessons was the issue of the“dreaded”(可怕的)opposite sex．I remember how all the boys giggled(咯咯笑)and laughed at the very thought of having a girlfriend or even speaking to one．The teachers soon taught us(boys)to respect the girls in our class and treat them with dignity(尊严)．No doubt this advice helped us in later life－it made sure that all the boys were courteous to women．My friends have used this information to help their social lives successfully．

　　I feel that being good mannered has become a part of English culture．Their good manners even attract tourists from all around the world!Many of them flock(大量涌入)to see the Queen’s Guards at Buckingham Palace(白金汉宫)，who are famous for being polite and professional．

(1)

Why are the English well-mannered and courteous according to the writer?

[　　]

A．

C．

It is one of the customs of their country．

D．

Their leader is the Queen．

(2)

Which is not the words that is used by the English more commonly?

[　　]

A．

Please．

B．

Thank you．

C．

Excuse me．

D．

Hi, guy!

(3)

How does the writer like the advice from his teacher to respect the girls with dignity in his class?

[　　]

A．

He laughs at it．

B．

He hates to do that even to talk with them．

C．

He thinks it will be helpful in his future life．

D．

He is shy to do so．

A Train Floating On Air

　　A train that floats on air? It's not magic－it's magnets(磁)．And it's close to reality．

　　In Virginia USA the fall of 2002, a train with no wheels traveled on air and carried college students across their campus．In Japan, a whisper-quiet railway engine hovered and raced at 350 miles per hour using magnets and electricity as the power．And in China, a magnet train line linked Shanghai with nearby Pudong Airport．

　　These trains use magnetic levitation(悬浮)technology, “maglev” for short．They use the same rules as the magnets you pick up at home or school：opposite poles of magnets attract each other, and like poles repel each other．

　　How does it work?

　　Powerful magnets on the bottom of train repel magnets on the track, which is actually just a magnet-filled guiding way．With a magnetic field of sufficient force, the train will go hovering on air, which seemed impossible to us in the past．

　　When an electrical current is sent through the track, the train moves．Turn the current backwards and the train slows down．

　　Maglev doesn't rely on the friction(摩擦力)of wheels on track, so it can climb a much steeper hill than a traditional train．And it can travel easily in snow and ice, something that could bring normal trains to a screaming stop．

(1)

This passage is about ________．

[　　]

A．

maglev

B．

magnets

C．

levitation

D．

electricity

(2)

Which of the following is a repelling action?

[　　]

A．

B．

C．

D．

(3)

What can we learn from the text?

[　　]

A．

A magnet-filled guiding way is formed inside a maglev train．

B．

Instead of electricity, magnets are used as the power of a maglev．

C．

Maglev trains can climb hills with the help of magnet wheels．

D．

Electric currents decide the movements of a maglev train．

(4)

What is the difference between a maglev train and an ordinary train?

[　　]

A．

A maglev train can climb mountains without power while an ordinary one can't．

B．

A maglev train can travel in college campus while an ordinary train is not allowed．

C．

Travelling without a track, a maglev train is safer and smoother than an ordinary one．

D．

Floating on a track, a maglev train is faster, quieter than an ordinary, railway train．

A

When some plates of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. In fact, earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. They often happen near mountains.

During an earthquake, the shakings make rocks rise suddenly and even crack（断裂）open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt, and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed.

Can we do something to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show“earthquake belts（带）”. In these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we can build strong houses to fight against earthquakes.

In the future, scientists will be able to predict exactly（精确预报）when and where an earthquake will happen. They can also tell people what to do and how to do it.

1. It is said a large number of earthquakes often happen         .

A. next to mountains     B. in the day time   C. on land    D. at night

2. In the future we’ll be no longer so afraid of an earthquake       .

A. because of a map showing the“earthquake belts”

B. because we can guess the date and place of an earthquake

C. as scientists will know what to do and how to do it

D. both B and C

3. Which is the best title of the passage?

A. A Scientist and an Earthquake  B. An Earthquake

C. How to Fight against Earthquake     D. Earthquakes Today and Tomorrow
