I've been a student reporter for more than two years. And it is hard work. But it's more than that. Sometimes I get to do really cool things. When Yang Liwei went to Shanghai Science Museum last October, it was my job to interview him. Hu Mengdie met Yang Liwei at the Shanghai Science Museum. But when I got there, there were so many people!  I thought there were a thousand other reporters trying to talk to Yang.

    When Yang came closer to me, I tried to ask him some questions.  "Was it cool to go into space?" I said. There were too many people. And they were talking so loudly that he couldn't hear me. But he was so close!  I wanted to remember that day. I put out my hand to him and shouted, "Uncle Yang, could I have your autograph?" I tried my best to give my pen to him, and he took it!

    But because there were too many people, I was soon pushed away.

    He smiled (微笑) at me and said, "I'm sorry, there are too many people." I tried to ask again, but a policeman pushed me away.

    After I tried six times, Uncle Yang finally saw me. He told everyone else, "This little girl has been here for a long time. Her pen is still in my hand, so I should sign (签名) something for her first."

When I held Yang's autograph in my hands, I was so excited. And when I looked up, he smiled at me again. Whenever I look at that piece of paper, I'll always remember his smile.

Having lived in California until 1970，my family has felt a number of earthquakes.We have been fortunate，however，to have suffered no bodily harm or property damage.

There is a website that lists all California earthquakes recorded from 1769 to the present.The site lists the dates and times as well as the magnitude (震级) and the exact location of any quake that measured more than 6.0.There are only a few quakes that stand out in my memory and，luckily，none is shown in the website.So，my personal experience with earthquakes might be considered insignificant.

There are three earthquakes that are difficult to forget.The first one was in 1955 and our oldest daughter was walking with me in our backyard in Redwood City in California.As the shaking became stronger I held her to me with one arm as I held on to one of our fruit trees with the other.All three of us (my daughter，I and the tree) shook for two or three minutes that to us felt like hours.

The second one was in 1963.Our entire family was visiting Disneyland in Southern California.The earth started to shake just as we were beginning to walk from our hotel toward the_famous_landmark.

My third experience with an earthquake was a lonely one in California.It was in my sixties and I was alone in an old church.As the building started to shake，I quickly headed for the door to go outside.I remember I said a little prayer—something like，“Help me get out of here in time，Dear Heavenly Father”．Minutes later，I was safe outside.
