current three-stage space program ends in the next dacade."When our manned space program is completed,
we will travel even further," Wang Zhaoyao, deputy head of China's manned space program office and
Shenzhou VII mission spokesman, told a briefing in Beijing three hours after China's third manned space
mission was successfully concluded yesterday.
"After comprehensively analyzing the general trend of the international development of manned space, as
well as realities in China, we see a manned lunar landing as a both challenging and tactical (策略的) field in
global hi-tech," he said.
"We believe it necessary for our country to do something in this field," Wang said.
He did not give a specific(具体的) date for a moon landing. Wang, however, said,"Experts believe this is
'very much needed' for research into relevant (closely connected) technologies to further China's achievements
in space."
The 68-hour Shenzhou VII mission featured a 25-minute spacewalk on Saturday.
It was broadcast live and watched by millions throughout the country. The crew's landing at a site in the
Inner Mongolia autonomous region was also carried live by national television.
The entire mission was pronounced a complete success.
Wang said the three astronauts, were transported to Hohhot, the region's capital, and would spend the
evening there.
"They will return to Beijing this morning," he said.
"During the course of the mission, Russian experts provided strong technical support for the EVA
spacesuits. The successful Sino-Russian cooperation for this flight created beneficial conditions for more
intensive cooperation between the two sides in the future," Wang said.
The mission's success has paved the way for completing the second stage of the program-building a space
station before 2020.
Before that, a space lab will be set up in 2010 with Shenzhou X, the country's next full-crew space journey.
B. 2010.
C. 2018.
D. No specific date.
B. There is a need for China to land on the moon.
C. It is very much needed to research space technologies to further China's space program.
D. International cooperation is necessary for China's landing on the moon.
B. China and Russia would like to cooperate in space program
C. China is a leading technological power now
D. Russia wants to benefit from China
B. Shenzhou X will Land on the Moon
C. China will Set up a Space Lab on the Moon
D. Landing on the Moon--the Next Target

The dream, however, is to grow things in greenhouses on the moon. “You’d grow things in liquid---there’s no reason why that wouldn’t work,” says Pillinger, a professor. This would mean floating plants in a nutrient-rich solution of water. “Soil is not a necessary thing for plants; it’s only to keep them standing upright,” Pillinger adds.
It would take at least a decade of experiments after the base was built before such a plan would work, however. The main problem is working out how to get nutrients from the lunar(月球的) soil. “Getting all that to work requires a minimum level of infrastructure(基础设施）present before you can start experimenting with greenhouses,” says Pillinger.
Finding strong plants to grow in space will also be hard, though scientists are already working on it: scientist Amy Grunden of
Water is a somewhat easier prospect(前景). One of the reasons that
