  New York Yankees relief pitcher Cory Lidle left the field during Game 4 of the American League Division Series playoff baseball game in Detroit, Michigan, on October 7, 2006.

  New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle was involved in a plane crash in New York on Wednesday afternoon.Lidle was onboard a small propeller plane that crashed into a high-rise apartment building.His flight instructor, Taylor Stanger, was also onboard the plane.Both men were killed in the crash.

  For many New Yorkers, the day was a fearful reminder of September 11, 2001, when planes crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg held a news conference soon after yesterday’s crash to announce that it was not a terrorist attack.Authorities have not determined which passenger was flying the plane.

  “It’s very tragic, ” Bloomberg said.“We have to say a little prayer for those we lost.” The world of Major League Baseball was shocked when news spread that Cory Lidle was involved in the crash.A Major League pitcher for nine years, Lidle had been a member of the Yankees since July.He pitched in a postseason game against the Detroit Tigers just a few days before the crash.

  “This is a terrible and shocking tragedy that has stunned the entire organization,” said George Steinbrenner, owner of the Yankees.

  Jason Giambi, a fellow Yankee, had known Lidle for years.The two were teammates on the Oakland Athletics and even played on the same team in high school.“Right now, I am really in a state of shock, ” Giambi wrote in a statement to the press.“We were excited to be reunited in New York this year, and I am just devastated to hear this news.” For many Yankee fans, Lidle’s plane crash brought back memories of Yankee catcher Thurman Munson’s death in a plane crash in 1979.

  The Flight

  Lidle and Stanger left a small airport in Teterboro, New Jersey, around 2∶30 p. m., on Wednesday.The plane circled the Statue of Liberty and then headed north up the East River, along the eastern shore of the island of Manhattan.The plane veered off its path as it approached East 72nd Street, crashing into the high-rise apartment building at about 2:45 p.m.Residents in and around the building said they heard a huge explosion.Many people saw large flames coming from the windows high above the street.Pieces of debris from the plane and the building fell to the street as the fire spread.Mayor Bloomberg said 11 firefighters were injured while fighting the fire.

It was not much bigger than a soccer ball and weighed less than 185 pounds. But 50 years ago, when the Russian satellite Sputnik successfully orbited the Earth, it made headlines around the world and marked the beginning of the race for space.

  The launch of the world's first artificial satellite on October 4, 1957 ignitedBefore Sputnik's launch, the US had plans to send its own satellites into space to study cosmic (宇宙的) rays and gravity, among other things. But the Russians struck first, leaving US scientists and ordinary citizens in shock. To make matters worse, the Russians successfully launched a second satellite less than one month later. This one was much larger, at 1,120 pounds. The Americans were more eager than ever to make their mark in space.

  Americans thought their time had finally come on December 6. But what was supposed to be a day to remember quickly turned into a disaster to forget. The US satellite Vanguard rose just four feet off the ground before its engine failed and it burst into flames. Finally, on January 31, 1958, the Americans had the reason to celebrate. The US satellite Explorer 1 blasted into space. During its voyage, it made one of the most significant scientific finds to date—the discovery of magnetic radiation belts around the Earth.

  As the consequence of Sputnik, American Congress passed the National Defense Education Act of 1958.The act was aimed at improving education in science, mathematics, and foreign languages. Congress also passed the National Aeronautics and Space Act on July 29, 1958. The federal legislation (立法) created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, most commonly known as NASA.Today, the United States and Russia are no longer in competition. In fact, NASA astronauts and Russian cosmonauts are working together and making important scientific discoveries aboard the International Space Station.

1.How can we conclude the first period of the space race between the US and Russia?

A.A Russian victory.       B.A close game.

C.An American honor.       D.A hard win for both.

2.The Russians successfully launched the first satellite________ earlier than the Americans.

A.nearly half a year       B.about two months

C.less than 100 days       D.more than 100 days

3.In 1958 American Congress passed two acts for fear that ________.

A.the US wouldn't get any help from the Soviet Union

B.the Soviet Union would cancel the offer in the competition

C.the Soviet Union would do better than the US in the space race

D.the US would be in want of research forces

4.The underlined word “ignited” here can be replaced by “________”.

A.prepared    B.caused    C.approved   D.compared
