China's first astronaut 38-year-old Yang Liwei returned safely to earth Thursday morning, when his craft Shenzhou 5 touched down as scheduled after more than 21 hours in the earth's orbit. Chinese premier Wen Jiabao called the landmark debut flight a“complete success”. The descent capsule（返回舱）carrying Lt. Col. Yang Liwei touched down on the grasslands of the Gobi Desert, in central Inner Mongolia at 6∶23 am Thursday（Beijing Time）, the Beijing-based China's Aerospace Command and Control Center said. Minutes later, Yang grabbed the capsule hatch with his hand, pulled himself out, smiled and waved at recovery teams and reporters.“It is a splendid moment in the history of my motherland and also the greatest day of my life,”Yang, a former fighter pilot from Northeast China's Liaoning Province, said immediately after emerging. In an interview with CCTV, China's state television, Yang said he was“feeling excellent”. Shenzhou 5 landed at dawn, 4.8 kilometres（3 miles）from its designed landing target, the officials said.“The spaceship operated well,”the astronaut Yang Liwei said in his first publicized comments.“I feel very good and I am proud of my motherland.”After a physical exam on spot, Yang's condition was found as “good.”Li Jinai, the commander of China's manned space program, called Yang a“space hero”and a“national hero”. Following Yang's touchdown, China's premier Wen Jiabao immediately spoke to Yang from Beijing's command and control centre and offered his congratulations.
Within hours, Chinese space officials announced that the country's space dreams will continue with a“Shenzhou 6”mission, most possibly within a year. They said China also had worked out plans to conduct space walking by its astronauts, and eventually build up a space station. However, Chinese scientists ruled out building a space shuttle, like the United States.
Yang's flight came four decades after the former Soviet Union and the United States pioneered manned spaceflight. Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth in April 1961. One month later, the United States launched Alan B. Shepard Jr.
（1）What is true of the first Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei?
[ ]
A. He is now a flight pilot.
B. He was helped to get out of the descent capsule.
C. He spent nearly a day in space.
D. He was called a“space hero”and a“national hero”by China's premier Wen Jiabao.
（2）China will carry out the following space programs in the near future except ________.
[ ]
A. space walking
B. setting up a space station
C. building up a space shuttle
D. sending up“Shenzhou 6”
（3）The underlined word debut means ________.
[ ]
A. first public appearance
B. space
C. carrying person
D. spaceship
（4）Which of the following is NOT true?
[ ]
A. Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was the first man in the world to travel in space.
B. The United States launched Alan B. Shepard Jr. about 40 years ago.
C. China is the third country in the world to carry out the manned space flight successfully.
D.“Shenzhou 6”will carry more than one astronaut in the mission.

It’s not only rocket scientists and journalists who are following the course of “Shenzhou V”, or “Divine ship/vessel V”．There are also lexicographers, or dictionary compilers．The flight of the Spacecraft last week might help put some new words into orbit．
One of them is a western media coinage used to refer to the Chinese astronauts．It s a combination of the Chinese pinyin “taikong”, meaning space, and the English “astronaut”, from classical Greek：“star sailor/navigator”, for people who was going into space as a career．
In the Reuters and AP reports of October 15,“taikonaut” was used as a proper noun．For example：The long March 2F rocket carrying “taikonaut” Yang Liwei lifted off into a clear blue sky over the Gobi desert at 9 am and entered its orbit 10 minutes later．
A Long March 2F rocket called the Shenzhou V－“divine ship” in Chinese－carried a single “taikonaut” named Yang Liwei,38,following Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin and American Alan Shepard in 1961．
The word “taikonaut” is not a newly coined term．It first emerged in November,1999,when China launched its first unmanned “Shenzhou Ⅰ” spacecraft．
At that lime, some English news media predicted that China would soon launch a manned space flight and created the word “taikonaut” for the Chinese astronauts．It was then borrowed by the Germans media．
But it was left out of mainstream dictionaries, such as the Merriam－Webster Dictionary and Cambridge Advanced English
Learner’s Dictionary．
However, the launch of the “Shenzhou V” will most likely help boost its status since there is already a word referring specifically to Russian astronauts in the dictionary entry．
An astronaut of Russian(or the former Soviet Union)is called a “cosmonaut”, from the Russian “kosmonaut”．The word was derived from classical Greek：“kosmonaut”(universal)and “nautes”．One might argue that “cosmonaut” is a Russian variation on the earlier word “astronaut”．
On March 14,1995,US astronaut Norman Thagard became the first American to ride into space on-board a Russian launch vehicle, arguably making him the first American cosmonaut．
And if this trend of coinage continues, more English variations for astronaut will appear as more countries are able to send their own astronauts into outer space, what would Western journalists call an astronaut from India or Africa we’ll have to wait to see．
1．Give the best title of the passage．(within 10 words)
2．What is the influence to the dictionalry result after the launch of the “Shenzhou V” spacecraft？(within 15 words)
3．The reason why there will be more variations for the word “astronauts” is that．
4．The underlined word “coinage” means．
