　　The Shenzhou V spacecraft is launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center(酒泉卫星发射中心)near the Gobi desert in western China. The launch center is China's first spacecraft launch base(发射基地). China's first satellite, the Dong Fang Hong, blasted off there in 1970 and so did the first four unmanned spaecrafts (无人飞船)since 1999.

　　Shenzhou V carries one kilo of plant seeds. Besides, handguns, knives and other defensive weapons(自卫武器)are also stored in the spaceship. These weapons can help the astronaut to deal with wild beasts and other dangerous animals or enemies if the spacecraft were to land somewhere else other than(而不是)the pre-selected area (事先指定的区域).

　　The astronaut can eat shredded pork with garlic sauce(蒜蓉肉酱)and kungpao chicken (宫爆鸡丁). After the meal, the astronaut can enjoy green tea.

　　The spacecraft first flies on an elliptical orbit(轨道).The orbital altitude ranges between a minimum of 200 kilometers and a maximum of 350 kilometers from the earth. The spacecraft then shifts to a circular orbit with an altitude of 343 kilometers. It circles in the orbit 14 times around the globe, or about 21 hours before landing in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia.

　　The manned space program's ultimate goal(最终目标)for China is to explore outer space(探索外层空间)and make a good use of the rich resources of space.

　　“The Shenzhou V is a step forward for all humankind. The historic mission(使命)will usher (引导)in new era (纪元)of international cooperation in the exploration and peaceful use of outer apace . ” Kofi Annan, UN Secretary-General said.

James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
"J.C., "he replied.
She thought he had said "Jesse", and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second?  year student in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games  in Berlin the next year,  and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African?American winners.
"It was all right with me, "he said years later."I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway."
Having returned from Berlin,  he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country,  either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens? Olympic victories  made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks,  motorcycles and dogs.
"Sure, it bothered me, "he said later." But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat."
In time,  however,  his gold medals changed his life."They have kept me alive over the years, "he once said. "Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard."
