During my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany's mom.
Tiffany's mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food.
Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn't give me much
pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was annoyed with her.
Whenever I didn't get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany's mom would give her
that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my mom would calmly say "Poor Tiffany". I couldn't
understand her. "She shouldn't be feeling sorry for Tiffany!" I thought, "She should be feeling sorry for
me."
One day, I couldn't help saying to Mom, "Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she
wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?" I burst into tears.
My mom sat down next to me and said softly, "Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you
a lesson that she will never be taught."
I looked up at her, "What are you talking about?"
Mom said with care, "One day she will really want something. Maybe she'll find out that she can't
have it. Her mother won't always be around to give her money, and what's more, money can't buy
everything."
She continued, "I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You'll
know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won't. You'll understand that you need to
work hard to get the things that you want but she won't. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she'll wake
up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you've got. Life lessons are more
important than modern clothes and delicious food."
It took some time, but I eventually understood my mom's words. Now I am a happy and successful
woman.

The majority of astronauts from America have been men. At the start of the space programme there was
strong resistance from some people against having women in space. However, some women were very keen
to become astronauts and in the end they were successful. In 1978, NASA began the first training programme
for women astronauts.
Judy Resnick and Christa McAuliffe were both astronauts and they were both women, but in many other
ways they were very different. Both of them were on Flight STS-5L-L. Judy Resnick was born in 1949 and
studied engineering at university and went on to obtain a PhD in 1977. She was a member of the first group
of women selected for astronaut training in 1978, and in 1984, she became the second woman in space.
During that flight, she helped to launch three new satellites and she carried out a programme of research. She
was, in many ways, a professional astronaut whose whole life was devoted to space travel.
Christa McAuliffe was born in 1948 and she was an astronaut almost by accident. In 1984, NASA decided
to find a teacher who could accompany (go with sb. esp. on a journey ) astronauts into space. They hoped
that she would be able to communicate with students from space and encourage every one of them to be
interested in space travel. Christa was a secondary teacher in history and social studies. She was a gifted
teacher and she was selected from over 11,000 applicants to go on flight STS-51-L. She was also a very good
communicator and she immediately established (set up) a very good relationship with the news media (radio,
television and newspapers). It was partly because of this that there was a great deal of interest and excitement
about the flight. Thousands of students in schools and universities all around the country were looking forward
to communicating with Christa in space. Millions of people were watching her flight with great interest. It is
partly because of the excitement over McAuliffe's place in the flight that the disaster in 1986 had such an effect
on people.
