  话题链接:China's First Spaceman Yang Liwe

  With a Long March-II-F carrier rocket(运载火箭)pushing Shenzhou Ⅴ into the orbit some 300 kilometers away from the Earth Wednesday morning, Yang Liwei, 38, turns out to be China's first astronaut in space.

  At 9 am Wednesday(Beijing time), Yang, aboard Shenzhou Ⅴ white in color, took off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on the Gobi desert in northwest China's Gansu province.

  He is expected to land somewhere on central Inner Mongolia grassland at 7 a.m.Thursday, after orbiting the earth 14 times.Yang will be traveling some 500 000 kilometers in space in 21 hours, a “traveler's record” in the world's most populous nation with a 5000-year-old civilization(文明).

  When Shenzhou-5 entered orbit on schedule, the ground command center received a message sent by Yang from outer space, saying that “everything goes smoothly”.His name, however, had remained unknown until 5 am Wednesday.At 5 am sharp Wednesday, Yang was seen waving his hands to a group of journalists from inside a glass-shielded(有防护玻璃的)room at the Jiuquan launch center, with two other astronauts sitting beside him as “backups”.Yang, who looked calm, found himself in a shower of camera flashlights.He responded with a broad smile.

  In an exclusive(高级)interview with Xinhua, Yang expressed full confidence in China's first manned space flight.

  Su Shuangning, director-general and chief designer of the astronaut system under China's manned space program, described Yang as a sober-minded(沉着冷静的)person with a “superb capability of self-control”.

  While a fighter pilot, Yang had 1350 hours of flight experience.He was chosen, along with 13 others, from among 1500 pilots for space flight training.Yang's colleagues described him as a man with a good team spirit, a man of dedication(奉献) to his career.Friends at his hometown, Suizhong County of northeast China's Liaoning Province, remember that Yang had dreamed of flying when still a child.Yang was recruited(招募)by the No.2 Aviation College of the PLA Air Force in September 1983 and became a fighter pilot after graduation with bachelor's degree.In 1998, Yang became a member of China's first team of astronauts.Yang, 168 cm tall, is a lieutenant colonel.He has an eight-year-old son, and his wife, Zhang Yumei, also serves in China's space program.

  According to Su Shuangning, China's first team of astronauts are all capable of working and living in space thanks to five years of rigid(严格的)physical, psychological and technical training.He said that Yang Liwei was one of the best in the team.

  In an Astronaut Training Base in Beijing, China's would-be astronauts had lessons necessary for space flight, including aviation dynamics, air dynamics, geophysics, meteorology, astronomy, space navigation, design principle and structure of rockets and spacecraft, as well as equipment examination.Moreover, they received systematic(系统的)training in space flight in simulators(模拟器).

  “To establish myself as a qualified astronaut, I have studied harder than in my college years and have received training much tougher than for a fighter pilot, ” said Yang.

  If the spaceship's re-entry module(模块)could not land at the pre-set areas and the recovery team could not rush to the spot on time, the astronaut must act for self-rescue.“Therefore, survival skills have become one of the most important knowledge for the astronauts to grasp, ”said Su Shuangning.“Through rigorous(严酷的)training, our astronauts have learned how to survive under extreme conditions.”Twenty-five days before the launch of Shenzhou-5, the would-be astronauts started exercising in the real spacecraft at the Jiuquan Launch Center.

  “When I boarded the spacecraft for the first time, I couldn't help feeling excited, ” Yang recalled.“I decided that I must fly it.”

  At 6∶15 a.m.Wednesday, Yang got seated in the re-entry module of Shenzhou-5, atop a 58.3-meter-high Long March-II-F carrier rocket.Between 1999 and 2002, Long March-II-F carrier rockets were used to launch four unmanned spacecraft into orbit, and all the launches were successful.

想一想:After reading the passage, what made him become successful?What can you learn from him?

Using a Mobile Phone to Improve Mother and Child Health

People around the world are working to expand the uses for mobile technology in health care.

请阅读下面一篇文章,并按照要求匹配信息。

Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror.    1   .

Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance.     2   . You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.

So, what can you do to develop a positive body image? Here are some ideas:

Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport.

Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting.      3   .

Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques (体形) don’t just happen.     4   . A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to one hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.

Respect your body! Practicing good habits --- regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on --- can help you build a positive body image.

   5     . Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧), and all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.

A.Use this as an opportunity to discover what you’re good at.

B.Be yourself.

C.They care just as much as girls do about their body image.

D.Just explore talents that you feel good about.

E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.

Monty Roberts, owner of a horse ranch (牧场) in San Ysidro, once told us a story. “When a young man was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to   36   and do when he grew up. In his seven-page paper he described his   37   of someday owning a horse ranch. He drew a   38   floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would   39   on a 200-acre dream ranch. Two days later he received his   40   back. On the front page was a   41   red F. The teacher said, ‘This is an   42   dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.’ Then the teacher   43  , ‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your   44   .’ The boy asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own   45   on this. However, I think it is a very

  46   decision for you.’   47  , after a week, the boy   48   the same paper, making no   49   at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my   50  .’ Monty then turned to us and said, “I tell you this story   51   you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch.
