查看习题详情和答案>>A few days ago, he was just Colonel(上校) Yang; few people knew his name or recognized his face. But
last Thursday, when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space, Yang Liwei's smile was seen
across the world above the magic words:"China's first spaceman".
The 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9 a.m. Last Wednesday by China's Shenzhou Ⅴ
spacecraft, which orbited the earth 14 times. He landed safely at 6:23 a.m. The next day, making China the
third country successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the US.
Yang was satisfied with his job."I have seen many landing scenes before on video, and I think ours was
one of the most successful," He said on a special plane to Beijing after landing. Born into an ordinary family in
Liaoning Province, he became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force in 1987,spending 1350 hours in the air. He joined
the Chinese space programme 11 years later.
While in space, Yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing China's national flag and the United
Nations' flag to the people watching on TV at home. He also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice, before
taking a 3-hour nap. The whole project went according to plan, but space exploration is not as easy as it seems.
Anyone who saw the destruction of the US space shuttle Columbia in February this year will know that
Yang took a great risk.
He experienced extremely high temperatures, while the gravitation (重力) on take-off and landing were
strong enough to force tears from his eyes.
He has spent five years training to become a spaceman.
"I eat all of my meals at the space programme's dinning room and have never been able to take my son to
kindergarten," he said."I've never met his teachers."
But becoming China's first spaceman has made all the effort worthwhile. "When I boarded the spacecraft
for the first time,I couldn't help feeling excited," he said."I decided that I had to fly it."
To Chinese people, Yang is now a hero. One visitor to a Xinhua news agency online forum(网上论坛)said,
"Yang's trip is a giant leap forward for China."
Officials say the next Shenzhou will be launched by 2005.China also plans to develop spacewalking and a
space lab.
B. A hero with great courage.
C. The first Chinese man in space.
D. How Yang Liwei became China's first spaceman.
B. 1.5 hours.
C. 6 hours.
D. The story didn't mention it.
B. Because it was a very special experience.
C. To stress how much training he had to do to prepare for the flight.
D. To show that Yang is brave.
B. Because Neil Armstrong said it was a"giant leap" for mankind when he first set foot on the moon.
