A few days ago, few people knew his name or 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.

　　The 38-year-old astronaut (宇航员) was sent into space at 9:00 am, last Wednesday by China's Shenzhou V Spaceship, and it travelled round the earth 14 times. He landed safely at 6:23 am, the next day. That made China the third country to successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the USA.

　　Yang was pleased with his job. “I have seen many landing scenes ever before on video tapes, and I think ours was one of the most successful,” he said on a special plane to Beijing after landing.

　　Anybody who saw the breaking-up of the US space plane named Columbia in February of 2003 knew that Yang was in great danger.

　　Yang experienced very high temperature, while the gravitational forces (地心引力) on taking off and landing were strong enough to make tears from his eyes.

　　He has spent five years training to become a spaceman after 1350 hours' flying in the air. Although it was hard work, Yang loved it. Yang's success was well worth all the hard work. Yang has become China's first spaceman.

Prana was a beautiful dog, whose name means “breath of life”. Although he died several years ago, I can still remember the days we spent together and what he has taught me about love.

I have two apple trees in the garden. Prana loved apples. When he went outside, he’d catch an apple and take it into the house to eat later. The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasn’t always happy that Prana had brought them into the house.

It was an autumn day in America, but it was very cold. A big snow fell and we had not done anything for its coming. On that special day, Prana went outside and I watched him through the window. I noticed that he was madly digging(挖) holes and bringing the apples to the ground so they could be seen above the snow. I did not know why he was doing this. He seemed to want to do something special.

When I called him back, he had his usual one apple in his mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside. The garden was completely covered with birds. Prana had dug up all those apples for his bird friends to eat. He knew that they wouldn’t have stored enough food for the coming winter!
