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.

Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news of their country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.
Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news to print？ Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?
Firstly, it’s important to report news. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories from those on TV.
Secondly, a new story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories of everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print stories about plane accidents.
Another factor(因素) is also very important. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.
