“I can't believe what I'm hearing!” I thought to myself. Jeff was the last candidate (候选人) for president of Students’ Union. My best friend Tony came to me and said, “I'm   1 , Mike. I really thought you should be   2 .”

Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the dining room. I offered him a polite “  3 ” and walked to my usual table. To my surprise, Jeff put his plate beside mine.
“I'm, er-I'm just wondering  4 you would…consider coming to work on my team,” he said  5 . “You are really smart, and you would be a great manager.”
“I don't think so,” I replied, feeling  6 .
“Well, if you change your mind, we are meeting tomorrow,” he said before moving to  7 table.
All that night, I thought about the offer from Jeff. Maybe being a part of the election process (选举过程)would give me a chance to make important changes at our school. I  8 to join them.
My first goal was to 9 an attractive advertisement. Within a few days, we designed a
 10 with Jeff's pictures showing him in a number of activities. No one could walk through any hallway without passing Jeff's smiling face.
My next step was to  11  which new activities students would like to have at our school. Many of them wanted a chess club and a volleyball team. With the information I had collected, Jeff met with the headmaster. The headmaster  12 to add these activities to our school program.
With my help, Jeff and our ideas were well received at school.
An eighth grader said, “It'll be like attending a new school with Jeff as president.”
Hearing these words made my heart filled with  13 . I had wanted to become president of Student Council to make a difference. I achieved that and more by working as a member of Jeff's team. He became the most popular candidate and I was a large part of his 14 . The fact that it has made a(n)  15 in other people's lives is the real prize. What a great feeling!

At 9 a.m. on October 15, 2003, our country launched (发射) its first manned (有人的) space-ship, Shenzhou V, into space at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Province. It took Yang Liwei and his spaceship about 21 hours to circle the earth 14 times. Yang Liwei is China’s first astronaut. He comes from Liaoning Province, and he has been an air force pilot(飞行员) since 1983. He was chosen from 14 pilots after many difficult tests.

The life of an astronaut is hard to imagine for many people. To put on a space suit takes 15 minutes with the help of others. Sleeping in space is not easy, either. He has to sleep in a special sleeping bag on the wall because there is no gravity. Yang can eat chicken and rice. It’s especially made to eat in space but it doesn’t taste nice.

“I’m feeling very good in space, and it looks wonderful here,” said Yang, “I have looked at our beautiful earth and I have recorded all that I have seen here.”

China has become the third country in the world to send a person into space after the former Soviet Union(前苏联) and the United States. China is now planning its next launch.
