37-year-old spacewoman Wang Yaping made history — she is China’s first teacher in space.

Wang Yaping taught Chinese primary and middle school students on Earth physics problems in the zero-gravity environment (失重环境). She prepared for

the lecture for a long time.

Wang, born in January 1980, is from east China’s Shandong Province. She was a pilot in the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (空军) with experience of 1,600 hours of flying.

The world’s first teacher in space was Christa McAuliffe, a 37-year-old middle school teacher from the United States, but the Space Shuttle Challenger (挑战者号) disintegrated (崩裂) after 73 seconds into flight on Jan.28, 1986. McAuliffe and other six members were killed.

“Wang’s lecture was a pleasant surprise, ” said Zhang Xiaoguang, an

astronaut (宇航员) in the three members of Shenzhou-10 spacecraft. “She does well in whatever she does. Sometimes we’d like to give her a helping hand, but she just would not take the hand in help,” said Nie Haisheng.

Like many young Chinese people, Wang likes photography, music and basketball. She said, “We are all students in facing the universe (宇宙). We are looking forward to joining our young friends to learn and explore the mystical (神秘的) and beautiful universe.”

In many high schools, there are strict rules about using mobile phones.If your phone rings in class, for example, the teacher will be very angry.

Every mobile phone has a ringtone (铃声).It tells you that someone is calling you.Now, there is a ringtone called “mosquitotone (蚊子铃声)”.Using it, students can receive calls and text messages (短信) in class but the teacher will not realize what is happening.How?

Mosquitotone has a special sound.Only children and teenagers can hear it.As we get older, we are unable to hear some sounds with high frequencies (频率).As a result, a child or teenager can hear the mosquitotone ringtone, but someone of 20 or older can’t.

But sometimes, people over 20 can hear the ringtone.One British student’s phone uses mosquitotone.In class, the student’s phone rang.The 22-year-old teacher looked at the student and became unhappy.“I heard that.You know the rule:no mobile phone in class.”

Not all the students are interested in mosquitotone.Jerry Jones, a high school student of 17, says, “Using mosquitotone too often is bad for our hearing.I may use it for pleasure, but not in class.It’s unfair(不公平的) to the teachers!”

What do parents think of mosquitotone?“I think it is perfect for places like movie theaters, ” says Connie Neeson, 44.“Think about it.You’re watching a film and someone’s mobile phone rings.Mosquitotone is good because many people don’t hear it.However, it also has a bad influence(影响) on their study if students use it in class.”

My two little daughters and I usually go out and help others on Thankful Thursday. Last Thursday we were going to buy lunch for the beggars(乞丐)in the street. Then we went to the nearest McDonald’s. I ordered 15 lunches from it and drove my car to hand them out.

We gave the lunches to the beggars. They were excited. We were happy to see that.

Then we noticed a small, old woman, asking for pocket money. We gave her our last lunch bag. Before we got into the car, she started to speak to us, "No one has ever done anything like this for me before, "she said with a smile. "Well, I’m glad that we were the first, “I answered. "So, when will you eat your lunch," I asked.

She just looked at me with her big, tired brown eyes and said, "OH, dear, I'm not going to eat this lunch. You see, I have a little daughter .I usually can’t buy her favorite food, but today she will be so happy! "

I don't know if the kids noticed the tears in my eyes. I have asked many times whether our actions of kindness were too small to change anything. Yet at that moment, I realized the truth of words: "We cannot do great things —only small things with great love."
