　　Want to be an astronaut? Then“study hard, stay healthy and have perseverance”!This is what Chinese astronauts Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng said in a talk with some students．

　　Students were interested in the astronauts' space lives．They asked questions like“Did you see the Great Wall from space?”Fei and Nie said they didn't see the Great Wall．But they felt excited when they pass over China, including Taiwan．The island“looked very beautiful, like a jade”．

　　Speaking their lives beyond the earth, the two astronauts said cooperation with each other was most important．“We are the left and right hands”, they said．Young people wanted to know how the astronauts developed their careers．

　　“How did you decide to be astronauts when China's space industry is still at the beginning?”asked a young woman．The astronauts said it was because of their love of flight and also the need of the country．

　　They said their love of flight could be seen from their children's names．Nie's daughter is called“Nie Tianxiang”, which means“flying up high”．Fei's son is called“Fei Di”, which sounds like“Feidie”, meaning UFO．

　　After the success of Shenzhou VI, China plans to put a man on the moon and build a space station in 10－15 years．

Spinach Power

It’s the spinach (菠菜)! The sailor opens the can and eats it. Then things change very quickly!

He grows very tall and strong. His muscles (肌肉) come out. No one can beat him now. This is Popeye the sailor. Now the cartoons of the sailor and his spinach are on show in the Museum of Television and Radio in New York. It’s for Popeye’s seventy?fifth birthday.

“There are few characters (角色) that are so old and still loved by people,” said Barry Monush, from the show. Popeye loves a very thin and tall girl, Olive Oyl. She often gets into trouble. But Popeye is the one to save her!

Most kids have watched this cartoon on TV. Mum says spinach is good, but kids only begin to like it because of the sailor! Who can forget his face with its large chin (下巴) and almost closed right eye? Popeye always wins. He’s simple, but he knows how to stop the strong Bluto’s bad plans. In 1929, Popeye was first in the comic strip (连环画) “Thimble Theatre” (《顶针剧院》) by E.C. Segar in the US. He only had a small part. But two years later he had his own comic strip. Americans ate 33 percent more spinach in the 1930s! “He shows anybody can be great,” said Wang Di, 14, from Beijing. “He gets angry, but I still love him and his spinach.”
