Recent decades have seen China make many scientific achievements. One of them is the development of its space program. Chinese people have gone to space while Chinese robots have landed on the moon and soon will reach Mars.
On Oct 15, 2003, the nation carried out its first manned space mission, sending Yang Liwei on a 21-hour journey around Earth in the Shenzhou V spacecraft. Chinese astronauts have traveled more than 46 million kilometers in
space and conducted more than 100 experiments. According to government plans, the nation will start putting together its first manned space station around 2020. The multi-module station, named Tiangong, or Heavenly Palace, is expected to be up and running by 2022. It's planned to have a useful life of about 15 years, says the China Academy of Space Technology.
China has launched four lunar probes (探测器) since 2007. The latest and most remarkable, the ongoing Chang'e 4 mission, is the first attempt by any nation to observe the moon's far side, which never faces Earth. In early December 2018, the Chang'e 4 robotic probe was lifted atop a Long March 3B rocket, making a soft landing on the moon's far side on Jan 3. The next step in China's lunar exploration agenda, the Chang'e 5 mission, is coming up. It will land a rover (月球车) to collect soil samples and bring them back to Earth. If the mission is successful, it will make China the third nation to bring back lunar samples, after the United States and Russia.
Now, China aims to explore deep space. Mars will be the key concentration of China's future deep-space plans. Researchers are preparing for the country's first exploratory mission to the red planet, scheduled for 2020. According to the China National Space Administration (CNSA), China's first Martian probe will look at the Martian soil, environment, atmosphere and water. In the next part of China's Mars program, a larger probe will go to the red planet around 2030,according to Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the space administration.

28、 The moment I fell off the horse, I knew I was going to die. I felt myself thrown violently over his head and onto the ground. I heard my bones break.
"Help me," I cried. "Please, help me." Terrible pain in my chest and back turned my words into a whisper. "I'm alone," I thought. No one heard me. In a daze, I struggled to my feet. "You are strong," I told myself," and you can do this. "I forced myself to walk back to the farm house. Doctors told me later that I'd done all of this with seven broken bones, a bleeding lung and an injured neck.
“Mary,I fell off ‘Nate',"I phoned. “I think it's bad. I can't feel my right arm anymore. ”I'd called my workmates at the hospital,knowing they would be my lifelines.
An hour later,I lay in the hospital. I was no longer a nurse;I was a patient in my own emergency department. At that moment,I let my memory go back some four weeks.
“OK,just jump out,”Duke commanded as I hesitated in the doorway of the plane. Today I would prove how strong I was. Today I would be a skydiver. “Let's do it!"I shouted back and I jumped.
The shaking stop of the CT scanner interrupted my memory. I was a single mother and a strong woman who could drive a horse. The misfortunes of the past two years had taught me to stand taller.
Months later,I returned to work to find I'd become a local legend(传奇). The story was told and retold. One day a new employee heard the story and he asked me in surprise,“Who picked you up after you fell?”
I felt myself take a deep breath-it was warm and alive in my chest. "Who picked me up?”A knowing smile spread across my face. "Think big,"I told him,“really big. "

Mr.Rose calmly shared his rule in life with all the reporters who were anxiously awaiting his reply.“Every time I step up to the plate,I expect to get a hit!If I don't expect to get a hit,I have no right to step in the batter's box in the first place!If I go up hoping to get a hit,then I probably don't have a prayer of getting a hit.It is the positive expectation that has gotten me all of the hits in the first place.”

It was a bright summer’s day. The weather was pleasant, but the wind from the Sahara desert made it extremely hot and wet. A ship stopped off the coast of Africa. The seagulls were circling overhead and crying loudly. In the distance, several dolphins were jumping out of the water at times to create a big white wave.
Just before sunset, the captain came on deck and called out, “Time for a swim.”
Immediately sailors jumped into the water, lowered a canvas mat (帆布垫子) and made it into a swimming pool. They had been waiting for this moment the whole day.
There were two young boys on the ship. They both jumped in, but swam out into the open sea since it was too crowded inside the “pool”. They played and chased (追逐) each other in the open sea. Their fathers cheered them on, often urging one of the boys to prove his bravery over the other.
Suddenly, something gray from a distance was coming closer and closer. Somebody from the deck called out, “Shark! Shark!” The fin was moving faster. Confusion and panic arose, and everyone climbed to safety. Everyone, except the two boys. They had not heard the shouts.
The shark was moving towards the boys.
The captain shouted, “Come back my boys! There is a shark out there!” One of the boys was his son. For the first time in his life, he didn’t know what to do. He could not think clearly. The captain’s face became as white as a sheet. He could feel his legs were shaking so badly that he nearly fell to the ground.
The people on the deck screamed wildly. But the boys could not hear them. They continued to play and to swim, unaware of the danger approaching them fast. Some sailors lowered a boat, jumped into it and attempted to row towards the boys.
Para 1: Just then, one of the boys looked back and saw the large animal he knew too well.
Para 2: Their screams brought the captain back to his senses.
