A few days ago, he was just Colonel(上校) Yang; few people knew his name or recognized 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 above the magic words:"China"s first spaceman".
The 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9 a.m. Last Wednesday by China"s Shenzhou Ⅴ
spacecraft, which orbited the earth 14 times. He landed safely at 6:23 a.m. The next day, making China the
third country successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the US.
Yang was satisfied with his job."I have seen many landing scenes before on video, and I think ours was
one of the most successful," He said on a special plane to Beijing after landing. Born into an ordinary family in
Liaoning Province, he became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force in 1987,spending 1350 hours in the air. He joined
the Chinese space programme 11 years later.
While in space, Yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing China"s national flag and the United
Nations" flag to the people watching on TV at home. He also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice, before
taking a 3-hour nap. The whole project went according to plan, but space exploration is not as easy as it seems.
Anyone who saw the destruction of the US space shuttle Columbia in February this year will know that
Yang took a great risk.
He experienced extremely high temperatures, while the gravitation (重力) on take-off and landing were
strong enough to force tears from his eyes.
He has spent five years training to become a spaceman.
"I eat all of my meals at the space programme"s dinning room and have never been able to take my son to
kindergarten," he said."I"ve never met his teachers."
But becoming China"s first spaceman has made all the effort worthwhile. "When I boarded the spacecraft
for the first time,I couldn"t help feeling excited," he said."I decided that I had to fly it."
To Chinese people, Yang is now a hero. One visitor to a Xinhua news agency online forum(网上论坛)said,
"Yang"s trip is a giant leap forward for China."
Officials say the next Shenzhou will be launched by 2005.China also plans to develop spacewalking and a
space lab.
B. A hero with great courage.
C. The first Chinese man in space.
D. How Yang Liwei became China"s first spaceman.
B. 1.5 hours.
C. 6 hours.
D. The story didn"t mention it.
B. Because it was a very special experience.

University Medical Center was unusual. The patient, a 62-year-old man, was made to sleep, tied with blue
drapes (消毒帷帘) and lying face up on a narrow table. But no one was touching him.
Instead, the operation was being performed by a robot, whose three metal arms went through pencil-sized
holes in the man"s chest. At the ends of the robot"s arms were tiny metal fingers, with turning wrists, which
held tiny instruments, a light and a camera. The robot"s arms and fingers were controlled by Dr. Randall K.
Wolf, sitting at a computer in a corner of the operating room about 20 feet away.
This sort of operation, heart surgeons say, is the start of what may be the biggest change in their profession
since heart bypass surgery (心脏搭桥手术) began nearly 30 years ago. "The reason we make cuts is that we
have big hands," said Dr. Wolf, the director of the surgery at Ohio State. The robot"s dainty fingers, no longer
than a nail on the small finger, at the end of the long sticks could work better.
Eventually, surgeons believe, most heart surgery will be done by robots whose arms are put in through
pencil-sized holes punched in patients" chests. Instead of directly staring into a patient"s body, surgeons will
view magnified images of the operation on computer screens. In theory, the doctor would not have to be in the
same room, or even the same country, as the patient.
B. weak
C. fat
D. quick
B. surgeons have large hands
C. large cuts take less time
D. large cuts cost less money
B. was developed at Ohio State University
C. is a new and risky procedure
D. may replace surgery done by doctors
B. robot surgery is. being developed at Ohio State
C. robot surgery will be used on many patients in the near future
D. many hospitals will eventually offer robot surgery to patients
Jabulani-the South Africa World Cup ball, but won"t act on the problem until after the tournament.
Many players have complained that the Jabulani is too unpredictable and flies through the air too easily.
"We"re not deaf," FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke said Saturday at a news conference. "FIFA has
heard about what has been said about the ball."
Valcke said that FIFA would discuss the matter with coaches and teams after the World Cup, then meet
with the manufacturer Adidas. "There are rules for size and weight, but the ball has to be perfect," he added.
But Goalkeepers have complained about the ball at every recent World Cup match.
Brazil"s headcoach Dunga got into a quarrel with Valcke over the Jabulani before the tournament,
challenging FIFA officials to come out onto the field and attempt to control it. "The balls have changed over
the last couple of years, they have become a lot faster and in addition to that in Johannesburg we are playing
at an altitude of 1 700 meters, which makes the ball even faster," former Germany goalkeeper Oliver Kahn
said. "Thus the goalkeepers work even harder, but I don"t think that we can take the ball or the altitude as
excuses."
Scoring was down by 16 goals in the first round compared to 2006: 117-101. However, teams played a
more defensive style in the group stage in South Africa, so whether the ball was a major factor is difficult to
measure.
Adidas has made the World Cup ball since 1970. The German company says it doesn"t know what the
problem is about because all the 32 teams were given the ball before the tournament to test it.
B. is too colorful
C. has problems in size and weight
D. is difficult to control
B. After the South Africa World Cup.
C. During the second round of the South Africa World Cup.
D. Before the first round of the South Africa World Cup.
B. the ball became heavier
C. there was complaint about the ball
D. there was high praise for Adidas
B. Goalkeeper should work harder to control a faster ball.
C. FIFA should test the Jabulani before the World Cup.
D. Players should work hard to change their playing styles.
potentially harmful long-term effects on the colon, a small study indicates.
In the study, UK researchers found that a protein-heavy, low-carb diet created certain changes in the colon
that could contribute to colon cancer risk The study itself does not show whether high-protein diets really raise
the risk of any colon diseases, but the findings raise that possibility.
Diets relatively high in protein and lower in carbs have been shown to help heavy people lose weight. "People
should not be discouraged from losing weight," Dr Flint said. However, he added, they should make sure that
any weight loss plan includes adequate amounts of fiber and a high protein intake over months to years might
have ill effects on the colon.
The findings are based on 17 overweight men who followed three short-term diets: a one-week menu plan
to keep their weight; a four-week high-protein diet with reasonable amounts of carbohydrates; and a four-week
high-protein diet low in carbs.
On average, the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets, they had higher levels of
substances known as N-nitroso compounds (亚硝基化合物) and other metabolites (代谢物) that have been
linked to cancer. And when they were on the high-protein, low-carb diet, they had lowered amounts of fiber-
originated compounds thought to be protective against cancer.
Exactly what those changes might mean for a person"s health is not clear. But Flint said that the findings
suggest that people should be cautious about consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period.
In general, experts recommend that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per day-though it"s not known whether
that"s enough for someone on a high-protein weight-loss diet.
