“Makan already?” Do you understand what I am saying?
I exist at a 1 between two worlds, one distinctly American shaped by my upbringing here, the other an echo of my Malaysian heritage from somewhere remote.
A three-week stay in Malaysia every few years was often the 2 of my summers — what more can you ask from a food paradise? But besides the family, food, and escape that Malaysia offered, I got a taste of a(n) 3 in my own culture. I became a girl lost in translation, passively absorbing various 4 shouted between the stands in the wet markets, quietly 5 along at my grandparents’ huge family dinners.
In America though, I am a 6 person. As a native English speaker, I don’t think twice about my grammar when speaking. I don’t 7 with the words and fear that my messages and stories won’t 8 . In Malaysia, everything about the way I 9 gives me away. Maybe my face could pass for a Malaysian local, but once I open my mouth I am so clearly not. In the place where I’m 10 to call home, my privilege and power are 11 , skinned off layer by layer each time I naturally 12 out “have you eaten?” instead of recalling the Malaysian 13 “Makan already?”. It is 14 , but it doesn’t bother me, for I know Malaysia, where my family roots lie, contributes to my 15 .

For a little girl growing up in Colombia in the 1980s, a science career with NASA may have seemed like setting foot on a faraway planet. 1 , Diana Trujill has made it — she is a(n) 2 now, leading a 45-person team that’s responsible for the robotic arm of the latest Mars rover. Born in 1983, even as a young girl, Diana was certain of her passion for science. When she was 17, her dad offered to send her to Miami, Florida to study Aerospace Engineering. Without any 3 , she followed her dad’s 4 . Arriving in the U.S. with just $300, Trujillo had to 5 through school by doing a series of housekeeping jobs. The 6 was definitely not easy, but Trujillo never complained.
Then came another 7 moment for Trujillo. One of her professors casually mentioned an astronaut they were acquainted with. 8 she was “just one person away from knowing an astronaut” was all it took to 9 Trujillo’s career goals. So she 10 her studies in space science and 11 became the first Hispanic (拉丁裔的) woman to be admitted to the NASA Academy in 2007. Since then, Trujillo has worn many hats at America’s space agency.
But Diana hasn’t 12 there. She also leads by example, 13 women to pursue careers in STEM fields. Her own story is a 14 that just beyond that barrier lies an entire universe of opportunities waiting for anyone willing to work hard enough to 15 the stars.

It is well-known that China has made clear plans to send astronauts to land on the Moon before 2030 and is steadily 1 . However, China has done many things besides that.
Many countries are interested in Mars (火星). So far, about 50 Mars missions have been 2 globally. But nearly half of them have 3 to get there. The 4 about failure went with Tianwen1, China’s first Mars exploring probe, which was launched on July 23, 2020.
After around 10 months of travelling, the craft landed 5 on the surface of the planet on May 15, 2021. The good news that we made 6 met with both relief and celebration in the country and the concern disappeared. The success marks that China has become one of the leading 7 of outer space. It also reveals that China has got breakthroughs (突破) in the development of space exploration technologies as they are all entirely developed 8 .
Why can China do this without any outside help? It is the can-do spirit. The Chinese people use wisdom and courage to 9 all the difficulties. In the early 1960s, when the country 10 a poor and backward country, the government decided to 11 rocket and space technologies: With the correct direction and continuous efforts, we get to where we are today step 12 step.
On April 29, 2021, China sent Tianhe Core Module (天和核心舱) into space, 13 the construction of China’s space station. Two weeks ago, three astronauts took Shenzhou-17 to the station and began their 6 months of working and living there.
China has been devoted to the peaceful use of outer space and has made many 14 to it. In some of the space missions, China welcomes the 15 who have the same belief. Let’s expect what China will achieve in the future!

The Apollo crew of Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins travelled 240,000 miles in 76 hours to reach the moon. During the mission, the food items the astronauts ate on the surface of the moon in the lunar module 5 the following: beef stew, bacon squares, date fruit cake, and grape punch.
Over 400,000 people supported the 6 , including people from the Johnson Space Center in Houston and the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral. Armstrong’s famous first words “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” 7 on television channels and through newspapers around the world.
After World War Ⅱ 8 on September 2, 1945, a new conflict began between the United States and the Soviet Union. The United States and the Soviet Union had 9 ideologies(意识形态): the United States was capitalist, 10 the Soviet Union was socialist.
The Space Race started when a Soviet missile launched Sputnik(Russian for “traveller”), the world’s first artificial satellite on October 4, 1957. Sputnik became the first man-made 11 to orbit Earth. The US decided to act quickly in order to prove 12 . From 1961 to 1964, NASA’s budget 13 by 500 percent. When Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, America was declared the 14 of the Space Race. The US had spent about $25 billion on the program, over $100 billion in today’s dollars.
More than 50 years after Apollo, NASA vows to land the first woman on the moon with the Artemis program and with the help of an increase in NASA’s budget by $1.6 billion by former President Trump. The new mission, 15 the twin sister of Apollo and Greek Goddess of the moon, will be headed to the moon’s south pole where the craters(火山口)hold large deposits of water ice.
