Even though they work hard, they still can't get good grades on tests. "why?" they ask. "How can I enjoy success?" The story of Chinese astronaut Deng Qingming might help to answer their questions.
Deng was chosen as an astronaut trainee (实习生) in 1998. That was long ago—you readers hadn't even been born yet.
