The US government didn’t show much interest in Goddard’s invention, To continue his study, Goddard used his o 7 money and the money from private groups. Over the years, his rockets grew to 18 feet and flew up to 9,000 feet. No one made fun of him after he was successful. In f 8 , he became known as the father of modern rocketry.

When you talk to her, she can not only a 1 your questions but also make different facial expressions, like smiling or looking surprised. The team behind Jia Jia spent years d 2 her.

Today, we will learn some important rules for communication. Good communication is the secret of m 1 friends and keeping them. So, let’s get started! First, listen with your ears and your heart. When someone is talking to you, pay full a 2 to them. Look at them, nod your head, and listen with your ears and your heart. It shows that you c 3 about what they are saying. Second, think before you speak. Just like you look before you c 4 the street, you need to think twice about something before you say it. Ask yourself, “Is it kind? Is it helpful?” If the answer is yes, feel free to share it! But if it’s not, keep it to yourself. Third, use your words, not your fists (拳头). If you have a p 5 with someone, don’t solve it with your fists. Instead, use your words to e 6 how you feel. Your words can make a world of difference, while getting physical only makes things worse. Fourth, treat (对待) others the way you want to be treated. This rule e 7 you to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and consider how you would like to be treated if you were in their position (位置). If you treat others with love, kindness, and respect (尊敬), the chances are that they will treat you the s 8 way. F 9 , be a friend, not a bully (恃强凌弱者).

We were waiting for instructions from ground control. The minutes seemed like h 1 . Finally, we took off. We were travelling so fast—it only took about 10 minutes to get into orbit (轨道). At first, it was a shock to my body. I wasn’t feeling great. However, I soon changed and felt better. At last, we r 2 the space station—my new home for a while! Let me tell you what life in space is like. Eating in space I used to w 1 about the food in space. But in fact we can choose from many types of food, such as fruit, nuts, chicken, beef and seafood. We have different types of tea, juice and soup as well. It turns out (证明) that eating can be a p 2 in space too! Working in space We are very busy every day. Being an astronaut is hard because you do not experience gravity (重力) when you are in orbit. Everything floats (漂浮), i 1 you, so simple tasks seem harder and take longer to do. When we go outside, we have to move very carefully. We can’t afford to make any mistakes, so it can be stressful sometimes. However, it is an a 2 experience to go outside the space station in a spacesuit. The view of the Earth is great! Sleeping in space Just like on Earth, I go to bed at a c 1 time. However, I sleep in a sleeping bag in a small room, and I have to stick my sleeping bag to the wall. This stops me from floating around the room and h 2 something by mistake! Exercising in space Exercise is an important part of our daily life in space. When we live in space, we start losing muscle (肌肉). Exercise can slow down the muscle loss. If we do not exercise, we will be very w 1 when we return to the Earth. L 2 , we have a small gym on the space station to help us stay fit. However, the exercise equipment is very different from what we use on Earth. On the first day of school, children can be very nervous. However, sometimes parents are more nervous than the students themselves. A new British survey s 1 that one in three parents are worried that their children will not make friends when they start school. The survey was carried out by Action for Children, an organization in the UK. They questioned more than 2,000 parents and f 2 that parents are more likely to care about their children’s ability to make friends than their lessons. 33% of the parents put not making friends on top of the list of their worries about their children, w 3 just 11% of the parents said their main worry is that their children will not be able to keep up with the schoolwork. Everyone needs friends. They can bring h 4 and hope in our lives. However, the ability to make friends is d 5 from person to person. To some people, making friends is easy and to others it’s very difficult. We all have the ability to make friends. U 6 , many people never reach their potential (潜力). Making friends is a skill, and the first step in developing that skill is to know how to get along w 7 others. It’s n 8 for some children to feel nervous if they don’t know how to get on well with others in a new environment. However, parents and teachers should h 9 them learn some basic social skills such as sharing, helping, teamwork and communication. It’s necessary for parents to teach their child to know the i 10 of having friends. Let him or her know having hundreds of online friends is not the same as having a friend he or she can connect and be with in person every day. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。 When Robert Goddard was 17 years old, he climbed high up a tree.

He was a sick child and didn’t finish high school until he was 21. He later b 3 a physics teacher at a university. In his free time, he built rockets (火箭) and took them to a field, b 4 they didn’t fly.   In 1920, Goddard wrote an article about rocket travel. W 5 the New York Times saw it, a reporter wrote that Goddard had less knowledge about science than a high school student. I 6 1926, Goddard built a ten-foot rocket, put it into a car, and drove to a field on his aunt’s neighbouring farm. He lit the fuse (点火), and the rocket went into the sky. It travelled at 60 miles per hour. Then it fell into the field. The flight lasted 2.5 seconds. The US government didn’t show much interest in Goddard’s invention, To continue his study, Goddard used his o 7 money and the money from private groups. Over the years, his rockets grew to 18 feet and flew up to 9,000 feet. No one made fun of him after he was successful. In f 8 , he became known as the father of modern rocketry. He wrote, “The dream of yesterday is the hope of today, and the reality (现实) of tomorrow.” Goddard didn’t live to see space flight. He d 9 in 1945, but his work didn’t stop. Scientists continued to build bigger and better rockets. In 1969, the American rocket Apollo II took the f 10 men to the moon. At that time, the New York Times wrote about its 1920 article: “The Times regrets the error (错误).” 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。 Animals play so many important roles in our lives.

In Zhengzhou, the local government organized a pink-themed trip, l 6 people to the city zoo and gardens to enjoy peach flowers. In Nanjing, officials mapped out a green-themed tour, inviting walkers to view willow trees, enjoy springtime green rice balls, and walk through tea gardens f 7 of tea plants. The “Color Walk” breaks away from boring city tour routines. Collecting these little joys builds a s 8 of belonging (归属).
