Welcome to the show, Mr. Yang. Mr Yang: Thank you. Interviewer: Mr. Yang, our audience is very curious about how you succeeded in becoming China’s first astronaut. It must have been a very difficult thing to achieve. Did you always want to be an astronaut? Mr Yang: Yes, I dreamt of it when I was young, but I never thought my wish would come true. It took a long time. First, I got my college degree when I was 22, and then I worked as a fighter pilot for around 10 years. I finally became China's first astronaut when I was 38 years old. 首先,我在22岁时获得了大学学位,然后我作为战斗机飞行员工作了大约10年。 Interviewer: Oh, so you must be a really experienced pilot. Do you think that was one of the reasons why you were chosen for the space programme? Mr Yang: Sure, I had 1, 350 hours of flight experience, which I think really helped me. Interviewer: So how difficult was it to join the space programme? Mr Yang:There was a lot of competition. Altogether, 14 of us were chosen from among 1,500 pilots to train for space flights. Interviewer: That sounds really difficult. Did you also have to be a certain size and weight? 你认为那是你被选入太空项目的原因之一吗? 我有1350小时的飞行经验,我认为这真的帮了我很多。 总共有14名我们从1500名飞行员中被选中进行太空飞行训练。 你也必须有一定的身高和体重吗? Mr Yang:Yes, at the time, you had to be shorter than 172 centimetres in height and weigh less than 70 kilograms. You also had to be in perfect health and perfect shape. Interviewer: So you were the perfect choice! As we all know, an astronaut needs to be healthy and calm in order to work in space. But you also had to study a lot, too, right? Mr Yang:Yes, I had to learn English, science, and astronomy. I also had to practise using space equipment, and do a lot of mental and physical training. It was very tiring, but I was so proud to have the opportunity. 你还必须拥有完美的健康和完美的体形。 Game Time Fingertip Clash Use chopsticks to pick up the glass beads into the bottle with thick gloves. 30 : Begin/Reset 00 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00 00 Dizzy(眩晕) Dash(冲刺) Spin(旋转) around for 20 seconds, and then walk in a straight line.

B: I see what you mean. Talking Work Read the poem. Mark the stressed syllables with and unstressed syllables with . Then try reading the poem to each other with rhythm. Gravity One day, Isaac Newton sat Not only apples, but all of us And saw an apple fall. Stay still though Earth spins round. Then he thought, “It’s not just fruit! Of course, we know that this is true! Something pulls us all.” Earth goes round but we stay still. “There is a force,” he said to himself, What goes up must come down, “That pulls things to the ground, And it always will.” Listen and repeat after the recording.
