Chapman actually taught photography, but quit when he was 26 to play music full time.When he was starting out, he was often compared to other British acoustic(原声的) guitar heroes of the time, like John Martyn and Bert Jansch. “The fascinating thing about Michael Chapman is that he doesn't fit in with those guys of his generation，” says Andrew Male, a music journalist.“He's always been an outsider.He never moved to London.” And while he never became part of the London music scene, Chapman was noticed by those musicians.“The 70s caught up with him in the 80s，” Male says.“He had a huge heart attack at the end of the 80s that nearly finished him off.When he made his way back into the world in the early 90s, people had forgotten about him.” But not everyone.A younger generation of musicians in America, including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and a younger singer and guitarist named Steve Gumi, recently rediscovered Chapman. “We wanted to capture Michael's voice and character where he is now.You know, it's a little road-weary, but he still has it，” Gunn says.“For me, it was really important to get that right，” “He's the right old musician for present times，” Male says.“I think the music he makes seems quite in tune with where we're at.” 4.

And the prices are 10 percent higher,” said Zou Qingling, outbound tourism manager of Lvmama. “Some of our packages to Europe or the US have already been fully booked.” Flexible schedules favored Though the holiday officially spans Feb.4 to 10, many choose to leave their office in advance or postpone the return date.In this way, they will manage to avoid the crowds at the airports, and save a considerable sum on hotels and flight tickets. If you haven't planned anything yet, here is an important tip—leave before Jan.31 or after Feb.6.

Here, take this cash from my savings！” The shopping cart showed ten items for a total of about 130 dollars. “Wait!” I replied.“That's too much money! Why do you need all these things？”“Please, Dad！These items will get here before Christmas. I have a surprise for everyone.No peeking(偷看)！” she explained, and I bought everything. A couple of days later, she got everything.I saw her then wrapping(包装) all her gifts. “Can I help you？” I asked.“No, Dad.I told you these are special surprises. No peeking！” she replied.Her excitement was obvious. The day came. She was all around her gifts, planning, protecting, arranging.Everything had to be perfect. As soon as dinner was over, she jumped from her chair and took her gifts. She went around giving each one of us her piece of love.These were small items, but it was the meaning of giving her heart that we were really feeling.As she gave the gift to each person, she watched the expression on our faces. Our smiles were her greatest reward.Her last gift was for my 2-year-old boy—a toy car. It was hard to describe my little boy's delight at getting this gift! For several minutes, everyone's attention was focused on watching him go all around the house happily. Seeing these acts of my 5-year-old helped me understand the power of giving—giving from the heart. Later that day, my girl received some gifts, but she didn't need them.

The Beginning of China's Space Program In 1956, China opened its first missile and rocket research institute. Qian Xuesen (1911-2009), a Chinese scientist honored as “the father of China's space program” was the director. With great determination to build China's own rockets, he devoted himself to China's space program.Less than ten years later, on July 19, 1964, China launched a biology rocket “T-7A(S1)” into space with the first Chinese “astronauts”—4 big rats and 4 small rats inside it. In 1968, China opened another institute for manned space flight. But that was just the beginning. China’s First Astronaut in Space At 9 a. m.October 15, 2003, Yang Liwei, aboard the Shenzhou V manned spaceship, took off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, starting his long-expected trip in space.More than 20 hours later, Yang Liwei finished his last action of this trip by cutting the rope of the parachute(降落伞) and walked out of the spaceship, putting an end to Chinese people’s successful trip to space for the first time. China’s First Mars Rover(探测车) On April 24, China’s Space Day, China’s first Mars rover has been named Zhurong, announced the China National Space Administration (CNSA).On May 22, the six-wheeled solar-powered rover, looking like a blue butterfly, left the first “footprints” on the red planet. Zhurong’s first successful drive made China the second country after the United States to land and operate a rover on Mars. Zhurong is the god of fire in ancient Chinese mythology.Literally, Zhu expresses the good wishes for humankind's exploration of the universe.Rong means integration and cooperation, reflecting China's vision of the peaceful use of space.The name is another example of Chinese scientific romance including Tianwen, Chang'e and Beidou, which also shows the Chinese spirit of exploration and cultural confidence, according to Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the CNSA. 1.

B “Welcome to our new ‘classroom’!” said Chen Dong, one of the three astronauts of the Shenzhou XIV mission. They were giving a science class 400 kilometers above Earth on Oct.12. It was the third space class from the Tiangong space station, but the first one from the Wentian lab module(实验舱) since its launch in July. The former two classes were held in the Tianhe core module(核心舱). What does the new “classroom” look like? Chen, together with Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe, showed us around. “The beds in the Tianhe module are placed horizontally(横着), while our beds are kept upright,” said Liu. That means astronauts in the Wentian lab module need to sleep standing up! But as Liu explained, people don't feel any difference because there's no gravity(重力) in space.Astronauts can even sleep on the ceiling(天花板) or upside down! The astronauts also showed their space farm, where lettuce, wheat, thale cress(拟南芥) and rice are grown.“Take a picture！” “Send the picture！” Through a voice-controlled camera, Chen already sent a picture of the thale cress to scientists on Earth.Then he used scissors to cut a sample. “I’ll put it into a fridge at -80℃ and later give it to scientists on Earth,” said Chen.Scientists will study how the environment of space affects the growth of plants. “We hope in the near future, we can harvest the food grown on our own,” said Chen. “Maybe one day, we can grow food on the moon or even on Mars!” 4. Where did the astronauts give the third science class? A. In a lab on Earth. B. In the Wentian lab module. C. In the Tianhe core module. D. In Shenzhou ⅩⅣ. 5. What are the beds in the new “classroom” like? A. They are placed horizontally. B. They are on the ceiling. C. They are kept straight. D. They are turned upside down. 6. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. A piece of thale cress. B. A picture. C. A pack of rice. D. A piece of lettuce. 7.

Here, take this cash from my savings！” The shopping cart showed ten items for a total of about 130 dollars. “Wait!” I replied.“That's too much money! Why do you need all these things？”“Please, Dad！These items will get here before Christmas. I have a surprise for everyone.No peeking(偷看)！” she explained, and I bought everything. A couple of days later, she got everything.I saw her then wrapping(包装) all her gifts. “Can I help you？” I asked.“No, Dad.I told you these are special surprises. No peeking！” she replied.Her excitement was obvious. The day came. She was all around her gifts, planning, protecting, arranging.Everything had to be perfect. As soon as dinner was over, she jumped from her chair and took her gifts. She went around giving each one of us her piece of love.These were small items, but it was the meaning of giving her heart that we were really feeling.As she gave the gift to each person, she watched the expression on our faces. Our smiles were her greatest reward.Her last gift was for my 2-year-old boy—a toy car. It was hard to describe my little boy's delight at getting this gift! For several minutes, everyone's attention was focused on watching him go all around the house happily. Seeing these acts of my 5-year-old helped me understand the power of giving—giving from the heart. Later that day, my girl received some gifts, but she didn't need them.

The Beginning of China's Space Program In 1956, China opened its first missile and rocket research institute. Qian Xuesen (1911-2009), a Chinese scientist honored as “the father of China's space program” was the director. With great determination to build China's own rockets, he devoted himself to China's space program.Less than ten years later, on July 19, 1964, China launched a biology rocket “T-7A(S1)” into space with the first Chinese “astronauts”—4 big rats and 4 small rats inside it. In 1968, China opened another institute for manned space flight. But that was just the beginning. China’s First Astronaut in Space At 9 a. m.October 15, 2003, Yang Liwei, aboard the Shenzhou V manned spaceship, took off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, starting his long-expected trip in space.More than 20 hours later, Yang Liwei finished his last action of this trip by cutting the rope of the parachute(降落伞) and walked out of the spaceship, putting an end to Chinese people’s successful trip to space for the first time. China’s First Mars Rover(探测车) On April 24, China’s Space Day, China’s first Mars rover has been named Zhurong, announced the China National Space Administration (CNSA).On May 22, the six-wheeled solar-powered rover, looking like a blue butterfly, left the first “footprints” on the red planet. Zhurong’s first successful drive made China the second country after the United States to land and operate a rover on Mars. Zhurong is the god of fire in ancient Chinese mythology.Literally, Zhu expresses the good wishes for humankind's exploration of the universe.Rong means integration and cooperation, reflecting China's vision of the peaceful use of space.The name is another example of Chinese scientific romance including Tianwen, Chang'e and Beidou, which also shows the Chinese spirit of exploration and cultural confidence, according to Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the CNSA. 1. Which word can best describe Qian Xuesen's quality? A. Patient. B. Committed. C. Gentle. D. Responsible. 2. How many “astronauts” were inside the biology rocket “T-7A(S1)”？ A. One. B. Four. C. Five. D. Eight. 3. What is Zhurong according to the text? A. A rocket. B. A rover. C. A butterfly. D. A missile. B “Welcome to our new ‘classroom’!” said Chen Dong, one of the three astronauts of the Shenzhou XIV mission. They were giving a science class 400 kilometers above Earth on Oct.12. It was the third space class from the Tiangong space station, but the first one from the Wentian lab module(实验舱) since its launch in July. The former two classes were held in the Tianhe core module(核心舱). What does the new “classroom” look like? Chen, together with Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe, showed us around. “The beds in the Tianhe module are placed horizontally(横着), while our beds are kept upright,” said Liu. That means astronauts in the Wentian lab module need to sleep standing up! But as Liu explained, people don't feel any difference because there's no gravity(重力) in space.Astronauts can even sleep on the ceiling(天花板) or upside down! The astronauts also showed their space farm, where lettuce, wheat, thale cress(拟南芥) and rice are grown.“Take a picture！” “Send the picture！” Through a voice-controlled camera, Chen already sent a picture of the thale cress to scientists on Earth.Then he used scissors to cut a sample. “I’ll put it into a fridge at -80℃ and later give it to scientists on Earth,” said Chen.Scientists will study how the environment of space affects the growth of plants. “We hope in the near future, we can harvest the food grown on our own,” said Chen. “Maybe one day, we can grow food on the moon or even on Mars!” 4. Where did the astronauts give the third science class? A. In a lab on Earth. B. In the Wentian lab module. C. In the Tianhe core module. D. In Shenzhou ⅩⅣ. 5. What are the beds in the new “classroom” like? A. They are placed horizontally. B. They are on the ceiling. C. They are kept straight. D. They are turned upside down. 6. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. A piece of thale cress. B. A picture. C. A pack of rice. D. A piece of lettuce. 7.
