Peter is an eight-year-old boy. He began to go to school last year. Now he’s in Grade Two. He lives not far from the school, but he’s often late for class. He doesn’t like studying. He likes watching TV in the evening and goes to bed late, so he can’t get up on time in the morning.

Mrs. Black teaches Grade Two English. She is strict（严厉的）with her students. She often tells them to come to school on time. This morning, Peter gets up late again. It is 8: 10 when he gets to school. “You’re fifteen minutes late for the first class, Peter,” Mrs. Black says angrily, “why are you often late for class?”

“Every time when I get to the crossing, I see a guidepost（路牌）. It says, ‘SCHOOL GO SLOW（慢行）’!”

Astronauts are in space again! On Oct. 16, China’s Shenzhou XIII spacecraft took off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center（卫星发射中心）in Gansu. It later reached the Tiangong space station and docked with the Tianhe core module（核心舱）.

Shenzhou XIII carried three astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu. Look! They are in the core module.

They will stay for six months. There they will set up a robotic（机器的） arm, check devices（设备）and carry out scientific experiments（实验）. They will even celebrate the2022 Spring Festival in space.

Wang Yaping is the mother of a 5-year-old girl. She sets a good example for all women who dream of going to space. During the next few months, Wang and her teammates will carry out scientific experiments and space walks. They believe that they will finish the mission successfully.

Do you want to travel in space? For most of us, it’s cool to do such a job. As one of the three astronauts of the Shenzhou-12 manned spaceship, Nie Haisheng is also proud of it. Nie is 57 years old. He is 172 cm tall and he is of medium build. He is from a farmer’s family of Hubei. His family was poor, but he had a very good educatior. In his free time, Nie likes fishing. He thinks it’s a good way to relax.

Nie is a hard-working man. To finish his job（工作）well, he always works very hard. He often says, “The oldest astronaut in the world to ever travel in space is 77 years old, so I am still young.”
