On October 17, 2016 the Shenzhou-11 manned spaceship was sent into space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in Gansu. Two days later the spaceship successfully docked with(与……对接) the space laboratory Tiangong-2. It meant China got closer to its plan of building a space station in 2020.

The spaceship took two Chinese astronauts to space this time. Jing Haipeng was an experienced astronaut who had taken part in three space tasks. But it was Chen Dong’s first space flight.

Jing and Chen were given a 30-day task on Tiangong-2. They tested new technology and did experiments to prepare for future space station tasks. The astronauts themselves were also the subject(对象) of those experiments. The life support devices(设备) they used and how they lived inside the space laboratory were studied. No Chinese astronaut had stayed in space for that long before.

A month-long space task was not easy, so Chinese scientists and engineers had come up with lots of new technologies to allow astronauts to stay more safely and more comfortably in space.

One of the new technologies tested during this task was a device called “space hospital”. The space hospital was two little silver boxes tied around the two astronauts’ legs. Through the “space hospital”, scientists and doctors on the Earth could watch the astronauts’ heart rate and temperature. When the astronauts felt tired, the “space hospital” could even massage(为……按摩) them.

After this task, China is expected to send an unmanned cargo spaceship(无人货运飞船) in mid-April next year. It will dock with Tiangong-2 and take new fuel to the space laboratory.

With more and more cars on the road, traffic jams (堵车) are inevitable. Traffic jams can lead to more accidents as there are more cars, with more people trying to get to their destination, all the while getting worse. Although it’s impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether, there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road.

Check for traffic jams before you leave. You can listen to the radio for traffic news, or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic. If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic, you can choose another.

Look for a different route all the time. Most traffic jams happen on busy roads. Using country roads could avoid a lot of traffic. Although the distance you may have to travel is further, it can work out quicker.

Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins. Many new car stereo systems (汽车音响系统) are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel. This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary.

__________. Most traffic jams usually occur(发生) during rush hour, so try to avoid this time period if possible. Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour. Some jobs even allow you to work at home so as to avoid moving altogether. Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you.

Use public transport instead. The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car. Not only will you avoid traffic jams but you will most likely be saving money.

Geniuses(天才) can help us know more about the world. They make a great difference to history with their creativity. Here we list some people who are generally considered to be geniuses and try to find out what makes them geniuses.

Albert Einstein

Because of the German scientist’s efforts, the way people study space, time and nature now is completely different from the past.

Visualize(形象化) Einstein said one of the keys to his success was that he could visualize problems. He could turn them into the language of Maths. The origin(起源) of his most famous theory of relativity began with his visualizing a light beam(束).

Leonardo da Vinci

Mona Lisa is his most famous work. The Italian not only was a great artist, but also succeeded in scientific fields.

Restructure(重建) your problemFor his amazing creativity, da Vinci believed it important to restructure a problem in different ways.

William Shakespeare

The English poet and playwright’s lasting works likeHamletalways attract people of all ages. His gift for languages made him different from other writers.

Make strange combination(组合)Many writers in his time had a rich vocabulary, but Shakespeare used grammar in a special way. A genius like him can make amazing mixtures of words, no matter how unusual or strange they seem.

Steve Jobs

The Apple founder was a dreamer who changed technology with his products.

Put ideas into execution(执行)Like Jobs, some geniuses not only keep creative ideas in their heads, but also put them into reality. Jobs put his clever ideas and smart designs into useful devices.

Today, we’ll talk about a great cow.

Six days of spring rain had created a river running by Nancy Brown’s farm. A    91     Nancy tried to drive her cows to the higher ground, she fell over and hit her head on a tree. Nancy was too t    92     to stand up on her own. When she was l    93    on the ground, she felt something was beside her. It was Lizzie, one of Nancy’s favourite cows. Lizzie was trying to make a l    94    noise to wake Nancy up. A moment later, Nancy got up and began to walk slowly with Lizzie. The water was getting higher and higher. As a r    95    , Nancy walked more and more slowly. In the end, all she could do was to throw her arms a    96    Lizzie’s neck. About 20 minutes later, Lizzie led i    97    and Nancy onto a bit higher land, a small “island” in the middle of the water.

T    98    it was only about 6 p.m., the sky turned d    99    . The rain was so heavy that it took people almost two hours to d    100    Nancy. Luckily, she was saved at last.
