Liu proves herself again
Who is the best female (女性的) table tennis player in China? It is probably Liu Shiwen. Liu Shiwen was born on April 12, 1991 in Fushun, Liaoning. Her hobbies are watching US TV shows and learning English. Her best table tennis skill is backhand(反手击球) instead of forehand.
On Oct 20, Liu won her fifth singles title(单打冠军) at the Women’s World Cup in Chengdu, Sichuan province. She is the first person in history to win so many titles at this event.
“It’s very important for me,” Liu said. “I won four titles before when I was much younger. I had no fear(恐惧) at all.”
At 28 years old, Liu is now under greater pressure(压力). She won the world championship(锦标赛), but then lost several tour matches(巡回赛). She needed to prove herself once again. She was able to do so in the end. Her secret was to not think about her losses.“I just played the game like it was the world championships or even the Olympics,” Liu said.

Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置)which uses satellites(卫星)to find the user's position(位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.
GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算)its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.
