【推荐1】Tianwen I is China’s first Mars probe(火星探测器). Where does the name come from?
Do you still remember Qu Yuan, a famous poet in ancient China? He loved his motherland very much. His long poem Heavenly Question(《天问》) expresses the continual hard work and the great spirit of the Chinese nation to science. That is why Tianwen I was officially named, which is quite cultural and beautiful.
On July 14th, 2020, Tianwen I arrived at the Wenchang Space Launch Space(发射站) in Hainan Province. The space probe Tianwen I blasted off(发射升空) at 12:41 pm on July 23rd, 2020, carrying a Long March 5 carrier rocket(长征5号运载火箭). It took Tianwen I about seven months to travel to Mars.
The China’s Mars rover(火星车), Zhurong moved from its landing platform onto the surface of the Red Planet at 10:40 am on May I5th, 2021, starting its exploration(探险旅程), around the landing site. The 240-kilogram robot was sent into the sky to survey Mars’ landforms, geography situation, and something about water, ice, environment and other physical fields.
Before Tianwen I, no country had ever tried to send an orbiter(运行器), a lander and a rover in one single expedition(考察) to Mars.

【推荐2】①With the increase in space travel, you’ll most likely want to be a space tourist at some point. If you’re considering travelling to space, then you’ll need to read our “out-of-this-world” advice first. Here’s what you need to know.
②It’s a good idea to hit the gym first. If you want to experience zero gravity (重力), you need to be physically fit. You don’t have to be as fit as an Olympic athlete (运动员), just healthy. The trip will influence your body. For this reason, it’s a good idea to be checked by a doctor first.
③ ▲ Most space tourist flights will only give you a few minutes in zero gravity, so plan what you’re going to do because you don’t want to waste valuable time. Take some time to look out of the window and enjoy the view, even if you feel like turning in circles or acting like you’re flying.
④When you’re in zero gravity, there’s no force pulling you down like on Earth, and you might feel a bit sick, so be prepared for that. Also, when you leave the Earth’s atmosphere (大气层), there will be strong forces pushing and pulling you. If you have travel sickness, take some medicine with you!
⑤Remember space travel is exciting but requires a lot of preparation. Whether it’s staying fit or getting ready for zero gravity, every step is important. So, before you start your space journey, make sure you are fully prepared for the adventure ahead.
1. Which of the following can be put into ▲ in Paragraph 3?| A．You need to plan your time there too. |
| B．Don’t forget to take a camera with you. |
| C．Why not learn more about the space travel? |
| D．Try to discuss your travel plans with a friend. |
| A．Feeling sick in zero gravity. | B．Pulling you down to the Earth. |
| C．Turning in circles in the sky. | D．Taking some medicine in space. |

In the minds of the Chinese, the moon is connected with gentleness and brightness, expressing their best wishes. In traditional Chinese culture, the moon carries people’s deep feelings for their home and loved ones.
On August 15 of the lunar calendar(阴历) each year, the moon is full and bright and it’s time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. In ancient times, from royal to common family, it was an important custom to admire the full moon during the festival. The family always spent time together. Adults usually enjoyed delicious mooncakes with a cup of hot tea, while children ran around with bright lanterns.
After nightfall, they went out for a walk under the moonlight, looking up at the full moon and thinking of their loved ones away from home. And those who couldn’t get back home missed their hometowns and family the most that night. A line from a poem “The moon at the home village is the brightest” expresses such feelings.
▲ . From the story of Chang’e to the wonderful paintings of Dunhuang flying apsaras(天), they express Chinese ancestors’ wish to explore outer space. Many ancient Chinese poets also showed their love for the moon through wonderful words. Li Bai, the great poet of Tang Dynasty, wrote hundreds of poems about the moon during his lifetime.
The Chinese exploring moon project(探月工程), named after Chang’e, fully expresses this pursuit(追求) of the moon of the Chinese in modern times, which has caught the eye of the world. The successful launch(发射) of Chang’e 1 made a long-held dream of the Chinese people come true. This year, China will push forward the fourth phase(阶段) of this project, including Chang’e 6, Chang’e 7 and Chang’e 8. For sure, the exploration of the moon will continue.
