【推荐1】Waving her 5-year-old daughter goodbye, Wang Yaping, together with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, went into space aboard(搭乘) the Shenzhou XIII on October 16th, 2021.

The 4-year-old Wang became the first female(女性的) astronaut to enter Tiangong space station. During their six-month stay, Wang, with her two partners, will do experiments(实验) and set up robotic arms. Wang will also do the first spacewalk by a Chinese woman.

Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told herself, “China now has a male astronaut. When will there be a female one?” In order to achieve her dream, Wang pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men. “The hardest part is the high-G training. Sitting in a spinning(旋转的) machine,” said Wang. “If you can’t bear(承受) it, you can press it to stop.” But Wang never used it. “There is no such red button in my heart.”

That strong spirit(精神) finally made her dream come true. Retired(退役) NASA astronaut Catherine Coleman sent a greeting to Wang before the Shenzhou XII trip. Coleman said, “When you look out the window and see the stars and the Earth, billions of women will be looking out that window with you.”

Wang carries the spirit of every young woman who dreams of something big.

【推荐1】I love it at night. It’s peaceful. And when it cools down I sometimes do some ironing(烫衣服). I don’t really care for it. I work full-time and I am too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me to iron. I was about 15 and I had to get a job taking care of a woman to make a living. She had been an able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed.
The woman sat in an electric wheelchair all day. She could only move her head and arms. She would tell me how to do things. She would teach me in great detail on the correct ways to do things. Her home was perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her wheelchair to make sure I did everything exactly right . I’m sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold everything, including socks. I would complain silently and wish terrible things on her. She taught me the right way to make the bed. I know sometimes she’d get frustrated(沮丧的)and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to do it herself. But she never shouted or scolded(责骂).   She only insisted I do it right. I didn’t like it much, but I did it.
Today I can iron pretty well. I know where to start on a shirt and the right way to do the trousers. Now when I think about it, I don’t think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age now. Anyway, when I iron, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned.

【推荐2】Old Dawson had the best apples in town, but kids knew they mustn’t go into his yard to pick a delicious apple, even off the ground, because Dawson, a bad­tempered (坏脾气的) man, they said, would come after you with his gun.

One Friday, 12­-year-­old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson’s house on the way to Amy’s house. Like most of the children, Janet was scared of the old man because of the stories she’d heard about him.

Amy said that Mr. Dawson wouldn’t hurt anyone. Still, Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man’s house. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, a big smile changed his whole face as he said, “Hello, Miss Amy. I see you’ve got a little friend with you today.”

Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree.

As they walked on, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he’s the meanest man in town. Why was he so nice to us?”

Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house, he wasn’t very friendly and she was afraid of him, but she always smiled at him. It took a while, but one day he half­ smiled back at her.

After some more time, he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her. Just a “Hello” at first, then more. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.

We’re always trying to achieve so much, and it’s so easy to get caught up in (被卷入；陷入) everyday life that we forget we can bring cheer to ourselves and others simply. Giving a smile takes so little effort; let’s smile to others.

【推荐3】

A 80-year-old tortoise (乌龟) is going twice its usual speed after being equipped (装备) with a set of wheels(轮子). The animal, called Mrs. T, was facing a terrible future after losing her two front legs in a mouse attack while she was sleeping in winter, but her owners glued the wheels onto her shell (外壳).

"She's going double the speed she used to," said the owner Jude Ryder, "She uses her back legs to push herself along and seems quite happy."

The 58-year-old owner was surprised when she went to check on her loved pet last month and found her front legs had been eaten in the mouse attack. The local animal doctor tried his best to save Mrs. T. But he was afraid that the tortoise would not survive without being mobile. After paying £1,000 for the treatment, Mrs. Ryder turned to her son Dale for help. Dale designed the front wheels and used resin (树脂) to add them to the front of the shell. Mrs Ryder said: "She liked them immediately, but she must learn how to turn and stop. She can get a good speed up, much faster than before. Mrs. T is still quite young for a tortoise. She could go on for another 60 years. All she needs is a new set of tyres (轮胎) sometimes."

When Mrs. T was sixty years old, she was bought as a pet for Dale, an 8-year-old boy. It liked running happily in Mrs Ryder's garden in spring and summer. When winter came, Mrs. T slept in the garden shelter. A mouse got in last month and chewed (咬) off both her front legs. Mrs Ryder said: "We were afraid she would be sure to die, but her new set of wheels have saved her life. She can run in the garden again and we can always find her because she leaves very strange footprints behind wherever she goes. "

Mice attacking tortoises is not uncommon around us-in 2013 Britain's oldest tortoise died after a mouse attack. The tortoise called Thomas was 130 when he was bitten at his home in Guernsey. He spent five days on strong antibiotics (抗生素), but the wound became so infected (被感染的) that his owner had no choice but to have him put to sleep.

b. Dale designed two wheels for Mrs. T.
c. Mrs. T learned how to turn and stop with equipped wheels.

He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy.

But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to stop climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”

At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal（水晶）.
