As a member of Shenzhou XVI team, Gui Haichao completed his first spacewalk on July 20th, 2023. The 37-year-old man from Yunnan Province became famous because he is the first Chinese civilian (平民) to fly in space.
In 2008, Gui Haichao was still a student at the School of Astronautics (航天学院) under Beihang University. He graduated in the summer of 2014 with a doctor’s degree.
The young researcher then spent two years in a post-doctoral program at York University in Toronto, Canada. In the summer of 2016, Gui did post-doctoral research at Ryerson University.
He returned to Beihang one year later after receiving the university’s invitation to teach at the School of Astronautics. At Beihang, he has published more than 50 articles.
In the spring of 2018, China was choosing astronauts, including the first spaceflight engineers and specialists. It was a good chance for him. Gui has been a fan of space exploration for many years. He sometimes dreamed of doing his research in space. He immediately applied (申请) for it.
After rounds of physical checks and professional tests, Gui Haichao got a place and started training at the Astronaut Center of China. Although the physical training at the astronaut center was very tough, he didn’t give up and managed to pass all tests.
Gui Haichao progressed quickly in every training course, and was chosen for the Shenzhou XVI mission to become the first civilian in China to travel in space. He feels proud to become the first Chinese payload specialist (有效载荷专家) to fly in space.

Are you sitting comfortably? Just stop for a moment and look at your posture (姿势) without making any changes. What are your legs doing?
Are they crossed? And are you a right or left crosser? Some 62 percent of people cross right over left, 26 percent go the other way, and 12 percent have no preference. There are typically two ways to sit in a chair and cross your legs. One is at the knee and the other is at the ankle (踝关节). But as comfortable as it may be to sit with your legs crossed, it is bad for your health and posture.
For a start, research shows that sitting cross-legged can increase the misalignment of the hips (髋关节错位), with one being higher than the other. And it changes the speed at which blood moves in the lower part of the body, which can increase the risk of blood clots (凝块).
Most of the research suggests crossing at the knees is worse than the ankles. Indeed, sitting this way can cause an increase in your blood pressure (血压) because of the pooling of blood and your heart having to work harder against this. And this can increase the risk of damage to your blood vessels (血管), which is why when you take your blood pressure, you should put your feet on the floor.
The longer and more often you sit cross legged, the more likely it is that you’ll have changes in the muscle and bone in your hip. Your neck can also be affected because one side of the body becomes weaker than the other.
So, in order to keep a healthy body, do not cross your legs when you’re reading on a chair or watching TV on the sofa.

The British have many traditions but there is nothing more special than “taking” afternoon tea. It was the invention of afternoon tea that turned drinking tea into a popular activity.
This social activity has been a tradition dating back to the 1840s, as a light snack to bridge the gap (间隙) between lunch and dinner. It went on to become popular for the nobles (贵族).
Now there is a resurgence (复兴) in its popularity in the UK and it’s available (可获得的) to anyone who is able to buy it. Although it can be enjoyed at home, the best way to experience it is at a smart hotel or cafe. But if you’re thinking of visiting such a place, remember the rules to stop from being asked to leave.
*Make sure you order the right thing—it is afternoon tea not high tea, or a cream tea. These are something different.
*Dress smartly—it’s an important occasion. Certain places require a man to wear a jacket and tie and ladies should wear a hat.
*Stir (搅拌) your tea correctly—do not knock (放) your spoon against the cup and do not leave it in the cup! Stir back and forth not around in circles.
*Start by eating the sandwiches first before moving on to the sweet things.
*The sandwiches are called “finger sandwiches” and therefore eaten by hand not with a knife and fork.
*When eating, take small bites and eat slowly. This will let you join in the conversation without always having a full mouth.
*Although you can ask for more sandwiches and cakes, don’t put them in your handbags to eat later!

8 . During the summer holidays, my grandpa went fishing and let me come with him. He handed me the rod (鱼竿), held my arms and taught me how to throw my line into the water.
The sun was warming us. A gentle wind was blowing. There were birds circling overhead. We were in a good mood (心情), sitting and talking. “I remember when I could sit here and watch the fish swimming in the water.” he said. “Sometimes, they’d jump out and land beside me. I didn’t even need a fishing rod then.”
“We have to be patient.” he continued. “The fish may come or they may not. It doesn’t matter. We’re out in the sun. It’s a beautiful day. If it rained, we couldn’t be here. We’re lucky to have the warmth of the sun.”
He leaned back against a tree. “Yes, it’s a great day.” he said.
I watched our bobbers (浮子). No fish pulled them under the water that day. It didn’t matter. I was with Grandpa. I felt grown up. Just being with him was special.
He was well liked by everyone. He had worked hard all his life for what little he had, but he could still find time to laugh. I wanted to be like him when I grew up.
He was an amazing man. In the short time we were together, he taught me many things: how to fish, the value of a good laugh, the value of a good friend, respect for the elders and the importance of working hard. The list is long.
