Yang Liwei was born in 1965. He had wanted to fly since he was a young boy.     1    他从小就热爱科技.     2    He always has a strong desire to learn how to fly. In 1983, he joined the army, and went to a flight school.     3    四年后他毕业了成了一名飞行员. In 1998, he applied to be a member of Project 921, which is now called Shenzhou. He was one of the only 14 selected from 1,500 candidates.     4    The team spent the next five years being trained. Yang scored among the very top in everything the group studied. In September 2003, Yang along with the other two candidates was picked for the Chinese space adventure. It was his high scores on the psychological tests that finally won him the status of China’s first astronaut.     5    His name will go down in history.

Having read about your newspaper's decision to start a campaign for protecting the environment,     1    . I decided to write you this letter.

The state of our parks is very shocking, with rubbish everywhere.     2    . I used to find a trip to the park very relaxing. Upon the arrival of spring, beautiful birds would sing happily in the park. I enjoyed this very much. However, now I just find it tiring because    3    .我不得不捡拾垃圾 where I am going to sit. The grass is covered in plastic bags and food.    4    .我很难过 that the young people of today do not clean up after themselves before they leave the park.     5    . There are so many interesting animals and insects living in our parks. It would be a shame if they were destroyed because of people's activities there.

Yours,

Wang Qiang

From our recent survey of students, we have found that 53 percent of the students often play sports.     1    The most popular sport is basketball, which is played by 45 percent of the students. This is followed by football, which 40 percent of the students often play.     2    一小部分学生做其他运动，比如乒乓球。

We want to give the students more chances to get into shape by playing sports. For this reason, we suggest that we organize a school basketball tournament     3    since basketball is the most popular sport in school. Each class would have its own basketball team and should practise several afternoons a week. Then on sports day,     4    班级间可以互相比赛。 We could offer awards to the winning team and the most enthusiastic players.     5    This would be a good way to build the school spirit with an activity that many students enjoy.
