1 . A rocket problem that forces astronauts to evacuate (撤退) may appear to be a plot straight out of a Hollywood movie. However, that is exactly what happened to Russian astronaut Alexey Ovchinin and American astronaut Nick Hague.     1    

The event happened shortly after the Soyuz rocket and its Soyuz MS-to space capsule (联盟号太空舱) carrying the astronauts took off from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.     2    

The takeoff went off smoothly, but just 119 seconds later, officials from Russia’s space agency informed NASA the booster (助推器) had failed to separate from the capsule.     3     Instead, they were ordered to evacuate by separating the capsule and returning to Earth in what is known as a ballistic descent mode (弹道下降模式). The sharp drop is similar to free-falling from the skies and subjects astronauts to high levels of g-force.

    4     They appeared to be in excellent condition when they crash-landed about 20 kilometers east of Dzhezkazgan, Kazakhstan, just 34 minutes after they stopped the task. Upon arrival, they were quickly found by the rescue team from Baikonur Cosmodrome and taken to the hospital for a quick check-up to ensure they had not suffered any injuries during their rough ride back to Earth.

It will take a few weeks for experts to determine what caused the problem of the usually reliable Soyuz rocket.     5     Hague, who was on his way to the space station for the first time later joked, “I imagined that my first trip to outer space was going to be a memorable one. I didn’t expect it to be quite this memorable.”

A．To their sadness, this event became a nightmare for their future space journey.

B．The two scientists were on their way to carry out a six-month task at the International Space Station.

C．Surprisingly, the harrowing event has not stopped Hague’s and Ovchinin’s wish to go to space.

D．Thus, the astronauts didn’t head to the International Space Station.

E．And luckily, they became the main characters of the movie about space exploration.

F．Fortunately, the “movie” had a happy ending with both scientists returning to Earth safely.

G．Fortunately, Hgue and Ovchinin had been well-trained for such emergencies.

Dear Editor,
I’m writing to tell you about a food poisoning accident. Several days ago, my neighbor ate a bag of food buying from the market. After the meal, they had stomachaches and their faces turn pale. Lucky, one of their friends found the accident and immediately called an ambulance, which carried them quickly to a hospital. After several hours’ treatment they finally escaped of death.
As some businessmen are only interested in making money to become rich quickly, we seldom care about the necessary safety measures or which happens to buyers. They must be have charged by law. Meanwhile, I do hope whole society can realize the important of food safety.
