The moon landing
It's always been man's dream to fly like a bird in the sky. Back in 1865, a French writer once wrote about man's landing on the moon on a special airplane with three people inside, and the first person to touch the ground on the moon would be American. That was considered (被认为) to be a crazy (疯狂的) idea at that time. Over one hundred years later, on July 20, 1969, however, this impossible dream did come true.
It was a big day in the history of the 20th century. On that day, a special airplane took three brave (勇敢的) men from Cape Kennedy at a speed of 35,533 feet per second. The trip to the moon took 103 hours and 30 minutes. In fact, it was the first time that man ever "walked" in outer space. On the trip, two of the spacemen spent two hours on the moon walking like flying, and the other stayed in the spaceship. They studied the appearance of the moon. Four days later, the spaceship Apollo 11, returned to the earth and the astronauts were welcomed by people around the country. The man who took the first step, Neil Armstrong, said, "That's a small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." This has been said again and again in every language around the world since then.
Steve visits the nursing home near his house two afternoons each week. On one of those days, he reads to his friend Martin. On the other afternoon, he plays cards and talks with Mrs. Johnson. Steve enjoys spending his extra time this way. He is a volunteer. A volunteer is a person who helps another person or has a job for which he or she does not get paid. A volunteer donates his or her time for free.
Everyone else in Steve's family is also a volunteer. Steve's mother Mary volunteers one afternoon each week at the local hospital.

Hi, Daming,
You ask me about how to improve(提高) your English listening. Here are some advice(建议). I hope they can help you.
Relax(放松) yourself.
Before you start listening to something, don't get excited or nervous(紧张的).You need to relax.This will help you with your listening.
Listen carefully to the first sentence.
The first sentence tells a lot about the whole passage.For example,if,at the beginning,you hear “Our reporter says…”,you know you will hear a piece of news,not a children's story, or a science report.
Think when you're listening.
When you're listening, try to do some thinking.For example, you can think of the following questions: When, where and how? What does the speaker want to tell us? In this way, you may understand the passage better.
Listen to important facts.
It's important for you to remember some important facts. For example, if the passage is a science report, you should try to remember its findings, and how the scientists get their results. This is also very helpful to your listening.
Yours,
Tom
