Wang Yaping taught Chinese primary and middle school students on Earth physics problems in the zero-gravity environment(失重环境).She prepared for the lecture for a long time.

    Wang, born in January 1980, is from east China's Shandong Province. She was a pilot in the People's Liberation Army Air Force(空军)with experience of 1,600 hours of flying.

    The world's first teacher in space was Christa McAuliffe, a 37-year-old middle school teacher from the United States ,but the Space Shuttle Challenger（挑战者号）disintegrated(崩裂)after 73 seconds into flight on Jan.28,1986. McAuliffe and other six members were killed.

    “Wang's lecture was a pleasant surprise,” said Zhang Xiaguang, an astronaut in the three members of shenzhou 10 spacecraft.“________________(她无论做什么都很优秀).Sometimes we'd like to give her a helping hand ,but she just would not take the hand in help,”said Nie Haisheng.

    Like many young Chinese people, Wang likes photography, music and basketball. She said ,“We are all students in facing the universe(宇宙)。We are looking forward to joining our young friends to learn and explore the mystical(神秘的)and beautiful universe.”

To be a good tourist

    Nowadays, travelling is becoming an important part of our life. However, some people have bad habits when visiting places of interest.

    Some people often make loud noise that makes others feel uncomfortable. Some people don't realize the importance of protecting our environment. They throw rubbish everywhere. Some people like to take photos in wrong places, even in dangerous places. These are very rude and unwelcome in public.

    As a student, I think we should remember to do something to be a good tourist. First of all, we should throw rubbish in the dustbin instead of dropping it everywhere. Secondly, don't make too much noise, especially in some quiet places. It is not polite. Finally, we understand that many people like taking photos while travelling. It is fun. But we should take photos in proper places and always remember safety comes first.

    In a word, if all of us can try our best to be good tourists, I believe we can make a great difference to our environment and we can have more fun as well.

    Have you ever heard of the story The Ant and the Grasshopper(蚱蜢) ?

    One fine winter day some ants were working in the field. They were very busy. Just then a grasshopper passed by." Good day, kind ants," said the grasshopper, "I am very hungry. Will you lend me a little food? I have nothing to eat. I will pay you before the next autumn."

    "You have no food of your own? Why didn't you gather any food during the summer? You know there was much food in the field last summer. What were you doing then?" asked an old ant. The grasshopper answered, "I was singing all day and night during the summer. So I had no time to gather any food. Please lend me some." "Well, then, "said the ant, "you could sing all the summer, and you also could dance all the winter. You only played and did not work during the summer. We'll never lend you any food." And the ants went on working.
