Want to be an astronaut?Then“study hard,stay healthy and have perseverance”!
This is what Chinese astronauts Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng said in Hong Kong.Fei,Nie and leading engineers of Shenzhou VI visited Hong Kong from November 27 to 30,2010.
They talked with primary,secondary and college students.Kids were interested in the astronauts' space lives.They asked questions like “Did you see the Great Wall from space?”Fei and Nie said they didn't see the Great Wall.But they felt excited when they passed over China,including Taiwan.The Taiwan Island looks very beautiful,like jade.
Young people wanted to know how the astronauts developed(发展)their careers(职业).“How did you decide to be astronauts when China's space industry is still at the beginning?”spoke a young woman.The astronauts said it was because of their love of flight and the need of the nation.They said their love of flight could be seen from their children's names.Nie's daughter is named Nie Tianxiang,which means“flying up high”.Fei's son is called“Fei Di”,which sounds like“Feidie”,meaning UFO.
Give Directions in Different Places
If you ask people of different countries "Could you tell me the way to the post office?", you will get different answers.
In Japan, people use landmarks(路标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} The post office is across from the bus stop.
In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say,"Go north two miles. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} "
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, "Follow me." {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Sometimes if a person doesn't know the answer to your question, he or she,like a New Yorker,might say,"Sorry,I have no idea."But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know." {#blank#}4{#/blank#}They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!
