阅读理解

    1970 was World Conservation (保护) Year. The UN wanted everyone to know that the world was in danger. They hoped something could be done.

    Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were about 1,300 kinds of plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only about 866 are left. The others have been destroyed by modern people and their science. We are polluting earth, air, water and everything around us. We can't live without these things. If things go on like this, we shall destroy ourselves.

    What will happen in the future? Perhaps it's more important to ask "What must we do?". More and more young people have known this. Many of them are helping to save our Earth. For example, they plant trees. In a small town in the United States, a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometres of their river. Young people may hear about conversation through an album called "No One's Gonna Change Our World". It includes songs of Cliff Richard and other singers. The money from selling it will help to conserve tigers, elephants and pandas on Earth.

Online classes in space got lots of attention among Chinese students. The "classroom" in space station is about 400 kilometres away from the earth. The space classes make the young proud of our country. As a special "teacher", Wang Yaping is regarded as (看作)"the most beautiful astronaut(宇航员). 

Wang Yaping was born in a small village in Shandong in 1980. She studied hard all those years. She was good at all subjects, especially sports. Luckily, in 1997, she was accepted by Changchun Flight Academy. 

Wang's space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told herself, "China now has a male astronaut. When will there be a female one?" At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army. After having safe flights (飞行)for 1, 600 hours during nine years in the training centre, Wang was a strong candidate (候选人)to become an astronaut in 2010. In 2013, Wang realized her space dream. She was sent to space by Shenzhou— 10. She joined the team of Shenzhou— 13 in 2021 and flew into the space for the second time. 

However, it is difficult to be an astronaut. She has to experience a lot of pain that most people can't stand and keep training all the time. Wang Yaping told Xinhua, "The space environment won't change because you are a woman. " She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men, including the pull— ups and barbells(杠铃). That finally made her dream come true. 

"You are on the way to success as long as you stick to your dreams, " Wang Yaping said. She set a good example to the young. Millions of students are encouraged and inspired(受鼓舞)by the most beautiful astronaut.

①Jiyou Village in Guizhou Province is famous for its ancient trees and beautiful folk songs. The village is full of Miao culture, and forests cover most of its land. Because of its rich culture, Jiyou Village was included in the List of China's Traditional Villages in August 2013.

②One of the most important events in Jiyou Village is the Bridge Worship Festival(祭桥节). It is celebrated on the second day of the second lunar month. During this festival, the Miao people take an active part in the joyful preparations, cooking traditional dishes, making wine, and practicing their traditional songs and dances.

③When the festival approaches, the village becomes lively, with villagers dressing up in colorful Miao clothes. Men play the lushing, a traditional musical instrument, while women carry baskets filled with delicious food and wine. The children, dressed in their best clothes, can hardly wait for the fun to begin.

④The highlight of the festival is the bridge worship ceremony(仪式). Villagers come together under the guidance of the elders to honor the bridge and celebrate their heritage(传统).

⑤Many tourists come to experience the traditional festival. During the daytime celebrations, the village square is filled with the happy music of the lushing as villagers and visitors dance together. Tourists take pictures and make videos to remember the special moments.

⑥As night falls, villagers and tourists gather around a bonfire(篝火) in the square. They laugh and chat while sharing stories and delicious food. It's a great time to make new friends and enjoy the warm atmosphere(气氛).
