    Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone in space exploration. On Jan 3, Chang'e 4 became the first space probe in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon, People's Daily reported.
    From Earth, we can only see one side of the moon. The other side has been a mystery. Scientists have long wondered what lies on this side of the moon.

    Chang'e 4 has sent back photos of the far side of the moon. It is also being used to carry out experiments, such as growing seeds in a low-gravity environment. The data collected from these experiments could be used to help us build a base on the moon in the future.
    The success of the Chang'e 4 mission is a major achievement for China's space program. It marks a new stage in China's deep space exploration, said Wu Yanhua, deputy head of China National Space Administration.
    China launched its lunar exploration program in 2004, naming it Chang'e. Chinese scientists set three goals—"orbiting, landing and sample returning" – referring to launching probes that could circle around the moon, touch down on its surface and bring lunar materials back to Earth.
    Chang'e 4 has realized the second goal. The third will be achieved during the Chang'e 5 mission , which is set to take place before the end of this year, China Daily reported.
    Following the success of the Chang'e missions, Chinese scientists are looking even farther into our solar system. China's first Mars mission is expected to be carried out by 2020, Wu said.
    In addition to the first-ever soft landing on the far side of the moon, the Chang'e 4 mission has achieved many other firsts. One of them is international cooperation and joint exploration. The experiments will provide valuable data for the scientists.

Have you ever read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland(《爱丽丝梦游仙境》)yet? It is a 1 written by English writer Lewis Carroll in 1865. It 2 a story about a girl named Alice. She falls down a rabbit(兔子)hole and drops into a strange 3 . As she travels through the land, she 4 many characters and goes on adventures with them together.

After I read the book in the sixth grade for the first time, I became a big 5 of it. I like the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and the White Rabbit very much. And I have already 6 the book to some of my friends. Although I have already read the book twice, I still have great interest in it now. Each time I finish a(n)7 , I can't wait to read the next one.

8 , the book is almost a collection of short stories. In each chapter(章节), some new characters 9 . However, Alice's adventures 10 all the characters together at the end of the book. I think 11 should read the book at least once in his life. No matter what year it is or how old you are, Alice's adventures will never become 12 .

Ever since the book 13 , it has been popular all over the world. It was even made into a film in 2010. The film, of course, was also a great 14 . Millions of people went to the cinema to 15 it. In 2016, the second film Alice Through the Looking Glass caught people's eye as well.

Chinese dumplings are one of the traditional foods in China. They look like ancient Chinese gold ingots(锭), which mean"rich". Chinese dumplings were first invented(发明) by Zhang Zhongjing in the Han Dynasty. He first used them for medical purposes(目的). Zhang used dumplings with mutton(羊肉) for the patients'ear chilblain. 

As time went by, dumplings became popular in the north of China, and now making dumplings on New Year's Eve has become a Chinese tradition. On New Year's Eve, family members get together to make dumplings. They may put a coin(硬币) in one of the dumplings. If someone eats the coin, he or she will have the best luck in the coming new year. Chinese dumplings are also popular in other Chinese holidays or festivals. 

In the past, people couldn't often eat dumplings because they were very poor. But now Chinese people are richer and richer, so we can eat dumplings at any time. 

Almost everyone in China likes dumplings. There are many kinds of fillings in dumplings, such as dumplings with meat and vegetables, and some with sugar, eggs and seafood. I like dumplings with vegetables and pork better than any other kind, especially eating them with vinegar. 

Making dumplings is a teamwork. People usually make dumplings at home. If you have no time to make dumplings, you can buy them from any supermarket. But on Chinese lunar New Year's Eve, making dumplings with family members means happiness and reunion. And now many foreigners also like Chinese dumplings. They eat dumplings and even learn to make dumplings. 

I hope dumplings will be loved by people all over the world.
