On October 17,2016 the Shenzhou-11 manned spaceship was sent into space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in Gansu. Two days later the spaceship successfully connected with the space laboratory Tiangong-2. It meant China got closer to its plan of building a space station in 2020.

The spaceship took two Chinese astronauts to space this time. Jing Haipeng was an experienced astronaut who flew on Shenzhou-7 in 2008 and Shenzhou-9 in 2012. But it was Chen Dong's first space flight.

Jing and Chen were given a 30-day task on Tiangong-2. They tested new technology and did experiments to prepare for future space station tasks. The astronauts themselves were also the subject(对象) of those experiments. The life support devices(设备) they used and how they lived inside the space laboratory were studied. No Chinese astronaut had stayed in space for that long before.

A month-long space task was not easy, so Chinese scientists and engineers had come up with lots of new technologies to allow astronauts to stay more safely and more comfortably in space.

One of the new technologies tested during this task was a device called "space hospital". The space hospital was two little silver boxes tied around the two astronauts' legs. Through the "space hospital", scientists and doctors on the Earth could watch the astronauts' heart rate and temperature. When the astronauts felt tired, the "space hospital" could even massage(为……按摩) them.

After this task, China is expected to send an unmanned cargo spaceship(无人货运飞船) in mid-April next year. It will dock with Tiangong-2 and take new fuel to the space laboratory.

（1）、The spaceship docked with the space laboratory Tiangong-2 on _______.

A、October 17 B、October 19 C、November 19 D、November 20

（2）、How many times has Jing Haipeng been to space?

A、Once. B、Twice. C、Three times. D、Four times.

（3）、From this passage, we can learn that Jing and Chen stayed in the space laboratory for_____.

A、three days B、a month C、thirty-three days D、two months

（4）、What is the "space hospital" used for?

A、Protecting astronauts' safety B、Watching the astronauts' heart rate and temperature C、Massaging the astronaut D、All the above

（5）、Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A、China will build its own space station in 2020. B、In October, 2016 Chen Dong took his first space flight. C、The two astronauts themselves did experiments in space. D、In 2020 another cargo spaceship will take new fuel to the space laboratory.

    Charles Dickens is a great British writer in the 19th century. Most of his books are still popular even today.
    In 1812, Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth, England. Dickens didn't like playing with other boys when he was a little child, but he loved reading books. Childhood was not easy for Dickens. He began to work at a factory at the age of 12. Every day, he spent 10 hours washing bottles and cleaning shoes.
    When Dickens was 16, he became a reporter for a newspaper. During that time, Dickens wrote his first book, The Pickwick Papers. The book came out in 1836-37 and made Dickens rich and famous. His hard times were at an end.
    Most of Dickens' books are about the difficulties of living in Victorian England. The characters（人物）in his books are often children. They usually live a hard life in a boarding（寄宿）school, or have to work in a factory at a young age.
    However, Dickens' works are all about hope. He wrote sad and dark stories, but they are always filled with humor（幽默）. And most of his stories have happy endings, as with A Christmas Carol. It is about a selfish man. He finds love and friendship after looking back on his life one Christmas Eve.

    Su Su is a 16-year-old Beijinger. She studies at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University. She has just published(发表) her first book, The Enigma of the Universe (《宇宙之谜》).
    The Enigma of the Universe tells a story of a girl called April. One day she meets an alien(外星人) boy named Kaka. Kaka takes April on a journey into the universe. Later April finds out a big secret about Kaka...
    What's special about this book? It's a book written in both Chinese and English.
    Su wrote the book when she was 14 years old. She was influenced（影响）by the book Sophie's World (《苏菲的世界》) and the movie The Truman Show (《楚门的世界》). Sophie is a girl who is interested in philosophy（哲学）. Truman's life is run by television.
    These stories gave Su an idea for her own book. She decided to write it in English.
    "My English teacher asked us to write something," says Su. "I thought I'd write about my idea."
    Su spent a whole summer vacation writing the story."Sometimes I had to stop because I couldn't find the right words," says Su. "I used the dictionary all the time."
    After finishing the English novel, Su had another idea. She decided to translate(翻译) it into Chinese. The job took her just a few days. "It was easy because Chinese is my native language (母语)," she says.
    Su says her story is "a mixture of philosophy (哲学) and detective (侦探) story and science fiction"."My classmates and I have turned it into a DV play," says Su. "I wrote the play and I played April. We will show it in our school soon!"

Our village carpenter（木匠）, John Hill, came one day and made a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill（账单）for his job.

My wife said to me quietly, “That's his ninth cup of tea today.” But she said in a loud voice, “It's a beautiful table, dear, isn't it?” “I'll decide about that when I see the bill,” I said. John laughed and gave me his bill for the work. I read:

One dining table 10^th November, 2011

Cost of wood ＄17.00

Paint ＄1.50

Work, 8 hours(＄1 an hour) ＄8.00

Total ＄36.50

When I was looking at the bill, John said, “It's been a fine day, hasn't it? Quite sunny.”

“Yes,” I said. “I'm glad it's only the 10^th of November.”

“Me, too,” said John, “you wait—it will be a lot colder by the end of the month.”

“Yes, colder—and more expensive! Dining tables will be ＄20 more expensive on November 30^th, won't they, John?”

John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his bill back to him.

“If it's not too much trouble, John,” I said, “please add it up again. You can forget the date…”

I paid him ＄26.50 and he was happy to get it.
