When China's astronaut Zhai Zhigang carried out the spacewalk on September 27, he was wearing a spacesuit developed by Chinese scientists. Being worth more than 30 million yuan, the Feitian (飞天) spacesuit is not {#blank#}1{#/blank#}ordinary one.

    It {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（take）Chinese scientists four years to develop it. But what is special about the suit? First Let's take a look at why{#blank#}3{#/blank#}（astronaut） need to wear spacesuits.

    When you visit a world with little or no atmosphere, not{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(wear) a spacesuit, the following things would happen:

    You would become unconscious within 15 seconds because there is no oxygen.

    Your blood and body fluids(液体) would “boil” and then “freeze” {#blank#}5{#/blank#} there is little or no air pressure.

    You would receive various types of radiation.

    You could{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(hit) by dust or rock that moves at high speeds.

So, to protect you{#blank#}7{#/blank#}these dangers, a spacesuit must:

    Have a pressurized atmosphere;

    Give you oxygen;

    Keep a(n) {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(comfort) temperature;

    Let you see clearly and move easily.

    The Feitian suit did all that and what it {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（do）made it like a mini-spaceship in{#blank#}10{#/blank#}the astronaut stayed alive in outer space and carried out tasks.

    This weekend I was delighted to show my parents around Seville, as they {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(come) for a short but sweet visit. Although the weather wasn't the best, we still made {#blank#}2{#/blank#} best of our time together.

    Being reunited with the people you love in a new place {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(bring) excitement. Showing them around the new city makes you{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (extraordinary) happy. For example, as Seville is known for flamenco (弗拉门科舞), I took them to see a famous {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(perform) my friends recommended to me, which gave us such a wonderful visual feast. Furthermore, getting to show your visitors the places {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (appeal) to you is a pleasant feeling, because you are eager to let them know where you love to spend your time. You are letting them get involved{#blank#}7{#/blank#} your new life. Also you have the opportunity{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (show) your beloved ones the new places that they may fall in love with.

    So, after a two-day trip, I feel pleased to have had the time to explore those {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(attraction) with my parents. I am already looking forward to their next visit {#blank#}10{#/blank#}I can show them more of what Seville offers and what I am still yet to discover.

Elias' Story

    Elias, a poor worker in South Africa, said that the time {#blank#}1{#/blank#} he first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of his life. In 1952, he went to see Nelson Mandela, a black lawyer for advice. Mandela was generous with his time, for{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Elias was very grateful.

    He began school at six, but he had to leave school two years later {#blank#}3{#/blank#} his family couldn't afford the school fees and the bus fare.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} a result, he had very little education. After {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (try) hard, he got a job in a gold mine. However, to live in Johannesburg, one had got to have a passbook. Not having one, because he was not born there, he worried about{#blank#}6{#/blank#} he would become out of work.

    Then Mandela helped him, telling him how to get the correct papers {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (stay) in Johannesburg. He became more hopeful about his future and later joined the ANC Youth League {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(organize) by Mandela. Just as Mandela put it, the blacks were so badly treated that they had reached a stage {#blank#}9{#/blank#} they had almost no rights at all.

    In 1963, he helped Mandela blow up some government buildings. He knew that only by answering violence {#blank#}10{#/blank#} violence could they achieve their dream of making black and white people equal.

    Beijing's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (forbid)City—traditionally off-limits at night for anyone except emperors—was lit up with lanterns after dark Tuesday as China {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (celebrate)the end of the Lunar New Year holiday.

    The palace complex, home to Chinese emperors for five centuries, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (usual)closes by 5 p.m. though some distinguished guests have been taken {#blank#}4{#/blank#} after dark on occasion. It was opened at night for the first time since its rebirth as the Palace Museum 94 years ago.

    The palace walls were brightened with red Chinese lanterns—designed to recreate the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(feel)of the royal court of old—and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} light show lit up the complex while the China National Traditional Orchestra and the Peking Opera performed. An image of a treasured picture called “A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains” was beamed onto the palace roof.

    People rushed to get free {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (ticket)online, for the rare night-time opening, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} were snapped up within minutes.

    “Creativity makes the 600-year-old palace younger and draws traditional culture{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(close)to the public, ”said the People's Daily. The Palace Museum is now on a campaign {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(attract)even more visitors.

How Steven Spielberg Stays Inspired

    Ask a young person who the greatest American film director is, and you may get the answer Steven Spielberg, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} has certainly made more successful films than any other director in the West.

    Spielberg was born in America in 1946. What he impressed others most was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} he had unusual abilities when he was very young: completing his first 15-minute home movie at 13. He earned $100 at the age of 16, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} he made a 135-minute home movie called Firelight and it was shown at a local cinema.

    A Hollywood film studio employed Spielberg to make a full-length film Sugarland Express on discovering his talent for movie-making. His next film was Jaws, a film about a shark that ate people. This was one of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (successful) films of all times. He received the Award for lifetime achievement at the Golden Globes (金球奖) in 2009.

    Despite all his outstanding achievements in his field, some of his films have been less successful in the last fifteen years. But people can never deny the fact {#blank#}5{#/blank#} he, more than anyone else in the history of films, understands the meaning of the word "entertainment".

    Now, Spielberg's role as a father of seven has taught him a great deal about {#blank#}6{#/blank#} makes a good story—at bedtime and otherwise. When his kids were growing up, he'd tell them stories every night {#blank#}7{#/blank#} he could stay active in film-making.

    "In the past few years, I {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (inspire) by everybody who makes a good movie," Spielberg said." "I can't risk {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (lose) my followers' passion for film." Also, he owes (归因) his success to his attempt {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (keep) working and so he looks to his contemporaries (同时代的人) for that kind of ... current inspiration.
