阅读理解

    Being born during the Great Depression (萧条) , as the middle of seven children to a carpenter's family, was not a "silver spoon" experience, but I am one well blessed in life.

    Our family had a large garden, raised two pigs each year for their meat, and had a family cow for our milk. During the Depression, Dad out of work, we started to do some washing for the neighborhood, employing up to seven girls at one time, and farming 12 acres of nearby land to earn a few extra dollars.

    I was blessed with good teachers to help with my learning. After graduating from college, I spent two years in the army, allowing me to see Europe and build on life's experiences. I returned home, got a job in the local bank, married my sweetheart, and thought I was on my way to a normal lifestyle.

    I was called back into the army when they built the Berlin Wall, just six months after completing my tour of duty in Germany. That too, turned out to be a blessing, as I hadn't worked long enough at the bank to begin health insurance.

    A year later I returned home to work at the bank again. I worked my way up through the ranks to become CEO before retiring at the end of 1997. I was blessed to have had good employers and employees in my work. I've been blessed to have a devoted wife and wonderful children and grandchildren.

    Today, I look back on those great experiences and see they were my possibilities to grow.

    Times taught me to save for a rainy day, to help those less fortunate than me, to put others first, and the joy of being a volunteer.

Almost all of us have had a flag raising experience.Hold it,then raise it.It's so easy.But doing so on the moon can be really difficult. 

There is no air on the moon,which leads to the first problem with flag raising—there's no wind to keep the flag flying. 

In the earlier Chang'e missions,the national flag of China was painted on the surface of the moon landers and rovers(月球着陆器和月球车).In the Chang'e-5 mission,a special flag display system was invented.Since the Chang'e-5 didn't carry an astronaut to the moon,the work had to be done by a robotic arm.Researchers worked hard to make the display system weigh only 1 kilogram. The material of the flag is also a big problem.Normal flags on the earth would be broken or even destroyed quickly on the moon because of the radiation from the sun and huge temperature differences during the day and night. 

It took the researchers more than a year to find the ideal material.It was developed by Professor Xu Weilin and his team from Wuhan Textile University.It could help the flag keep its color and shape in the environment on the surface of the moon. 

The scene of the five-star red flag against the dark sky on the surface of the moon was taken by a camera on the lander and then sent back to the earth.Every Chinese was amazed at the history-making moment(时刻).At the same time,we should also know and remember the teams behind this great effort.

It's 6:00 p. m. Kate's family are having dinner. There is rice, eggs, salads, strawberries and some vegetables like tomatoes, onions and carrots on the table. But Kate doesn't like vegetables. She doesn't want to eat them and puts her bo wl away.

" Kate," says her father.

" Where are my hamburgers?" asks Kate.

" Don't think about them. We need to eat healthily," says Mom.

" How about some ice- cream, then?" asks Kate.

" Kate," Dad calls her name again. He thinks the dinner is nice.

Kate takes a bite(咬一口) of the tomato and quickly spits(吐出) it back into the bowl.

" Kate! Room! Now!" says Dad. He doesn't like her bad eating habits.

Kate runs to her room and cries, but she soon stops. Usually, her parents will get her some other food she likes if she doesn't eat dinner. So she waits.

At about 7:00 p. m., Mom tries to get Kate to eat some vegetables, but she says no.

At 9:00 p. m., Kate wants to eat something, but her parents still don't give her anything to eat.

At 10:00 p. m., Kate goes to the kitchen and sees some vegetables on the table. They don't look so bad. And you know what? They don't taste so bad, either.

Kate learns that she should eat health y food and live a healthy life.

Harbin is the capital (首都) city of Heilongjiang. Many people like Harbin because of its winter tourism (旅游). Last winter, people talked a lot about Harbin on the Internet.

To make visitors feel welcome, Harbin did a lot of things. At the airport (机场), there were shows to watch. And visitors could get warm clothes to wear in dressing rooms. Local (当地的) people also helped a lot. When they were not busy, they went out to give free rides to visitors. When some tourists couldn't find hotels, the local government (政府) let visitors stay in their service center at a low price.

Many of the tourists were from southern China. It doesn't snow very often there. They dressed themselves like potatoes and many of them are shorter than the people in Heilongjiang. So the local people called them "southern little potatoes". The nickname (绰号) quickly became popular on the Internet. The tourists liked the nickname and shared their warm experiences of Harbin. A girl left a note at the hotel, saying, "This southern little potato is leaving. Harbin is so beautiful. The people are so friendly. I can't wait to come back again. Yours, southern little potato." After people saw this note online, "the southern little potato is leaving" became a hot topic, and more and more people shared their trips.

Come to Harbin and experience the wonder of ice and snow this winter!
