Quote
Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) was born in Ohio, the USA.
He was the first person to set foot on the moon. He retired from NASA shortly after his moonwalk. He maintained his reputation for quiet humility (谦虚) until the end of his life.

Quote
Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand. ---Neil Armstrong
神秘感激发好奇心，而好奇心则是人们探索未知事物的。---尼尔-阿姆斯特朗
How do you understand the quote
The photo is of the Jade Rabbit 2 rover (also Yutu 2 rover（探月车）) travelling on the moon, which was taken from the Chang’e 4 lander. China’s Chang’e 4 made a soft landing on the far side of the moon on 3 January 2019.

1. What can you see in the photo Who do you think took the photo
The Picutre looks like a photo of a rover on the moon. Perhaps it was taken by a robot camera.
Look and discuss
2. What do you know about the history and development of space exploration
I know that space exploration began in the mid-1950s with the development of satellites, and that people first started going to space in the early 1960s

Talk about how to become an astronaut
Before Listening
Can you name any famous astronauts from China or abroad
Yuri Gagarin
Neil Armstrong
Yang Liwei
Before Listening
In America, preference for selecting astronauts was originally for test pilots or military pilots,because they were among the most elite (出类拔萃的) pilots the nation had, and because they were in excellent physical shape. While it is no longer a requirement for astronauts to be pilots, generally they must be the very elite in their scientific fields and must still be in very good physical shape.
Do you know anything about the selection procedure for astronauts Make a list of the possible requirements.

听力原文
Interviewer: Today we are very pleased to chat with Mr Yang Liwei, the first Chinese astronaut.Welcome to the show,Mr Yang.
Mr Yang: Thank you.
Interviewer: Mr Yang, our audience is very curious about how you succeeded in becoming China's first astronaut. It must have been a very difficult thing to achieve. Did you always want to be an astronaut
Mr Yang: Yes, I dreamt of it when I was young, but I never thought my wish would come true. It took a long time. First, I got my college degree when I was 22, and then I worked as a fighter pilot for around 10 years.I finally became China's first astronaut when I was 38 years old.
Interviewer: Oh, so you must be a really experienced pilot. Do you think that was one of the reasons why you were chosen for the space programme
Mr Yang: Sure, I had 1,350 hours of flight experience, which I think really helped me.

Interviewer: So how difficult was it to join the space programme
Mr Yang: There was a lot of competition. Altogether, 14 of us were chosen from among 1,500 pilots to train for space flights.
Interviewer: That sounds really difficult.Did you also have to be a certain size and weight Mr Yang: Yes, at the time, you had to be shorter than 172 centimetres in height and weigh less than 70 kilograms. You also had to be in perfect health and perfect shape.
Interviewer: So you were the perfect choice! As we all know,an astronaut needs to be healthy and calm in order to work in space. But you also had to study a lot, too, right
Mr Yang: Yes, I had to learn English, science, and astronomy. I also had to practise using space equipment, and do a lot of mental and physical training.It was very tiring, but I was so proud to have the opportunity.
Post Listening
5. Work in pairs. Discuss whether you would like to be an astronaut in the future and give your reasons. Use what you have learnt from the interview to help you.
Post Listening
A: You know, I think being an astronaut would be cool.
B: Do you want to work in space in the future
A: I'm not sure,but I think it might be too difficult for me. There are so many requirements. First of all, you must be intelligent enough to get a related college degree. Then you have to be a pilot with years of training and practise flying. Finally, you must be really physically fit.
B: So what might be the most difficult part for you
A: I guess it might be the space travel itself. I'm sure being weightless must be fun, and it would be wonderful to see the Earth and stars from space.But the spacesuit and capsule look terribly small and uncomfortable.It would be hard to stay in such a small space for so long. Also, there's no privacy at all. What if I have to go to the restroom
B: I see what you mean.

Pronunciation
Pronunciation
句子重音(stress)和节奏(rhythm)。
英语重音分为词重音(word stress)和语句重音(sentencestress)。
英语句子中需要重读的词包括：名词(包括专有名词)、动词、形容词、大多数副词、数词、动词-ing形式、过去分词、双音节介词、特殊疑问词、指示代词等;
不需要重读的词主要是冠词、代词、be动词、单音节介词、连词、助词、关系代词和关系副词等。不过，在某些情形下，为了表达特定的意义，一些通常无须重读的词也会出现重读。例如：
Carla invited ME to her party.(not YOU)
Carla invited me to HER party.(not YOUR party)
Pronunciation
英语语言的节奏以重音为基础，通过重读和非重读音节(stressed and unstressed syllables)有规律地交替出现形成，各个重读音节之间的时长大体相等。
在朗读时将每两个重读音节之间所有部分的时长保持大体一致，而不是每个英文单词的时长一样。同时，结合弱读、失去爆破、连读等技巧，缩短非重读音节的时长。
