Wang Yaping, a world famous Chinese name, is an astronaut, and a “space teacher” as well. Tiangong space station welcomed the first woman astronaut.
When China sent Yang Liwei, the first astronaut, into space in 2003, Wang Yaping’s space dream started. She told herself, “My motherland has a man astronaut now. It will be great if I am the first woman astronaut. How I hope to be an astronaut. I must try my best to make it!”
Wang was already a pilot in the Chinese army at that time. And after having safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang became a candidate（候选人） to be an astronaut in 2010. She did the same training as men. “The space environment will not change anything just because you are a woman,” she said. The most difficult is the high-G training. “You can see a red button there, and you can press it to stop training if you can’t bear it.” But Wang never used it. “In my heart there is no such a red button. If I press it I will not be a true astronaut.”
Finally, in June 2013 the great day came. She joined the team for the Shenzhou Ⅹ mission. She stayed in space for 15 days, and successfully gave a space class. On October 16, 2021, with the Shenzhou Ⅻ mission she became the first woman astronaut to enter Tiangong space station, and stayed in space for half a year with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu. The 41-year-old Chinese woman made history, and she gave two more space classes to students on the Earth, so wonderful and attractive. Catherine Coleman, a retired（退休的）NASA（美国航空航天局）astronaut, sent a greeting to Wang before the Shenzhou Ⅻ trip. Coleman said, “When you look out of the window and see the stars and the Earth, billions of women will be looking out that window with you.”
It was not a short and easy way before Wang Yaping became the first woman to enter the Tiangong space station. It is a good example for all of us. Whatever the difficult is, never give up, and you will get over it at last.
21．Wang Yaping’s dream was to be _________.
A．a teacher B．a doctor C．an astronaut
22．Wang Yaping was born in _________.
A．1980 B．1990 C．2003
23．Pressing the red button in the high-G training _________.
A．can make the training go better
B．can help the trainer stop training
C．means the trainer is not a true astronaut
24．How many space lessons did Wang Yaping give
A．One. B．Two. C．Three.
25．How long has Wang Yaping stayed in space as an astronaut
A．More than a year. B．Over 190 days. C．Six months.
B
“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Marie says “Have a nice day!” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out of the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say, “Oh, you just had a tooth out I’m terribly sorry but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day!” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
26．How does the author understand Marie’s words
A．Marie shows her anxiety to the author.
B．Marie really wishes the author a good day.
C．Marie encourages the author to stay happy.
D．Marie really worries about the author’s security.
27．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean
A．The salesgirl is rude.
B．The salesgirl is bored.
C．The salesgirl cares about me.
D．The salesgirl says the words as a routine.
28．By saying “Have a nice day!”, a stranger may ________.
A．try to be polite to you
B．express respect to you
C．give his blessing to you
D．share his pleasure with you
29．According to the last paragraph, people say “Have a nice day!” ________.
A．sincerely B．as thanks C．as a habit D．encouragingly
30．What is the best title of the passage
A．Have a Nice Day-a Social Custom
B．Have a Nice Day-a Pleasant Gesture
C．Have a Nice Day-a Heart-warming Greeting
D．Have a Nice Day-a Polite Ending of a Conversation
