China launched Shenzhou Ⅱ on January 10, 2001, carrying microbes and several small animals. It returned to the (地球) on January 16. It is the first formal (正式的) unmanned spaceship of China.

The latest (新闻) is that China has successfully launched China's Shenzhou XI, carrying two astronauts Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong.
Last weekend, I went to my grandparents' home in a small village. When I the village, I saw many colorful trees along the streets. It was world of yellow, red and brown. There were different of fruit trees, such as apples trees, pear trees, orange trees and so . When I was a child, I usually climbed those trees and the fruit by myself. Then I just sat on the trees and ate the fruit, I didn't wash it. That's why I can climb trees so well.
In the afternoon, I saw a large field when I walked around the . Farmers were busy working in the fields. Thanks to , people can have rice, fruit and vegetables every day. In the evening, when I had a walk in the fields, I could breathe the and clean air. Life in a village is really simple.

Stephen Hawking was born on January 8th, 1942. (作为) a boy, he was interested in some questions, such as "How did the (宇宙) begin How will it end "
When he was 21, he suffered from a serious (疾病). He couldn't speak or walk. He couldn't feed and get in or out of bed (他自己). Even he had no way to communicate except by blinking. But he (拒绝) to give in to the situation. Hawking once said, " (还，尚) it hasn't stopped me from being successful at my work." Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book A Brief History of Time. It sold more than 5.5 million (本，份) in 33 different languages. He is considered to be the greatest scientist in history (自从) Albert Einstein. He was once invited to China, he impressed us with his self-confidence and (幽默的) conversation.
On March 14, he died at 76 in Cambridge, UK. Maybe one of (明亮的) stars of the scientific sky went dark, but his spirit lives on.
How many things can you see in the night sky A lot! But scientists believe there are some things we will never see, like black holes, one of the most popular (项目) about the universe.
An (国际的) team of scientists announced it had taken the first picture of a black hole. Harverd University scientist Sheperd Doeleman has (领导) the research since it started. He said that the new picture (提供) strong evidence to support Albert Einstein's theories. It showed the black hole having a dark center, with a (明亮的) orange and yellow ring around. It is about 6.5 billion times greater than the (太阳的) system.
He said he felt pleased with the picture, because black holes are areas in space where gravity is so strong that nothing—not even (光) —can run away from them, which makes it really hard to take the picture. So researchers finally (创造) an Earth-sized "virtual telescope" to get the highest possible picture qulity.
However, there are still a lot of things that we didn't discover (还,尚). And we are not sure (是否) we are alone in the universe or not. So next time when you look up at the night sky, remember: there's more in the sky than meets the eye!

InSight was planned to spend about one Martian year on the planet. So far, it has been there for over 4 months, and it (spend) the next 20 months there. (it) main job is to stand on one place and dig deep inside Mars. This way, it can collect data (数据) that could probably (tell) us how Mars formed. This data may also help (science) learn more about the origins (起源) of Earth."
"We're digging into Mars, that's because we want to (well) understand not just Mars, but Earth itself." Bruse Banerdt from NASA said to ReuteRs.
In Sight is a pioneer (先锋) for future studies of Mars. NASA wants to send (astronaut) to Mars by the mid-2030s, according to NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine.
The earth moves round the sun, and the moon moves the earth. When our part of the earth turns to the sun, it is . When our part of the earth is from the sun, it is night.
The sun is much than the moon. But sometimes the moon looks bigger than the sun, because it is much to the earth. The sun is very l bright. It gives very light. The moon looks quite bright, too, but it doesn't give any at all. The light from the moon comes from the sun. The moon looks much bigger and than the stars. But in the stars are bigger and brighter than the moon. They look smaller than the moon because they are much away from the earth.
Climbing beyond your fears
Imagine looking up and seeing a high wall of rock going hundreds of meters into the air.
You take a deep breath and start climbing. You put your hands, feet and knees in small holes and slowly climb to the top. Your body gets tired as you go (high), but you keep climbing up. You try to forget about the fear (恐惧) until you succeed in (reach) the top.
While rock climbing really is a dangerous sport, most people use ropes to protect (them). The ropes will catch you if you fall. But others, like 31-year-old US climber Alex Honnold, make rock climbing crazier.
Honnold made a great (achieve) this month when he climbed one of the world's most famous cliffs (悬崖). E1 Capitan in California, US, is 914 meters high. Honnold climbed it ropes or even a helmet (头盔). If he slipped (踩滑) and fell, he would have died.
Not everyone that does rock climbing is as crazy as Honnold. Many do it safely, even on special indoor (wall). It is a great way to build strength and exercise your body. According to The Huffington Post, working out the best way to climb up a wall also (develop) your problem solving skills.
But Honnold says most climbers do it for the same reason. "I think sport makes you very powerful (有力量的) on the inside," he told The Huffington Post. "It makes you brave enough to deal with life's other (challenge) well."
