At 9 a.m. on October 15, 2003, our country launched(发射) its first manned(有人的) space-ship, Shenzhou V, into space at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Province.

“I’m feeling very good in space, and it looks wonderful here,” said Yang, “I have looked at our beautiful earth and I have recorded all that I have seen here.”
China has become the third country in the world to send a person into space after the former Soviet Union(前苏联) and the United States. China is now planning its next launch. Shenzhou VI will be into space within(在……之内) the next years, it may take three astronauts. We are all proud of our motherland.

There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a color film about them, or you can read travel books.
It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) idea of travels which the writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective( 客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called "a guide" to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind, they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.
Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eye on its date of publication(出版) because travel is a very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it's easy to find the useful information for your travel.
( ) 4. This passage was written to introduce_________.
A. travel maps B. travel books C. travel films D. travel places
( ) 5. The writer of the first kind of travel books gave his ideas after he______.
A. traveled B. read books C. watched films D. surfed the Internet
( ) 6. The underlined phrase "a cultured person" means a person with ________.
A. a good appearance B. a good education
C. a lot of experience D. a lot of money
( ) 7. The date of publication must be noticed because
A. the prices of travel books may be different
B. the writers of travel books may be different
C. the information in travel books is always the same
D. the information in travel books is always changing
( ) 8. According to the passage, it is best to read _________ before traveling to a place of interest.

One day, the emperor heard about this little bird’s beautiful voice. He asked his guards to bring her to him. As soon as the emperor heard the nightingale’s voice, he said,“Put her in a golden cage, so she can stay and sing for me whenever I want to hear her.”

Dear Eric,
You wanted to know about Chinese paper-cutting. Here I’m glad to tell you something about it. Chinese paper-cutting has a long history of over 2,000 years. It can be seen in different parts of China. Many people, no matter young or old, are fond of it. People in northern part of China do well in making paper-cuts. People cut paper into different shapes, like birds, fish, flowers and so on. I think Chinese paper-cuts are not only beautiful but also very useful. People usually put them on doors or windows when they celebrate something happy, especially for the Spring Festival. More and more people are interested in it. I hope you’ll come to China to see more Chinese paper-cuts one day.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Ming
