A Giant Leap for China
A few days ago, he was just Colonel(上校) Yang; few people knew his name or recognized his face. But
last Thursday, when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space, Yang Liwei"s smile was seen
across the world above the magic words:"China"s first spaceman".
The 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9 a.m. Last Wednesday by China"s Shenzhou Ⅴ
spacecraft, which orbited the earth 14 times. He landed safely at 6:23 a.m. The next day, making China the
third country successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the US.
Yang was satisfied with his job."I have seen many landing scenes before on video, and I think ours was
one of the most successful," He said on a special plane to Beijing after landing. Born into an ordinary family in
Liaoning Province, he became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force in 1987,spending 1350 hours in the air. He joined
the Chinese space programme 11 years later.
While in space, Yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing China"s national flag and the United
Nations" flag to the people watching on TV at home. He also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice, before
taking a 3-hour nap. The whole project went according to plan, but space exploration is not as easy as it seems.
Anyone who saw the destruction of the US space shuttle Columbia in February this year will know that
Yang took a great risk.
He experienced extremely high temperatures, while the gravitation (重力) on take-off and landing were
strong enough to force tears from his eyes.
He has spent five years training to become a spaceman.
"I eat all of my meals at the space programme"s dinning room and have never been able to take my son to
kindergarten," he said."I"ve never met his teachers."
But becoming China"s first spaceman has made all the effort worthwhile. "When I boarded the spacecraft
for the first time,I couldn"t help feeling excited," he said."I decided that I had to fly it."
To Chinese people, Yang is now a hero. One visitor to a Xinhua news agency online forum(网上论坛)said,
"Yang"s trip is a giant leap forward for China."
Officials say the next Shenzhou will be launched by 2005.China also plans to develop spacewalking and a
space lab. |

COLUMBUS, Ohio-The heart operation taking place in the pale-green operating room at the Ohio State
University Medical Center was unusual. The patient, a 62-year-old man, was made to sleep, tied with blue
drapes (消毒帷帘) and lying face up on a narrow table. But no one was touching him.
Instead, the operation was being performed by a robot, whose three metal arms went through pencil-sized
holes in the man"s chest. At the ends of the robot"s arms were tiny metal fingers, with turning wrists, which
held tiny instruments, a light and a camera. The robot"s arms and fingers were controlled by Dr. Randall K.
Wolf, sitting at a computer in a corner of the operating room about 20 feet away.
This sort of operation, heart surgeons say, is the start of what may be the biggest change in their profession
since heart bypass surgery (心脏搭桥手术) began nearly 30 years ago. "The reason we make cuts is that we
have big hands," said Dr. Wolf, the director of the surgery at Ohio State. The robot"s dainty fingers, no longer
than a nail on the small finger, at the end of the long sticks could work better.
Eventually, surgeons believe, most heart surgery will be done by robots whose arms are put in through
pencil-sized holes punched in patients" chests. Instead of directly staring into a patient"s body, surgeons will
view magnified images of the operation on computer screens. In theory, the doctor would not have to be in the
same room, or even the same country, as the patient. |

A. small
B. weak
C. fat
D. quick |
| 2. According to the passage, the reason that most operations require large cuts is that ____. |
A. patients have large organs
B. surgeons have large hands
C. large cuts take less time
D. large cuts cost less money |
| 3. The main idea of this passage is that heart surgery by robots ____. |
A. is quicker than surgery done by doctors
B. was developed at Ohio State University
C. is a new and risky procedure
D. may replace surgery done by doctors |
| 4. Based on the information in this passage, all of the following conclusions are true EXCEPT ____. |
A. all doctors at Ohio State develop new surgical techniques
B. robot surgery is. being developed at Ohio State
C. robot surgery will be used on many patients in the near future
D. many hospitals will eventually offer robot surgery to patients |
