Apollo 11, carrying Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins, was launched on 16 July, 1969. Five days later they stepped down onto the moon.

Neil Armstrong

On the way there: Of all the wonderful views we had, the most impressive to me was on the way to the Moon when we flew through its shadow. We were still thousands of miles away, but close enough so that the Moon almost filled our window. The moon appeared blue-grey. It seemed almost as if it were showing us its roundness, its similarity in shape to our Earth, in a sort of welcome. I was sure it would be a hospitable（好客的） host. It had been waiting for its first visitors for a long time.

After touch down: The sky is black, you know. It’s a very dark sky, but it still seemed more like daylight than darkness as we looked out the window. It’s a very strange thing but the surface looked very warm and inviting. It seemed to be tan(棕褐色). It’s hard to explain that, because later when I held the material in my hand, it wasn’t tan at all. It was black, grey and so on.

Edwin Aldrin

On the Moon: The blue color of my boots has completely disappeared now into this soil—still don’t know what color to describe this other than grayish(灰色的) cocoa.

Back on board: The moon was a very natural and pleasant environment in which to work. On the Moon, in one-sixth gravity, you have a strong feeling of being somewhere. As we did our experiments, some objects we threw away would go in a slow, lazy manner.

64. What impressed Neil Armstrong most?

A. The moon filling their window.      

B. Seeing the shape of the moon

C. Flying through the shadow of the moon.

D. The five—day flight to the moon.

65. What did Armstrong find very strange on the moon?

A. The color of the sky.          B. The surface of the moon             

C. The gravity on the moon.       D. The daylight on the moon.

66. Edward Aldrin described the soil as ________.

A. tan        B. gray        C. black           D. grayish cocoa.  

67. What can be said about Edward Aldrin?      

A. He landed on the moon alone.

B. He was sent to the moon by Apollo 11.

C. He didn’t notice the gravity of the moon.

D. He found it impossible to work on the moon.

     This is a story from the Ming Dynasty period of China's history. There was a miner official called
Wan Hu, whose dream was to "fly to the moon". One day he tied himself to a chair with 47 "rockets"
and disappeared into the sky and was never seen again. Hundreds of years later in 1969, when US
astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped down from Apollo 11 and set his foot on the moon's surface, the
dream of Wan, as well as the rest of humankind was realized. To honor Wan, a crater (環(huán)形山) on
the far side of the moon is named after him.
   Mankind has been able to change the world for the better because there are people like Wan who
never stopped pursuing their dreams.
   "I have a dream!" American civil rights leader Martin Luther King once said. It was that dream that
helped black Americans to get equal legal rights.
   To realize his dream of feeding everyone in China, Yuan Longping worked in fields day and night
and invented hybrid rice that now feeds almost one quarter of the world's population.
   Dreams are important because they give us vision (遠(yuǎn)景). We grew great with them. They provide
direction for our life. With dreams we set goals and make plans, so we can change our present situation
for the better. And our dreams appeal to the likeminded. As individuals we are better off with
dreams-and so are our families, communities and society. Life would be dull without a dream.
   When we have a burning desire and we decided to go after it we are full of enthusiasm. As American
novelist Louisa May Alcott, who wrote Little Women said: "Far away there in the sunshine are my
highest aspirations". I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and
follow where they lead.

     (1)Our character, basically, is a mixture of our habits. "Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action,
reap a habit;________, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny (命運)," the maxim goes.
     (2)Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are  often unconscious patterns, they
constantly daily affect our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.
     (3)As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, "Habits are like a cable. We weave a rope of it
everyday and soon it cannot be broken." I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I
know habits can be learned and unlearned. But we also know it isn't a quick fix. It involves a process
and a tremendous effort.
     (4)Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were shocked as we saw the first men
walk on the moon and return to earth. But to get there, those astronauts had to break out of the
tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first
few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half million miles.
     (5)Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull- more than most people realize or would admit.
Breaking deeply developed habitual tendencies such as procrastination(拖延) , impatience, criticalness,
or selfishness that go against basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower
and a few minor changes in our lives. "Lift off" takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the
gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new situation.
     (6)Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our
habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps
our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force,
and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the order necessary to establish
effectiveness in our lives.
