話題鏈接:China's First Spaceman Yang Liwe
With a Long March-II-F carrier rocket(運載火箭)pushing Shenzhou Ⅴ into the orbit some 300 kilometers away from the Earth Wednesday morning, Yang Liwei, 38, turns out to be China's first astronaut in space.
At 9 am Wednesday(Beijing time), Yang, aboard Shenzhou Ⅴ white in color, took off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on the Gobi desert in northwest China's Gansu province.
He is expected to land somewhere on central Inner Mongolia grassland at 7 a.m.Thursday, after orbiting the earth 14 times.Yang will be traveling some 500 000 kilometers in space in 21 hours, a “traveler's record” in the world's most populous nation with a 5000-year-old civilization(文明).
When Shenzhou-5 entered orbit on schedule, the ground command center received a message sent by Yang from outer space, saying that “everything goes smoothly”.His name, however, had remained unknown until 5 am Wednesday.At 5 am sharp Wednesday, Yang was seen waving his hands to a group of journalists from inside a glass-shielded(有防護玻璃的)room at the Jiuquan launch center, with two other astronauts sitting beside him as “backups”.Yang, who looked calm, found himself in a shower of camera flashlights.He responded with a broad smile.
In an exclusive(高級)interview with Xinhua, Yang expressed full confidence in China's first manned space flight.
Su Shuangning, director-general and chief designer of the astronaut system under China's manned space program, described Yang as a sober-minded(沉著冷靜的)person with a “superb capability of self-control”.
While a fighter pilot, Yang had 1350 hours of flight experience.He was chosen, along with 13 others, from among 1500 pilots for space flight training.Yang's colleagues described him as a man with a good team spirit, a man of dedication(奉獻) to his career.Friends at his hometown, Suizhong County of northeast China's Liaoning Province, remember that Yang had dreamed of flying when still a child.Yang was recruited(招募)by the No.2 Aviation College of the PLA Air Force in September 1983 and became a fighter pilot after graduation with bachelor's degree.In 1998, Yang became a member of China's first team of astronauts.Yang, 168 cm tall, is a lieutenant colonel.He has an eight-year-old son, and his wife, Zhang Yumei, also serves in China's space program.
According to Su Shuangning, China's first team of astronauts are all capable of working and living in space thanks to five years of rigid(嚴格的)physical, psychological and technical training.He said that Yang Liwei was one of the best in the team.
In an Astronaut Training Base in Beijing, China's would-be astronauts had lessons necessary for space flight, including aviation dynamics, air dynamics, geophysics, meteorology, astronomy, space navigation, design principle and structure of rockets and spacecraft, as well as equipment examination.Moreover, they received systematic(系統(tǒng)的)training in space flight in simulators(模擬器).
“To establish myself as a qualified astronaut, I have studied harder than in my college years and have received training much tougher than for a fighter pilot, ” said Yang.
If the spaceship's re-entry module(模塊)could not land at the pre-set areas and the recovery team could not rush to the spot on time, the astronaut must act for self-rescue.“Therefore, survival skills have become one of the most important knowledge for the astronauts to grasp, ”said Su Shuangning.“Through rigorous(嚴酷的)training, our astronauts have learned how to survive under extreme conditions.”Twenty-five days before the launch of Shenzhou-5, the would-be astronauts started exercising in the real spacecraft at the Jiuquan Launch Center.
“When I boarded the spacecraft for the first time, I couldn't help feeling excited, ” Yang recalled.“I decided that I must fly it.”
At 6∶15 a.m.Wednesday, Yang got seated in the re-entry module of Shenzhou-5, atop a 58.3-meter-high Long March-II-F carrier rocket.Between 1999 and 2002, Long March-II-F carrier rockets were used to launch four unmanned spacecraft into orbit, and all the launches were successful.
想一想:After reading the passage, what made him become successful?What can you learn from him?

Will crosstalk become extinct? Several years ago, people could switch on the TV and very often would find a crosstalk performance being broadcast.Today, a person could sit in front of the TV set for seven days a week,24 hours a day, and still have trouble finding a single crosstalk show.Many people who were born before the late 1970s can remember a long list of crosstalk performers:Ma Sanli, Feng Gong, Hou Yaowen, Jiang Kun, Li Jindou, Ma Ji, Niu Qun, Su Wenmao.In mid-1980s,many of these performers frequently appeared on television programmes in short comedy skits.But most of them have since disappeared from public view.Only a few-such as Feng Gong, Jiang Kun and Niu Qun-remain fresh in people’s memory thanks to their performances at China Central Television’s annual Spring Festival evening show.These performers, however, are unwilling to devote all their time to crosstalk.Feng has been trying his hand at movies, and Niu worked as a magazine editor for a while before taking up a job as deputy county magistrate in Anhui Province.
When the art form first made its appearance 150 years ago, performers would put on shows outside or at temple fairs.Its fans were mainly farmers, peddlers and artisans.Many old crosstalk artists performed in the Tianqiao area in old Beijing, where performances of folk art were concentrated.However, for that reason, crosstalk was looked down upon and the performances were regarded as shows for the lower classes at that time.Open-air performances also allowed interaction between artists and audiences, which helped keep the art form full of vitality.The humor of crosstalk is characterized by close observation of ordinary people’s lives.
While there were hundreds of full-time writers engaged in composing interesting comic routines in the 1950s, there are few professional writers of crosstalk nowadays.Almost all the former crosstalk writers have chosen to move into TV and film scripts, which makes more money and can be done more quickly as well.But there are also new crosstalk scripts, many created by amateur writers.But most of their work lacks appeal because, on the whole, it merely eulogizes what is good in Chinese society, rather than criticizing and satirizing problems, experts said.As a result, few modern crosstalk routines have become popular as the old ones.
Some experts have called for crosstalk to adapt to keep pace with the rapidly changing world.Crosstalk seems to have a long road ahead before it can prosper as it did in the past.

BEIJING - Hailing Mo Yan as the first Chinese citizen that won the Nobel Prize in Literature, the public has started to consider the way to enhance Chinese literature's global presence.
The prize indicates that Chinese contemporary authors and their works are getting the world's attention, which promp ts writers and amateurs to continue their work, according to Wang Meng, a renowned Chinese writer. But "the prize came a little late," said Xue Yongwu, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Journalism and Communication with Ocean University of China (OUC). There have been many accomplished writers of modern and contemporary literature in China, including Lu Xun, Ba Jin and Mao Dun, who should have won the prize earlier, he noted. China's splendid ancient literature, which extends thousands of years, has been widely acknowledged across the world. However, the contemporary literature failed to get enough recognition from outside the country due to its short history and complex political influences, he explained. Language has also been a barrier. Only a small proportion of Chinese literature has been translated into foreign languages, mainly English. The quality of some translated editions needs improvement, said Xue.
In addition to language skills, translation requires high-level comprehension and explanation of culture and art. It's hard for people without any literature background to produce a translation that fully reserves the aesthetic(美學的) sense of the original version, according to Ren Dongsheng, professor with the College of Foreign Languages of OUC. The 57-year-old writer is known for his description of Chinese rural life. The settings for his works range from the 1911 revolution, Japan's invasion to Cultural Revolution. Mo combines hallucinatory(幻覺的) realism with folk tales, which is more appealing to the taste of Western readers than the styles adopted by many of his peers, such as Yu Hua, Su Tong and Wang Shuo, said Zhang Hongsheng, dean of the Literature Department of the Communication University of China.
However, "Nobel Prize is not the unique standard to judge the achievements of a writer. Prizes presented by different organizations adopt various evaluation criteria," said Xu Yan, a literature critic. The quality of a literary work is always judged by the topic, language, structure, the way of story-telling, imagination and some other significant elements. People's tastes vary from different social background and cultural mechanism, she added.
Chinese contemporary literature, which appeared in 1949, has seen a trend of diversification since the country adopted the market economy in 1992. "The prize is a positive sign that the West begins to recognize Chinese literature. But it's an acknowledgement of individual efforts, and Chinese literature revival still has a long way to go," said Zhang. Xue called upon Chinese writers to produce quality works with international perspectives. Good literature should reveal social problems and people's concerns while create the beauty of art. "The society should provide favorable environment for the growth of Chinese writers," he stressed. Seeking increasing world attention requires Chinese writers to maintain the national characteristics and uniqueness. "Chinese elements are the last to lose in successful writings," Zhang said.
China's book market has witnessed booming sales of Mo's masterpieces over the past days. Zhicheng Classic Bookstore, registered at T-Mall of China's largest online retailer Taobao.com, said 1,500 volumes of Mo's latest novel Frog were sold out in six hours after Mo won the prize. The store has received 1,200 reservation orders by 3:30 pm Friday. The book, about China's family-planning policy, also moved up to 14th from 560th on the list of the most populous book at the Amazon.cn withinin two days. Cao Yuanyong, deputy editor-in-chief of Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing Group, said the company is producing the new edition of a collection of Mo's 16 works, which is expected to refill the empty shelves of many book retailers in a week.
50. The article is mainly about_________.
A. Mo Yan's Nobel win sparks piracy concerns
B. Mo Yan's hometown to hail Nobel success
C. Mo Yan sees income soar following Nobel win
D. Mo Yan sparks discussion about Chinese literature
51. The underlined word “renowned” in Paragraph 2 means _______
A. well-known B. critical C. fantastic D. admirable
52. Which of the following is NOT the reason for Chinese contemporary literature failed to win the Nobel in the past from the opinions of Xue Yongwu?
A. Short history B. Individual efforts C. Political influences D. Language translation
53. According to Zhang Hongsheng, what is the main characteristics of Mo Yan’s works?
A. Combining hallucinatory realism with folk tales.
B. His description of Chinese urban life
C. Settings from the 1911 revolution, Japan's invasion to Cultural Revolution.
D. Providing different social background and cultural mechanism
54. In order to make Chinese contemporary literature better acknowledged across the word, what is the most important from the opinions of Zhang Hongsheng?
A. International characteristics B. International perspectives
C. Chinese elements D. Favorable environment
55. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. New edition of a collection of Mo's 16 works has been sold out.
B. Only online bookstores sold out his works after Mo won the prize.
C. The novel Frog was listed the most populous book at the Amazon.cn.
D. Mo Yan’s works are bestsellers in the bookstores at present.
