　　A few days ago, few people knew his name or 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.

　　The 38-year-old astronaut (宇航員) was sent into space at 9:00 am, last Wednesday by China's Shenzhou V Spaceship, and it travelled round the earth 14 times. He landed safely at 6:23 am, the next day. That made China the third country to successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the USA.

　　Yang was pleased with his job. “I have seen many landing scenes ever before on video tapes, and I think ours was one of the most successful,” he said on a special plane to Beijing after landing.

　　Anybody who saw the breaking-up of the US space plane named Columbia in February of 2003 knew that Yang was in great danger.

　　Yang experienced very high temperature, while the gravitational forces (地心引力) on taking off and landing were strong enough to make tears from his eyes.

　　He has spent five years training to become a spaceman after 1350 hours' flying in the air. Although it was hard work, Yang loved it. Yang's success was well worth all the hard work. Yang has become China's first spaceman.

Always forgetting your long passwords(密碼)? Worried about being hacked(被攻擊)?All these worries will soon become history. Scientists have found that upper-casing(大寫)your password can help you reduce the chance being hacked.
Usually passwords are six letters or more.However,50 percent of people choose a common word or simple key combination for their password. The most used passwords are 123456, abcdef and abc123. In fact, if your passwords are in lower-case(小寫),it will be easily hacked by a hacker. According to a study, it only takes a hacker ten minutes to hack a six-letter password which is in lower-case, but if you make the letter in upper-case, it can take up to ten hours. So if you want to make your account much safer, you should make your password upper-case. Of course, you can also add numbers or symbols to your password. Most of the time a hacker’s computer has to work for 18 days to break a password, but if you choose a nine-letter password that includes numbers and symbols, it can take a hacher’s  computer 44,530 years to break it.
【小題1】Scientists have found that   your password is much safer for  
your account.
