2.Read the passage to deal with the exercises on p42
Reading comprehension:
A
A few days ago, he was just Colonel Yang, few people knew his name or recognized his face. But 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-years-old astronaut was sent into space by China’s Shenzhou V spacecraft, which orbited the third earth 14 times. He landed safely the next day, making China the third country to 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 in 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 China’s national flag and the United Nations’ flag to the people watching on TV at home.
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 temperature while the gravitational forces on taking off and landing were strong enough to force tears from his eyes.
“ 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 visit to 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.

A good modern newspaper is extraordinary piece of reading . It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features(特定)as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性)，its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now, But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it means also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暂的) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.

A. wide coverage B. uniform style

A. apply reading techniques skillfully

D. usually read a newspaper selectively

Letter to Editor of TV Weekly
Dear sir/ Madam.
I read Alison Burnham’s review of When We WERE 12 ,and I do not agree with her. I thought the programme was wonderful –I found he old news pictures really interesting---they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling.
The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood. For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself( this was the late 1960s). My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket . I held out my hand with the money in it----
