1 A1 Shanghai Technical Institude of Electronics and Information Editor: Chen ShenYun China'sMoon Flights china plans to launch a probe called Chang'e No. 1 in December 2006 to fly out to the Moon and enter lunar orbit. From there, it would send photos and science data back to Earth. The Moon is nearly one-quarter-million miles away from Earth. Only Russia, Japan and the United States have sent spacecraft into orbit around the Moon. Chang'e. The nation's major lunar exploration project

2 is known as the Chang'e Project after an ancient Chinese legend about a beautiful young fairy who took a magic potion, flew to the Moon, and stayed there as Goddess of the Moon. The Chinese exploration project would involve three stages, according to Luan Enjie, director of the Chinese National Space Administration: orbiting the Moon in 2006 landing an unmanned rover on the Moon in 2010 or 2012 returning lunar soil and rock samples from the Moon around 2015 Only after those steps have been taken, might China land human beings on the Moon. First phase. China would send a spacecraft to circle the Moon and map its surface to get three-dimensional images of the body from space. Chinese scientists would use the information sent back by the orbiter to analyze the lunar surface, measure the soil density, and generally explore the environment above and on the Moon. Second phase. China would send one or more wheeled rovers to land on the surface, explore around their landing areas, and collect lunar soil for on-the-spot research. Data

3 would be returned to China by radio. Third phase. China would send wheeled rovers to explore the Moon and collect lunar soil, and then would return soil and rock samples to China for first-hand examination. History of China's Lunar Exploration Plans The suggested project timeline would see China beginning its lunar exploration some 40 years after the USSR and the U.S. sent their first spacecraft to orbit the Moon: On April 4, 1966, the Soviet Union launched Luna 10, the first spacecraft from Earth to orbit the Moon. Russia had tried to probe the Moon as early as Altogether, the USSR launched 24 exploration spacecraft in the Luna series from They included crash landings on the lunar surface, fly-bys, landers, rovers, satellites in orbit, and sample return missions. On August 10, 1966, the United States launched Lunar Orbiter 1. The Lunar Orbiter project included five satellites of the Moon launched in The U.S. had other

4 lunar explorers such as the Ranger project in America had tried to probe the Moon as early as In 1990, Japan sent its Muses-A robot science explorer into an Earth-Moon orbit. Later renamed Hiten, the unmanned explorer dropped off a miniature satellite called Hagoromo into lunar orbit as Hiten swung around the Moon. The only country to have landed astronauts on the Moon is the United States, with its Apollo series of manned missions from Editor: Chen ShenYun LEARNING A2 learntoteach In Chian,it'snot unusual to see students make brief presentations inclass.however,a student rarely has the chance to give real lessons to the rest of the class. Fortunately our school has decided to introduce a teaching-and-learning innovation programme.i'm amound the few students who have theprecious opportunity to workas an English teacher during three classes per week. Although some people think the work is too difficult for us student,iifind

5 it interesting and challenging.gradually,i've got to know various teaching methods as well as the importanceof creativity. During my teaching,i realized that many students saw English classes as prime-time for sleeping.the reason was that they were bystanders rather than participants in the lesson.therefore,i did my best to involve everyone in my class. In addition,i spend much of my time making boring grammar simple and understandable. For instance,when explaining"subjunctive verbs",ipick the first letter of each verb and made them into a simple sentence-"our DAD ISAMADCOP",indicating,"Order,Urge,Require,Decide,Arrange,Move,Ask, Desire,Command,Object and propose".this funny sentence greatly helped the students remember the words and deal with exame.in thisway,tedious learning turned out to be an enjoyable process.studentsmade great progress in their English and many teachers adopted my practices as well. I belive that teaching is more of an art form than just a boring job.everyone was born to have an appetite for learing. The most importent thing is to arousetheir interest. Will my"teaching career"pass in the blink of an eye?well Icherish all the things I've gained from teaching?no doubt. sayings Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Nero
