It was coming up on Marty’s birthday. His mom had asked him what he wanted as a gift this year. He thought maybe a new bicycle, or maybe a new camera, a new basketball, or a telescope (望远镜). "Any of those gifts would be great," he said. Secretly, he hoped for the telescope. Marty loved space, stars, and learning about the planets.
Marty’s mom and dad talked about the gifts one night after Marty went to sleep. "I think we should get Marty the telescope," said dad. "He’s so interested in space and the planets, he would like that the best." "Sounds good," said mom. Dad told her he would pick out a telescope for Marty the next day after work.
Marty’s dad had the telescope in his car. He waited until Marty was asleep and brought it into the house. "Wow!" said Marty’s mom after dad put it together. "This is wonderful." "Now where are we going to hide it until Sunday?" "How about in the attic (阁楼)?" "Marty won’t find it there."
Sunday morning came and Marty ran down the stairs into the kitchen. His gift was usually near his chair at the table, but this year he didn’t see anything. "Happy Birthday!" shouted mom and dad from the next room. They came into the kitchen and saw Marty was looking around for a gift. "I guess you think we forgot to get you a gift," said mom. Marty looked confused. "Well, you usually put my gift in the kitchen," Marty said. Dad told Marty to follow him outside the house in the yard. "This is fantastic!" shouted Marty. "I don’t take many pictures, and I probably wouldn’t use the basketball much, and my bike is okay for now. But I will use the telescope! Thanks so much." "You’re welcome," said mom and dad. All that night, Marty saw many beautiful stars and even the planet Mars. Marty would remember his tenth birthday for the rest of his life!

About 800 years ago, a Chinese man named Wang Hu made the world's first rocket, but unluckily he lost his life with it. It was not until April 24, 1970 that China sent its first satellite Dongfanghong-1to space successfully.
To celebrate the first big success for the country's space development, April 24 is now China's Space Day, which started this year. While celebrating, China also announced(宣布）new plans to make a space station and go to Mars and further space.
A space station is like a home for astronauts in space. Astronauts live and work on a space station and spaceships can even park there. China plans to finish building its space station in 2022.
According to China’s top space scientist Zhou Jianping, by that time, becoming an astronaut will be a normal job. Astronauts are needed more than ever before. They need to be able to finish more tasks. So far, China has been choosing astronauts mainly from pilots. In the future astronauts will also be picked from engineers, doctors and space technology experts.
Another plan is about Mars. In order to search Mars, China will send a probe（探测器）first to Mars around 2020. It will land there and even bring back things from the Mars.
It's such a big plan! Only by doing this can China say it has truly started the exploration of deep space. And the exploration will help us understand how the universe changes.
1.Who made the world's first rocket?
2.When is China’s Space Day?
3.What does China plan to do in 2022?
4.What will China do first to search the Mars?
5.What does the passage mainly tell us?
