  When China launches its Shenzhou VI spaceship, it will most likely carry two astronauts and stay in space for five to seven days, according to Wang Yongzhi, the chief designer of the country’s manned spacecraft.

  In an interview with local media, Wang spoke highly of the team of researchers based in Shanghai, who designed Shenzhou V’s main engine.

  Asked whether Yang Liwei, China’s first astronaut who blasted into space a month ago from Jiuquan, Gansu Province, will be picked again for the second mission, Wang said the final decision will be made only 16 hours before the launch, so“it is still too early to say”.

  Yang, on his first trip to Shanghai, said he was touched by the enthusiasm of the local people.He said he was also impressed by the city’s cosmopolitan and high-tech outlook.

  Reminded by local journalists of his non-stop schedule since he returned to earth-touring around the country and giving speeches-Yang said that it was part of his responsibility to spread the message of encouragement to his compatriots.

  Meanwhile, lured by the visiting space program team, 130,000 people have thronged the round-the-clock, two-day space exhibition at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum since the free show opened on Tuesday.

  Among them, more than 70,000 visited between 6 pm and 6 am despite the biting cold, curious to see“what the country’s first manned spaceship looked like”.

  “It’s incredible!”Li Jun, an exhibition official, told Shanghai Daily yesterday.“We never expected such a huge number of visitors, especially since they queued up in these freezing conditions.”

  Chen Dafu, 58, who traveled all the way from suburban Qingpu District, said:“It’s been worth it.The space exhibition was an eye-opener for me.As a Chinese, I was so happy when Yang returned to Earth safely.”Also yesterday, Yang and his peers gave emotional speeches at the Shanghai Exhibition Center to more than 2,000 senior government officials and residents from various fields.They also took a cruise along the Huangpu River last night.(China Daily 2003-12-20)

How Long Can People Live?

  She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday.

  Whe n it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world’s recordholder.She lived to the ripe old age of 122.So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span(寿命)?If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150-or beyond?

  Researchers don’t entirely agree on the answers.“Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn’t surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135,”says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas.

  Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees.“People can live much longer than we think,”he says.“Experts used to say that humans couldn’t live past 110.When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120.So why can’t we go higher?”

  The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it’s all just guessing.“Anyone can make up a number,”says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan.“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine.”

  Won’t new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries?Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120.Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most.So, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller,“adding another 50 percent would get you to 120.”

  So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers?That life span is flexible(有弹性的),but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington.“We can get flies to live 50 percent longer,”he says.“But a fly’s never going to live 150 years.”

  “Of course, if you became a new species(物种),one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story,”he adds.

  Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(进化)their way to longer life?“It’s pretty cool to think about it,”he says with a smile.

A.

the average human life span could be 110

B.

scientists cannot find ways to slow aging

C.

few people can expect to live to over 150

D.

researchers are not sure how long people can live

(3)

Who would agree that a scientist will become famous if he makes the wildest guess at longevity?

[  ]

A.

Jerry Shay.

B.

Steve Austad

C.

Rich Miller

D.

George Martin

(4)

What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?

[  ]

A.

Most of us could be good at sports even at 120.

B.

The average human life span cannot be doubled.

C.

Scientists believe mice are aging at a slower speed than before.
