　　“Hurry, Mommy! Let’s go trick-or-treating!” My daughter waited by the door in her pink princess skirt while I prayed in the living room．Usually I liked taking her out on Halloween, but this year I was sad．I was worried about my mother, who was in China on vacation．I got a call that afternoon that she had slipped and fallen on the hard floor of her hotel and broken her leg．She was taken to a hospital in Beijing．Mom was nervous because she couldn’t understand any of the doctors．If only I could do something to help her!

　　I knew I couldn’t let my worries spoil my daughter’s fun．There was nothing I could do for Mom except pray, I thought．We left the house and went down the block．I was so upset that I hardly took notice of the kids around me．There came the man to whose son I’d once given piano lessons．“Hello there, ” I said, greeting him and the boy at his side．

　　“Hello, ” the father answered．“Having fun?” “I’m trying,” I said．“Why, what’s wrong?” he asked．I told him the whole story．“My mother, in China, broke her leg and didn’t understand any of the doctors．And I’m too far away to do anything!” I said．

　　He raised his eyebrows．“Beijing, you said?” he asked．I nodded．He smiled．“Believe it or not, my sister is a doctor at an English-speaking hospital there．If you want, I’ll make a call right away and we’ll try and get your mom transferred(转移)．”

　　A few days later I sat in the living room with my daughter as she finished the last of the candy．“Mommy, how far away is China?” she asked．“Not as far as I thought, ” I said．

　　Newly from its second manned spaceship, China’s space program wants to be able to put a man on the moon and build a space station in 15 years, an official said Sunday．

　　“I think in about 10 to 15 years, we will have the ability to build our own space station and to carry out a manned moon landing,”said Hu Shixiang, deputy commander of China’s manned spaceship program．

　　But the plan depends on the money getting from the government, Hu said, explaining that the space program must fit in the larger plan of the country’s overall development．

　　Hu was in Hong Kong with the two astronauts who piloted China’s second successful manned spaceship in October．He spoke during a television talk with executives from various television stations and newspapers．

　　Nie Haisheng and Fei Junlong circled Earth for five days aboard the Shenzhou 6 capsule(太空舱)，traveling 2 million miles in 115 hours, 32 minutes．China’s first manned spaceship was in 2003, when astronaut Yang Liwei stayed for 21 1/2 hours．

　　China wants to master(精通)the technology for a space walk in space by 2012, Hu said．He said China was developing its space program at its own pace,not in competition with the United States．“It’s not the competition of the Cold War era,”he said．

　　Hu stressed China’s intention to use space exploration for peaceful ends, saying the government“is willing to work hard with people around the world for the peaceful use of space．”

　　He said Chinese space officials want to study the possibility of making rockets with the capacity to carry spacecraft weighing 27.5 tons－three times the capacity of their existing rockets－but the government hasn’t approved the funding．

　　Hu dismissed suggestions the space program is too costly for a country that, despite rapid economic growth, is still struggling to put an end to rural poverty．He noted the recent space ship cost ＄111.4 million, compared to the ＄23.5 billion that China spent on fighting against pollution last year．

　　China’s 1.3 billion people stopped yesterday at 2∶28 pm－the exact time of the 8.0 magnitude earthquake a week ago－for three minutes of silence to mourn for as many as 10,000 people who were thought dead．In Hongbai, one of the worse-affected towns, a single siren(汽笛)cried and the few dozen people who were still in the town pressed their car horns．A military helicopter hovered overhead, its siren crying too．
