That’s all.Thank you for listening.

For  centuries  people dreamed  of going  into  space.This dream began to seem possible when high­flying rockets were built in the early 1900s.

In 1903 a Russian teacher named Konstantin Tsiolkovsky figured out how to use rockets for space travel.His plan was the first one in rocket science to use correct scientific calculation.About 30  years  later，a U．S.scientist  named  Robert  Goddard built the first rockets that could reach high altitudes.During World War Ⅱ，German scientists built large rockets that could travel very far and carry dangerous explosives.After the war，scientists from Germany went to the United States and the Soviet Union to help those countries build space rockets.

These two countries were soon racing to get to space first.Each of these countries wanted to prove that it was stronger and more advanced than the other one.Both countries also had powerful bombs.People in the United States were worried when the Soviets were first to launch a space satellite，which was called Sputnik.The Soviets were also first to send a person into space.Yury Gagarin orbited the earth in the Vostok I spaceship in 1961.

The US government set a goal for its space program to be the first country to put a person on the Moon.The U．S.space program built a series of Apollo spaceship.These vehicles were powered by huge Saturn 5 rockets.In 1969 Apollo Ⅱtook three men to the moon successfully.Nell Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon.

The Soviets  may have lost the race to fly people to the Moon，but they built the first space station in 1971.The United States also built a space station.The space stations allowed people to live and work in space.Then the Soviet Union and the United States cooperated to hook two spaceships together in space.This action ended the “space race”．Today a much larger space station，built by several countries together，orbits Earth.

Another new way to go to space is  by space shuttle.A space shuttle，first made in the United States in 1981，looks like an alrplane.Astronauts who fly spaceships have used shuttles to help put satellites into space.

CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises，once spoke of the relation of work to one’s other commitments：imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls，e.g.work，family，health，friends and spirit.You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.If you drop it，it will bounce back.But the other four balls—family，health，friends and spirit—are made of glass.You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.How?

Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.It is because we are different that each of us is special.Don’t set your goals by what other people think important.Only you know what is best for you.Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart.Cling to them as they would be your life，for without them，life is meaningless.Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future.By living your life one day at a time，you live all the days of your life.Don’t give up when you still have something to give.Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.It is this fragile thread the binds us to each together.Don’t be afraid to encounter risks.It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find.The quickest way to receive love is to give it；the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly；and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been，but also where you are going.Don’t forget a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.Don’t be afraid to learn.Knowledge is weightless，a treasure you can always carry easily.Don’t use time or words carelessly.Neither can be retrieved.

Life is not a race，but a journey to be savored each step of the way.Yesterday is history，tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift：that’s why we call it “The Present”．

A．They will keep the same as before.

B．They will be broken and never be the same as before.

C．They will strive for balance.

D．They will bounce back like rubber balls.

It’s perfectly normal for young children to suddenly decide they hate everything—even foods they loved yesterday.It’s also common for them to go on what experts call food jags—that is，they want to eat the same few foods over and over again at every meal，while turning_up_their_noses_at anything new.“It’s a fear of new things，” says Nancy Hudson，a researcher in University of California，Berkeley.“We think it’s one of those quirks (怪癖) that humans probably developed to protect themselves as mankind came into this without knowing if they’re safe.” Children like things to be familiar，whether they’re their beds or their afternoon tea，so most kids won’t try new foods until they’ve been shown to them many times.

Picky (挑剔的) eating can also be a child’s way of showing his independence.This is why making a child eat often makes things worse.Finally，it may seem like your child can not sit still long enough to eat very much at one sitting because of his short attention.But children are generally good at getting what they need，even if it doesn’t seem like much to you.In any case，you can try to keep your child at the table longer by making meal time as calm and regular as possible，without too many distractions (分心的事物) like toys，TV，or pets.

A．telling their stories while they’re eating

B．not giving them any food until they’re very hungry

A．it is easy for children to be attracted by other things

B．toys，TV and pets are not good for children

C．some children want to eat the same few foods over and over again at every meal
