C A few days ago, few people knew his name or recognized his face. But last Thursday, when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space, Yang Liwei’s smile was seen across the world. The 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9 am last Wednesday by China’s Shenzhou V spaceship, which traveled round the earth 14 times. He landed safely at 6:23 am the next day, making China the third country to successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and US. Yang was pleased with his job. “I have seen many landing scenes before on video, and I think ours was one of the most successful, he said on a special plane to Beijing after landing. Born into an ordinary family in Liaoning Province, he became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force in 1987, spending 1,350 hours in the air. He joined the Chinese space programme 11 years later. While in space, Yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing China’s national flag and the United Nations’ flag to the people watching on TV at home. He also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice, before taking a 3-hour nap. The whole programme went according to plan, but space exploration is not as easy as it seems. Anyone who saw the destruction of the US space shuttle Columbia in February this year will know that Yang took a great risk . He experienced very high temperature, while the gravitational forces on takeoff and landing were strong enough to force tears from his eyes. He has spent five years training to become a spaceman. “I eat all of my meals at the space programme’s dinning room and have never been able to take my son to school, he said. “I’ve never met his teachers. But all the hard work was well worth it -- Yang has become China’s first spaceman. 44. How many hours on average , more or less, did Shenzhou V spaceship take to circle around the earth once? A. 14 hours. B. 21 hours. C. 2 hours. D. One hour and a half. 45. Before his own landing, Yang Liwei .
