　　China's astronaut, 38-year-old Yang Liwei returned safely to earth Thursday morning, when his craft Shenzhou V touched down as scheduled after more than 21 hours in the earth's orbit. Chinese premier Wen Jiabao called the landmark debut flight a “complete success”. The descent capsule (返回艙) carrying Lt. Col. Yang Liwei touched down on the grasslands of the Gobi Desert, in central Inner Mongolia at 6:23 a. m. Thursday (Beijing Time), the Beijing-based China's Aerospace Command and Control Center said. Minutes later, Yang grabbed the capsule hatch with his hand, pulled himself out, smiled and waved at recovery teams and reporters. “It is a splendid moment in the history of my motherland and also the greatest day of my life,” Yang, a former flight pilot from Northeast China's Liaoning Province, said immediately after emerging. In an interview with CCTV, China's state television, Yang said he was “feeling excellent”. Shenzhou V landed at dawn, 4.8 kilometres (3 miles) from its designed landing target, the officials said. “The spaceship operated well,” the astronaut Yang Liwei said in his first publicized comments. “I feel very good and I am proud of my motherland.” After a physical exam on spot, Yang's condition was found as “good”. Li Jinai, the commander of China's manned space program, called Yang a “space hero” and a “national hero”. Following Yang's touchdown China's premier Wen Jiabao immediately spoke to Yang from Beijing's Command and Control Centre and offered his congratulations.

　　Within hours, Chinese space officials announced that the country's space dreams will continue with a “Shenzhou Ⅵ” mission, most possibly within a year. They said China also had worked out plans to conduct space walking by its astronauts, and eventually build up a space station. However, Chinese scientists ruled out building a space shuttle, like the United States.

　　Yang's flight came four decades after the former Soviet Union and the United States pioneered manned spaceflight. Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin orbited the Earth in April 1961. One month later, the United States launched Alan B. Shepard Jr.

閱讀理解

　　Outside our hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, a seemingly ancient woman waited beside the door with her hand outstretched．Every day I put my hand in hers as our eyes met．She never failed to return my smile, my grasp, and my greeting．

　　On the last day of our visit, I found myself alone on a busy corner across the street from our hotel．Bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me．As I hesitated on the sidewalk, I felt a hand on my elbow and looked down to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me．She nodded her head toward the street, indicating that she would take me across．Together, we moved slowly into the chaos．

　　Then we moved on toward the sidewalk, where she pulled my face down to hers, kissed me on both cheeks, and then left, still smiling and waving back to me．

　　Traveling in poorer nations, I have witnessed a variety of ways to deal with beggars．The most common response of tourists faced with the poverty-stricken is to ignore them and focus their eyes elsewhere．I have seen people push away an outstretched hand in angry annoyance．A few may drop a few coins into the hand in a hurry, hoping that other ragged pursuers won't immediately appear on the scene．

　　For many reasons, giving money is not the best response to an outstretched hand．Many world travelers have discovered that the greatest gift they can give is their time and respect．Everyone needs recognition, to be seen as worthy of being known, to feel appreciated and loved．And I believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing．
