     Jiuquan, Gansu Sept. 25 (Xinhua)-China launched its third manned spacecraft on Thursday with three
astronauts on board to attempt the country's first-ever space walk.
     The spaceship Shenzhou-7 blasted off on a Long March II-F carrier rocket from the JiuQuan Satellite
Launch Center in the northwestern Gansu Province at 9:10 pm. after a breathtaking countdown to another
milestone on China's space journey. Onboard pilots Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng are expected
to orbit the earth for three days, when one of them will float out of the cabin about 343 kilometers above the
earth. 　　
     When they make it, China will become the third country in the world who is able to conduct
extra-vehicular activity (EVA) in space following the former Soviet Union and the United States. 　　
     President Hu Jintao watched the historic moment at the launch center, joined by Chinese experts and other
work staff. 　　
     Two taikonauts would enter the orbital module, where one would put on domestically-made spacesuit
Feitian and leave the module to take back test samples loaded outside, said Zhou Jianping, chief designer of
the country's manned space project.
     The other would wear a Russian Orlan suit and stay in the depressurized cabin for support, said Zhou.
"We wish we could fly freely in space just like Feitian on the ancient Buddhist murals, so we gave this name
to the homemade spacesuit," said Zhou. Feitian, which literally means flying in the sky, is the name of a
legendary Buddhist goddess.
     Other tasks of the Shenzhou-7 crew include the release of a small monitoring satellite and a trial of the
data relay of the satellite Tianlian-I. 　　
     The taikonauts, all 42 years old, are scheduled to land in the central region of north China's Inner Mongolia
Autonomous Region in a re-entry module after their mission is completed.

　　If you ask about the hottest star in South Korea this year, you will certainly hear the name Rain．The 22-year-old singer is powerful and energetic on stage．His dances and voice are great! On December 18, Rain and other Korean stars, including Baby V, O, X and As One, amazed their fans at the concert “Night of Love” in Beijing．“I love his small eyes and good build(體格),” Said Hanna Kim, 12, a Korean girl who studies in China, “He's a nice person．”

閱讀理解，閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。

　　Pineapple Awards Celebrate Fruits of Science

　　We live in a world of wonder but not in a world of magic．And understanding that world does not mean learning a few tricks at Hogwarts．Instead, it means understanding how important science is in our daily lives．

　　Just take a moment and look around your home．The electric lamp on your desk, the silicon microchip in your mobile phone, your mother's laundry detergent; they are all the results of science．

　　To get people more aware of these wonders that surround us, guokr．com, a science website, and Zhejiang Provincial Science and Technology Museum have established the “Pineapple Science Awards．” The awards are to be given annually and recognize recent achievements in chemistry, physics, medicine and biology, mathematics and psychology．There are also two special awards for discoveries that are imaginative, fun and thought-provoking．

　　Zhou Xinyue's research certainly met those criteria．The Sun Yat-Sen University professor was among the first group of Pineapple winners．She conducted an experiment that showed that counting money can ease pain．Professor Zhou had people count money and then dipped their hands into hot water．It turns out that after flipping through a brick of RMB, people can keep their hands in hot water for a longer time．I suppose this proves that although money can't buy you happiness, it can certainly make your life less painful．

　　If that sounds a bit frivolous, it's all in keeping with the spirit of the awards．They are intended to be light-hearted．That is why the pineapple was chosen as the awards’ symbol．Ji Shisan, the founder of guokr．com, said, “This nutritive fruit has a bright color and pleasing taste while shaped in a strange way, which indicates the awards are pleasing, interesting, nourishing, and a bit strange．”

　　Pineapple winner Zhou Xinyue added, “Some research topics seem to be weird but actually have deep meaning, which inspires us in a different way．The topics might be funny, but the research method should be serious and scientific．”

　　Are you interested in science? Then reach for the sky．You might end up with a pineapple in your hands．

(1)

The awards recognize achievements in following fields EXCEPT ________．

[　　]

A．

chemistry

B．

biology

C．

psychology

D．

art

(2)

The examples in Para．2 are to ________．

[　　]

A．

show how important science is in our daily lives

B．

prove learning a few tricks at Hogwarts is necessary in our daily lives

C．

get people more aware of these wonders that surround us

D．

indicate that some research topics seem to be weird and have little meaning

(3)

From Para．5 we can know ________．

[　　]

A．

whether the pineapple was chosen as the awards’ symbol

B．

how the pineapple was chosen as the awards’ symbol

C．

why the pineapple was chosen as the awards’ symbol

D．

why the pineapple looks so strange

(4)

According to Zhou Xinyue, ________．

[　　]

A．

if you reach for the sky you might end up with a pineapple in your hands

B．

the topics sounding funny doesn't mean the research method isn't serious or scientific

C．

although the pineapple looks strange, it has a bright color and pleasing taste

D．

counting money can ease pain and money can buy you happiness

In front of 60,000 fans, the former Olympic and world champion, Liu Xiang got his third National Games gold medal in the final of the men’s 110 meters hurdles at the Olympic Sports Center in Ji Nan, Shandong province．

Before winning this game, Liu joined in the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix meet(上海國際田徑黃金大獎賽) in September, 2009 and won the second place in men’s 110 meters hurdles with a very slight loss to his solid rival–American athlete, Terrence Trammell．That was the first time that he had shown up on the track and in public after his 13 month’s lay–off．So, this game on October 25, in 11th Chinese National Games was very critical for him to handle．After crossing the finishing line, Liu said, “The most important thing was to finish the race safely and smoothly．The result is not very good but the effort was not bad．”

With the final result of 13.34 seconds, Liu became the first Chinese hurdler to win a National Games title three times．“I’m feeling very good now,” Liu said．“I started to compete at the National Games at the age of 18 and now I’m 26．I hope I can run at the Games again in four years’ time because, for all Chinese athletes, is a dream and it is also my starting point．I would just like to thank all the people who have supported me and all the spectators who cheered for me here．”

It is hard for most of Liu’s fans to forget the heartbroken moment at Bird’s Nest last year at the Beijing Olympics because of the foot injury．Thirteen months later, however, the strong-minded man thrilled the home crowd with the strong comeback and would gain another take–off in his career．“I never thought of coming back when I got injured and I felt my future was in doubt,”Liu said, “But now I have seen there is still a future．”

Few students would dream of getting a job as a shoe shiner working along the street. College students, in their own eyes and in the eyes of the public, are expected to get at least a proper job, if not working in a high-income or white-collar position.

Cai Yong’s decision to work as a shoe shiner shocked not only his parents, who had high hopes for him, but also his girlfriend.

      A former shoe shiner, Zhong Haibo, from a medical college, believes it was a good training for the rest of his life. “There is nothing I can’t do after working as a shoe shiner,” Zhong said, meaning that such kind of experience in early life is helpful in a future job.

A. a college teacher  B. a company manager    C. a shoe shiner   D. a medicine maker
