Qian Xuesen was born in Shanghai on December 11th, 1911. He is known as "the father of China's space program" and "The king of the rocket".

When he was 24 years old, Qian went to America for further study. After graduation, he worked in America for a few years, where his working conditions were better. In the early 1950s, he heard New China had been founded  and decided not to stay in America any longer. He succeeded in coming back to his motherland in 1955 though the American government tried to stop him.

In 1956, Qian Xuesen suggested setting up a special organization, which later became the leading organization for China's rocket and air travel program. In June 1964, China successfully created its first medium rocket. Qian also played an important role in developing China's first man-made satellite (衛(wèi)星). On April 24, 1970, "Dongfanghong-I" was successfully sent into the air.

In 1964, a young man wrote Qian Xuesen a letter and pointed out a mistake in his published article. Qian immediately answered the letter and encouraged the young man to write an article out the mistake.

Zhu Yilin, who was said to be the last student of Qian Xuesen, once said, "I learned a lot of professional knowledge as well as the spirit and attitude that a scientist should have from Mr. Qian, especially his deep love for the motherland. Without that, they couldn't have helped to develop science and technology when New China was badly development. Without that, he would not have made the great contribution  to industry in the late 1950s and early 1960s when conditions in China were too hard."

Mr. Qian has been dead for ten years, but he will live in the memory of Chinese people forever.

Little actions, big consequences.勿以惡小而為之。

A boy named Jacob was riding in a car along with his family. He was drinking a can (罐) of soda while his father drove the family home. After Jacob finished his soda, he rolled down (搖下) the window and threw the can out of the car.

After seeing what he did, his mother turned around (轉(zhuǎn)過來) to him and said, “Jacob! Don’t throw your trash (垃圾) out of the car!”

“But just one can. It’s not a big deal.” Jacob replied.

“That may be so. But what if everybody did that?” she said. But Jacob didn’t think much about her question.

The next day, one of Jacob’s classmates was celebrating her birthday in class. Her mother had brought a nice cake to class for everyone to share. But then Jacob snuck up to (悄悄靠近) the cake and licked off (舔掉) some of the frosting (糖霜)! However, Jacob’s teacher noticed what he had done.

“Jacob! You shouldn’t lick frosting off of a cake that everyone else to eat!” his teacher yelled?

“But it was only one lick…” Jacob replied.

“That may be so. But what if everybody did that?” she said.

Jacob really did think about what would happen. If everyone licked the cake, it would be destroyed. His face turned red. This time, Jacob realized that he was wrong.

So my dear parents, when your children make a mistake, don’t think it’s just a small one or your children are too young. Because little mistakes may lead to bad habits and cause bad results. Please always remember: Little actions, big consequences.
