To celebrate the first big success for the country's space development, April 24 is now China's Space Day, which started this year. While celebrating, China also announced(宣布）new plans to make a space station and go to Mars and further space.

A space station is like a home for astronauts in space. Astronauts live and work on a space station and spaceships can even park there. China plans to finish building its space station in 2022.

According to China’s top space scientist Zhou Jianping, by that time, becoming an astronaut will be a normal job. Astronauts are needed more than ever before. They need to be able to finish more tasks. So far, China has been choosing astronauts mainly from pilots. In the future astronauts will also be picked from engineers, doctors and space technology experts.

Another plan is about Mars. In order to search Mars, China will send a probe（探測器）first to Mars around 2020. It will land there and even bring back things from the Mars.

It's such a big plan! Only by doing this can China say it has truly started the exploration of deep space. And the exploration will help us understand how the universe changes.

【1】Who made the world's first rocket?

【2】When is China’s Space Day?

【3】What does China plan to do in 2022?

【4】What will China do first to search the Mars?

【5】What does the passage mainly tell us?

However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.

Parents can see that their children’s skills are different, maybe good in some areas ,but poor in others. Most parents fail to realize that today’s children are in need of self-respect and self-confidence.

The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.

Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.

Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious (好奇的) and have interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.

【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. Parents care about their money. when educating their children.

B. Parents don’t often send their children to the best schools.

A. how much the best education is worth

Start a conversation. Often neighbors don’t even know each other’s names. However most neighbors enjoy making small talk with each other in their community. You can ask how their kids are or what they think of the prices at the supermarket. But the best way to break the ice is to smile, wave, and say hello to your neighbors.

Be friendly to the newcomers. Your new neighbors may be feeling lonely, especially if they’re far from home, and might expect a friendly face. If they have kids, tell them where the children play in the neighborhood. Introduce the best places to eat and shop. Invite them over for coffee or tea, give them your phone number, and point to your house as you say good-bye.

Develop better relationships. Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor, such as tools, in good repair and as soon as you’ve finished with them. Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway. Such small actions will help you build up a good relationship with your neighbors.

Make time for your friendship. If you value a friendship with your neighbors, spend time with them. Why not invite them to a barbecue or weekend party? You can write a card to invite them to your party. Then, you can make a call to them ahead. In this way, you will know what your neighbors like. You can plan for proper food and music.

Care about the details. In a good relationship, it’s really the little things that count. When your neighbors carry a lot of things, you can give them a hand. Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when it rains. If you care about them, they will give you a surprise, too. The respect for your neighbors' feelings can develop your relationship with them.

【2】What is the best way to break the ice when you meet your neighbors?
