Do you want to become an astronaut? If you want to be one of the few people to experience the thrill of lift-off(发射), see the Earth from on high and float(漂浮)in a spacecraft, then how do you go about it?
First, you must really want to become an astronaut as it takes many years of
study and work before you even begin your astronaut training. Most astronauts begin when they are between 27 and 37.
Second, you need to be clever enough to attend a university to study engineering, medicine or one of the sciences. Many astronauts also learn to be pilots in their country’s air force(空军).
Third, astronauts come from many different countries, so they need to speak English. Then they can all talk to one another.
Fourth, you must be healthy as astronaut training can be very tiring. Lastly, on a spacecraft, astronauts live and work in a very small space, so you need to get on well with people.
Are you still interested? If so, maybe you will become one of the men or women that orbit the Earth in a spacecraft, walk in space or visit Mars. See you in space!
1. The underlined word “thrill” may mean the following feelings EXCEPT . A. excitement
B. danger

Dear Lin Tao,
I have been in Hong Kong for a whole week. I will stay here for another week.
Hong Kong is really a great place to visit. There’s so much to see and do here. And I’ve done so many wonderful things.
I’ve taken the cable car(缆车)to the Peak Galleria(山顶广场). I’ve been to Hong Kong Racing Museum. I’ve known a lot about horse racing. I’ve also visited Ladies Street. In the street I bought some beautiful clothes for my mother. Last night I went to a Chinese concert. Chinese traditional music has always been my favourite. This morning I went to Ocean Park and watched the dolphins perform(表演)there. Dolphins are so clever. They can jump from the water to touch a ball, sway(摇摆)their bodies to music, kiss people and even do maths. Mr. Host is going to take me to an Italian film festival in Hong Kong Cultural Centre tomorrow. I’m so excited because I have never seen an Italian film before. But some people say Italian films are boring.
That’s all.
Yours, Wang Xin
