  Grandma celebrated her fiftythird birthday just a few weeks before grandpa died of cancer in 1965. Al?though his death was very difficult for her to accept,I think their shared struggle to make his life longer taught grandma that good health was not to be taken for granted,and she made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as fully and as long as she could. One day,when she announced to attend lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Portland,Oregon,where she lived,we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and wished she would just stay at home and bake cookies as normal grandmas did. Many years filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the won?der of having a dancing grandma.

  I suppose grandma's primary motivation for want?ing to learn to dance was to develop her social skills. She had been a shy girl,always very tall and heavy,and had married into grandpa's quiet lifestyle before de?veloping any elegance or confidence in her personal ap?pearance. Dancing,on the other hand,filled her life with flash,wonderful parties,beautiful dresses,hand?some young dance instructors,and the challenge of learning. Although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample,two-hundred-pound figure,grandma surprised everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor,which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any Miss America competitor.

  Having taken weekly dance lessons for years,my grandma learned various dances easily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the North?west. When I was fourteen,grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one of these matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the Red Lion Inn. My at?titude was still unenthusiastic at that point,but to make her happy,my mother and I attended the match. As if to prove me wrong,grandma made a wonderful showing in every event she entered. I thought she was truly the queen of the ball during the dance,and my thoughts were shared by the judges a short time later when she was awarded a gold cup for her outstanding performance.

1. What did grandma learn from grandpa's death?

   A. Good health was not there for everyone.

   B. She should take dance lessons.

   C. She had to struggle to live a better life.

   D. She should wear beautiful dresses.

   C. Embarrassed. D. Proud.

   C. excited   D. uninterested

 Not long ago,few little girls imagined they could grow up to become astro?nauts. For years in the United States,only men had that opportunity. In 1983,that changed. Sally Ride made history by becoming the first American woman to travel to space.

  On Monday,Ride died at the age of 61. "Sally was a national hero and a powerful role model," President Barack Obama said in a statement. "She in?spired generations of young girls to reach for the stars."

  Ride became interested in space when she was a kid. "If you asked me when I was 12        whether I wanted to be an astronaut,I'm sure I would have said yes”, she said in a 2010 interview. "But I didn't even think about that as a possible career."

  After studying physics in college and graduate school,Ride got her chance. She was accepted into NASA's astronaut training programme in 1978,and then chosen to be the first American female in space. In 1983,she blasted into space aboard the Challenger shuttle. "There is no amusement park ride on the Earth that even comes so close," she said.

  Ride returned to space on the Challenger a second time in 1984. Between the two missions,she spent a total of 343 hours in orbit. After that,she re?mained involved with the space programme and also worked to share her pas?sion for science with kids. She coauthored six science books for children,and started her own science education company.

Ride knew that she held a unique place in history. "I realized how impor?tant it was for a woman to break that barrier and open the door for other women to be able to do the same exciting things that men had been doing," she said.

  Since Ride's historic trip,more than 40        other American women have travelled to space. They all had Ride to thank for opening the door to the final frontier.

5. Sally Ride was regarded as a national hero because she       .

   A. was the first American to travel to space

   A. she preferred a ride in an amusement park on the Earth

   B. the trip to space was like that in an amusement park

   C. she came close to an amusement park on the Earth

   D. the trip to space was far more interesting than any ride on the Earth

7. The correct order of the following events that happened to Sally Ride is      

   a. accepted into an astronaut training programme

   b. spent a total of 343 hours in orbit

   c. coauthored six science books for children

   d. travelled to space aboard the Challenger
