       When an earthquake hit a small town, many houses fell down. After the earthquake，all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.

       One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, a special picture touches(触动)me. It suggested everyone should give something helpful to the people in the earthquake. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves. I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan. "We have so much, and these poor people now have nothing. We'll share what we have with them.”

       I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this, I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and give away some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly when the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy, her much-loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. "Oh, dear,” I said. “You don't have to give Lucy. You love her so much.” Meghan said, “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she'll make another little girl happy, too.”

       I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It's easy to give something that we don't  want any more，but harder to give what we cherish(珍爱), isn’t it?

　　October 12, 2005 was a special day for 11-year-old Nie Tianxiang. That day she went to the Beijing Aeronautics Control Center（北京航天飞行控制中心）with her mum to celebrate her father's 41st birthday. Her father, Shenzhou VI astronaut Nie Haisheng, was in earth orbit（轨道）. At nine o'clock that morning, Nie Haisheng and his partner Fei Junlong were launched aboard China's second manned（载人的）spaceship.

　　Two years ago China sent his first space hero（英雄）, Yang Liwei, into the sky aboard Shenzhou Ⅴ. This turned a new leaf in history as China became the third country to mount manned space missions, after the US and Russia.

　　But this time China took another big step forward by launching two astronauts instead of one. The two were to stay in space longer, about four to five days, compared with Yang's 21 hours. In Shenzhou Ⅵ, Nie and Fei can move freely in two capsules（舱）, while Yang Liwei had only one capsule. The two astronauts also have new tasks（任务）. They keep records of any problems to tell scientists how to do better the next time. They also do scientific experiments（科学实验）in space. This is only the second step of China's space program. The country plans to build its first space station in the future. Longer plans include（包括）a landing on the moon. When Nie Tianxiang talked to her father by telephone and sang“Happy Birthday”, TV viewers（观众）on earth saw the space hero slightly wipe his eyes.
