　　October 12, 2005 was a special day for 11-year-old Nie Tianxiang．That day she went to the Beijing Aeronautics Control Center with her mum to celebrate her father's 41st birthday．When Nie Tianxing talked to her father by telephone and sang“Happy birthday”, TV viewers on earth saw the space hero slightly wipe his eyes．

　　Two years ago China sent its first space hero, 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．They have new tasks．They keep records of any problems to tell scientists how to do even better the next time．They also perform scientific experiments in space．

　　This is only the second step of China's space program．The country plans to build its first station in the future．Longer plans include a landing on the moon．

　　Swimming can be lots of fun．We enjoy ourselves when swimming in the sea or in public swimming pools．We know, many beaches and swimming pools usually have life-guards to look after the swimmers．But still there are people drowned(溺水)every year．Why does this happen? What can we do about it? Here are some things we should do．

　　Learn to float and swim with the help of your friend or an instructor．This is the most important thing for anyone who wants to swim．The best place to learn is in a swimming pool, where there are no big waves．Never try to swim in rivers．It is very dangerous! You don't know how deep it might be．

　　Do some warm-up exercises and take a shower before swimming．Always swim in water that is not deep for you to stand up before you become a very good swimmer．

　　Do not push or splash(溅湿)in the water．Swimming can be tiring, so do not stay in the water when you are tired．If you get into difficulty in the water, keep calm!If you keep calm, you will not sink．Most people are drowned because they become frightened．Remember you have learnt how to float!

　　Never go swimming alone．Go with some friends．If you find one of your friends is in danger, keep calm! Decide the best way to help him．If you cannot reach him, ask a life-guard．

　　All living things on the earth need other living things to live．Nothing lives alone．Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind．Sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten．Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain(食物链), some food chains are simple, which others are not．But all food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears．

　　All life needs sunlight to live on．But only plants can use sunlight directly．Plants are“factories”They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil and air．

　　Plants feed all other living things．Animals can only use the sun's energy after it has been changed into food by plants．Some animals feed directly on plants and some indirectly．

　　What about human beings? We are members of many food chains．We eat wheat, rice, vegetables, fruits and so on．We also eat meat and drink milk．But men often break up the food chains．They kill wild animals．They also make rivers, lakes and seas dirty．When these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them can not be eaten．If men eat the fish, they will get strange diseases．Each from of life is linked to all others．Breaking the links puts all life in danger．

　　In the end, the artist could not pay the bill, and the beggar had to do so．The artist felt very sorry for it, so he said to the beggar,“Come home with me in a taxi, my friend．And I'll give you the money for our lunch．”
