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.

The First Trip to the Moon

　　Many, many years ago, people thought the moon was far, and they didn't think it was a place to live, or a place to go.

　　

　　The first planes are quite slow. It is a joke to fly to the moon in a plane like that.

　　

　　Then the long jet planes come. Can a jet plane fly to the moon? No, it can't fly so far!

　　

　　The men in the space labs make planes. Do they think of a ship to take people to the moon? Yes ! A ship like this can fly to the moon and back about a week. To make a ship is a hard job．First, they must draw many sheets of plans. Then they make the parts and put them in place. At last, the ship is all set to go! On the day of the take-off , many people come to cheer for the men in the ship.

　　

　　People all over the world watch the ship fly to the moon. The first man goes down his steps till he stands on the moon! When the men come back from space, many people are waiting to greet them.

　　

　　The first trip to the moon is the first step to the space. And someday we may go to Mars, and then to the other stars!
