True friends are hard to find. Often you thought you could believe in someone, b     1 later he or she may let you down.

A true friend is someone who will always be there for you. T  2 good times or bad times, they will stand by your side. They will not l 3 you alone when things get difficult. They will a 4 you without trying to change you. A friend will b 5 new and exciting things into your life and make it richer.

True friends will keep your worst secrets as you will keep t 6 . They will be honest and you can always believe in them. If you talk to someone who you believe in, you don’t have to worry about what you may say. We can enjoy this freedom only with friends.

Friendship is a two-way street. To find a true friend and keep the friendship between you, you must do the same thing as w 7 . Be there for your friends when they are in need and share the good times with them .O 8 them the same things they give to you. Friendship will break quickly if only one person is giving and p 9 effort(努力) into it.

You will find there is nothing more v 10 than having a true friend by your side to share life with, just as someone says, “There is nothing on this earth more to be prized(珍惜) than true friendship.”

At 9 a.m. on October 15, 2003, our country launched (发射) its first manned (有人的) space-ship, Shenzhou V, into space at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Province. It took Yang Liwei and his spaceship about 21 hours to circle the earth 14 times. Yang Liwei is China’s first astronaut. He comes from Liaoning Province, and he has been an air force pilot(飞行员) since 1983. He was chosen from 14 pilots after many difficult tests.
The life of an astronaut is hard to imagine for many people. To put on a space suit takes 15 minutes with the help of others. Sleeping in space is not easy, either. He has to sleep in a special sleeping bag on the wall because there is no gravity. Yang can eat chicken and rice. It’s especially made to eat in space but it doesn’t taste nice.
“I’m feeling very good in space, and it looks wonderful here,” said Yang, “I have looked at our beautiful earth and I have recorded all that I have seen here.”
China has become the third country in the world to send a person into space after the former Soviet Union(前苏联) and the United States. China is now planning its next launch. Shenzhou VI will be into space within(在……之内) the next years, it may take three astronauts. We are all proud of our motherland.
【小题1】Shenzhou V was launched into space _____.
