Two Chinese spacecrafts successfully completed China’s first space docking (对接) early November 3, 2011, which has taken the country a step closer to building its own space station.
Nearly two days after its launch, the unmanned spacecraft Shenzhou VIII docked with the space lab module Tiangong I more than 343 km above the earth surface. Shenzhou VIII and Tiangong I took apart after flying together for 12 days. On the 14th of November, the two spacecrafts finished the second docking. Then Shenzhou VIII parted from Tiangong I again and returned to the earth safely on the 17th. Tiangong I is still traveling around the earth in the space, waiting for the arrival of Shenzhou IX and X and so on in the near future.
That marked another great leap for China’s space program and made China the third country in the world, after the United States and Russia, master the space docking technique (空间对接技术).
The world’s first space docking was achieved in 1966, when the manned U.S, spacecraft Gemini 8 docked with an unmanned Agena Target Vehicle. Space docking is necessary to explore space beyond Earth’s orbit (轨道). “The capability increases China’s ability to act independently in space, as well as its ability to work together with others,” said Gregory Kulacki, a U.S. space scientist and senior analyst.
“With the success of its first space docking, China is now equipped with the basic technology and ability required for the construction of a space station,” said Zhou Jianping, chief designer of China’s manned space program.” The country is on its way to building a permanent manned space station around 2020.”

The Chang’e-3, named after a Chinese goddess, is China’s first spacecraft to make a soft landing on the moon. It contains a lander and a moon rover(月球车) called Yutu. The Chang’e-3 spacecraft is the second phase(阶段) China’s lunar programme, which includes orbiting, landing and returning to Earth. It follows the success of the Chang’e-1 and Chang’e-2 spacecraft in 2007 and 2010. The launch of Chang’e-3 was successful.
The Chang’e-3 is one of the most difficult tasks in China’s space programme, the news says. The news adds that exploring the universe(宇宙) and seeking peaceful use of space are dreams of Chinese for thousands of years.
With a lander and the moon rover Yutu, Chang’e-3 soft-landed(软着陆) on the moon at 9:11 p.m. Saturday. Yutu later separated(分离) from the lander and ran to the moon surface earlier Sunday.
China has chosen the name Yutu for its first moon rover, after a worldwide online poll(投票) attracted people to come up with names.
In Chinese folk tale, Yutu is the white pet rabbit of Chang’e, the moon goddess. Chang’e took her pet and flew toward the moon. She became a goddess and has lived there with the white animal ever since.
1.Which is the first spacecraft landed softly on the moon in China?
A.Chang’e-1 B. Chang’e-2
C. Chang’e-3 D. Yutu

A. Three B. Two C. One D. None
3. Who did the moon rover name after?
A. Chang’e B. the moon
C. the rabbit of Chang’e D. a little girl
4. Which of the following is Not true?
A. Chang’e-2 was set up in 2010.

On May 5, 2017, China's homemade passenger aircraft(飞机) C919 completed its 90minute first flight and landed safely back at Pudong Airport in Shanghai.
C919 is developed by COMAC, a Chinese aircraft company. It is designed to compete with Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. The first C919 aircraft can carry 168 passengers and is able to fly a distance between 4，075 and 5，555 kilometers. It's reported that a C919 costs around 50 million dollars, less than half of a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320. Up to now, more than 570 aircrafts have been ordered from 23 customers, mostly Chinese, but also American and Thai companies or airlines. COMAC aims to take one fifth of the world's narrowbody aircraft market and one third of the Chinese market by 2035.
The name C919 has its special meanings. The letter C stands for both “COMAC” and “China”. The number 9 is pronounced as jiu in Chinese, which means “forever”. And the number 19 refers to its capacity(容量) of 190 passengers.
The large passenger aircraft is praised as “the flower of modern industry”. It is a symbol of the nation's industrial and technological standards(水平) as well as the comprehensive(综合的) power. In order to realize the century dream of flying in the sky and the strategy(战略) of the nation, COMAC bears the nation's dream and people's trust. China considers it as a national pride.
