　　A Story about My Brother

　　My brother lived in Guizhou, a western province of China, at his young age. He didn’t study hard because he didn’t know the importance of knowledge at that time.

　　But when he grew up, he came to Shanghai, a modern city where we live now. He began to study hard. At first, he worked as a worker in a factory. Later, he was interested in computer. He read a lot of books and learnt a lot in his spare time. Now he is working in an IT company.

　　Working in an IT company is his dream and it came true at last. I am very proud of my brother.

　　The first flight

　　Not many people saw this first flight. Only four men and a boy watched it. The aeroplane did not fly very far: only 36.5 meters. It did not fly very high: only3.5 meters. It did not fly very fast: only at 48 kilometers per hour. It did not fly for very long: only for 12 seconds. However, it was the first aeroplane to fly.

　　How does a rocket fly?

　　Scientists wanted to know more about the universe. They thought the best way was to send men to the space. For example, the moon is about 384,000 kilometers away from the earth. A plane cannot fly to the Moon because the air reaches only 240 kilometers away from the earth. But something can fly even when there is no air. That is a rocket.

　　How does a rocket fly? There is gas in the rocket. When the gas is made very hot inside the rocket, it will rush out of the end of the rocket, so it can make the rocket fly up into the sky. Rockets can fly far out into the space. One day rockets may be able to go to any place in space.

　　Our dream came true

　　Up to now, China is the third country to send a man to space. The first person in space was Yuri Gagarin from the USSR. Mr. Gagarin was sent into space on April 12, 1961 aboard Vostok1. His flight lasted 108 minutes.

　　Neil Armstrong from the USA was the first man to set foot on the moon. When the Apollo 11 space team landed on the moon, he was the first person to step out of the spaceship, onto the moon on July21, 1969.

　　At 9 am October 15, 2003, the astronaut Yang Lwei flew into the space aboard the manned spacecraft designed and produced by China. Yang Lwei was one of best astronauts among 1,500 astronauts for space flight training. China's first team of astronauts is all able of working and living in space because they all had five years of hard training. The astronaut Yang Lwei make our dream true. We are so proud of him.
