College
Interviewer: Today we are very pleased to chat with Mr
Yang Liwei, the first Chinese astronaut.
Welcome to the show, Mr Yang.
Mr Yang: Thank you.
Interviewer: Mr Yang, our audience is very curious about
how you succeeded in becoming China's
first astronaut. It must have been a very
difficult thing to achieve. Did you always
want to be an astronaut
Mr Yang: Yes, I dreamt of it when I was young, but I
never thought my wish would come true. It
took a long time. First, I got my college
degree when I was 22, and then I worked as a
Tapescripts
fighter pilot for around 10 years. I finally
became China's first astronaut when I was 38
years old.
Interviewer: Oh, so you must be a really experienced pilot.
Do you think that was one of the reasons why
you were chosen for the space programme
Mr Yang: Sure, I had 1, 350 hours of flight experience,
which I think really helped me.
Interviewer: So how difficult was it to join the space
programme
Mr Yang: There was a lot of competition. Altogether, 14
of us were chosen from among 1,500 pilots to
train for space flights.
Interviewer: That sounds really difficult. Did you also
have to be a certain size and weight
Mr Yang: Yes, at the time, you had to be shorter than 172
centimetres in height and weigh less than 70
kilograms. You also had to be in perfect health
and perfect shape.
Interviewer: So you were the perfect choice! As we all know,
an astronaut needs to be healthy and calm in
order to work in space. But you also had to
study a lot, too, right
Mr Yang: Yes, I had to learn English, science, and
astronomy. I also had to practise using space
equipment, and do a lot of mental and physical
training. It was very tiring, but I was so proud
to have the opportunity.

Gravity
One day, Isaac Newton sat Not only apples, but all of us
And saw an apple fall. Stay still though Earth spins round.
Then he thought, “It’s not just fruit! Of course, we know that this is true!
Something pulls us all.” Earth goes round but we stay still.
“There is a force,” he said to himself, What goes up must come down,
“That pulls things to the ground, And it always will.”
