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 fighter pilot for around
听力原文
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.
Listen for numbers
Number questions are typically related to: time, telephone numbers, addresses, prices, weights, distances, etc.
When you listen for numbers, you need to pay special attention to big numbers as well as those that sound quite similar, such as thirteen and thirty, fourteen and forty, etc.
几月几号
eg:2月27号，英文表达为：February 27th，也可以不加th，直接写为 Februrary 27或27 February
口语中可为 twenty-seventh February
6.1号June the 1st 8.8号
年份
1."年份"一般分为两个单位来读，前两个数为一个单位，后两个数为一个单位。如2016读作twenty sixteen
2.“千”年的读法：像2000年一般读成two thousand, 2001年则读成two thousand and one
3.第三个数字为“零”（其他数字不是“零”）的年份的读法例如： 1809年读作 eighteen O nine
练习：2020 1906
数字
基数词的读法
在英式英语中，一个数的最后两位(十位和个位)得用“and”，但美式英语中则不用。如：3,077(U.S):three thousand，seventy-seven
146读作：a hundred(and)forty-six
1,031读作：a thousand,(and)thirty-one
1,150读作：one thousand,one hundred(and)fifty
hundred，thousand和million这几个词的单数可以和"a"或者"one"连用，但是不能单独使用。在非正式文体中"a"比较常见；当我们说话比较准确的时候就用"one"
练习：250 12,500
分数/百分数
分数、小数和百分比的读法；分数中分子用基数词表示、分母用序数词表示。先读分子，后读分母。当分子大于1时，分母要加“s”。
例如： 2/3 two thirds
口诀：分子基数词，分母序数词，分子大于1，分母加s.
练习：1/3 2/5 20%

Astronauts not only had to learn how to use space equipment, but also had to do a lot of mental and physical training. (P38)
宇航员不仅要学习如何使用太空设备，而且还要进行大量的心理和身体素质训练。
改为倒装句：
Not only did astronauts have to learn how to use space equipment, but also had to do a lot of mental and physical training.
· not only 后要将be 动词 / 助动词 / 情态动词 提到主语之前
· but also 后不倒装
前倒后不倒
倒装是一种语法手段，用于表示一定的句子结构或强调某一句子成分。
在倒装句中，颠倒了的成分可以恢复原位而句意基本不变，句法成分不变。
完全倒装和部分倒装
完全倒装---把整个谓语放到主语前
Below are two texts about Peru.
Especially amazing is the Inca’s dry stone method of building.
There comes a time when the old must give way to the new.
部分倒装---只把谓语的一部分(如助动词、情态动词、be动词等)放到主语前
Never will I do this kind of thing.
总结： __________位于句首时，用部分倒装。
1. 否定副词 + be 动词 + 主语 + 表语 +其他
1) Never in all of San Francisco’s history were her people so kind
as on this night of terror.
2) Not only is she interested in languages, but she’s keen on art.
2. 否定副词 + 情态动词 + 主语 + 谓语 +其他
Never can I make it.
3. 否定副词+ 助动词 + 主语 + 谓语 + 其他
Never before in history has a city been so completely destroyed.
仿句: 周末他很少去公园。
Seldom does he go to the park at weekends.

no, not, never, seldom, little, hardly

Before you listen, look at the pictures below and guess whether they would be useful for astronauts in space.
1.What did Captain Brown usually wear inside the station
2.How did he prepare his food in space
3.How did he keep himself clean in space
4.How did he spend most of his time in space
5.How did he do during his free time
6.How did he look forward to most during his stay in space
Listen and answer the questions.
He used a soapy towel to wash.
He wore shorts and a T-shirt.
The food was prepared and stored for him. He just had to heat the food and enjoy it.
He was often busy doing different experiments.
He played the guitar and chess.
He looked forward to having a weekly video call with his family most.

Captain Brown:
Hello, Captain Brown. You’re back on Earth now. Are you happy to be back
Well, yes and no. It’s great to see my family again, but I also miss the International Space Station. I’ve gotten used to floating around just wearing shorts and a T-shirt.
So let me ask about the space station. Was eating in space difficult
Not really. We don’t have to cook in space. We choose what we want to eat before we go to space, and then the food is prepared and stored for us. We just have to heat the food and enjoy it.
Cool. Well, I know astronauts cannot shower in space since the water would float away, so I’d love to know how you keep yourselves clean.
Oh, we use a soapy towel to wash. And we brush

Captain Brown:
our teeth the same way as we do on Earth. But astronauts usually swallow their toothpaste.
Gosh, I hope it tasted good! So how long did you stay in space during your last mission
I was there for more than five months.
Wow! So what kind of work did you do up there
I was usually busy doing different experiments.
Did you have any free time Do astronauts get time off
Yes. When I was free, I played the guitar. That’s right—I took my guitar with me. I also played chess. My favorite thing to do, though, was to have my weekly video call with my family.
Work in groups. Imagine you are going to space camp and Captain Brown has been invited to give a talk. Discuss the questions you would like to ask him and then make a list.
Example
A: Hey, guys. We’re going to meet a real astronaut. Isn’t it exciting
B: Yeah. I can’t wait to see Captain Brown! I’m really curious about his life in space. I have plenty of questions to ask him.
C: Such as
B: Oh, such as what facilities do they have in space to support their daily life
C: That sounds like a good question. But I’d also like to know about how astronauts sleep. What do they so as not to float around while they sleep
