At a nation’s saddest moment, its greatest heroes are born.
  On September 11th, 2001, many police officers and government officials in America worked day and night to save lives from the big fire at the World Trade Centre. And in Japan, after the serious earthquake, a group of workers showed their courage.
  The earthquake on March 11th made Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant(福島核電站) turn off and stop its protective cooling systems. And later, a fire broke out.  Workers were told that the plant’s radiation(輻射) could be harmful to human health. Hundreds of workers left the plant quickly. However, a group of workers decided to fight against the fire and the damage, though they knew it could cause very serious health problems. There were 50 workers in all, so they were also named the "Fukushima 50". The workers worked in shifts(輪班).
  People knew little about the workers, who were mainly experts (專家) with the skills to control the situation. One woman said that her father had volunteered to stay there. “I heard that he volunteered even though he would retire(退休) in just half a year and my eyes were filled with tears.

Two Chinese spacecrafts successfully completed China’s first space docking 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, to master the space docking technique (空間對接技術(shù)).
The world’s first space docking was achieved in 1966, when the manned U.S, spacecraft Gemini 8 (雙子星8號) docked with an unmanned Agena Target Vehicle (阿金納目標(biāo)飛行器). Space docking is necessary to explore space beyond Earth’s orbit. “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.”
小題1:What did the success of the first space docking mean to China?
A.China has caught up with the United States in the space exploration field.
B.China took a step closer to building its own space station.
C.China became the first country to master the space docking technique.
D.China has the ability to build a permanent manned space station right now.
小題2:What does the underlined word “That” in the third paragraph refer to?
A.Shenzhou VIII.
B.Tiangong I
C.The Space Station
D.The success of China’s first space docking
小題3:What can we learn from the passage? 
A.Tiangong I will fly in the space for 12 days.
B.The first space docking of the world was achieved in 1966, by Russians.
C.Without space docking technique people can’t explore space beyond Earth’s orbit.
D.The U.S.A helped China achieve the first space docking.
小題4:What’s the best title of this passage?
A.The first space docking of China.
B.The history of space docking.
C.The first space docking of the world.
D.The space docking technique

Are you carrying too much on your back at school? You’re not alone. Back experts(專家) in the USA are worried about that young students are having back and neck problems because they are carrying too much in their backpacks .
“It hurts my back when I run,” said Ebelin Reyes, a student in Virginia. “It’s hard to get up the stairs with my backpack because it’s too heavy.” Students have to carry heavy backpacks on their backs for a whole week’s study. Ebelin is one of them. They have   regular(固定的)backpacks with two straps(帶子) to carry them, but a number of students with heavy loads(負(fù)擔(dān)) have switched to rolling backpacks. The backpacks have wheels and can roll on the ground. Shirley Park’s backpack weighs 10 kilos, and she said, “I’ll change to a rolling backpack because I am starting to have back pain.”
How much is too much? Experts say that students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight. A few students have had a good idea to lighten(減輕) the load: less homework.
Doctor’s suggestions:
Lighten the load. Take home only the books the students need that day.
(2) Wide straps are better. They can send out weight over your shoulders (肩)and be sure to wear backpacks with two straps.
(3) The heaviest things should be packed closest to the back.
(4) Bend(彎曲) both knees when you pick up the pack, don’t just bend over the waist(腰).
