第二節(jié)  讀寫任務(wù)(共l小題，滿分25分)

    閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語(yǔ)短文。

Barbara R. Morgan is now an astronaut by profession, heading into space this week for the first time on the space shuttle. But she said she was a teacher at her core. 

She said patience and perseverance were virtues that defined good schoolteachers. Living her principles, she is about to fulfill a two-decade-old dream by becoming the first “educator astronaut” when she and six fellow astronauts blast off in the space shuttle Endeavour on Wednesday on a mission to the International Space Station.

The flight will also fulfill a dream deferred from January 1986, when the shuttle Challenger blew up during takeoff, killing a crew that included the first designated teacher in space, Christa McAuliffe, Ms. Morgan’s friend, a high school teacher from Concord, N.H.. Not losing faith in the program, Ms. Morgan, as the backup teacher for that mission, kept the dream alive even when returning to the classroom. In 1998 Ms. Morgan got the call from NASA and returned to NASA that year to become the first educator astronaut.

The 22 years since NASA first selected Ms. Morgan to fly does not seem as long to her as many people think. “It really hasn’t been waiting; it’s been working,” she said. “Working as a teacher, and working to be an astronaut.”

The teacher-astronaut said she was looking forward to returning to the classroom after her flight to share her experiences. But she also would love to fly again. “I’ll be available,” she said.
