Can you remember how excited you were when the Shenzhou V and Shenzhou VI spacecraft went into space? And how interesting it was when the Chinese astronauts told us about what they had seen on the trip! Guess what? It’s time to get excited again. Shenzhou VII is just around the corner!Earlier this month, Chinese space scientists announced that Shenzhou VII will be sent up in 2008.“All our work on Shenzhou VII is going well,” said Qi Faren, former (前任的) chief designer（设计师） of the Shenzhou spaceship.

Will Shenzhou VII be sent up in time for the 2008 Beijing Olympics?

Scientists say no.

What about Chinese space exploration in the future?

(4)After the Shenzhou VII flight, China will build a space lab and then a space station.Chinese astronauts will then be able to do

experiments in space.

In Australia, primary school students have much free time. Every day, they begin their lessons at about 9:00 in the morning and finish them at 3:00 in the afternoon. (3)And Australian pupils have less homework than Chinese students. Usually they only get their homework on a piece of paper from the teacher once a week. Having finished their homework at home, some children watch TV, some play games and some children practise playing some instruments(乐器) for a while. But they don’t need to practise for a long time. What’s more, some children go to ride a bike in the street near the house after their homework. If they have other hobbies, they may spend some time on them. Sometimes children help set the table or doing other housework; sometimes they just feed and play with their pets. For example, they talk to the pet dog or the pet cat. And some children take their pet birds out of the cage and play with them.(4) If an Australian child loves reading, he can spend some time reading what he likes.

When weekends come, what do Australian children do? They are not busy doing their homework. What they do is helping clean the house, renting(租) a video to watch, or going out for a picnic with their friends or families.

Australian children usually have four holidays each year. The first one, also the longest one is the summer vacation, which lasts about 6 weeks from December to January. They have the second holiday from April to May for about two weeks. Australian winter vacation lasts from late June to early July for about two weeks.

They make their watermelons grow in square glass boxes so the watermelons become square. The only problem now is the price. The square watermelons cost about 80 dollars
