Do you want to spend your holidays in hotels on the Moon? At the moment, there are no hotels on the Moon. But all this will change. If we can solve some problems, we will be able to build hotels there in the future. The Moon is very cold, so the hotels will have to be warm. They will also need a large amount of air so that people there can breathe. The hotels on the Moon will have rooms with big windows so that you can see the Earth. You will be able to swim in the hotel swimming pool and see all the stars around you. But you should not get too excited. A trip to the Moon will cost a lot of money! |

When I was eight, I got a book about stars. That was the beginning of my lifetime hobby. I used to go outside with my mum on clear nights and look at the sky. It looked like black velvet with a million diamonds on it. In different seasons we saw different groups of stars. Sometimes we saw stars shooting brightly across the sky. How beautiful they were! Studying the stars was great fun for me. Once 1 learnt a little about them, I soon wanted to find out more and more. Now it is my career (职业). I host a TV programme called The Sky at Night. I use my knowledge to tell people about the stars in a lively way. I am proud of my TV programme—it has lasted for more than 50 years! Actually, you can turn your hobby into your career too. Anybody can achieve their dreams. You just have to enjoy what you do! |
Two young Chinese names shone brightly at the Beijing 2022 Winter Games: skier Gu Ailing and snowboarder Su Yiming. They both won medals and made history. People call them "prodigies (天才)", but they don't quite agree on it.
Gu was born in the US. She started to ski at 3 and began professional training at 8.
Now she's an Olympic champion, a fashion model, and going to Stanford University this fall. How can she achieve so much?" Only 1 percent of it came from my gift (天分), "said Gu. "People don't see how I train, fall and make mistakes every day. "
Su Yiming is a boy from Jilin. He began to learn snowboarding at the age of4. In 2015, the news came that Beijing would hold the 2022 Games. Su was in primary school then. "I promised myself that I would try to make it to my home Olympics. To many people, it sounded like an unrealistic goal," said Su. Now with a gold and a silver hung around his neck, Su is "so proud" of himself. "If you have a goal, go for it!" said Su after his Olympic win. "Hard work never cheats(欺骗)you."
