阅读理解。    China news, Xichang, Oct 19-The Chang"e No. 1 moon probe satellite took its name after a young and
beautiful goddess in a traditional Chinese legend who lived in her palace on the moon with her pet rabbit.
Compared with the legendary fairy maiden, the satellite, with a weight of more than 2 tons, might appear
large and hefty. However, scientists believed that the satellite could fly to the moon in a graceful way during
the upcoming launch, just like what the fairy maiden did as described in the legend.
    The main tasks facing Chang"e No. 1 are to take the 3D pictures of the moon and to explore the moon
surface environment. Compared with manned spacecraft Shenzhou 5 and Shenzhou 6, Chang"e No.1 is
a small satellite. While scientists need to add four boosters to send Shenzhou 5 and Shenzhou 6 into space,
the launch of Chang"e No. 1 will not need any booster at all. Since Chang"e No. 1 satellite is a small device,
the loading capacity of the Chang"e satellite launch will be much lighter. In sending large satellites, the total
weight of the satellite and the carrier rocket can be as many as 400 tons or more. However, Chang"e No.1
and its carrier rocket, Long March 3A, weigh only 250 tons.
    The Chang"e No.1 satellite will fly around the earth for a couple of times before it shifts to the moon orbit.
After that, 13 monitoring devices that are placed on the earth will adjust its flying positions in space. By then,
people might see that the moon probe satellite will turn swiftly in space. 1. Why is the moon probe satellite named Chang"e?
    __________________________________________________________________
2. What carried Chang"e to space?
    __________________________________________________________________
3. What will the moon probe satellite fly around in the end?
    __________________________________________________________________

     Be as Good as Your Words Japanese Prime Minister (首相) Junichiro Koizumi on April 22 apologized (道歉)
for his country"s past in the wars. 
     "In the past, Japan did great damage (破坏) and brought suffering to the people of many countries, especially
those in Asia," he said.
     He was talking to 100 Asian and African leaders at a meeting in Jakarta, Indonesia.
     China and Japan are having a hard time these days. China is angry at Japan because Japan doesn"t face its
past.
     For example, Japan started the war with Chian in the 1930s and 1940s. But one of its new history textbooks
says China started the war!
     Chinese Chairman Hu Jintao met Koizumi on April 23. Hu said China wanted to be friends with Japan. But he
 also told Koizumi that Japan needed to use history as a mirror (镜子) and face the past.

good for both countries.
     The two countries sell a lot of goods to each other .Last year ,China overtook the US to become the biggest
trading partner (贸易伙伴) with Japan.
     Koizumi"s apology is a good start. Now, it"s important for Japan to match its words with action.
