阅读理解。     SOUTHPORT, ENGLAND-A British teaching union famous for strange ideas has supported proposal to
employ dogs as classroom assistants.
     At the annual conference of the Professional Association of teachers in Southport, northwest of England,
one person suggested properly trained dogs be able to keep order in primary schools. They can round up lost
children and protect those who experience unfortunate"accidents". Wendy Dyble, a Sheetland Islands woman
who teaches children up to age seven, made it clear to her fellow friends that she was not "barking mad". They
obviously believed her, supporting her idea by 16 votes to 13, with a total of 63 abstentions.
     He said big dogs could help round up children, keep them in line, lick up the milk they spill on the floor and
provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order."A big dog would also be helpful for breaking up
fights and look for lost property, like gym shoes or dolls," Dyble said at the conference."The dog will also be
useful in sniffing out smells that children do not own up to," she added. "It would be nice for the teacher not to
have to go round sniffing each child to find the culprit."
     The idea was greeted by the Dog Defense League but less so by bigger teaching unions. A spokesman for
Education Secretary David Blunkett, who is blind, said his guide dog was always popular with pupils when he
visited schools. The Professional Association of Teachers, with around 35,000 members, is the smallest
teaching union in Britain. It has an honour for occasional strange ideas.
     Earlier this week, its annual conference here suggested stopping exams because they lead to stress and
introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination and manual skill in the use of hand. 1. According to the writer"s opinion, to employ dogs as classroom assistants _____.A. is a wonderful idea
B. can improve the relation between children and animals
C. is beyond ordinary people"s minds
D. can make some teachers lose jobs 2. What Dyble said at the conference _____. A. gained some support from the members
B. frightened everyone at the conference
C. interested everyone at the conference
D. caused some trouble to trained dogs3. A spokesman for Education Secretary _____. A. once used a dog as classroom assistant
B. sang high praise for Dyble"s idea
C. would employ dogs as teachers
D. benefited from dogs more than others 4. The last paragraph of this passage _____. A. has nothing to do with the topic of this passage
B. shows there are too many exams in British school

                                                             A Giant Leap for China
     A few days ago, he was just Colonel(上校) Yang; few people knew his name or recognized his face. But
last Thursday, when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space, Yang Liwei"s smile was seen
across the world above the magic words:"China"s first spaceman".
     The 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9 a.m. Last Wednesday by China"s Shenzhou Ⅴ
spacecraft, which orbited the earth 14 times. He landed safely at 6:23 a.m. The next day, making China the
third country successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the US.
     Yang was satisfied with his job."I have seen many landing scenes before on video, and I think ours was
one of the most successful," He said on a special plane to Beijing after landing. Born into an ordinary family in
Liaoning Province, he became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force in 1987,spending 1350 hours in the air. He joined
the Chinese space programme 11 years later.
     While in space, Yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing China"s national flag and the United
Nations" flag to the people watching on TV at home. He also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice, before
taking a 3-hour nap. The whole project went according to plan, but space exploration is not as easy as it seems.
     Anyone who saw the destruction of the US space shuttle Columbia in February this year will know that
Yang took a great risk.
     He experienced extremely high temperatures, while the gravitation (重力) on take-off and landing were
strong enough to force tears from his eyes.
     He has spent five years training to become a spaceman.
     "I eat all of my meals at the space programme"s dinning room and have never been able to take my son to
kindergarten," he said."I"ve never met his teachers."
     But becoming China"s first spaceman has made all the effort worthwhile. "When I boarded the spacecraft
for the first time,I couldn"t help feeling excited," he said."I decided that I had to fly it."
     To Chinese people, Yang is now a hero. One visitor to a Xinhua news agency online forum(网上论坛)said,
"Yang"s trip is a giant leap forward for China."
     Officials say the next Shenzhou will be launched by 2005.China also plans to develop spacewalking and a
space lab.
