One day, I want    like Yang Liwei.

    If you watch the sky for about an hour after the sun goes down, you may see some "moving stars". But they are not real stars. They are man-made satellites.  And the biggest of all is the International Space Station (ISS). From May to July, it is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth. And people can see it with their eyes during the time.

    The scientists want to live on the ISS. They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.

    When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space.  People will stay and study there with many of the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built.  The ISS is the most expensive program. Billions of dollars are spent on it every year.  Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone for future space exploration. "The ISS will be more useful some day. The ISS will help us understand the human body better, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the earth better," said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.

    Sixteen countries are part of the space program, the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil, and 11 European countries. China isn't an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003, China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it.

    It was a fine spring day for a walk down the street. A mother and her two little girls walked along the sidewalk, happily laughing. 1 , hundred small alien ships appeared on the horizon. It started 2off some electric rays. People screamed. Children cried. There was 3 everywhere.

    There came the tingling sound of glasses, breaking everywhere. People fled in every 4. The mother was jostled(推) and lost hold of her5. She raced around shouting and crying for her kids. She thought they were lost to her forever.

    The sky cleared up. The aliens were 6. But there was no sight of the children. Heart-broken, the mother reached her house, crying her eyes out.

    She heard someone 7 "Mamma". Was it her kids? She frantically(发狂似地)8 around. There they were! Hand in hand they came running towards her. She ran towards them too. Her arms stretched out 9 to hug them. She opened her eyes. The pillow was wet. It was a dream!

    She raced to the kids' bedroom. Her lovely girls were sleeping peacefully. She kissed both their foreheads and 10"love you".
