Please think about how we learn to ride a bicycle. There are some stages (阶段): at the first stage, the child doesn’t know what it is to ride a bicycle. So look at ourselves, when we got in touch with English at the first time, we were also in this condition（情况）.

And then it is the second stage. The child cannot ride by himself. But he grows and understands what it is to ride a bicycle. So, at this time, teachers play an important role. So according to this, we are just like the child

starting to learn and now come to the third stage. He can ride a bicycle but has to think every time how to do it.

At last, the last stage comes when the child practises riding the bicycle so much that he doesn’t have to think. Riding a bicycle becomes a kind of habit. He can talk to people and wave to others while riding.

Learning English is just like learning to ride a bicycle. When learning becomes a kind of habit, we will find we can be successful not only in English but also in other subjects. When learning becomes a kind of habit, I believe one day we will succeed and the -success. will belong to us forever.

Space travel is nothing new. The first spacecraft with a human was sent up(被发送) into space in 1961. After that, people not only travel to space, but many of them also live there in space stations for some time.

The Soviet Union(前苏联) made the first space station in 1971. It named it “Salyut I”. Salyut I is a place where people can live when they are in space. The first group of astronauts lived there for 23 days. Then the Soviet Union made more Salyut space stations. Astronauts often lived in these space stations for a short time. After the Soviet Union sent the Mir space station during the late 1980s, people began to live in space for a longer time. Mir stayed in space from 1989 to 2001. Living in space stations seems to be fun, but astronauts face many problems. One of them is food. All the meals in space stations are put together on Earth and sent there by space shuttles (航天飞机). The space station does not have a fridge, but it has a cool room to keep fruit and vegetables fresh.
