A rocket began countdown(倒数计秒). It was a common sound in the 1960s. But this was not just another countdown. It was the beginning of a historic event. It was the countdown for Apollo 11 — the space flight that would carry men to the first landing on the moon.
In the spaceship at the top of the rocket were three American astronauts whose names would soon be known around the world: Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins.
Neil Armstrong was the commander of the spaceship. Edwin Aldrin was the pilot of the moon lander. The astronauts gave it the name the Eagle. Michael Collins was the pilot of the command module(驾驶舱), Columbia. He would wait in orbit around the moon while Armstrong and Aldrin landed and explored the surface.
On Earth, all activity seemed to stop. President Richard Nixon gave federal government workers the day off to watch the moon landing on television. Around the world, 500 million people watched the television report. Countless millions more listened on their radios.
Armstrong and Aldrin started the lander rocket engine. It slowed the spacecraft and sent it down toward the landing place. It was in an area known as the “Sea of Tranquility”.
The moon lander, controlled by a computer, dropped toward the airless surface of the moon. 140 meters from the surface, the astronauts took control of the lander from the computer. They moved the Eagle forward, away from a very rocky area that might have caused a difficult landing.
It took the astronauts more than three hours to complete the preparations for leaving the lander. It was difficult—in the Eagle’s small space—to get into space suits that would protect them on the moon’s surface.
Finally, Armstrong and Aldrin were ready. They opened the door. Armstrong went out first and moved slowly down the ladder. At 2:56 on July 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong put his foot on the moon.
“That’s one small step for man,” he said, “one giant leap for mankind.”
5. Why did the three American astronauts on Apollo 11 soon become famous around the world?
A. Because people had never seen such brave astronauts as them before.
B. Because the first landing on the moon attracted the world’s attention.
C. Because people all over the world watched the moon landing on TV live.

五、书面表达
Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. Sixty students out of one hundred think that an entrance fee should not be bought before one enters a park, for it is a place for the public to go to when they are free. If a ticket must be bought, a gate and walls have to be built for a park, which will make a city look ugly. Forty students out of one hundred think that an entrance fee should be bought before one enters a park, but the price of the ticket should be reasonable. Money that is got from ticket selling can be used to pay the gardening workers and buy different kinds of flowers and trees.
As for myself, I really think parks are good places to go to at weekends and on holidays. At the same time, we, as visitors, should pay the entrance fee when we enter a park. After all, it takes a lot of money to maintain a park in good working order. Do you agree with me, dear editor?
Yours truly,
Li Hua
