  Victor's hobby was collecting stamps. He had stamps from many countries, like England, Canada and
China. On his birthday, can you guess what people gave him? That's right---stamps.
  Victor's favourite stamps came from France. He had almost every stamp from 1954 to 2004. He
only needed one. That was a 1974 special edition. It was very hard to find.
  He looked for it everywhere. He asked his friends and relatives to help him.But nobody could find the
stamp. It made Victor very sad.
  "Don't worry. Never give up," his father said to him. "If you have enough patience, you'll find it one
day."
  "I hope so," Victor said.
  Victor also liked writing. He had a penfriend in France. They wrote to each other every month.
Victor's penfriend, Phillip, usually used new stamps to send letters. Sometimes, his mother gave him stamps
to use. Once Phillip's mother gave him a big, green stamp. It looked old. When Victor received the letter,
he
was very surprised. On the envelope, he looked carefully at the stamp. It was the 1974 special edition
stamp. Victor was so happy. He told his sister, his mother and his father. " You see," his father said. "You
did find your stamp. So, it's good to have two things in life."
  "What are they?" Victor asked.

  Rockets(火箭)can fly far out into space.Rockets with men inside them have already reached the moon in the USA and Russia.Several rockets without men inside them have been sent to other worlds much farther away.On Nov.7, 2007, China’s first lunar probe, Chang’e I, successfully has completed its 1,580,000 km flying journey to the moon.

  I am sure that you are asking ‘How does a rocket fly?’ If you want to know, get a balloon and then blow it up, until it is quite big.Do not tie up the neck of the balloon, let it go.The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly.The air inside the balloon tries to get out.It rushes out through the neck of the balloon and this pushes the balloon through the air.

  This is how a rocket works.Of course, the rocket is made of metal.The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong.There is gas inside the rocket, which is made very hot.When it rushes out of the end of the rocket, the rocket is pushed up into the air.The jet velocity(噴射速度)is always faster than the flying speed.

  We’re sure that one day rockets with man may be able to go anywhere in space.

(1)

[  ]

[  ]

[  ]
