At 9.07a.m Moscow time on 12 th April ,1961 , Yuri Gagarin lifted off into space abroad the Vostok 1. Approximately 12 minutes later , the first human being was in orbit around the Earth at a speed of more than 17,000 miles per hour .His flight lasted 108 minutes . The 27-year-old Soviet cosmonaut became the first person to eat and drink in weightlessness .From his window in space , Gagarin was able to view the earth in a way that no human beings had done before .The first words spoken from space were :” I see the Earth . It’s so beautiful !” Before Gagarin’s historic flight , there were still enormous uncertainties .No one knew precisely what would happen to a human being in space .How would the body react to the extreme changes in temperature ? How would the mind deal with the psychological tension ? If there was a technical failure , Gagarin might never get back to the Earth . The success of Gagarin’s flight attracted worldwide attention and made him a hero .In a telegram to Moscow, U.S .President John F.Kennedy wrote ,” The people of the United States share with the people of the Soviet Union their satisfaction for the safe light of the astronaunt in man’s first venture into space .We congratulate you and the Soviet scientists and engineers who made this feat possible …” Gagarin could have made another space flight if a tragic accident had not occurred .He died in plane crash on a routine training flight in March 1968 .After his death , his hometown of Gzhatsk was renamed Gagarin , and the Cosmonaut Training Centre at Star City , Russia , was given the name of this national hero . * Questions : 1.How old was Gagarin when he became the first human being in space ? ………………………………………………………………………………………………. 2.

They can sleep in sleeping bags or tents . * Tapescript Three American students are talking about how they would like to spend their summer holiday . ANNA : It’s hot and humid in New York City in the summer and I often feel depressed then. So in July and August I often go out of the city to the west where there are some beautiful national parks and forests .I often go with my friends , and we spend about two weeks in a national park every year . We might stay at camgrounds in the park , but wilderness areas are more fun . What we enjoy most is to ride our dirt bike in the desert , take showers in waterfalls and swim in lakes and rivers . And at night we sleep in our sleeping bags or tents and cook on our gas stove .It’s wonderful that we can live in nature and enjoy it . TERRY : I used to go to the mountains , the desert, and other palces with spectacular scenery in summer . I don’t any more , although I’m still attracted to the beauty of nature . But I do think these natural places aren’t as beautiful as they used to be . Now more and more people are going to these places . They leave trash in the forests ,and take rocks and plants with them. They don’t care about nature .I believe not only people are important to the world-nature is important ,too . MARY : Like most other people I’m very fond of natural spectacular scenery , but when I travel , I spend most of my time in cities .Why I don’t want to live in nature and enjoy it ? It’s the solitude of the wilderness .It’s for animals and plants , not for me . I hate camping ,too . I can’t put up an umbrella tent in the wild , I can’t make a fire in the rain , and a backpack is usually too heavy for me . So I’d better stay in the cities and enjoy the comfort they offer.
