It is interesting how NASA(ÃÀ¹úº½¿Õº½Ìì¹ÜÀí¾Ö)chose their astronauts for landing them on the moon. They chose men  16 the age of twenty and thirty-five. There were about fifty of them, Many were  17  air pilots.  18 were scientists with two or three degrees. NASA telephoned each man they were going to choose; told him the plans and the   19  they might get in. They then asked him if he was willing to be trained as an astronaut. ¡°How could any man   20  such an exciting job?¡± One of them said, ¡°Dangerous? Of course. It¡¯s dangerous   21  most exciting¡±

While being trained to be astronauts. They went through many  24 . They studied the star and the moon, and they also studied geology, the science of rocks. This was necessary   25 astronauts would have to look for rocks on the moon. They would try to find rocks which might help to tell the   26 of the moon. They were all   27  to fly in helicopters £¨Ö±Éý·É»ú£©¡£These helicopters landed   28  down to give them some experience of the way the spaceship would  29  land on the moon , They were also taught the   30  facts about the conditions in space. They learnt all the technical details of the spaceships and rockets. They visited the scientists and engineers who   31 them. They visited the factories where they were   32. They learnt how every   33 of a space-ship and its instruments work. They also learnt every detail of ground-control  34 .

Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.
The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer-Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.
Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius¡¯ Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words¡°Post Office¡± instead of¡°Post Paid¡± on the several hundred stamps that he printed.
Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues. Because of the Two Penny Blue¡¯s rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as ¡ç16 800 for it.

Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most
about. I know this from personal experience.
E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren¡¯t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she¡¯d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you
do something fun see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.
With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of
staying in touch. They don¡¯t take the place of any of the old ways.
