Unit 4 Space Exploration ---录音原文--- Interviewer: Today we are very pleased to chat with Mr. Yang Liwei, the first Chinese astronaut. Welcome to the show, Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang: Thank you. Interviewer: Mr. Yang, our audience is very curious about how you succeeded in becoming China’s first astronaut. It must have been a very difficult thing to achieve. Did you always want to he on astronaut? Mr Yang: Yes, I dreamt of it when I was young, but I never thought my wish would come true. It took a long time. First, I got my college degree when I was 22, and then I worked as a fighter pilot for around 10 years. I finally became Chinas first astronaut when I was 38 years old. Interviewer: Oh so you must be a really experienced pilot. Do you think that was one of the reasons you were chosen for the space programme? Mr Yang: Sure, I had 1, 350 hours of flight experience, which I think really helped me. Interviewer: So how difficult was it to join the space programme? Mr Yang: There was a lot of competition. Altogether, 14 of us were chosen from among 1, 500 pilots to train for space flights. Interviewer: That sounds really difficult. Did you also have to be a certain size and weight? Mr Yang: Yes, at the time, you had to be shorter than 172 centimetres in height and weigh less than 70 kilograms. You also had to be in perfect health and perfect shape. Interviewer: So you were the perfect choice! As we all know an astronaut needs to be healthy and calm in order to work in space. But you also had to study a lot, too, right? Mr Yang: Yes, I had to learn English, science, and astronomy. I also had to practise using space equipment, and do a lot of mental and physical training. It was very tiring, but I was so proud to have the opportunity. Pronunciation
