Slowly but surely, Amy and her grandparents were making progress. Boxes of all sizes were placed on top of
each other throughout the house. Amy’s grandparents had lived in the house for years and they had decided to
move.The dining room was full of memories. Amy’s grandfather kept many fine dinner plates from his hometown.
Amy remembered that they ate from the red, yellow, and blue plates during important holidays.
After carefully packing the plates and putting them into a box, Amy lifted it up and moved it out of the way.
But the box was too heavy. It suddenly fell from her arms and dropped to the floor. All three of them heard the
plates shatter(破碎).
“I’m sorry!” Amy apologized.
“It’s okay,” her grandfather said quietly. “It was an accident.”
,
They opened the box and sure enough, many of the plates were broken. Only a few remained whole.
Looking at the small pieces, Amy felt really terrible. She knew these plates were passed down from her great
grandparents and …
“Don’t worry,” her grandmother said, patting her on the back. Carefully, they put the broken pieces into a
rubbish bag.
They continued packing for a little while, but Amy still felt very sorry. She was trying very hard to think of a
way to make it up for her grandparents.
Soon, Amy’s father came.
“I have to go,” she said. “Dad is here to pick me up.”
She kissed her grandparents both, picked up the bag of the broken pieces and left. “What’s that?” her father
asked, as Amy climbed into the car.
Amy looked at the bag in her hands as an idea came to her. “This,” she said, “is an art project.”
The following day, Amy went to an art store and bought everything she needed. Then she started to work.
She used a thin board as the base. Then she took out the colorful plate pieces and glued them in a creative way on
the board. When it was dry, Amy wrapped it up.
A few days later, Amy’s family had a big dinner at her grandparents’ new house. She handed her gift to her
grandparents.
“This is fantastic, Amy!” said her grandfather.
“I can’t wait to hang it up in our new home,” Amy’s grandmother said as she gave her a big hug.

Qian Xuesen was born in Shanghai on December 11th, 1911. He is known as “the father of China’s space
program” and “the king of the rocket”.
When he was 24 years old, Qian went to America for further study. After graduation, he worked in America
for a few years, where his working conditions were better. In the early 1950s, he heard New China had been
founded（成立）and decided not to stay in America any longer. He succeeded in coming back to his motherland
in 1955 though the American government tried to stop him.
In 1956, Qian Xuesen suggested setting up a special organization, which later became the leading
organization for China’s rocket and air travel programs. In June 1964, China successfully created its first medium
rocket. Qian also played an important role in developing China’s first man-made satellite （卫星）. On April 24,
1970, “Dongfanghong-l was successfully sent into the air.”
In 1964, a young man wrote Qian Xuesen a letter and pointed out a mistake in his published article. Qian
immediately answered the letter and encouraged the young man to write an article about the mistake.
Zhu Yilin, who was said to be the last student of Qian Xuesen, once said, “I learned a lot of professional
knowledge as well as the spirit and attitude that a scientist should have from Mr. Qian, especially his deep love for
the motherland. Without that, he couldn’t have helped to develop science and technology when New China was
badly in need of scientists for its development. Without that, he would not have made the great contribution（贡
献）to rocket industry in the late 1950s and early 1960s when conditions in China were too hard.”
Mr. Qian has been dead for ten years, but he will live in the memory of Chinese people forever.
1. Why did Qian Xuesen go to America when he was young?
A. To find a new job.
B. To receive further study.
C. To meet with his parents.
D. To find better working conditions.2. When was China’s first medium rocket created?
A. In 1955. B. In 1956. C. In 1964. D. In 1970.
3. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A. The way Qian Xuesen tried to return to China.
B. The reason why a special organization was set up.
C. The role Qian Xuesen played in making the satellite.
D. The contribution Qian Xuesen has made to China.
4. In Zhu Yilin’s opinion, what made Qian Xuesen work hard for his motherland?
A. His love for the motherland. B. His professional knowledge.
C. His working experience. D. His anger towards America.
5. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. Qian was not welcome in America in the 1950
B. The young man couldn’t understand Qian’s articles
C. New Chins was in great need of scientists like Qian
D. Hard conditions made it easier to develop rocket industry
