Tiangong-1 (or Heavenly Palace) space module(舱) is the first step toward China's plan to build a space station around 2020. Its launch by China has upset some countries, which are asking why China did not add on to the International Space Station that has been in place since 1998. After all, the Americans, Russians, Europeans and Japanese are using one platform to experiment in space.

Questions have also been asked about China's ultimate purpose in space and suggestions made that there is something as unpleasant as the theme in a James Bond movie, in which Chinese-looking enemies were at the root of some evil plot to control the world.

Chinese don't see themselves that way, and never in history have they been flag-planting colonialists. Most Westerners are schooled in the exploits of the great European explorers, headed by Christopher Columbus and James Cook, and followed closely by the groups of culture egotists(自大者) with a mix of guns, gold and the Bible in their hands.

In contrast, Zheng He, the great Chinese navigator, took fleets to Africa and the Middle East to promote goodwill, with gifts of chinaware and art. No flags claiming possession of distant colonies. But this is strange to Western society.

In this century, it is clear that space cannot be claimed by one nation. Yet advantage of technology in space does seem to be on some minds. Former US president Ronald Reagan caused shocks and worries with his ambitious Star Wars program. So when China shot down its own satellite as a test in January 2010 there were anxieties in the West about Star Wars-like scenario(剧本) becoming reality in the near future.

A. is appreciated by countries like the USA and Japan

B. will bring trouble to the western countries in space

A. are competing against one another in space wars

B. feel anxious about China’s setting up a space station

C. are cooperating to compete against China in space

D. have warned the world of China’s final purpose

52. The author of the passage mentions Zheng He____.

A. to tell people China will never be enemies of world peace

B. to compare him to the great European explorers like Columbus

C. to indicate that he is the pride of the Chinese people

D. to show that the Chinese people are as great as other peoples

53. From the last paragraph, we can infer that____.

A. China’s shooting down its satellite made the scenario become reality

B. some countries are trying to be ahead of the others in space exploration

C. China will be in control of the world if she starts space exploration

D. if a nation has a better technology in space, it will start a star war

A yoga master made a shocking statement that Abraham Lincoln had been a Himalayan yogi in a past life.Lincoln delivered a proclamation setting up Thanksgiving as an American holiday in 1863.Research throws light on a possible Hindu (印度的)origin for the American celebration of Thanksgiving.

"The holiday of Thanksgiving has a Hindu origin," says Richard Salva, author of a book on the reincarnation (转世)of Abraham Lincoln entitled Soul Journey ： From Lincoln to Lindbergh which is based on a statement by the great master of yoga, Paramhamsa Yogananda， who declared that Abraham Lincoln had been a Himalayan yogi in a past life, and that he was reborn as the famous pilot, Charles Lindbergh.

“During my search for signs of a past-life yoga practice,” SaIva said, “I noticed that President Lincoln repeatedly chose Thursdays as national days of prayer, fasting (禁食)，and thanksgiving.This was interesting, because Thursday is considered a holy day — a day for prayer, fasting, and spiritual reflection — among Hindus, who call it‘guru day’.”

“ Lincoln also set aside time on Thursdays to grieve for his son，Willie, who died in Washington.Clearly, Thursdays had a spiritual significance in Lincoln's mind.”

In his book, Richard Salva presents more than 500 connections between Lincoln, Lindergh, and the ancient spiritual science of yoga.The connections run through every aspect of the human condition and provide convincing evidence that Lincoln had had a Hindu past life.

More than one out of every five Americans today believes in reincarnation—yet few are aware of how past-life patterns affect them.Soul Journey tries to fill this gap, by offering a substitute experience of reincarnation.Through clear and persuasive similarities between the lives of Lincoln and Lindbergh, the book discovers how the hidden laws of fate and reincarnation impact the events of his or her daily life.It addresses other issues, such as the secret spiritual history of America's greatest president, including his past life as a Himalayan yogi; the hidden clues that reveal past lives; the greatness he achieved; and the spiritual principles behind the yoga postures that millions now practice.
