A Great Chinese Scientist
Father of the Chinese space programme
Yu Ping (YP) is talking to her friend Steve Smith (SS) about Qian Xuesen and his work as a rocket scientist. Part 1
YP: What do you want to be when you grow up, Steve?
SS: I want to be an astronomer and visits stars. I wish to visit Mars one day.
YP: I think I’d like to work in the space industry too. I’d like to be a rocket scientist like Qian Xuesen. SS: What did you have to do to become a rocket scientist?
YP: Well, he first studied at university to be an engineer. Later he went to America to study for his doctor’s
degree. It was then he began to work on rockets.
SS: So it was lucky for out space programme that he came back to China.
YP: Very much so. There was no work on space rockets in China before he began his institute to design and
build rockets to go into space. Part 2
SS: Do you think he wanted to travel into space in one of rockets?
YP: I have no idea but I believe he looked forward to the first spacecraft by a Chinese astronaut.
SS: Yes. Now that China has sent satellites into space. I hope we’ll be the first to land on Mars. That would really be something special and if I were that astronaut I would put Qian Xuesen’s picture on Mars to show how much we admire his work.
YP: Indeed. He is rightfully called the father of the Chinese space programme. He is my hero and he is why I want to be a rocket scientist.
SS: Well, we’d better get on with our homework. We need good grades to get into university. YP: Right you are. See you, then. SS: See you.
Answer key for Ex. 2:
Main idea: It is about the role of Qian Xuesen in the development of space technology in China. Answer key for Ex. 3:
1. Qian Xuesen first studied to be an engineer.
2. In America he began to work to work on space rockets so that he was able to develop a space
programme when he came back to China.
3. When Qian Xuesen returned to China he set up a space institute to begin training people in how to
design and build rockets.

Naming a Flower
Robert Briggs (RB) is talking to Zhang Wei (ZW) about a new kind of lily he has found.
ZW: Hello Robert. What’s that book you are carrying? RB: A book that helps you identify a flower. ZW: I see. Why do you want that?
RB: Well. I’ve found this lily. It looks different to me. So I want to find out if it’s new or not. Our biology
teacher told me that if it’s already known, I’d find it in this book. ZW: Wow! So you think you may have found a new lily?
RB: I hope so, but I have to do some research first to find out for sure. ZW: What happens if it’s in the book?
RB: It means that somebody else has found it and named it. Then I’ll know its biological name. ZW: What do you mean by the biological name?
RB: Actually like us a flower has two names. The first is the group of the flowers it belongs to---like a family
name. A rose is one such group. The second is the kind of flower ----like a given name. It may describe what the rose looks like; for example, the colour of an autumn sunset. Together you get the flower’s name , which is Rose Autumn Sunset.
ZW: Gosh! Who made that system?
RB: A great scientist called Carl Linnaeus. He lived in Sweden from 1707 to 1778. ZW: So long ago!
RB: Yes. And he solved a very serious problem for biology. ZW: What was that?
RB: Before him nobody could tell of a plant was new, as there was no way of checking. There’re so many plants,
you see!
ZW: Yes, I appreciate that! So his system is still used?
RB: Indeed it is. If my flower isn’t in this book, I’ll know that I’ve found a new kind of lily. ZW: That’s great! Can I come and help you? This research sounds fun. RB: Yes. And if I’m lucky…(fading out) Answers key for Ex.1: Go to your teacher
Go to a natural museum speak to a specialist Look it up in a flower book Answers key for Ex.2: The correct answer is C.
Summary A is not correct because it does not give enough information. Summary B is inaccurate. Answers key for Ex.3:
Biology, book, Sweden, 1707, 1778, serious Answers key for Ex.4:
1 It means that his flower has already been identified and has a name.
2 He would know by checking his lily against other lilies in the specialist book. If his lily is different ( for example in the number of petals or staments) it will be a new species.
3 All plants have two names just like people. The first is the group of flower they belong to and is like the family name. The second is the kind of flower within that group and is like a given/personal name.
4 Before Linnaeous there was no way of finding out whether a plant was new or not. This caused problems because different scientists claimed that they had found and named flower first. After he organized his
