E China's first lunar rover(月球车) moved successfully from the unmanned spacecraft Chang'e-3 that landed on the moon Saturday. As China’s first mission carrier to the moon, Jade Rabbit is a six-wheeled lunar rover equipped with at least four cameras and two mechanical legs that can dig up soil samples to a depth of 30 meters.The solar-powered rover will move along the moon's surface, studying the structure of the lunar crust（外壳）as well as soil and rocks, for at least three months. Weighing 140 kilograms, the slow-moving rover carries an optical(光学的) telescope for astronomical observations and a powerful ultraviolet（紫外线的）camera that will monitor how solar activity affects the various layers that make up the Earth's atmosphere, China's information technology ministry said in a statement.The Jade Rabbit is also equipped with nuclear heater units, allowing it to function during the cold lunar nights when temperatures drop as low as -180°C (-292°F).The moon exploration makes China one of only three nations -- after the United States and the former Soviet Union -- to "soft-land" on the moon's surface, and the first to do so in more than three decades. China has rapidly built up its space program since it first sent an astronaut into space in 2003. In 2012, the country conducted 18 space launches, according to the Pentagon.The Chang'e-3 mission is considered as the second stage of China's moon exploration program, which includes orbiting,landing and returning to Earth.In 2010, China captured images of the landingsite for the 2013 exploration, the Bay of Rainbows, which is considered to beone of the most beautiful parts of the moon.       The Chang'e-3 spacecraft lifted off from a Long March 3B rocket in China's Sichuan province on December 2 and reached the moon's orbit at 100 kilometers (about 60 miles) from its surface less than five days later.

D For as much as I love nature, it’s remarkable that I grew up in a family that didn’t spend a lot of time there.The Ludlows weren’t campers, hikers, or beach goers.That’s not to say we didn’t go outdoors. We just didn’t stay there long. My dad’s favorite way to relax was to sit on the patio(露台) with a glass of iced tea. He’d preside over his freshly mowed lawn, enjoy the birds, and watch for the fox.But when the sun went down, he went inside.Lots of kids grow up gazing at the stars,knowing the constellations. Me? I never noticed the stars. In my early childhood, the darkening shadow of evening was the signal that it was time to hightail it home from the park on my bike. Then I met the sky. I saw it the summer before seventh grade when we took a family trip to Wyoming. In my mental photo album, I feel the mist of Old Faithful, I smell the store where my dad bought a cowboy hat, and I shiver in my sleeping bag on the overnight rafting trip downthe Snake River.  One night, Dad had arranged for us to sleep in a tepee. When the flames died down after our camp fire dinner, he kept my little sister, Sara, Mom, and me outside, wrapped us in blankets, and told us to look up, wait, and watch.Plink, plink, plink. As my eyes adjusted, the stars appeared. Plunk, plunk, plunk. The black filled with white. Plinkplinkplinkplinkplink.Dad revealed the universe.Decades later, I crave walks in the woods, I love to sit by a lake for hours, and a sunset mesmerizes (迷住) me. And everywhere I go, I look up and search for the heaven I saw that night. I have yet to see that sky again, so utterly a glow. I don’t know if that’s because my kid memory blew it out of proportion or because our lit-up world makes seeing the true sky all but impossible. I just know I haven’t stopped looking.

C Sitting in his mobile home near Las Vegas,Ron Wayne could be any of the millions of gamblers who failed to find theirfortune in the casino city.However, he could have hit a jackpot beyond most people’s wildest dreams.Ron was one of the founders of Apple, the technologygiant behind the iPhone and the iPad.But while co-founder Steve Jobs, who died in2011, became one of the world’s richest men, Ron decided in 1976 that he wantedto focus on a slot machine business and sold his stake in the fledgling computer company for just £500.Today, that stake would be worth £14 billion.But despite the astonishing potential fortunehe signed away, Ron refuses to let it get him down and freely admits: “I had no business sense.”“I made a decision that allowed me to pursuemy interest,” says the 79-year-old. “I honestly don’t regret walking away atall.”Ron was instrumental in helping Jobs and partner Steve Wozniak form the now multi-billion-dollar empire.He sketched models for the first Apple computer, designed the company’s original logo, wrote the manual for the Apple I computer, and drafted the firm’s first ­partnership agreement.But then he got cold feet. Deciding his partners’ personalities and whirlwind working methods were too risky, he gaveup his 10% stake in Apple Computer after just 12 days.Had he stayed on, he would now be one of the 15 richest people on the planet and possibly the subject of a Hollywood movielike his late former partner Jobs, who is portrayed by Ashton Kutcher in the upcoming film of the same name.Ron says: “I knew Wozniak’s design for apersonal computer was going to be successful, but who could have anticipated it would be what it is today?” “If I had stayed with Apple and accepted the limitations on my philosophy of life I could well have ended up the richest man in the cemetery. My passion was slot machines.”“My handicap was that I didn’t realise I had no business sense. I learned that when I went into business building slot machines.”“Every time I worked as a businessman it has been a flaming disaster.”Ron insists he is not envious of the vastfortune Jobs left, or his beautiful homes and £85 million yacht.He says: “If you had everything you could possibly want you would be content for 10 minutes.”"I would have liked tohave been more successful but can honestly say I have had a more eventful lifethan many other people in this world.”
