Six days before the 63rd birthday of New China, our country received a great gift. The country's first aircraft carrier(航母) , Liaoning, has made China become the l0th country in the world to have an aircraft camer.
An aircraft carrier is a kind of ship that planes can fly from and land on—like an airport on the sea. It stands for a country's military strength(军事力量). It plays an important role in modern wars.
In August last year, the air craft carrier began its trial run at Dalian Port in Liaoning. The carrier was at first called the Varyag. It was built in the former Soviet Union. However, the Soviets failed to finish the ship. China bought the Varyag in 1998. Now after 10 trial runs, the aircraft carrier, renamed Liaoning, is in active service.
Liaoning is about 300 meters long and 70 meters wide. It can take 30 planes and hold 2,000 soldiers.
According to Xinhua News, Liaoning will be used for scientific research and military training.
The aircraft carrier will help protect our country and promote(促进) world peace. The BBC said that Liaoning coming into service " marks China as a rising power".

One afternoon I took a trip to an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the masterpieces(名作).
A young couple looking at the paintings in front of me chatted non—stop. I watched them for a moment and realized she was doing all the talking. I admired(佩服)this man for being so patient with her. Bored by their noise, I moved on.
I met them several times as I moved through those rooms of art. Each time I heard her voice, I moved away quickly. I was standing at the museum gift shop buying some cards when the couple walked to the exit.
" He's a brave man, " the clerk said. "Most of us would give up if we were blind at such a young age. But behind his wife come in whenever there's a new art show. "
"But what does he get out of the works of art?" I asked. "Hecan't see. "
" His wife describes each painting so that he can see it in his head. "

I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away holding each other's hands.

Americans have used colors to create many expressions they use every day.
We say you’re ‘in the pink’ when we are in good health. It is easy to understand how this expression was born. When my face has a nice fresh, pink color, it is a sign my health is good.
The color green is natural for trees, it is an unnatural color for humans. When someone doesn’t feel well, someone who is sick, for example, we say he ‘looks green’. When someone is angry because he doesn’t have what someone else has, we say he is ‘green with envy’.
Some people are ‘green with envy’ because someone else has more dollars, or ‘green backs’. Dollars are called ‘greenbacks’ because that’s the color of the backside of the money.
Blue is a cool color. The traditional blue music of American blacks is the opposite of red hot music. It is slow, sad and soulful ( 深情的 ). To be blue, of course, is to be sad.
The color black is often used in expressions. People describe a day in which everything grows wrong as a ‘black day’. A ‘black sheep’ is the member of a family or group who always seems to be in trouble. If someone meets a ‘black cat’, something unlucky might happen to him. Not all the ‘black’ expressions have bad meaning. A company ‘in the red’ is losing money. If someone tells you to put someone ‘in black and white’, they want you to write it down.
