Sharing the Long Journey
The six-month stay for Chinese astronauts in the Tiangong space station has just ended. Before they returned to the earth, they faced one last test—returning home safely. What had they done before they left the station?
To go home after a long journey, you have to pack up. Besides their personal things, astronauts also need to bring home experimental data and samples （资料和样品） for further research on Earth.
The three astronauts also needed to clean “the house”. They must collect leftover food and the waste. The waste was put into the orbital module （轨道舱）. It burned up as it enters Earth’satmosphere （大气层）.
The astronauts must also put equipment （设备） back in place. They needed to make sure that things like gym equipment are fixed to the walls for safety.
Astronauts experience microgravity （微重力） for long periods of time. This affects their bodies. The three astronauts did physical exercises to keep strong. Experts made exercise plans for each of them to land safely.

Can you imagine a cloud floating in the middle of your room? Do you want to know what it feels like to fly like a bird? Here, we have picked out four interesting inventions to share with you.
Talking Gloves
Four foreign students have created a pair of gloves, and it helps people to communicate with people who have hearing and speaking problems. The gloves are equipped with sensors (传感器). They recognize sign language and translate it into text on a smartphone. Then the smartphone changes the text to spoken words. Thus you can understand sign language easily.
Google Glasses
Google Glasses are like a computer built into a pair of glasses. Then the glasses allow you to surf the Internet and make calls without even lifting a finger. The glasses also have a camera and GPS mapping system. Users can take and share photos, check maps and surf the Internet just by looking up, down, left and right.
Indoor Clouds
That’s a real world. An artist, Smilde managed to create a small but perfect white cloud in the middle of a room using a fog machine. But it required careful planning — the temperature, humidity (湿度) and lighting all had to be just right. The cloud only lasted for a short while, though.
Wingsuits
The suit realizes your dream of flying like a bird. Well, not exactly flying, but gliding (滑翔) through the air. It increases the surface area of the human body, which makes it easier for people to float in the air. Fliers wearing wingsuits can glide one kilometer in about 30 seconds.

One day, a man was walking by the corner of a street. There he met a little boy holding a bird cage and selling the birds inside. The man stopped and looked very sadly at the birds in front of him. The birds were screaming in the cage, giving a high cry and trying to fly away.
After standing for a moment, he said to the boy, “How much does your bird cost? I want...”
“One, fifty cents, sir.” the boy answered quickly.
“I am afraid that you are mistaken. I am not asking how much it is.” The man said, “I would like to buy all of them. What I ask is how much you want for them.”
Hearing this, the boy happily counted the number of the birds in the cage.
“Five dollars.”
“Here you are!” The man passed the money. The boy counted excitedly. Suddenly he was surprised to find the cage was empty!
“Oh, my god, for what reason did you do that, sir? You don’t even get a bird!” The boy asked the man who set the birds free.
