China successfully sent up 22 new satellites in one go on Sunday
morning. This really set a new national record.
A Long March-8 carrier rocket blasted off together with the 22
small satellites at 11.06 a. m. , and after flying for more than 15 minutes, they all ran into their designed orbit.
The satellites were built by seven institutes and companies; each of them has their own tasks including collecting commercial remote-sensing data, environmental research, forest fire prevention and disaster reduction.
"You can call it a 'shared rocket' if you want," said Xiao Yun, the commander of the satellite
sending. "We prepare one or two types of rockets every year for that. If there are many satellites to send up, we use a big rocket. If only a few to send up, we have smaller rockets."
Today's launch marks the 409th mission of China's Long March rocket series.
This is the second launch of the Long March-8 rocket, and it was designed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology(CALT) aiming at commercial launches. The first mission was finished in late 2020.
It's clearly noticeable in the video that the two boosters cannot be found in the new rocket. It tells that the design is one step closer to making the first stages reusable like SpaceX's Falcon 9,
Reusable design can save launch costs and help achieve better commercial success.
"The Long March-8 can carry 3 tonnes of satellites and send them up to low Earth orbit (LEO) or medium Earth orbit," said Wu Yitian, chief designer of the rocket. "Such rockets are greatly needed by the market, especially to launch Earth observation satellites."
A China Media Group report said the Long March-8 will hopefully become the main type for future LEO missions.
( ) 7. The underlined word "they" in the second paragraph refers to
A. the rockets B. the designers
C. the astronauts D. the 22 new satellites
( )8. Which of the following are the satellites' tasks?
A. Environmental research and collecting UFO information.
B. Environmental research and forest fire prevention.
C. Forest fire prevention and life search.
D. Searching for life in space and disaster reduction.
( )9. Why do we call the Long March-8 carrier rocket a "shared rocket"?
A. Because it can be used many times.
B. Because many countries can use it.
C. Because it can send several satellites at once.
D. Because countries can share its information.
( )10. What is the Long March-8's future plan?
A. It will be used in many ways.
B. It will send more satellites up in one go.
C. It will go further in space.
D. It will be used for future LEO missions.

My Best Friend
Tom is one of my best friends. He has short (and) black hair. He has bright smiling eyes. He is a Grade 8 student in a mixed school.
Tom has a good sense of humour. He is also helpful and ready to help others any time.
He is crazy about DIY. He takes a course in it and reads many books about it. For example, he put up a bright light in his bedroom. Tom likes pandas too. This summer holiday; he went to the zoo and took lots of photos of pandas. He put them on his home page for everyone to see. However, giant pandas are becoming fewer and fewer and facing serious problems in the wild. For example, the bamboo forests are becoming smaller and smaller. As a result, pandas may not have a place to live oar food to eat.
Tom thinks we should take action right away. He hopes we can help build more panda reserves and make laws to protect them.
