体裁：说明文 话题：航天 词数：293 时间：6′
The first living creatures to travel in space were the dogs of the Soviet Unions space program.Beginning in 1951 dogs flew aboard sub－orbital flights to the height of 63 miles and higher.They helped to test the equipment that would later be used by humans.The first pair of dogs to fly, on July 22, 1951, were named Tsygan and Dezik.
Space dogs would make history on November 3, 1957.On this date, just one month after the historic launch of the world's first artificial satellite, Sputnik, the Soviet Union shocked the world again by launching Sputnik 2.This satellite contained the first living creature to travel in space, a dog named Laika.Laika was to have orbited for a week or more until her food and oxygen ran out.In fact, Laika lasted only hours in orbit before over heating in her capsule(太空舱) took her life.
That next step, occurred in August 1960, when the dogs Belka and Strelka made 18 orbits of earth and returned alive.Like Laika before them, they became distinguished，featured in newspapers and magazines around the world.
Six more orbital dog flights over the next eight months further tested the equipment necessary for humans to follow in the dogs' footsteps.That historic event happened on April 12, 1961, when Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel in space.
The role of the space dogs had proven important in advancing the exploration of space.But, they would make one final flight.In 1966, traveling aboard the Cosmos 110 satellite, the dogs Ugolek and Veterok spent 22 days in orbit.Once again dogs led the way.Humans would not achieve a space flight that long for eight more years, in Skylab 2.

Jane Goodall plans to continue to set up Roots & Shoots branches as many as possible throughout the world.“I'll go on as long as I can，” she says.“I hope I maintain physical health as long as possible because there's so much to do.” Her aspiration for the organization in China is to expand in rural areas.Most branches are in big cities as Beijing and Shanghai.
It was publishing her findings about chimpanzees (My Friends the Wild Chimpanzees)
more than half a century ago that made Jane Goodall a household name in the world.She was named United Nations Messenger of Peace in 2002.

How To Work Faster And Smarter
Structure.Planning, using productivity tools, and scheduling tasks on your calendar can help.Set yourself up to win by breaking tasks down into manageable small tasks.__29__ And you still have time to take care of yourself, such as eating well, exercising, relaxing, etc.Without self－care, you lose efficiency due to being overworked.
Don't multi－task.There is an illusion(错觉) that doing many things at once is productive.Instead, it leaves
you half－focused, and constantly switching gears(切换注意力)．__30__ Set a timer, and work in 90－minute increments.Focus on one task either for 90 minutes, or until it is complete.Then, take a break, and move on.
Urgent doesn't necessarily mean important.__31__ What someone else thinks is urgent can create a sense of people－pleasing caused panic.If you know it is not important, then prioritize, and do what is the most important first instead.You know best how to set your priorities and get your work done.
__32__ Power down those phones, turn off notifications.Set up an autoresponder(自动回复器) if you need to, but disconnect in order to avoid distractions.You will get more done, if you focus only on the task at hand and answer all missed calls and notifications once you're done.
Take breaks.__33__ Shake it out.Eyestrain and headaches can happen if you look at a computer screen for too long.Get outside for a quick walk and come back feeling refreshed and energetic.
