They landed in the Kazakh steppes (大草原) about 420km(260 miles) wide of their target.“During the descent there was some kind of fire outside the Soyuz capsule because we were going through the atmosphere,” Yi said.“At first I was afraid, but the two other guys looked okay, so I tried to look okay too.”Yi smiled and joked her way through a 10-minute news briefing at Star City, the wooded Sovietera cosmonaut training centre on the edge of Moscow. However, Malenchenko and Whitson looked tired and thin after nearly six months in space. Their answers were short and Whitson needed support to balance when she walked. The 29-year-old Yi has become famous in South Korea since the take-off but she brushed this aside and said she has had little contact with friends or family since returning. “In fact, they are the heroes right now,” Yi said, referring to Malenchenko and Whitson. “Im just a beginner and a little ashamed to say that I am a hero.” She did, though, relate a more light-hearted incident on the ISS.“I sang Fly Me to the Moon” Yi said about the 1950s pop song. “Its my favorite song from university although at that time I didnt know I would be an astronaut.” The capsules so-called “ballistic” re-entering made the group members face twice the usual pull from the centre of the earth. The flames Yi described may have been caused by friction (摩擦) heating the capsule as it fell through the atmosphere.Whitson told reporters that Saturdays ballistic landing, was irregular but not an emergency.“The Soyuz has been through its history very reliable and there has obviously been some issue in the last couple of descents which went ballistic, but Im sure the engineers will determine what the problems are and get them fixed,” she said.In October, a Soyuz capsule carrying Malaysias first space tourist touched down about 200 km (125 miles) off course in a similar ballistic landing caused by a technical problem.The Soyuz is the worlds longestserving manned space capsule. An early version of the craft, the Vostok, carried the first person into space in 1961.Whitson, 48, has become the American with the longest amount of time in space with 377 days.1. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. Flight in space is very dangerous.B. Not everybody can go into space.C. Fearful landing tests the Korean astronaut.D. Yi didnt know she would be an astronaut when she was young.2. The reason why Yi So-yeon felt afraid at first was that .A. a fire was caused by the frictionB. she had no such experience beforeC. she was not brave enoughD. the other two didnt help her3. From the passage, we can learn that .A. Yi So-yeon, a space tourist came from South KoreaB. Whitson became energetic when they landed on earthC. the two other guys were not afraid during the descentD. the Soyuz, an unmanned space capsule, had a long history4. The underlined phrase “off course” in this passage means .A. out of work B. out of controlC. in the wrong direction D. in danger5. We can conclude from this passage that .A. experience is very important for astronauts to ensure safetyB. Yi Soyeon will never return to the space stationC. people are not willing to experience the space flightD. we should draw a lesson from the accident. 对话填空请认真阅读下面对话，并根据各题所给首字母的提示，在标有题号的横线上，写出一个英语单词的完整、正确形式，使对话通顺。M: Hello, Carol.
