One DayOne day I counted your fingers and kissed each one.
One day the first snowflakes fell, and I held you up and watched them melt on your baby skin.
One day, we crossed the street, and you held my hand tight.
Then, you were my baby, and now you are my child.
Sometimes, when you sleep, I watch your dream, and I dream too...
That someday you will dive into the cool, clear water of a lake.
Someday you will walk into a deep wood.
Someday you will run so fast and so far, your heart will feel like fire.
Someday you will swing high, so high, higher than you ever dared to swing.
Someday you will hear something so unhappy that you will fold up with sorrow.
Someday you will call a song to the wind, and the wind will carry your song away.
Someday I will stand on this porch and watch your arms waving to me until I no longer see you.
Someday you will look at this house and wonder how something that feels so big can look so small.
Someday I will watch you brushing your child's hair.
Someday, a long time from now, your own hair will glow silver in the sun.
And when that day comes, love, you will remember me.

Ten, nine, eight, seven … The fifth Long March 5 carrier rocket with the Chang'e 5 lunar probe (月球探测器) launched (发射) at 4:30 am on Nov. 24th, 2020. The Chang'e 5 lunar probe plans to return with samples (样品) of the moon. The whole mission (任务) will last about 23 days, according to the China National Space Administration. If this mission is successful, Chang'e 5 will be the first lunar sample-return spacecraft since 1976, when the former Soviet Union's unmanned Luna 24 brought 170.1 grams of lunar samples back. As one of the most difficult missions, the Chang'e 5 mission aims to bring back a larger sample and explore a new area of the moon. "The three unmanned lunar probes of the former Soviet Union—Lunar 16, Lunar 20 and Lunar 24—carried out three lunar samplings and return missions, and the lunar soil samples brought back were only about 330 grams, while Chang'e 5 plans to bring back 2 kilograms of lunar samples," Pang Zhihao, a space activity researcher and author in Beijing, told Science and Technology Daily. The great increase in sample weight can play a key role in Chang'e 5's lunar orbit unmanned docking program (月球轨道无人对接计划). With the program, the ascender (上升器) only requires a small amount of fuel (燃料), so even a heavier sampling will not influence the normal return of the spacecraft. The best part of the journey is Chang'e 5's lunar landing site—the northwest part of Oceanus Procellarum, also known as the Ocean of Storms—on the near side of the moon, where no probes have visited before.
(1) ________ When might the Chang'e 5 lunar probe return to the earth in 2020?
A. On Nov. 16th.B. On Nov. 24th.C. On Dec. 5th.D. On Dec. 17th.
(2) ________ What is the aim of the Chang'e 5 lunar probe according to the passage?
A. To be the first lunar sample-return spacecraft in the human history.B. To bring back more lunar samples and explore a new area of the moon.C. To find the three unmanned lunar probes of the former Soviet Union.D. To visit the Ocean of Storms as other probes did before on the moon.
(3) ________ Which is TRUE about Chang'e 5's lunar orbit unmanned docking program?
A. The ascender can normally return to the earth with a little fuel.B. The ascender doesn't need to bring back lunar samples any more.C. The ascender is only able to carry lunar samples that are not very heavy.D. The ascender no longer needs fuel to be back to the earth.
(4) ________ What is the tone (基调) of the passage?
A. Upset but romantic.B. Scientific and informative.C. Proud but unclearD. Doubtful and disappointed.
