　　[00:11.21]Fly to the Moon—NASA’s 2018 Project

　　[00:17.67]It will cost $104 billion over the next decade

　　[00:24.01]to send astronauts back to the moon,

　　[00:26.52]NASA’s chief said,

　　[00:28.17]defending the price tag as an investment the nation

　　[00:31.65]can afford despite the expense of Hurricane Katrina.

　　[00:35.26]The new moon exploration plan unveiled

　　[00:39.08]by the space agency will use beefed-up shuttle and Apollo parts

　　[00:43.75]and aims to put people on the moon by 2018.

　　[00:47.57]“There will be a lot more hurricanes

　　[00:50.44]and a lot more other natural disasters

　　[00:53.15]to befall the United States and the world in that time,

　　[00:56.13]I hope none worse than Katrina,”

　　[00:58.96]NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said at a news conference.

　　[01:02.67]“But the space program is a long-term investment in our future.

　　[01:07.06]We must deal with our short-term problems

　　[01:10.23]while not sacrificing our long-term investments in our future.

　　[01:14.27]When we have a hurricane,

　　[01:16.14]we don’t cancel the Air Force.

　　[01:18.32]We don’t cancel the Navy.

　　[01:19.96]And we’re not going to cancel NASA.”

　　[01:22.68]The $104 billion price tag,

　　[01:25.98]leading up to an initial four-person lunar landing

　　[01:29.58]and spread over 13 years,

　　[01:31.78]represents 55 percent of what the Apollo program

　　[01:36.04]would cost in today’s dollars, Griffin said.

　　[01:38.65]Apollo development spanned eight years,

　　[01:41.62]from 1961 to the first manned moon landing in 1969.

　　[01:47.09]The new space vehicle design uses shuttle rocket parts,

　　[01:51.90]an Apollo-style capsule and a lander

　　[01:54.62]capable of carrying four people to the moon.

　　[01:57.38]The rockets—there would be two,

　　[02:00.09]a small version for people and a heftier one for cargo—

　　[02:04.03]would eclipse the 18-story space shuttle.

　　[02:07.66]The larger one, in fact,

　　[02:09.08]would come close to the 36-story Saturn 5 moon rocket.

　　[02:13.46]They would be built from shuttle booster rockets,

　　[02:16.72]fuel tanks and main engines,

　　[02:19.45]as well as moon rocket engines.

　　[02:20.99]The so-called crew exploration vehicle perched on top

　　[02:25.25]would look very much like an Apollo capsule, albeit larger.

　　[02:29.65]The crew exploration vehicle would replace the space shuttle,

　　[02:34.13]due to be retired in 2010,

　　[02:36.74]but not before 2012 and possibly as late as 2014

　　[02:42.65]depending on the money available, Griffin said.

　　[02:45.92]It could carry as many as six astronauts back and forth to the international space station.

　　[02:51.94]If all goes well,

　　[02:53.70]the first crew would set off for the moon by 2018—or 2020 at the latest,

　　[03:00.90]the year targeted by President Bush who proposed such an initiative.

　　[03:05.60]The same type of vessel could be used,

　　[03:08.90]one day, to transport astronauts to Mars.

　　[03:11.73]The new exploration plan would allow four astronauts to stay on the moon for a week—

　　[03:17.86]twice as long as Apollo missions.

　　[03:20.39]It also would haul considerably more cargo,

　　[03:23.34]much of which would be left on the moon for future crews.

　　[03:26.61]In time, lunar stays of up to six months would be possible.

　　英语晨读365 115 Equipment 装备

　　Equipment

　　Figure it out for yourself, my lad. You have got all that the great have had: two arms, two legs, two hands, two eyes, and a brain to use if you'd be wise. With this equipment they all began, so start for the top and say" I can".

　　Look them over the wise and the great. They take their food from a common plate. With similar knives and forks they use; with similar laces they tie their shoes. The world considers them brave and smart, but you know--- you have got all they had when they made their start.

　　You can triumph and come to skill; you can be great if you only will. You are well equipped for the fight you choose you have arms and legs and brains to use. And people who have risen, great deeds to do started their lives with no more than you.

　　You are the handicap you must face. You are the one who must choose your place. You must say where you want to go, and how much you will study the truth to know. God has equipped you for life, but he lets you decide what you want to be.

　　The courage must come from the soul within; you must furnish the will to win. So figure it out for yourself, my lad; you were born with all the great have had; with your equipment they all began. Get hold of yourself and say" I can".

　　上帝已为你提供了装备，但方向只能由你自己来决定。

　　勇气来自内心深处，下定决心取得胜利。

　　所以，自己想想吧，伟人的资本与生俱来。

　　把握好自己，告诉自己：“我行！”。

　　英语晨读365 114 Dreams 梦想

　　Dreams

　　When we were young, we had dreams and expectations. We imagine things; we keep thinking about what we want to be, what we want to do, what makes us proud and happy and what will we become.

　　We grew up, and things seemed like having their own way. We accept our success or failures and we move on. The rapid change, the need to do the urgent things, the works, the pressures and the failures, all kill part of our visions.

　　Things have changed, but they cannot really take away the dreams. We still have to dream on, to visualize our desires, our wants, our vision of our future, even when we are considered too old for such things.

　　Cornell Sanders started his business when he was sixty, and started the whole successful KFC business. The main thing is not the age whether being too old, or too young, but it is the desire to dream on, and the courage to realize it.

　　The ability to dream on is one of the fine qualities of human race that other species do not possess. So dream on, and put a deadline: make it a giant dream, a tiny one, an old everlasting one, a new-found one, a hobby-related one, a change of life one, a religious one, a stupid one, a stroke of genius one, or just whatever... just continue to dream on... Then, Just Go and Do It!

　　O Troupe of little vagrants of the world,leave your footprints in my words.

　　The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.

　　It becomes small as one song,as one kiss of the eternal.

　　It is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom.

　　The mighty desert is burning for the love of a blade of grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away.

　　If you shed tears when you miss the sun,you also miss the stars.

　　The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement,dancing water,Will you carry the burden of their lameless?

　　Her wishful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night.

　　Once we dreamt that we were strangers.

　　We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.

　　我们醒了,却知道我们是相亲相爱的。

　　英语晨读365 123 Prometheus 普罗米修斯

　　Prometheus

　　Prometheus was a Titan ．In the war between Zeus the giants he had stood on the side of the new Olympian gods．Out of the clay he made the first man，to whom Athena gave soul and holy breath．Prometheus spent a lot of time and energy in creating the gift of fire．The fire raised man above all animals ．Later，there held a joint meeting of gods and men．The meeting was to decide what part of burnt animals should be given to gods and what to men．Prometheus cut up an ox and divided it into two parts：under the skin he placed the fresh，and under the fat he put the bones，for he knew the selfish Zeus loved fat． Zeus saw through the trick and felt displeased at the Prometheus' favor towards men．So in a masterful way he took away the gift of fire from mankind．However，Prometheus managed to steal fire from heaven and secretly brought it down to men．Flying into an anger at this unjustified act of rebellion，Zeus let the other gods chain Prometheus to a rock on Mountain Caucasus，where a hungry eagle ever tore at his liver which ever grew again．His period of pain was to be thirty-thousand years．Prometheus faced his bitter fate firmly and never lost courage before Zeus．At last Heracles made Prometheus and Zeus restore to friend ship，when Heracles came over in search of the golden apple and killed the eagle and set the friend of mankind free．

　　普罗米修斯

　　普罗米修斯是泰坦巨人之一。

　　在宙斯与巨人的战争中，他站在新的奥林波斯山神一边。

　　他用粘土造出了第一个男人。

　　雅典娜赋予了这个男人灵魂和神圣的生命。

　　普罗米修斯还花费了很多时间和精力创造了火，并将之赠予人类。

　　这个会议将决定烧烤过的动物的哪一部分该分给神，哪一部分该给人类。

　　普罗米修斯切开一头牛，把它分成两部分：他把肉放在皮下，将骨头放在肥肉下。

　　因为他知道自私的宙斯爱吃肥肉。

　　宙斯看穿了他的把戏。
