When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to seethe strange and mysterious places I had known only from books and pictures. I was completel
10、y at a loss. The following four years taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost. I didnt know what would happen in the future. Because of family moves, I had to study in three schools. Then my mother remarried
11、, and things became even more complex for me. It took a long time for my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad and wondered how long “the hard times” would last. Since I knew English better than everyone else at home, I shouldered more responsibilities. I wrote letters, filled out
12、 forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.

And this time, the moon will welcome its first female astronaut. Up until now, only 12 people, all male, have ever walked on
17、 the moon. “No woman has ever walked on the lunar surface.” Bettina Inclan, NASA communications director said in a statement. But the Artemis program will change this. Women, of course, have been involved in space projects and made valuable contributions. In 1963, astronaut Valentina Tereshkova from
18、 the Soviet Union became the first woman to travel into space. However, the progress toward womens access to space flight programs has been slow. Women have been held back by various requirements and security concerns. For example, astronauts had to be test pilots with a certain amount of experience
19、. This was a problem as the they were all males at the time. In 1962, NASA wrote to a little girl who wanted to be an astronaut.
