Six days before the 63rd birthday of New China, our country received a great gift. The country's first aircraft carrier(航母) , Liaoning, has made China become the l0th country in the world to have an aircraft camer.
An aircraft carrier is a kind of ship that planes can fly from and land on—like an airport on the sea. It stands for a country's military strength(军事力量). It plays an important role in modern wars.
In August last year, the air craft carrier began its trial run at Dalian Port in Liaoning. The carrier was at first called the Varyag. It was built in the former Soviet Union. However, the Soviets failed to finish the ship. China bought the Varyag in 1998. Now after 10 trial runs, the aircraft carrier, renamed Liaoning, is in active service.
Liaoning is about 300 meters long and 70 meters wide. It can take 30 planes and hold 2,000 soldiers.
According to Xinhua News, Liaoning will be used for scientific research and military training.
The aircraft carrier will help protect our country and promote(促进) world peace. The BBC said that Liaoning coming into service " marks China as a rising power".

What do we really mean by being open? Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share. It is important in letting others get to know how we think and feel. In this way we will be understood and accepted by others. If we aren’t open with others, we won’t fully believe in ourselves or others.
Here are a few ways for you to be more open. First, make your outside behavior the same with your inside feelings and thoughts. Second, share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions. Third, try to change your questions into statements(陈述句) and talk in the first person so that people will understand you more easily. For example, you might say, “I feel happy that you’re here,” instead of, “Are you glad that you’re here?” Finally, try not to say, “I don’t know.” This usually means I don’t want to think about it any more.
Remember also that it is not suitable to be open with everyone in every situation. You may want to be more open with close friends, but not with people you don’t know well, because you are not sure how someone else will use what they know about you. Besides, some people may not be used to too much openness. If we say everything we feel or think to them, they will feel very uncomfortable at times.
In all, being open is a good way for us to get on well with other people, but we’d better keep the balance between being open and not being too open.
