• 3．Russia has a history of beating the U.S.into space，and along with being the first to send a dog，man，and woman into space，they just became the first nation to send an actress and film crew up there.
     Scheduled for two weeks of filming aboard the International Space Station（ISS），actress Yulia Peresild and director Klim Shipenko became the first humans to film part of a full-length film in space，beating out poor old Tom Cruise，who since 2020 had made his intentions to film a movie aboard the ISS clear enough to NASA.
     The Challenge will be a big-budget Russian film based on the story of a top surgeon（Peresild）who is called upon to enter the Russian-module of the ISS for an emergency procedure.While many films certainly feature space，it will be the first full-length fiction to be filmed on the ISS.
     A Soyuz rocket departed the Earth at 4：55 a.m.on October 5th，and arrived three hours later carrying Ms.Peresild，Mr.Shipenko and their experienced astronautical guide，Anton Shkaplerov. "It is almost impossible to believe that this all came to reality. " said Peresild，opening the hatch（艙門）and floating into the space laboratory.The pair will gather around 35 minutes of footage（畫面）before departing on the 17th of October，leaving Shkaplerov behind to work.
     In September 2020，it was announced that Cruise and Director Doug Liman had booked a flight on a SpaceX rocket headed for the ISS in October 2021.Ever eager for a space-race，Russian Channel One and a film studio called Yellow.
     Black，and White jointly announced with the Russian space agency Roscosmos their own plans for a space movie.
     While Peresild and Shipenko will be set to come down soon.Cruise's October launch plans are still up in the air.If Tom Cruise needs a bright side to look on.it's that the last time Russia and the U.S.had a first-to space race.Russia got into space first，but the U.S.got to the Moon.

• 22．I got off the bus and ran all the way home.It was officially Christmas vacation.Opening the door，a wave of warm air and smells of pine and oranges welcomed me.I smiled，removing my coat and bag-Christmas was just about here.
     Just then I heard an exciting voice. "You're home!Come play with me!" Melissa，my baby sister，sat on the living room floor，surrounded by an army of Barbies.She looked at me eagerly，waiting for my response.
     I was going to be in high school in just two years.I felt too old for Barbies and other childish things.I hesitated，trying to think of an excuse that wouldn't make her cry，when a sudden idea came to my mind. "I'll play with you，" I said， "if you let me play with the red car." The red car was what Melissa loved most.
     Melissa quickly grabbed the car. "No!" she screamed.She never let anyone else play with the car. "Well I said，pleased with my cleverness，" "I guess I can't play with you today." As I started walking to my room，Melissa called out to me， "Have you got my Christmas present yet？"
     "Not yet，but I will，" I said. "I've got what I'm giving you，" said Melissa She smiled and added. "it's going to be the best present ever!" "I' m sure it will，" I said flatly.I still remembered the handful of candies she had wrapped and handed to me the year before.
     The days leading up to Christmas went by quickly.The whole family spent Christmas morning exchanging gifts.I had bought Melissa a cheap toy cat at the local Dollar Store.It was not a surprise to her，but I was pleased that she liked it.When the process of exchanging gifts was over，Dad joked， "We need a dump truck for all of this wrapping paper." He held the broom，preparing to sweep the floor.
