（CNN）—China’s first lunar rover(月球车) got separated successfully from the unmanned spacecraft Chang'e-3 that landed on the moon Saturday.
Jade Rabbit （called Yutu in Chinese） is a six-wheeled lunar rover equipped with at least four cameras and two mechanical legs that can dig up soil samples to a depth
of 30 meters.
The solar-powered rover will wander around the moon’s surface, studying the structure of the lunar crust as well as soil and rocks, for at least three months. The robot’s name was decided by a public online poll（投票） and comes from a Chinese tale about the pet white rabbit of a goddess, Chang’e, who is said to live on the moon.
Weighing 140 kilograms, the slow-moving rover carries an optical telescope for astronomical observations and a powerful camera that will monitor how solar activity affects the various layers（层）— troposphere, stratosphere and ionosphere — that make up the Earth’s atmosphere, China’s information technology ministry said in a statement.
The Jade Rabbit is also equipped with radioisotope（放射性同位素） heater units, allowing it to work during the cold lunar nights when temperatures plunge as low as -180°C (-292°F).
The moon exploration makes China one of only three nations — after the United States and the former Soviet Union — to “soft-land”on the moon’s surface, and the first to do so in more than thirty years.

You know about the season's blockbusters(大片), but if you want something different and exceptional, take a closer look at these small-press gems.— By Dawn Raffel 6
Stop Here by Beverly Gologosky Centered around the fictional Murray’s Diner on Long Island, Gologorsky’s beautiful novel looks at working class families affected by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sample: “When Bobby was a baby and threw his toys on the floor she’d retrieve them—again and again—to teach him that what leaves comes back. Except she doesn’t believe it herself.”At heart, says the author, “It’s about the emotional rewards of struggle.” Published by Seven Stories Press. An Honest Ghost by Rick Whitaker This novel is like nothing you’ve read before—Whitaker composed it entirely from sentences taken from other books （500 in all, under fair use constraints） to create a haunting, semi-autobiographical account of a gay man and the nine-year-old boy who is to become his adopted son. The Times Literary Supplement selected it as one of the year’s best. Sample: “I am unpacking my library. I have been able to start work again on my novel. It is growing very slowly. There are limits to what can be said. Life lived by quotations.” Published by Jaded Ibis. Make Me Do Things by Victoria Redel These eleven brilliant stories are about marriage, divorce, and parenthood. Redel, who is also an award-winning poet, makes everyday topics shimmer. Sample: “He’d liked telling people that Danny claimed two homes were better than one because it meant two sets of Christmas presents. But now, all of Danny’s jolly laughing seemed like the hysterical crust over a havoc chasm. It made Dan miss Carine and all their predictable arguments?” Published by Four Way Books. 7

We could see right away she was different?” 50. Those who are interested in The Times Literary Supplement will probably read _______.

The Tories would allow children to go to school for ten hours a day and on Saturday mornings to improve the performance of poorer pupils and help working parents. Schools spokesman Michael Gove declared plans yesterday to give disadvantaged children more classroom time to help them catch up. Longer school days could also be popular with parents who struggle to fit 3pm school finishing times around work, he said.
Mr. Gove gave out the success of a U.S. plan where teenagers from poor backgrounds attend school from 7.30 am to 5pm. “I believe that having children in school for longer, particularly if they come from disadvantaged backgrounds can help them to achieve more in academy, ” he told the annual conference of
