我国首颗月球探测卫星“嫦娥一号”初步确定于10月24日下午发射升空。据专家透露，经过对发射地雷电、降水和云量等因素的详细分析，结合相关历史资料判断，并在航天、卫星发射、气象、天文等多个部门反复协商下，最终确定了最佳发射窗口为10月24日下午6时05分左右。目前，西昌卫星发射中心的准备工作也在紧张而有序地进行着。 A senior Chinese official said Tuesday that researchers and technicians are making final preparations for the launch of the country's first moon orbiter, Chang'e I, at the end of October. Zhang Qingwei, minister in charge of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense (COSTIND), who is attending the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), said in an interview with Xinhua. Zhang said his team has nearly finished pre-launch tests on the rocket and orbiter, which have been transported to the launch site. Advanced cameras and X-ray spectrometers have been installed in the orbiter for mapping three-dimensional images of the lunar surface, analyzing dust on the moon, and studying the space environment between the Earth and the moon. "The appropriate time for the launch is in April and October. We finally choose October with the consideration of weather and celestial conditions," he said. "China's moon exploration project is for peaceful use of space," Zhang said. "We're now equipped with high technologies in doing our own research." The next step in the ambitious mission is to launch a moon vehicle, and then get it back, Zhang said. Sending the first astronaut into space with the Chinese-made spaceship Shenzhou V in 2003, China became the third country to carry out manned space mission. The Chinese government has included the moon adventure in 16 key state science projects by the year 2020.求采纳

We need to find ways to solve the problem, but it doesn't mean the country's family planning policy will be reversed," Xie stressed.消息传出后，上海市的一名销售人员拍手称快。 One salesman was cheered by the new attitude in Shanghai.今年25岁的小王在当地一家公司上班，他和女朋友都是家里唯一的孩子。他说：“我还不确定将来是否会要两个孩子，但这项政策让我们有更多的选择机会。如果经济状况允许，我们将来想要两个孩子。” "I'm not sure, but such policy really gives us one more option.

He and his girlfriend are both single children in their families.但是，也不是所有市民都欢迎这样的政策。 However, not all residents are so keen on the idea.26岁的小陈是一名上班族。他说：“我就不想要以后生两个孩子。毕竟，养孩子的压力太大了。” "I don't think we will have a second kid," said 26-year-old Xiao Chen, an office worker.
