Liu Yang was born on Oct. 6th， 1978. Her father was an assistant engineer[助理工程師] and her mother was an ordinary worker. They both have retired[退休] now. Liu Yang looks like her father. She is not very beautiful， but she is smart and polite.

Liu Yang was a good student. She did very well in all her subjects， especially in writing. Besides， her performance in playing sports was very good. She was good at playing volleyball and middle and long distance races. Her endurance[耐力] was very good.

In 1997， Liu Yang was dedicated[致力于] to preparing for the college entrance examination. One day， an airline recruited[招募] pilots in her school. This unknown and mysterious[神秘的] career attracted Liu Yangs attention. She wanted to apply for this job， but the company only recruited men pilots this time.

But not very soon， the air force would choose women pilots in Henan. Liu Yangs head teacher asked her to have a try. At that time， there were eight girls who wanted to apply for the job. After one elimination[淘汰] after another， Liu Yang became the final winner.

After the college entrance examination， Liu Yang entered the Air Force Flight College of Changchun and studied there. Among the students who entered the college at the same time， her physical[身體的] condition was not very good. She could only improve it by training hard. During the first camp training， her feet blistered[起水泡]， but she finished the 150 miles train by walking one step after another. The blisters on her right foot had become a big one after going back. When she went to the hospital， the doctor had no idea but cut off the whole skin of her right foot.

During the four years study in the college， Liu Yang never let her parents come to see her. Before her first sky-diving， she called home. Her mother said casually[若無其事地]， “Isnt it the sky-diving？ No problem. It is very safe. And there are teachers， so we dont worry at all.” Liu Yang felt very sad. So after finishing the sky-diving， she didnt call home at once. Until she called home in the evening， she knew that her parents didnt go to work and waited at home for a whole day.

In 2009， the selection[選拔] of the second group of astronauts[航天員] began. At last， Liu Yang and another woman pilot became the first group of women astronauts. In March， 2012， Liu Yang was chosen to be one of the crew[成員] of Shenzhou IX Spaceship. On June 16th， 2012， Shenzhou IX Spaceship was launched. And on June 29th， 2012， three astronauts finished their task and returned to the earth.

劉洋出生于1978年10月6日。她的父親曾是一名助理工程師，母親曾是一名普通的工人，現(xiàn)在都已退休。劉洋長得像她父親，她長得不是非常漂亮，但是很精神，對人也有禮貌。

劉洋是個(gè)好學(xué)生，各門功課都很優(yōu)秀，尤其是文章寫得好。此外，劉洋在運(yùn)動(dòng)方面的表現(xiàn)也很棒，她擅長排球和中長跑，耐力極好。

1997年，劉洋原本是一心備戰(zhàn)高考。直到有一天，一家航空公司前來招收飛行員，這項(xiàng)未知、神秘的職業(yè)引起了劉洋的注意。她想去應(yīng)征，但是該航空公司此次招飛只招男生不招女生。

不過很快，空軍要在河南選拔女飛行員，劉洋的班主任讓她去試試。當(dāng)時(shí)，共有8個(gè)應(yīng)征的女孩，經(jīng)一輪接著一輪的淘汰后，劉洋成了站到最后的應(yīng)征者。

高考后，劉洋順利進(jìn)入空軍長春第一飛行學(xué)院學(xué)習(xí)。在剛?cè)胄５耐鷮W(xué)員中，劉洋的身體素質(zhì)并不拔尖，她只能靠刻苦訓(xùn)練來提高。第一次野營訓(xùn)練，雖然她的腳起了水泡，但她還是一步步挪著走完了150多里。訓(xùn)練回來，她右腳的水泡全部連成一片。到醫(yī)院時(shí)，醫(yī)生沒有辦法，只有把她右腳腳底的整塊皮全部切除。

在航校學(xué)習(xí)的四年，劉洋從來不讓父母來看她。她第一次跳傘之前打電話回家，母親在電話那頭輕描淡寫地說：“不就是跳傘嗎？沒問題，安全得很，何況有教員在，我們很放心。”劉洋當(dāng)時(shí)還有點(diǎn)委屈，跳完了，她沒有馬上打電話報(bào)平安。到晚上打電話，才知道父母一天都等在家里沒有上班。

2009年，第二批航天員的選拔開始啟動(dòng)。最終，劉洋與另一名女飛行員成為了中國首批女航天員。2012年3月，劉洋入選神舟九號飛船乘組。2012年6月16日，神舟九號飛船發(fā)射升空。2012年6月29號，三位宇航員圓滿完成任務(wù)，回到地球。
