Reading (Чтение и перевод текста, биография Гагарина)
Now, let’s read about Gagarin’s life in his biography.
Yuri Gagarin was the first person who flew around the earth in a spacecraft.
Gagarin was born in Klushino, a village near Moscow, Russia, on March 9, 1934. In 1955, he joined the air force and became a pilot.
Russia launched the world’s first unmanned spacecraft, Sputnik, in 1957. In 1960, Gagarin was among 20 people who were tested to see if they could survive in space. Gagarin did very well in the tests and was chosen to be the first cosmonaut.
On April 12, 1961, Gagarin was sent into space aboard Vostok 1. The flight was controlled by the computer because scientists were not sure how he would react in the weightlessness of space. The spacecraft circled the earth, traveling about 18,000 miles an hour. The flight lasted 108 minutes. Before the craft landed, Gagarin parachuted to earth, landing in Siberia.
After the flight, Gagarin trained the first woman to go into space, Valentina Tereshkova.
In 1967, he began to train for his second space flight. However, on March 27, 1968, he died when the jet (реактивный самолет) he was flying crashed in bad weather. Gagarin’s ashes (урна с прахом, останки) were buried in the Kremlin wall, beside other Soviet heroes.
A crater in the moon was named for Gagarin, and since 2001, a celebration called Yuri’s Night is held every April 12 in many parts of the world.
