In the page 215 of Chinese vervion, the picture had some errors: Venus and Mercury should be the star seen in dawn or dusk, there was a question but no choice after it,...and so on. Please check this page with English vervion. Thank you.

@liangouy Thanks for spotting this. I don't know Chinese myself but I do have a copy of the translated book. Here is a side-by-side photo comparing it with the English edition.

From looking at the characters they've used for the planet names on page 44, it does look as though they haven't put the planet names. You are correct that one answer was "Venus" (金星). The other was "Mercury/Mars" (水星/火星). Once again, thanks for spotting this and letting us know. I'll add it to http://cosmos-book.github.io/errata/
