If you look at the night sky, you’ll often see stars moving very quickly. In fact, they move much more quickly than they should according to their size and the laws of physics.
Scientists do not completely understand why the speed of these stars is so high. But many believe the reason is that much of the universe is made of something called “dark matter”. Groups of stars called galaxies, such as the Milky Way, might even be made up of 90 percent dark matter.
How much something weighs depends on where it is. The same object weighs only half as much on Mars as it does on Earth and almost three times as much on Jupiter. So scientists prefer to talk about the mass (質量) of something rather than how much it weighs, because mass does not change. They can work out the mass of galaxies by measuring the distance between them and the speed they move at.
Recently, Jorge Pe?arrubia, a senior academic at Edinburgh University, UK, and his team discovered something interesting: The mass of the Milky Way is only half as much as the mass of another nearby galaxy, Andromeda. This seems strange, and dark matter may explain why.
Finding out more about dark matter could help us understand how the universe began, but this is not easy. Lots of scientists with different types of expert knowledge are working on the problem.
We can’t see dark matter, it’s very difficult to measure and we can’t find out its mass. Unlike stars, dark matter doesn’t produce or reflect light. But we can make a good guess that it is there because of the way things move and the way light bends. Experts now think dark matter may be very different from the matter that we find on Earth. There may also be five times as much dark matter in the universe as ordinary matter.
1.Something that weighs 15kg on Earth weighs about ________ on Mars and ________ on Jupiter.
A. 7.5 kg, 45 kgB. 30 kg, 45 kgC. 45 kg, 7.5 kgD. 5 kg, 30 kg
2.The author mentions the masses of the Milky Way and Andromeda mainly to ________.
A. explain why the same object has a different weight on different stars
B. compare the distance between the Milky Way and Andromeda
C. show that studying dark matter could help to answer some scientific questions
D. support the idea that scientists prefer to talk about mass instead of weight
3.Dark matter is difficult to investigate because ________.
A. it travels at a very fast speed
B. we can’t see where it is or measure its mass
C. it’s hard to measure the light it produces and reflects
D. it is much bigger than ordinary matter in size
4.According to the text, dark matter ________.
A. could accelerate the speed of stars
B. could lessen the mass of objects in galaxies
C. makes up the entire universe and its stars
D. may help us identify the origins of the universe

My parents and I made a tour to Xi’an last summer holiday. Instead of having a travel agency arranging our transportation and accommodation, we booked the train tickets and hotel rooms on the Internet by us. During our tour in Xi’an, we went to many places of interests and took lots of photos, learned about the history of Xi’an. No tourists would miss the local food in Xi’an, so would we. We enjoyed the typically local food, it tasted more delicious than we had expected. Hardly had I returned than I shared the photos and experiences for my classmates.

One evening last fall, while Marcos Ugarte did his homework and his father, Eduardo, a teacher, prepared lesson plans, they heard shouting outside. Eduardo, 47, and Marcos, 15, stepped onto the balcony(陽臺) of their two-story home. Immediately, Marcos’ s eye was caught by a flame from one of their neighbors’ houses.
"Dad, the house is on fire!" Marcos cried. Dressed only in shorts, the barefoot teen
dashed towards the Mas’ home with his dad. Grandmother Yim Ma, mother Suzanne Ma, and son Nathan Ma were gathered on the front grassland shouting for help. When the Ugartes got there, they saw through the open front door that father Alex Ma was falling down the stairs, coughing, his face black with dirt.
"Is anyone else in the house?" Eduardo asked.
"My son!" Alex managed to say, pointing to the second floor.
Eduardo started up the stairs, but thick, black smoke, swirling ash, and extreme heat forced him to his knees. He inched upstairs and down the hall where Alex said he would find Cody, eight, who had locked himself in a bedroom. "I’d never seen smoke like that," says Eduardo. "My glasses immediately turned black from the ash."
As the fire spread across the hall, Eduardo banged on the bedroom door and tried to turn the handle. But Cody didn’t respond, and Eduardo made his way back downstairs. At the same time, Marcos saw Yim and Suzanne pulling an aluminum(鋁) ladder out of the garage. "Cody was standing at the window, screaming for help," says Marcos.
"I knew I had to do something." He grabbed the ladder, positioned it near the window, and climbed towards the boy. When Marcos reached the window, he pushed the screen into the room and persuaded Cody out. "It’s OK," Marcos told him. "I’ve got you." Holding Cody with one arm, Marcos moved down the ladder. Halfway down, he handed the boy to a neighbor.
The day after the fire, Alex visited Marcos. "Thank you for saving my son," Alex said. "You are his hero forever."

A college student has turned the act of telling someone off into an art form. Lama Ali, who attend school in Virginia, had three final assignments due on the same day for her fashion drawing class. Exhausted after working on painting for seven hours straight, the 20-year-old decided to include a message in American Sign Language to her professor:
When your drawing teacher assigns 3 finals so you secretly write “you got me fucked up” in sign language on your final piece.
——Shawty Arabia(@LemAli23) December 7,2016
“You got me fucked up,” a bunch of hands in the painting spell out in ASL, in a form of sign known as finger spelling(聾啞字母表), which uses signs for each letter, rather than for the words themselves.
“Honestly the idea just came to me while I was finishing up the piece,” Ali told The Huffington Post.” I was looking at it and thought, ‘This could really use something else’. And then the idea struck me: Why not secretly express how I was feeling while struggling at the library at 4 a. m.?”
Once the fashion design major had finished her masterpiece, she posted it to Twitter on Dec. 7, where it has received over 113,000likes and 48,000 retweets (轉發(fā)).
Ali, who does not know ASL, told HuffPost she taught herself a little bit just for this particular assignment.
“You know it’s bad when you have to learn a whole other language to express how done you are,” she said. “I remembered seeing a post on Tumblr long ago with a similar phrase by the post, she decided to look up the letters in ASL to spell out the message. Someone on Twitter even did the good work of circling them in the painting.
Ali told HuffPost that when she finally presented the piece to her professor in her class, he absolutely loved it.
“Most of my friends in class actually knew about the secret message, so I was really surprised when no one laughed or blew my cover during critique(評論).” She also admits that her professor still doesn’t know about the message, despite her post getting so much attention.
1.Which of the following is closest in meaning to “You got me fucked up”?
A. I was greatly astonished.
B. You really worn me out.
C. I felt much appreciated.
D. You left me impressed.
2.What was it that gave Ali the inspiration to use ASL to express her feeling?
A. Her professor’s assignment.
B. Being too exhausted.
C. A post on Tumblr with ASL.
D. Her classmates’ encouragement.
3.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Her professor is not so clever as her classmates.
B. Her professor pretended not to understand.
C. Her professor is still in the dark about the message.
D. Her professor had been informed by her classmates.
4.How did Ali know about American Sign Language?
A. She learned it in middle school.
B. She majored in it at college.
C. She taught herself when prepared for the assignment.
D. Someone taught her on Twitter.

Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem (自信心). Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power,or responsibility for their lives. They are always victims. They are leaves tossed (搖擺) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause,we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive-thinking people,you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary,the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding,planting,and nurturing (培育) the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks (挫折).
In short, in all areas of your life,whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it. You are on the road to success.
1. Why people with low self-confidence are compared to leaves?
A. Because they can’t exercise control over themselves
B. Because they are easily affected by windy weather
C. Because they don’t have the power to face their fate
D. Because they are ready to change their minds
2.What would losers think?
A. Success is the result of hard work
B. Working hard will lead to success
C. They fail only because of bad luck
D. They don’t make efforts to succeed
3. What can be inferred from the fifth paragraph?
A. Setting our expectations is essential before taking action
B. Knowing cause and effect is the key to future success
C. Thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D. Whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes
4. What does the last paragraph serve as?
A. The proof of the author’s points
B. The conclusion of the argument
C. An introduction to another topic
D. A comparison between two views
