Millions of stars are travelling about in space. A few form groups which travel together, but most of them travel alone.
And they travel through a universe which is so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most important part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbour. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near it.
We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering(漫游) through space, happened to come near our sun just as the sun and the moon raised its tides(潮汐) on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; A large tidal(潮汐的) wave must have travelled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and thrown off small parts of itself into space.
These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets. Most stars are _________________________.
| A．following a regular path in space |
| B．moving about without a fixed course |
| C．seldom wandering about in the universe |
| D．always travelling together |
Some two thousand years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because _____________.
| A．the star moved away from the sun |
| B．another star happened to come near the sun |
| C．the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earth |
| D．a large tidal of wave travelled over the surface of the sun |
The article suggests that _______________.
| A．how space formed |
| B．our earth exists before the sun |
| C．no one knows where the earth comes from |
| D．our earth used to be a high mountain in the sun |
The expression “the cause of the disturbance” refers to ________.
| A．the large tidal wave | B．the powerful tidal pull |
| C．the star coming near the sun | D．one of sun’s planets |
In the article, the writer mainly wants to tell us ______________.
| A．where the planets in the universe came from |
| B．how the high mountains were formed on the sun |
| C．that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine it |
| D．why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerful |

The giant panda is one of the most popular animals in the world. A giant panda can grow up to 1.5 meters long and weigh up to 160kg. People think the giant panda is very lovely. ①So it is not surprising that the World Wide Fund for Nature chose the giant panda as its symbol. The WWF tells people about animals that they are in danger and raises money to save them.
The giant panda only lives in the wild in China. In the early 1980s, were only 1,000 left in the wild. The main reason why pandas are endangered is that the area where pandas can live has become smaller.
The WWF works to help giant pandas in the wild in many ways. One of the ways that helps them is to increase the size of panda reserves(自然保护区). Some reserves need to be joined together by planting bamboo between them to make “corridors”. These are paths that lead from one reserve to another. No one may harm the pandas in these areas. The corridors let pandas move from one habitat(栖息地) to another to look for food. ②People are working very hard to make sure the giant panda does not die out. How long and heavy can a giant panda grow to be?

There have been many great inventions or things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was the one that is still very important today——the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distance.
For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that as much effect as the wheel . Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.
In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all play a big part in our daily life today.

Since then other countries , including China and Japan, have made their own steps into space.
