First, stars arent little. Some may be Earth-sized, but most are bigger than Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system (太陽系). Second, they dont twinkle; they shine. And the brightness and color of the light from each star provide information about its temperature, size and even its age. viewing the stars from Earth is a bit like looking at them through a water filter (過濾器) because the air is thick compared to the emptiness of space. What is more, air is always moving, so starlight appears to be moving, too. The air also makes stars appear dimmer (暗淡的) than they would be if we could see them from space.If you stop and look at the sky carefully on a dark and moonless night, its easy to find color differences among stars. The color of a star is a signal of its surface temperature. The hottest stars are blue, and the next hottest are white. Yellow stars like the sun are next, while red stars are the coolest of the visible (可見的) stars. Many red stars are so dim that people cant see them at all, and some stars hardly send out any light at all. One reason that stars different in brightness is that hotter stars produce more energy than cooler ones, but another important reason is that some are much bigger than others.Some stars appear brighter to humans simply because theyre closer. Astronomers rank (排列) the brightness of stars which are seen from Earth by giving them a name known as magnitude (光度) -the smaller the magnitude, the brighter the object. They have also designed a number that ranks stars according to how bright they are when compared to each other. With a magnitude of minus 26.7, the sun is the brightest object in the sky.（1）From the song quite familiar to children, the writer wants to prove that . A . most stars are smaller than JupiterB . Jupiter is bigger and brighter than EarthC . stars are very large and always shine brightlyD . starlights brightness and color are the signs of its temperature（2）Magnitude is designed to see . A . how far a star is from EarthB . how bright a star is compared to other starsC . how far a star is from other starsD . how bright a star is seen from Earth（3）Which is the best title of this passage? A . What do stars look like?B . Which song do children like best?C . How to view the stars from Earth?D . Why are many stars so dim at night?18. （8分）閱讀短文，從下面每小題的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。 When winter comes, most plants lose their leaves.

These are just the types of problems a solar storm(太陽風(fēng)暴) might cause. You may not think of storms as putting our society in danger. But today, a solar storm is as serious as other bad events, such as earthquakes.A solar storm is caused by solar flares (太陽耀斑) :large explosions (爆炸) near the sun that can give off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems (衛(wèi)星系統(tǒng)) that control our computers, telecom networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.In the past few months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most recent one happened around Valentines Day, 2011. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what weve seen in the past. Were not talking about a few cities losing power, it could be half of the country, maybe more, SolarStorm W, a US website about space weather, warned.Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm.

So good, in fact, that she learned how to jailbreak cellphones after watching an instructional video online. So when the School of Unlimited Learning (SOUL) offered one of just a few places in a professional-level computer coding class, she welcomed the chance.Hacking isnt part of the class. But Orozco and 14 of her classmates are getting top training in HTML and website design through Geekwise Academy, a coding school in Fresno. During the class at Geekwise, the students were gathered around small laptops, keys clicking as they typed out some code and designed their websites. Instructor Damon Thomas was at the front, teaching them about tags (標(biāo)記) and links as the teenagers wrote down notes in their notebooks.I plan to go to college right when I finish high school, Orozco said. Its something most SOUL students wouldnt have thought about before enrolling (錄取) there. Many come from poor families and have trouble at home, school principal Mark Wilson said. The schools partnership with Geekwise is helping them follow their dreams. Here at Geekwise, nobody cares about your background. If you can code, you can code, he said.For some SOUL students, the class helps them gain a profitable (利潤豐厚的) skill. SOUL has students with no internet access (使用的機會) and no computers at home. So the ability to come in here and touch that technology in general is meaningful, Bitwise Industries CEO Jake Soberal said. Raymond Royas said that because he doesnt have access to the internet at home, Geekwise is the only place he gets time with a computer. It has awakened a new passion in him.Im not 100 percent sure about my lifetime career, said the 15-year-old, but I could definitely see this as a job Id be interested in.（1）The author mentions Deija Orozcos story in the beginning to _.

And some kids get money or other rewards(獎賞) such as more computer time by doing chores. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards by doing chores. Susie Walton, an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isnt important unless you can get something. Running any kind of family is a team work, Walton says. A home is a living place for everyone in the family. Its important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house.Other people believe that getting money or other rewards makes kids do chores happily and it also teaches them real world lessons about what we need to do to make money. There are also now apps(應(yīng)用軟件). With the Chore-Monster app, kids can get points and online gifts by doing chores. Kids can change them into real life rewards either online or in the real world.
