Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000km, but sound travels only 344m. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your ears. This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays(光線)left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km per minute. In some cases the light from one of tonight’s stars started on its journey to you before you were born.
Thus, if we want to be honest, we cannot say “ The stars are shining tonight.” We have to say, “ The stars look pretty. They were shining four years ago but their light has only just reached Earth.”
【小題1】 Light speed is ________ than sound speed.
A.millions times faster | B.a(chǎn) million times slower |
C.a(chǎn)bout millions of times faster | D.a(chǎn)bout a million times faster |
A.you can hear the gun before you see the smoke. |
B.sound does not travel as fast as light. |
C.the sound of the gun will reach you before the man fires his gun. |
D.sound travels about a million times faster than light. |
A.moon light | B.light rays | C.the nearest star | D.the moon |
A.the stars have been shining all the time. |
B.the stars seen tonight will be shining four years later. |
C.the stars were shining long ago but are seen tonight. |
D.the starlight seen today could be seen four years ago. |

It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生產(chǎn)商) follow certain uniform standards for various features of clothes.What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men.Take a look at the way your clothes button.Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s form the left.Considering most of the word’s population----men and women----are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women.So why do women’s clothes button from the left?
History really seems to matter here.Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants.For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier.On the other hand, having men’s shirts button form the right made sense, too.Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.
Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning form the left is still the standard for them.Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change.At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned form the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right.After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch.Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.
【小題1】What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?
A.It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years. |
B.It is different for men’s clothing and women’s. |
C.It woks better with men than with women. |
D.It fails to consider right-handed people. |
A.They tended to wear clothes without buttons. |
B.They were interested in the historical matters. |
C.They were mostly dressed by servants. |
D.They drew their swords from the left. |
A.a(chǎn)dopting men’s style is improper for women |
B.manufacturers should follow standards |
C.customs are hard to change |
D.modern women dress themselves |
A.a(chǎn)nalyzing causes | B.making comparisons |
C.examining differences | D.following the time order |

Who are these people rushing by you on the street? More than 250 million people now call America" home" , but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world.

Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sight that Pompeii is famous for—its stadium and theaters, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii’s people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,ooo years.
Once Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mt Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano. Mt Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not. In August of the year 79 AD, Mt Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ashes began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.
For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stones and ashes. Then in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city almost looked the same as it had looked in 79 AD. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20,000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue color in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread—a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.
Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.
【小題1】Why do large number of people come to Pompeii each year?
A.To visit the volcano. | B.To shop and eat there. |
C.To watch sports and plays. | D.To see how Pompeiians lived. |
A.Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully. |
B.Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched. |
C.Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects. |
D.Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted. |
