It proves the existence(存在) of black holes objects
19、we have studied for some time, but never actually seen.In 1915, the scientist Albert Einstein created the general theory of relativity (广 义相对论), whichexplains how gravity(引力) works. According to the theory, black holes would have very strong gravity and would probably be ring-shaped with a shadow ar
20、ound them.But no one had ever actually seen a black hole before until now. Scientist have created thousands of simulations(横拟) of what black holes might look like, and behind each simulation lies a different theory about ho universe. Luckily, the black hole in the photo looks more or less like what
21、Einstein thought.If it didnt it could mean that the general theory of relativity -one of the basic theories about the universe-might be wrong.Scientists have long wondered what might be inside ofa black hole. We donthave an answerto this question just yet. But this new photo has given us another way
22、 to study black holes.The picture shows us that light can be seen when gravity pulls dust and gas into a black hole. f we (ant go into a black hole to study It at least now we can study the area around it.The matter(物质) that we can study outside of a black hole can tell us how galaxies(星系) change an
23、d how the universe has evolved(演化).Being able to take pictures ofa black hole means we are now closerto solving these very basic questions about the universe,said Gou Lijin, a Chinese researcher.31.

27、 rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating(迁徒) animals.Migrating animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold areas in winter to warmer ones. Birds may fly from one part of the world to another, perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way. Whales and
28、 turtles travel through huge areas of ocean. A report says that changes in any one of the places where these animals stay can cause serious problems. Obviously these animals have developed their traveling ways over thousands of years. But weather change is much greater over the next 25 to 50 years a
29、nd it is impossible for these animals to change their habits fast enough,said the report writer Dr Robert Hepworth.Turtles are hit hardest by rising temperatures. Scientists have found that at higher temperatures, turtles have far more female eggs than male ones. In parts of Malaysia, turtles are on
30、ly giving birth to female babies.And some turtles are more probable to develop cancer as the waters get warmer.With birds, the main problem is the harm to important areas at the end of their travels or at resting place along the way. About one-fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of th
31、ese changes including risingsea levels, land loss and more strong storms.Some other animals are now in great danger. For example, the North Atlantic Right Whale is losing their food because of the changing ocean flows; the White-Nose Dolphin is out-competed(淘汰) by other kindsin warmer waters.The rep
32、ort is not all bad news. Even with the temperature changing, protecting theenvironment can still help migrating animals return.We need governments to start taking action all over the word. The clock is ticking. We should make full use of every minute.said Dr Hepworth. And now some projects are alrea

38、y made us in his image, each bullet(子弹) in my wifes body would have been a wound in his heart.Therefore I will not give you the gift of hating you.
