17、he is not a typical superhero.Two things set him apart:He doesnt fight human enemies，but hunger and homelessness.Also，hes only four years old.Our superheros origin story started from the day when TJ Perine，his father，took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries，a local shelter that provides housing，food
18、and other services for the homeless.As they drove by the building，they saw a group of 25 homeless men standing on the street corner.That day，Austin used his allowance to buy each man a sandwich and handed the food out himself with his slogan，“Dont forget to show love!”After he returned every week fo

But a new 3D map reveals a surprise:_.The Milky Way is a spiral(漩涡型的) galaxy, in which stars and gas clouds exist mainly
26、 in its spiral “arms”. Our massive neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy(仙女座), is also spiral. Spiral galaxies usually appear very flat and easy to see through a telescope, said the researchers.Using 1,339 large, pulsating(脉冲的) stars to make a 3D map of the Milky Way, researchers discovered instead that th
27、e galaxys disk of stars is increasingly twisting，most likely due to the spinning of the disk. And the farther the stars are from the center, the more twisted it becomes.Previously, astronomers saw evidence of hydrogen clouds becoming warped(弯曲的) in the Milky Way. This isnt completely abnormal, becau
28、se astronomers have noticed the same pattern of progressively twisting spirals in about a dozen other galaxies. But it does help them make more sense of our galaxy.Because we live in this galaxy, that makes it harder to observe, and dust and starlight make it even more difficult when using telescope
29、s. Trying to determine what our galactic center looks like is similar to trying to find the center of a forest youre standing in.“It is extremely difficult to determine distances from the Sun to parts of the Milky Ways outer gas disk without having a clear idea of what that disk actually looks like,
30、” lead study author Xiaodian Chen of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing said in a statement.From afar, the Milky Way appears like a thin rotating(旋转的) disk of stars, orbiting the center every few hundred million years. In the center, hundreds of billions of stars and dark matter hold the gal
31、axy together.But as you move toward the outermost reaches of the galaxy, the gravitational glue of the center fades. In the outer disk, this keeps hydrogen gas from being restricted, which contributes to an S-shaped warping.“Somewhat to our surprise, we found that in 3D our collection of 1339 stars
32、and the Milky Ways gas disk follow each other closely. This offers new insights into the formation of our home galaxy,” Richard de Grijs, senior study co-author and professor at Macquarie Universitys Department of Physics and Astronomy, said in a statement. “Perhaps more importantly, in the Milky Wa
33、ys outer regions, we found that the S-like stellar(星的) disk is warped in a progressively Twisted spiral pattern.”So the massive inner disks rotational force causes the outer disk to warp, the researchers concluded.“This research provides a crucial updated map for studies of our galaxys stellar motio
34、ns and the origins of the Milky Way,” said Licai Deng, co-author and senior researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in a statement.1、Which of the following might be the missing sentence in the first paragraph?AThe Milky Way is being warped and twisted by its stars.BThe Milky Way is spiral and
35、 orbiting itself all the time.CThe formation of our home galaxy is due to the force of gravity.DThe origin of the Milky Way lies in its rotational force.2、What does the underlined “this” refer to?Athe Milky WayBthe gravitational glueCthe fading of gravityDthe outermost reach of the galaxy3、Which of
36、the following is true according to the passage?AThe galaxy we live in is unique for its special spirals.BThe stars in the center of the Milky Way are more twisted.CThe distance from the sun to other stars is already known to scientists.DThe rotation of its inner center forces the Milky Way to twist.
37、4、What is the significance of this finding?AIt reveals why the Milky Way is a flat and spiral galaxy.BIt leads to a breakthrough of using 3D technology in space research.CIt proves a previous way of observing the Milky Way while we are living in it.DIt contributes to our knowledge about the Milky Wa

I knew everything would be okay if I located my mother.Instead of a smile, she greeted me with concern. I knew she had read my face
39、as Id approached. “Whats wrong?” she asked.I held the baby out. “I cant take care of this baby,” I said simply. My mother didnt take her from my arms as I expected. She smiled slightly, and then replied firmly, “You have to take care of that baby.” This was not the response I wanted. Couldnt she hea
40、r the baby crying? I wanted her to fix this problem. Instead, she took off her gloves and asked me in for some coffee.Mom held Kelly while I held the coffee cup. At that moment the baby finally stopped crying. I glanced over at Kelly, content in my mothers arms. Her tiny blue eyes were fixed on me,
41、as if to ask, “Whats the problem here, Mama?” Her sweet, familiar breath eased the stress in the air. I looked at my mother, feeling foolish but relieved. She stood and placed an arm around my shoulders. “By the time you came along, things were quite the opposite for me. But with my first child, you
42、 can bet that I often felt helpless.”The baby showed no signs of our afternoon struggle, while my own hair remained damp and messy from sweat and worry. “Crying is the only way babies have to communicate. Try to listen to her cries and hear them as language. Shes not crying to annoy you; shes trying
43、 to convey a message with the only voice she has.”Once again, her gentle guidance had supported me through a storm and back into clear skies. As I headed back to my own home, Mom reminded me, “It wont always be so hard. Children grow fast. Before you know it, youll have an empty nest and youll miss
