9、roducing music programs. B B 3 Justins bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires, bent tennis rackets, deflated basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could barely get in the door. His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room. “What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?“ h
10、is father asked. But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto, “Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.“ When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack- a smaller version of his bedroom- a place to store the many objects that he collected. It was
11、 so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore. Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations. Many of his classmates and neighbors thought about him when they needed help with a problem. On the first day of school,
12、 his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin. “Do you think you have something in your bag that could help me remember my locker combination（锁柜密码）?“ he asked. “I lost the piece of paper it was written on. I have a science class in two minutes and if Im late on the first day itll make me look bad for t
13、he rest of the year.“ Kenny looked really worried. “Relax,“ Justin said, taking his backpack off and unzipping the top. “Remember how you borrowed my notebook in homeroom to write the combination down? Well, I know how we can recover what you wrote.“ He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out o
14、f his bag. The page that Kenny had written on had left faint marks on another page in the notebook. Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed（摩擦） it lightly over the marks. Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white, set off by the gray pencil rubbings. “Thats amaz
15、ing! Kenny said. “I owe you one.“ And he dashed off to open his locker. 4 It was just another day in the life of the boy whose motto was “Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.“ 24.

Disinterested. C. Grateful. D. Angry. C C How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear nig
18、ht you might see the moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars. You can see even more with a telescope. And with bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail. But scientists believe there are some things i
19、n the sky that we will never see. We wont see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year. 5 Thats because theyre invisible. Theyre the mysterious dead stars called black holes. You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our sun is a star. Year a
20、fter year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly, giving usheat and light. The sun certainly doesnt seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years. As a stars gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and beg
21、ins to die. As the star cools, the outer layers（层） of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until its packed to
22、gether tighter than anything in the universe. Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. Thats how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? Its the same force that pulls you down when you jump-the force
23、called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything-even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. Thats why you see nothing but blackness. So next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: theres more in the sky than we can see! Scat

There is nothing as mysterious as a black hole. 30. What happens AFTER a star dies? A. It becomes invisible. B. It falls to earth. C. It burns up all of its gases. D.
