Imagine you are taking a bus home at night. Suddenly your cellphone loses its signal. The television on the bus has no programs. Everything around us black-except for some strange colorful lights dancing in the sky. What is going on?
These are just the kinds of problems a solar storm might cause. Solar storms happen when solar flares (耀斑)break from the sun and travel towards Earth quickly. Actually, since Sept.4, 2017, the sun has burst out two big solar flares, the most powerful ones since at least 2008 according to NASA. They hit Earth on Sept.7.
Normally, Earth is protected by its magnetic field (磁场). But when strong solar storm mix with it, things change. On the one hand, the colourful lights of the aurora (极光)can be seen from the US and Europe, rather than just from polar (极地的)areas. But on the other hand, the storms can stop the satellite systems that control our computers, cell phones and GPS. They can even cause blackouts (断电) for weeks or months.
, but they can put astronauts in danger. Spacewalking astronauts might have only minutes to hide. For this reason, NASA never plans spacewalks during solar storms.
Scientists now have a new tool called EEGGL, which can predict solar storms and hopefully give us warnings when they arrive. As for the recent storm, scientists say it is still too early to know its effect on our technology. They are closely watching for any long-term effects.

Hello, everybody. I'm Olivia. I'm glad to be here this afternoon. Do you have a friend with an interesting background? Today, I'd like to tell you about a 1.(活泼的)girl. I'll tell you a bit about her, where she's from, and why we're good friends.
You know, I didn't use to do much exercise. A few years ago, I joined a 2. (运动)club. On my fist day there, I met Raquel. After the gym, we had coffee 3.(一起)and soon became good friends. I think that's because we have a lot in common. We like to keep fit and love to 4.(尝试)different food, especially spicy food. And we love the ocean. In summer, we like to hang out at the 5.(海滩)and go surfing at least once a month. Raquel was born in Mexico, but has been here since she was 6. (十)years old. Her mother is Mexican and her father is American, so she can speak 7.(两者都)Spanish and English. That's something different about us. Although I 8.(上学;参加)a class last year, my Spanish is still terrible! Another thing that's different is her background. Raquel's from two countries and has experience and 9.(知识)of two cultures. I think that's really 10. (酷的).
We might not live in the same city in the future, but I think we'll stay friends. Thanks for listening to me.
