The town of Green Bank, West Virginia, is the site of the largest radio telescope in the world, so Internet connections and anything else that can create electromagnetic(电磁的) waves, such as smart phones and microwave ovens, are banned.

Green Bank is frozen in time, somewhere in the 1950s, because there’s a 33,000-square-kilometer zone of silence due to the telescope. Cell phone towers are forbidden.

The closer you get to the telescope, the greater the restrictions. There’s a 16-kilometer radius(半径) around the observatory where radio-controlled items, even toys, cannot be used.

Telescope employees even work in a special room that blocks electromagnetic waves from leaving it. “Here imagine a submarine(潜艇), water cannot get inside, and so this room is an electric submarine. No electromagnetic waves can get into this room, just as you can’t go beyond it,” Michael Holstein, an observatory officer, said.

The size of a football field, the telescope is so sensitive that it could pick up signals sent from an alien world. And scientists can’t wait for that to happen.

“All the signals that we now receive with the help of telescopes are signals that come from cosmic objects — stars, galaxies. We have not yet received anything from intelligent civilizations,” scientist Richard Lynch said.

Local people respect the work of the scientists. “Yes, we are different. Many would say that we live the old-fashioned way, in the past. But for us, it’s just the way of life that we have always lived,” Sherry said.

“When we want to meet friends, we just call each other on a wire phone. And instead of sitting in front of your screen, we talk, we go fishing, to the mountains,” resident Sherry said.

For the latest news, residents read the weekly local newspaper. When she’s looking for a phone number, Sherry reaches for the phone book.

And instead of Facebook, Sherry enjoys daily conversations with her customers. In this town, everyone knows each other and communication is face to face.

1.Why do people in Green Bank live an old-fashioned life?

A. The town is economically less developed.

B. Electronic products will affect the radio telescope.

C. They have got used to it and don’t want to change.

D. The radio telescope stops electronic products working properly.

2.What can we learn about the radio telescope?

A. It was set up about in the 1950s.

B. It is in a room without electromagnet.

C. It is 16-kilometer in radius.

D. It has picked up signals from aliens.

3.How do the local people feel about their life?

A. Inspired. B. Unhappy.

C. Content. D. Worried.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A. High tech with traditional life at Green Bank

B. Radio telescope to receive alien signals

C. The largest radio telescope in the world

D. Old-fashioned life at Green Bank

In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries of nature. Some ancient peoples believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods.

In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs.

The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). This device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.

Modern science has discovered that one stroke of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts. A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.

Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day.

The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under a tree. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.

With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry.

1.People once thought lightning came from ________.

A. the sky B. the gods

C. the earth D. nature

2.According to the passage what do you think all buildings need?

A. Metal fences. B. Electricity.

C. lightning rods. D. Machines.

3.Lightning can travel ________.

A. as quickly as water

B. not so quickly as electricity

C. at very low speed

D. at very high speed

4.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. In the U.S. about 360 people die from lightning in a year.

B. The Empire State Building frequently gets hit by lightning.

C. Swimming during a thunder storm is a good idea.

D. A closed car is the best place to be during an electrical storm.

5.Lightning is probably ______ to man.

A. useful B. kind C. useless D. Friendly
