If you are asked to name some national emblems of China, the dragon will probably be one of the famous images that pop into your head. We Chinese often consider ourselves "the descendants(后代)of the dragon." It is not unfamiliar to you that your parents hope that you "may become the dragon".  
  As a mythical(神秘的)creature, the dragon is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Traditionally, dragons are considered to govern rainfall. They have the power to decide where and when the rain falls. In addition, the dragon is a symbol of imperial (帝王的)power. The emperors thought they were real dragons and the sons of the heaven.   
But the creature is regarded differently in Western countries. In the Bible, dragons represent the devil(恶人). Western people usually see dragons as cold-blooded reptiles(爬虫), like snakes and cruel killers. In their eyes, dragons are also dishonest.  
  Dragons in Western literature are presented as monsters(怪物). It is a common tale for a mediaeval knight(中世纪的骑士) to kill a dragon and save a princess and her country from its evil. Even the popular boy wizard Harry Potter has to battle against a dragon.    
  However, dragons are not all bad in the West. "Puff the Magic Dragon" is a well-known song. The lyrics(歌词) tell a bitter-sweet story of the dragon Puff and his playmate Jackie Paper, a little boy. When Jackie grows up, he loses interest in the imaginary adventures of childhood and leaves Puff upset. Puff represents the innocence of a child's imagination, which is very positive for a dragon.

  It is ten o'clock at night and you are outside. You can see many stars in the sky. Each star is another sun. The sky is big, and it hag many suns.

  Our sun is near to us. It warms us and gives us light in daytime. The stars are not near. We can see their light only at night, and they do not warm us.

  The stars are not all the same. Many stars are quite like our sun. They are the same size, and they have the same colour, yellow. Other stars are bigger or smaller. A “giant(巨人)” star is very, very big. A “dwarf(侏儒)”is a small star—smaller than the sun.

  Stars have different colours, too. They can be blue, orange, yellow, white or red. There are giants and dwarfs in all these colours. All stars are, of course, very hot. The hottest stars are the blue ones. White stars come next, they are less hot. Then yellow and orange stars are less hot again. Red stars are the least hot, and they are also the oldest stars.

  Light moves very quickly across the sky, eighteen million (18,000,000)kilometers in a minute. Our nearest star is a red dwarf. Its name is Proxima Centauri ( proxima = nearest), and it gives a weak, red light. We can just see this light. It left Proxima Centauri 4.25 years ago, and now tonight, it is reaching cur eyes. Think about it! In one minute, 18,000,000 kilometres. So, in 4.25 years—well, how many kilometers? You can find the answer yourself.

  I will just say this: Proxima Centauri is a long way from us.

1.According to the temperatures on stars, the right order from the lowest temperature to the highest is ________.

[  ]

A.red→yellow→white→blue

2.All the following am right except ________.

[  ]

A.a “dwarf” is smaller than the sun

B.there are dwarfs in different colours

C.a “dwarf” is a small star

D.dwarfs are the least hot

3.How far away is the star Proxima Centauri from us?

[  ]

A.40,208,400,000,000 kilometres.

B.9,460,800,000,000 kilometres.

C.679,140,000,000 kilometres .

D.279,225,000,000 kilometres .

4.When we say “The star Procyon is ‘ten light years’ away.”, we mean ________.

  The personal computer has overtaken the family dog as man’s best friend, according to a study.

  Researchers found that just 6 per cent of us believe that “most people rely more on their dog than they do on their PC”, while 67 per cent think the opposite to be true.

  Even 38 per cent of dog owners admitted to relying more on their PC than on their dog, although 36 per cent disagreed.

  And 71 per cent of 18 to 24-year-old dog owners said they relied more on their computer.

  Paul Allen, editor of Computeractive magazine said:“These days you can even take your PC for a walk, provided you have a laptop or tablet.”

  “It’s only a matter of time until the first PC that fetches your slippers.”

  Researchers questioned 2,000 British adults to find out about the change modern technology has brought to their home life.

  They found that male dog owners are almost twice as likely as female owners to rely on their computer than a canine companion.

  Mr.Allen said:“With broadband bringing them global news and newspaper sales falling, the family dog even misses out on the pleasure of taking the paper to his owner.”

  But it’s not all bad news for obedient dogs.

  “The family PC has given dog owners access to a wealth of resources and information that can help with the long-term care that a dog needs,” Mr.Allen said.
