Stop reading for a mirage and think about what you see when you look up at the sky on a clear night. You probably see many stars. Long long ago, farmers watched some stars to know when to plant their crops. Travellers did so to find their ways in the dark. Today stars are still important to some people. Scientists found out that most stars are very big. In fact some stars are so far away that it would take millions of years to get to them even by spaceship. Another thing we know today about stars is that some are made up of hot gases. The gases are so hot that they send out light. If you watch a star carefully, you may notice that it twinkles
(闪烁)sometimes. As you may understand, light from a star must shine through the air before you can see the star. Air is always moving, it makes fight from the star move back and forth. When the light moves, it makes the star twinkle. Stars also have different colors. The color of a star depends on how hot it is. To our surprise, the cool stars are red and the hottest are blue white根据短文内容选择最佳答案

People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the church and have made up their minds to 15 the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest(抗议) against heavy trucks which run 16 through the narrow High Street.“They not only make it 17 to sleep at night, but they are doing damage(损害) to our houses and shops of historical 18 ,”
said John Norris, one of the protesters.
“ 19 we must have these noisy trucks on the roads,” said Jean Lacey, a biology student, “why don’t they build a new road that goes round the town? Burlington isn’t much more than a 20 village. Its streets were never meant for heavy traffic”.
Harry Fields also studying 21 said they wanted to make as much noise as possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody was having to stand. “Most of them don’t live here anyway,” he said, “they come in for meetings and the Town Hall is soundproof(隔音的), so they probably don’t 22 . It’s high time they realized the problem.” The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were mostly on their side, and even if they weren’t they soon would be.
I asked if they were 23 that the police might come to stop them.
“Not really,” she said, “actually we are suitable bellringers. I mean we are assistant bellringers for the church. There is no 24 against practising.”
I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.
