Most new people were born in developing countries. These countries are found in much of Africa,South America and some parts of Asia. In the developed countries of Europe and North America,the population is growing slowly. This is because women in the countries have,on average (平均),only one or two children. In the developing countries, many women have five or more children. In 1950,around one quarter of the world's population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be home to only around one tenth of the world's people.

In the developing counties more than one billion people are still living below the poverty(贫困) line. These people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor houses. Children get little time at school and people suffer(遭受痛苦) from many kinds of diseases.

At the beginning of the 21st century,the world's population was around six billion. The UN(联合国)has said that the world's population will continue to grow,reaching 14 billion before it becomes stable(稳定的),or even falls.

In our everyday life, some people use less energy by carpooling. For example, three or four persons can ride together in one car instead of driving three or four cars to work. Usually it is time-saving and convenient to carpool with their neighbors to take their children to school. Whenever we use electricity, we should turn off lights, the TV, the computer and so on when we don’t use them. On the other hand, we should use energy-saving products. Some products, like environment-friendly new energy cars, are made specially to save energy. These cars can travel longer than ordinary cars. They produce less pollution, too. Some products like computers and TVs with the ENERGY STAR label （标签） are made to save energy. The products with these labels will help us protect the environment.

Secondly, we should buy recyclable products instead of non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products usually take less energy. When we go shopping, pay attention to the recycle mark on the package: make a circle and three arrows.

Chinese scientists used LAMOST, a powerful Chinese telescope (望远镜), as well as telescopes in Hawaii and the Canary Islands, to make this discovery.

According to Einstein’s theory, black holes come from dying stars. The star collapses (坍塌) into a small point with a lot of mass and strong gravity (引力). The strong gravity of the black hole allows it to pull other things in and “eat” them. Scientists search for black holes by looking at x-rays that are released when they “eat” nearby stars. However, when black holes are inactive, this method doesn’t work.

This time, the researchers looked at stars that orbit invisible (看不见的) objects. These objects, they believe, cannot be anything but black holes. After calculating (计算) the speed of one particular star in a star system named LB-1, the scientists figured out that it was orbiting (绕轨道运行) a stellar-mass black hole.

The black hole’s mass is about 70 times the mass of our sun. According to current theory, this black hole shouldn’t even be able to exist. It was previously believed that the mass of such a black hole cannot be bigger than that of 25 suns. Stellar (星球的) winds blow away the heavy elements that are left behind when a star dies. But somehow, this black hole kept most of its heavy elements.

Researchers said it is possible that the black hole formed out of two large stars that died and merged (结合) together.

The discovery is also inspiring some researchers to revisit their previous studies. “This discovery forces us to re-examine our models of how stellar-mass black holes form,” University of Florida physicist David Reitze was quoted as saying in a press release.

【1】How did Chinese scientists find the stellar-mass black hole?

A.By looking at stars moving away from the black hole.

B.By studying x-rays that came from the black hole.

C.By calculating the gravity of a nearby black hole.

D.By looking at the speed of a star that orbits it.

【2】What does the underlined word “inactive” mean in Chinese?

A.积极的B.不活跃的C.快速的D.活泼的

【3】What do we know about the black hole?

A.It is much heavier than the sun.B.It is moving faster than the sun.

C.It hasn’t “eaten” any stars.D.It will disappear soon.

【4】What is the last paragraph about?

A.The importance of this discovery.

B.Previous studies on black holes.

C.The formation (形成构成) of stellar-mass black holes.

D.The preparations that were done before making this discovery.

【5】What do we know from the story?

A.Black holes are usually heavier than 25 suns.

B.We cannot believe current scientific theories.

C.Black holes can form after stars die.

D.Stellar-mass black holes contain no heavy elements.
