High-climbing kid raises hopes

  Michael McCarthy climbed to the top of the Willis Tower not long ago.The Tower stands 1451 feet(442 meters)tall, the highest building in the US.

  As he got to the last step, McCarthy almost fell down, but that didn't stop him.The 14-year-old boy finally finished climbing the 2,109 steps and arrived at the top, where he enjoyed the cheers from the crowd.

  “I just want to show people that if a kid with no legs can do it, anyone can do it, ”McCarthy said.

  McCarthy, who was born without legs, has to wear prosthetic legs(假肢)and use a set of crutches(拐杖)to walk.But McCarthy has a strong heart.He believes nothing can stop him from achieving his success.

  He has been in a karate(空手道)school since he was four years old.When he decided to climb the Willis Tower, his karate teacher, Jeff Kohn, was moved and offered to help train him.They spent more than 10 hours practicing climbing stairs and keeping balance with the prostheses and crutches on the steps every day.“It seems that he never knows what tiredness is.Sometimes, I was so tired that I asked him to call it a day, ”said Kohn.“But he said he was still full of energy and wanted more exercise.”

  Kohn was with McCarthy for the climb.“I saw the last 10 floors-he went faster, ” said Kohn.“He's the most hard-working athlete I've ever trained.”

  McCarthy said he was proud of himself and that the Tower now holds special meaning.“When I'm older, I'll point to the building and say ‘Look at this building I climbed’.”he said.

When you look up into the sky at night, have you ever felt that your eyes are playing tricks on (捉弄) you? It seems that the stars are moving all the time.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with your eyes. This twinkling effect is called scintillation (交光). Scintillation happens because of air movements in the earth’s atmosphere (大气). Light is “bent (弯曲的)” when it travels through different parts of the earth’s atmosphere. As the air in the earth’s atmosphere is moving all the time, the light from the stars looks as if it is moving too.

The same thing also happens to things on the ground. On a very hot and shiny day, if you look at the road, the image in the distance is not clear and things move slightly. You can also see the same effect if you drop a rock into water. The rock appears a little unclear under the moving water.

This twinkling effect causes a lot of problems for astronomers (天文学家) since they cannot observe the stars clearly. A telescope (望远镜) was sent into space so that the air movements in the atmosphere could be avoided (避免). It took a long time to build the space telescope but finally in 1990, a huge space telescope called the Hubble Space Telescope was successfully sent into space. Since then, astronomers have many important observations that have helped people understand space better.
