    Think stars don't move? Think again! When you look at the sky at night, the stars may appear to stay in the same place. But stars are always on the move—they are just so far away that the movement is hard to see.
    But some stars move in ways that appear to be strange to be real. In 2005, astronomer Warren Brown found one of these space oddities(奇特). It was located on the outer edge of the Milky Way, the galaxy(星系) we live in. The star was speeding away like nothing he'd ever seen. “It seemed unbelievable. No star in the galaxy has a speed like that,” Brown remembers. “I thought, oh my goodness, I have something kind of special here.”
    No one had ever seen a star like this one. What does a scientist do when the results don't make sense?
    Brown didn't give up. Instead, he kept looking. And he kept finding more of these strange and speedy stars, called hypervelocity stars. Hyper means “above” and velocity has to do with speed. He and his team just found six more of these “above speed” stars, bringing to the total of 16. And, he says, he's found even more, and is just waiting for the scientific community to confirm them.

(1)、In 2005, astronomer Warren Brown found___________.

A、a star was speeding away very fast. B、a stars was moving away very slowly. C、some stars were not real. D、some stars were not in the Milky Way.
(2)、Which of the following is TRUE?

A、Stars never move at all. B、No star in the galaxy has a fast speed. C、It's hard to see the stars moving. D、Brown has never seen something special.
(3)、The underlined word “hypervelocity” in the last paragraph probably means”_____”.

A、匀速的 B、超速的 C、超重的 D、超常的
(4)、The writer writes this passage to tell us____________.

A、something about an astronomer. B、where the Milky Way is C、something about the speedy stars. D、how scientists do their research

    When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.

    People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.

    People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm's length. If they want to do much reading, they most get glasses too.

    Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people'8 eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.

    When night fails, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.
