阅读理解

    Most of the universe is made up of a kind of matter. It's called "dark matter". None of us have ever seen it, and It's also very difficult to study.

Past research suggested there is more dark matter around younger galaxies (星系) than the ancient ones from the early days of the universe, but where did the dark mater come from? After studying some 1,500 galaxies, researchers led by Alfred Riley found the amount of dark matter around these huge stars and planets is about the same as it ever was.

    We can't see dark matter in space because it doesn't reflect (反射) light, but we can study it by studying the influence the matter has on all around it. It gives a pull, just like "normal" matter.

By explaining the size of a galaxy and the speed at which stars on its edges (边缘) are moving, scientists can learn how much dark matter is around it.

Recently, scientists use the same way to study many hundred galaxies, both young and old.

They believe there's not much of a difference in the amount of dark mater between ancient galaxies and much younger ones.

However, not all of them fully agree with this new finding. The model researchers used has been called into question, especially as it relates to measurements (测量) of faraway high-mass (高质量的) galaxies which have been studied by others searching for dark matter.

     Well have to wait and see how this all goes, but the results are certainly interesting and will no doubt further the conversation about where the universe's dark mater lies.

    What is the sky? How high is it? What color is it? What birds can live above it? These questions are difficult to answer, aren't they? In fact, the sky has no color. Then why does the sky look blue?

    We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can't fly very high. That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher. The same will happen to us if we go high enough. If we go up about 1,200 kilometers from the earth, we'll find no air there. Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane, but they cannot fly or live without air.

    Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue. The color would be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun. Sometimes the sky doesn't look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange and other colors in the sky, such are the most beautiful moments of the day.

    Who can see the colors of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts! They can see those beautiful colors of the sky from the outer space. However, before flying into the outer space, they sit in a spaceship high above the earth and there is no air at all. The sky would be that dark and its color would be black.

    Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters (使散射) the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air there would be no colors.

    English playwright Arthur Wing Pinero said, "Where there's tea, there's hope." Similarly, a Chinese saying goes that "Firewood, rice, cooking oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day."

    Tea is, without doubt, welcomed all over the world. According to Statista, a German website for statistics (数据), global tea production reached about 5.8 million tons in 2018. It has become the most consumed beverage (饮品) in the world – after water, of course.

    According to the UN, tea is much more than just a hot drink. It's a big part of many cultures around the world. You probably know that people in China use top-grade tea to show respect when receiving important guests. Meanwhile, the British tradition of afternoon tea is an important part of that country's identity. Making Malaysia's pulled tea has become a sort of art form, where drinkers take pride in its entertainment aspects.

    Apart from its cultural significance (意义), tea is also a medicine, used from ancient times to modern day. "Tea is cold and lowers the fire," Chinese Ming Dynasty herbalist Li Shizhen once said. The health benefits of tea are still being discovered today: preventing heart disease, obesity and cancer have all been linked to drinking green tea, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information in the US.

    Hot or cold, bagged or loose-leaf, tea is more than a drink – it's a social custom and also a magic medicine, a link to the past and a way of life.
