You might have seen beautiful rainbows in the sky before. They form when sunlight falls on water drops in the air. But in fact, moonlight can also create rainbows in the same way. They are called "moonbows". They are similar to rainbows, but they are created by moonlight. 

Moonbows are more unusual than rainbows. Different weather and astronomical (天文学的) conditions have to be just right for moonbows to be created. The moon has to be very low in the sky — only 42 degrees from the horizon (地平线). The moon has to be a full moon or nearly full. The sky must be very dark for a moonbow to be watched clearly — any bright light can obscure it. Water drops must appear in the air in the opposite direction of the moon. Moonbows appear on the opposite side of the moon and usually look white to the human eye. This is because their colors are not bright enough to be noticed by the human eye. 

Moonbows more often appear in some locations around the world. Most of these locations usually have waterfalls, which create thin fog in the air. Some of these locations are the Yosemite National Park in California, Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Kentucky and Waimea in Hawaii, US. 

Moonbows do really happen. So at a certain time and a certain place, when a moonbow happens to appear, you can't miss it if you're right there.

阅读下面短文, 掌握其大意, 然后从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。

For most people, graduation(毕业) is an exciting day. But my graduation day was not.

I remember that weekend two years ago. Family and friends had1 from across the country to watch our class walk across that stage. We had degrees, but very few job chances because of the 2 economy (经济). I knew that the next day I  3 school, I would no longer have a place to call home.

I knew my small university town couldn't offer me any opportunities, so I drove to southern California to find 4 . I thought it would take a week to find one, but it 5 for two weeks, and then four weeks, and I found myself in the 6 spot(点) I was in before. 

You know that feeling when you wake up and you are full of fear? Fear about something you can't 7 . You hope that everything that has happened to you so far is just a bad 8

So what did I do to stay 9 ? I wrote. Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer — a little brighter. Something about writing gave me 10 . If you want something enough, sometimes a little hope is all you need!

I turned my 11  feelings into a children's book—about a surprising hero who simply refused to 12 on his dream.

Then one day, without a writing degree or experience in the writing world, 13 a lot of hard work —I was offered a publishing (出版) deal for my first book! After that, things started to get 14 . I was 15 a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with a big company and got a good job. 

It takes time, but just hold on — change can happen when you least expect it.
