Twenty years ago or so, I was a 13-year-old runaway from an Oxford boarding school. It was late at night and I had nowhere to go. A number of people walked past me and stared interestedly at me. I was very frightened. Anything could have happened to me that night, but I met you. I still remember your words as you walked past me for a second time. “Excuse me. It is so dangerous for a girl to walk on the street at night. Would you like to spend the night at my house?”

You were a sensible-looking young woman. It seemed to obvious to me that I could trust you. You took me to your flat and let me sleep on the floor. You made me a cup of tea and left me to sleep somewhere safe and warm.

In the morning, you convinced me to do “the right thing”. As I was leaving, you hesitantly admitted that a friend of yours had died and you had been “” that night. You suggested that my presence had stopped you doing “something stupid” and I felt that we had helped each other. That knowledge helped me return to school.

For some reason I didn’t tell anyone where I had spent the night. I was worried they would criticize you for not calling the police. I told my mother about you several years later and I knew she wished that she could thank you for keeping me safe.

I hope you understand that I am grateful. My life could have been very different if someone else had found me that night. I hope you have recovered from your friend’s death. I hope you’re OK now. And I hope you read this so that I can finally say “thank you”.

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star is a charming song for children, but it contains two misunderstandings. First, stars aren’t little. Some may be Earth-sized, but most are bigger than Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. Second, they don’t twinkle; they shine. And the brightness and color of the light from each star provide information about its temperature, size and even its age and likely fate. because the atmosphere is dense(稠密的) compared to the emptiness of space. Moreover, air is always moving, son starlight appears to be moving, too. The atmosphere also makes stars appear dimmer than they would be if we could see them from space.

If you stop and examine the sky on a dark and moonless night, it’s easy to recognize color differences among stars. The color of a star is a visual signal of its surface temperature. The hottest stars are blue, and the next hottest are white. Yellow stars like the sun are next, while red stars are the coolest of the visible stars. Many red stars are so dim that people can’t see them at all, and some stars hardly send out any 4 D. provide the writer with a safe and C. Disappointed D. Frightened

light at all. One reason that stars differ in brightness is that hotter stars produce more energy than cooler ones, but another important reason is that some are much bigger than others.

Some stars appear brighter to human beings simply because they’re closer. Astronomers rank the brightness of stars which are seen form Earth by assigning them a number known as apparent magnitude(视星等) ---- the smaller the apparent magnitude, the brighter the object. They have also designed a measure that ranks stars according to how bright they are when compared to each other. With an apparent magnitude of minus 26.7, the sun is the brightest object in the sky.

51. From the song quite familiar to children, the writer wants to prove that A. most stars are smaller than Jupiter B. Jupiter is bigger and brighter than Earth

C. stars are very large and always shine brightly

D. starlight’s brightness and color reflect its temperature

B. a blue or white star is hotter than a red or yellow star

C. a yellow star like the sun is the hottest in space

D. a blue star is much bigger than stars in other colors

54. Apparent magnitude is designed to measure A. how far a star is from Earth
