How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! a clear evening you might see the Moon and some planets. And thousands of sparkling stars , too.
You can see even with a telescope. You might see stars where you only saw dark space before. You might see that many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars look white are really red or blue.
But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we . We can’t see them with the biggest telescope in the world, even when it is the clearest night of the year. That’s they’re invisible. They’re the mysterious dead stars called black holes. You might find hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our Sun is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesn’t seem getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years. As a star’s gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs , the star stops burning and begins to die.
So the next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: there’s more in the sky than that meets the eye. amazing space it is!

While I was waiting to go into university, I saw in a newspaper a teaching job wanted at a school about ten miles from where I. Because I was in great need ofand wanted to do something useful, I applied(申请).
Three days later, a letter. It asked me to see theat Croydon. It proved to be a (n) journey —a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk ofa quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived there, feeling too hot to be nervous. Clearly, the principalopened the door. He wasand round.
“The school” he said, “has a group of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen.”
I should have to teach all the except art, which he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into groups and teach them at three different, and I was notat the thought of teaching maths —a subject which I didn’t do very well in at school. It was that I had to teach them on Saturday afternoon most of my friends would be themselves at that time.
Before I had time to ask about my salary(薪水), he got up to his feet. “Now,” he said. “You’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really runs this school.”

The night of graduation, I was afraid. Two hundred people were sitting out there. I felt tense and I wanted to run away, 1 I couldn’t! After all, my own children were sitting in front of me with many other persons. I couldn’t be a coward(懦夫) before 2 .
When I ended the speech, I was3 at the cheering. And I never forget the first time I received the cheering in my life.
Flowers arrived4 my brothers and sister. My husband gave me silk roses. The reporters came with 5 and recorders and lots of questions. There were tears and hugs and congratulations.
Sometimes, I sit down and 6 the tape of my graduation speech. I hear myself say to the audience, “Don’t’ give up your 7 in life. Anything can happen if you believe. It means hard work, but 8 sure that you can do it, with God’s help.”
And then, I remember mother’s 9 to me , a young girl: “Hurry, Gin, you’ll be late for school.”
Yes, Mom, I was late 10 school, but it was sweeter for waiting. I only wish you and Dad could have been there to see your daughter and granddaughter in all their show and speech.
