Black Holes
Most scientists agree that black holes exist but are nearly impossible to locate.A black
hole in the universe is not a solid object,like a planet,but it is shaped like a sphere （球体）.Astronomers（天文学家）think that at the center of a black hole there is a single point in
space with infinite（无限的）density（稠密）.This single point is called a singularity （奇点）.If
the singularity theory is correct,it means that when a massive star collapses,all the material
in it disappears into the singularity.The center of a black hole would not really be a hole at
all,but an infinitely dense point.Anything that crosses the black hole is pulled in by its great
gravity.
Although black holes do exist,they are difficult to observe.These are the reasons.
● No light or anything else comes out of black holes.As a result,they are invisible to a
telescope.
● In astronomical terms,black holes are truly.For example,a black hole formed by the
collapse of a giant star would have an event horizon（视界）only 18 miles across.
● The nearest black holes would be dozens of light years away from Earth.One light year
is about 6 trillion（万亿）miles.Even the most powerful telescopes could not pick out an object
so small at such a great distance.
In 1994 the Hubble Space Telescope provided evidence that black holes exist.There are
still answers to be found,however,so black holes remain one of the mysteries of the universe.
16.Black holes are part of space.
17.Black holes exist but are difficult to observe. 18.The center of a black hole is empty.
19.The attraction of two large stars leads to gravity.
20.The sun is the heaviest star in the universe.
21.The nearest black holes are hundreds of light years away from us.
22.The Hubble Space Telescope helps scientists to understand the nature of the universe.

Memory Test
1"I am going to give you five techniques that will enable you to remember anything you
need to know at school,"promised lecturer lan Robinson to a hundred schoolchildren.He
slapped his hand down on the table."When I've finished in two hours' time,your work will be
far more effective and productive.Anyone not interested,leave now."The entire room sat still.
2Robinson calls himself the Mind Magician （魔术师）.He specializes in doing magic tricks
that look totally impossible,and then he reveals that they involve nothing more mysterious
than good old-fashioned trickery （骗术）."I have always been interested in tricks
involving memory-being able to reel off （一口气 说出） the order of cards in a pack,that sort
of thing,"he explains.
3Robinson was already lecturing to schools on his magic techniques when it struck him
that students might find memory techniques even more valuable."It wasn't difficult area to
move inot,as the stuff's all there in books."So he summarized everything to make a two-hour
lecture about five techniques.
4"You want to learn a list of a hundred things?A thousand?No problem,"says
Robinson.The scandal is that every child is not taught the techniques from the beginning of
their school life.The schoolchildren who were watching him thought it was brilliant."I wish
I'd been told this earlier,"commented Mark,after Robinson had shown them how to
construct"mental journeys".
5Essentially,you visualize （想象） a walk down a street,or a trip round a room,and pick
the points where you will put the things you want to remember-the lamppost,the fruit
bowl.Then in each location you put a visual representation of your list-phrasal verbs,historical
dates,whatever-making them as strange as possible.It is that simple,and it works.
6The reaction of schools has been uniformly enthusiastic."The pupils benefited
enormously from lan's presentation,"says Dr Johnston,head of the school where Robinson
was speaking."ldeally we should run a regular class in memory techniques so pupils can pick
it up gradually."
