24、 Reading (总题数：0，分数：0.00)三、BPassage One/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)How many things can you see in the night sky? A lot!

28、 to die.As the star cools, the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold. dark ball called a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until its packed together
29、tighter than anything in the universe.Imagine if the each were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. Thats how tightly this dead star, a black hole is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power?. Its the same force that pulls you down when you jump-the force called gr
30、avity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything-even light. The light from black hole can never come back to your eyes. Thats why you see nothing but blackness.So the next time you stare up at the night sky, remember: theres more in the sky than meets the eyes! Scattere

This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a pla
36、n and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along, doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood lakes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable. They say that ff they did construct a timetable for themselves they
37、would not keep to it, or would have to alter it constantly, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.There are many who stay away from the self-regimentation of a weekly timetable, and dislike being tied down to a definite program of work.

39、s of age have become conditioned to a work routine, and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important aspects or their work.

40、he influence of inspiration.Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom“. Freedom from restraint and discipline leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression“ or “personality developme

44、. are very critical of the belief that good work can be a natural product of instinct B. reject the idea that good work is second nature to man C. do not regard as serious the opinion that good work can be done at any time regardless of inspiration D. despise the idea that work can be done well only
