Most orbits the sun far from Earth an
18、d dont threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a violent coming course together with Earth.Buy $ 50 million worth of new telescopes right now.

25、ng course of asteroids with the earth is very. unlikely. 29 We can conclude from the passage that _.（A）asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future（B） workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a violent coming course of aster olds with the earth（C） the
