Text 1 Astronomical Discoveries

Astronomers continue to make progress in the search for planets outside our solar system. Two groups reported on this work at the recent meeting of the International Astronomical Union in Baltimore, Maryland. Astronomers from the center of astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, reported evidence of a planet orbiting a star ninety light years from the earth. They said their discovery was an accident. The astronomers had been studying the star for seven years. They were following the star’s movements as a way to test their instruments. Star movement is affected by any object that might be orbiting it. The larger the object, the larger the unusual movement of the star. So astronomers look for new planets by studying the movements of stars. One of the astronomers at the Massachusetts center, David Nathan, found that the path of the star he had been studying was not straight. It had a strange movement. Measurements of this strange movement showed that an unseen object was orbiting the star every eighty-four days. Dr. Nathan said the object is big enough to be a planet. In fact, he thinks it is ten times as big as Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. The object appears to be as close to its star as the planet Mercury is to our sun. Mercury’s temperatures are very hot. Temperatures on the orbiting object would be very hot too. Much too hot, Dr. Nathan said, for life as we know it to exist.

An astronomer from the University of Victoria in Canada also spoke to the Astronomical Union meeting in Baltimore. He gave the latest information on an announcement he made a year ago. In that announcement, he said he had found evidence of several planets outside our solar system. For seven years astronomer Bruce Campbell has been measuring the movement of stars by examining their colors. The technique is very exact, and Dr. Campbell has measured eighteen stars so far. He found what may be the evidence of planets orbiting nine of eighteen. Dr. Campbell believes that this means as many as half the stars in the Milky Way galaxy may have planets. Some astronomers believe it means every star in the sky may have a planet.

天文发现

天文学家对太阳系外行星的研究取得了长足进展。最近在马里兰州巴尔的摩市举行的国际天文协会的会议上，有两个小组对此工作做了汇报。来自马萨诸塞州剑桥天体物理学中心的天文学家报告发现了一颗行星，该行星围绕距离地球90光年的一颗恒星旋转。他们说这一发现纯属偶然。天文学家们研究那颗恒星已经7 年了，他们追踪恒星的运动是为了检测他们的仪器。恒星的运动受围绕它旋转的物体的影响。物体越大，恒星的异常运动就表现得越明显。因此天文学家通过研究恒星的运动寻找新的行星。

马萨诸塞州天体物理学中心的天文学家大卫·内森发现他所研究的星体并不是沿着平直的轨道运行的，而是在做很奇怪的运动。对这种奇异运动进行测量后发现一个未曾见过的物体每84天绕此恒星运行一周。内森博士说那个物体很大，大到足以是一颗行星。事实上，他认为它是太阳系最大的行星木星的十倍。那个物体看起来距离其恒星的距离与水星距离太阳的距离差不多。水星的温度很高。那

个绕轨道运行的物体的温度也应该很高。内森博士说，那上面太热了，以至于我们目前所知道的生命均不能在上面生存。

来自加拿大维多利亚大学的一位天文学家在巴尔的摩天文协会上也发了言。他一年前做了一项报告，这次又给出了最新进展。在那次报告中，他说他发现了太阳系外几个行星存在的迹象。天文学家布鲁斯·坎贝尔7年来一直通过研究一些恒星的颜色变化来测量它们的运动。他使用的技术非常精确，迄今为止，坎贝尔博士已经测量了18颗恒星。他找到可能说明18颗恒星中有9颗存在绕其旋转的行星的证据。坎贝尔博士认为这意味着银河系中多达一半的恒星有行星。还有一些天文学家认为这意味着天空中每颗恒星都可能有行星。

难句解析

1. Astronomers from the center for astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, reported evidence of a planet orbiting a star ninety light years from the earth.

【分析】简单句。from 引导短语作状语，orbiting...earth 为现在分词短语作伴随状语，说明planet 的情况。

2. One of the astronomers at the Massachusetts center, David Nathan, found that the path of the star he had been studying was not straight.

【分析】复合句。David Nathan 是one of the astronomers 的同位语，that 引导的从句作found 的宾语，he had been studying作后置定语修饰star。

3. In fact, he thinks it is ten times as big as Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system.

【分析】复合句。thinks 后为省略that 的宾语从句，其中倍数表达的方式为A+倍数或几分之几as + adj；adv + as + B，the largest planet in our solar system 作Jupiter 的同位语。

Look them over the wise and the great. They take their food from a common plate. With similar knives and forks they use; with similar laces they tie their shoes.

You are the handicap you must face. You are the one who must choose your place. You must say where you want to go, and how much you will study the truth to know. God has equipped you for life, but he lets you decide what you want to be.

星火四级晨读英语美文100篇【励志感悟】第12篇 This I Believe By John D. Rockefeller I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and his right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation, every possession, a duty. I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law; that government is the servant of the people and not their master. I believe in the dignity of labor whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living. I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living and that economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government, business or personal affairs. I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order. I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man’s word should be as good as his bond; that character - not wealth or power or position is of supreme worth. I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free. I believe in the all-wise and all-loving God; named by what ever name, and that individual’s highest fulfillment, greatest happiness and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with his will. 10. I believe that love is the greatest thing the world; that it alone can overcome hate; that right can and will triumph over might. 翻译：洛克菲勒家族信条我信仰个人的价值至上，我信仰个人对生命，自由和追求幸福权利的价值无与伦比。我相信每一种权利皆包含一种责任；每一个机会皆包含一个义务；每一次拥有皆包含一份职责。我相信法律是为人所制定，而非人为法律所创造；我相信政府是人民的仆人，而非人民的主人。我信仰人因工作而高贵阳市，而不管是脑力和体力；我相信世界对人类之生存并不负有义务，它却给予人人谋生的机会。我相信节俭是理性生活之不可或缺，我相信无论是在政府内，还是在商务或个人事务中，节约在健全的财政架构中是最基本的需要。我相信真理与正义是维护社会秩序的基石。我相信诺言神圣，相信人当言而有信；我相信品德——而非财富，权力，地位---的价值无限。我相信乐善好施是人类共同之义务，我相信只有在奉献的纯净火焰中自私自利的渣滓才能毁灭，人类灵魂的伟大才得以自由展现。我信仰全能全知和博爱的上帝，不论如何冠其名，皆可以与上帝意志和谐的生活中发现一个人的最大的满足，最大的幸福和最广泛的价值体现。我相信爱是人世间最伟大之物；相信惟有爱能战胜仇恨；相信正义必将战胜强权力量。

Different countries have different kinds of englishes 不同的国家有不同的英语 Voyage s of people from england play an important part in spreading the english language. At present, english is frequently spoken as an official or common language in many countries, such as america, singapore, malaysia and some african countries. All base d on british english, the english spoken in these countries can be well understood by native english speakers. But actually, these englishes have been gradually changing in accent s, spelling s, expression s and the usage of vocabulary. Because of this fact, you can make use of the differences to tell which country the foreigners of your block are from. For example, if a boss fluently commands his driver, ―come up straight to my apartment by elevator and tak e some gas for my trucks and cab s‖, instead of request ing, ―please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis‖, you can recognize his american identity, while the latter suggest s that he is british. 英国人的航海在英语的传播中扮演了重要的角色。目前，英语在许多国家被作为官方语言或通用语言频繁地使用，例如美国、新加波、马来西亚和一些非洲的国家。这些国家的英语都以英式英语为基础，能很好地为以英语为本族语的人所理解。但是实际上，这些英语在口音、拼写、表达和词汇的使用方面都在逐渐变化。因为这一情况的存在，你就可以利用这些英语之间的区别说出你们街区的外国人是哪个国家来的了。例如，如果有个老板流利地命令他的司机：―come up straight to my apartment by elevator and t ake some gas for my trucks and cabs（直接搭电梯到我公寓上来拿卡车和出租车的汽油）‖，而不是要求说，―please come to my flat

People say they'd like to do this or that,but...then they offer all the excuses in the world why they can't do whatever it is.No matter what the excuses are,the only thing usually limiting them is their own self-perception. If I've learned anyhing,I've learned a person--any person--can do just about anything they set their mind to.The only thing they need is a willingness to work for what you want,patience to learn what you need to know,and just a little bit of belief in yourself,but you only need a seed.Your faith in yourself will grow with you as you move forward. If you self-perception is that you can't accompilsh somthing because you're not smart enough,then take the time to learn what you need to know and your self-perception will change. If your self-perception is that you can't accompilsh something because you never finsh anything you start,then go finsh something and change your self-perception. If your self-perception is that you're too lazy,too bust,too unworthy,too unfocused,too depressed,too dependent on others,the you're right.You are that because you believe that,but you can change that! Life is change,and the past doesn't equal the future.Your today is the result of your past beliefs and actions.Change your beliefs and action and you change your future.If you think you can or you can't,you're right.You are what you think. Think about that the next time you need an excuse. 翻译：借口有些人站在“借口”这一柜台后虚度一生。有人说，自己想做这个，想做那个，但是······于是便给出他们所能找到的各种借口，来解释自己为什么不能去做这些事。无论借口是什么，大概唯一能限制他们行动的只是他们的自我意识。如果说我学到了什么，那就是我意识到一个人——任何人——都可以做他决定想做的一切。你唯一需要的是：为理想而努力的意志，学习所需知识的耐心和一点点自信。其实最需要的只是自信的一粒小小的种籽。自信会随着你的进步而增强。如果你自以为不够聪明而无法成功，那就花时间去学习你所需要的知识，这样你的自我感觉就会改变。如果你认为自己太懒惰，太忙碌，太无足轻重，太不专心，太消沉，太依赖别人，太这样太那样而不能成大器，那么你是对的。你相信如此，便会如此。但你能改变一切。生活无时无刻不在变化，过去不等于将来。你的现在是你过去的信念与行动的结果。改变信念和行动就会改变你的未来。你认为自己能或不能，你都是对的。你就是你所认为的样子。下次需要找借口时，请好好想想

晨读英语美文100篇 Passage1. Knowledge and Virtue Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another; good sense is not conscience, refinement is not humility, nor is largeness and justness of view faith. Philosophy, however enlightened, however profound, gives no command over the passions, no influential motives, no vivifying principles. Liberal Education makes not the Christian, not the Catholic, but the gentleman. It is well to be a gentleman, it is well to have a cultivated intellect, a delicate taste, a candid, equitable, dispassionate mind, a noble and courteous bearing in the conduct of life—these are the connatural qualities of a large knowledge;they are the objects of a University.I am advocating, I shall illustrate and insist upon them;but still, I repeat, they are no guarantee for sanctity or even for conscientiousness,and they may attach to the man of the world, to the profligate,to the heartless, pleasant, alas, and attractive as he shows when decked out in them.Taken by themselves, they do but seem to be what they are not;they look like virtue at a distance, but they are detected by close observers, and in the long run;and hence it is that they are popularly accused of pretense and hypocrisy,not, I repeat, from
